Finding Education Resources

Upper Level Learning

There seems to be very little in the way of a cohesive thought within this here or anywhere else for that matter. Especially in the way of expanding and explaining the utilization of educational technology at least in a local and specific level.

In the following section we will examine some of the on-line options and potential for use in a classroom environment. Hopefully examining points beyond vague and theoretical concepts, although they will be covered and it necessary to discuss. But also additional application points as how to harness this information to enhance the learning environment and expand the possibilities for your students.

DropBox: The more I know the better I feel

What began as an intriguing backup/sync solution I stumbled across has turned out to be one of the most incredible services I continually use. Literally, as far as daily utility and usefulness I'm matching it right up there with Gmail.

While there are a plethora of online backup online services out there: Mozy, Carbonite, iBackup, etc... However, DropBox is the only one I have found that A) has a Linux client & B) syncs as many computers as you use (in fact, synchronizes your files at all!). Not only does it give you access to as many local clients as you want, you have one of the most useful and intuitive web based file management user-interfaces I've seen. It also stores the changes to the files you save (*NOTE: I personally haven't really tried this or looked into a whole lot so, I won't completely vouch for this part of it). All in all, my experience: awesome!

Blogger v. Firefox w/ flashplugin-nonfree

Acontinuation of my previous post. And an attempt to write a new one.
I am trying to keep as best I can the number of times my session crashes. Fortunately, Firefox has the handy "Restore Last Session" feature and Blogger's Draft "autosave" has allowed me to keep most of this. Also bearing in mind I have two tabs open: Blogger: Posting Editor(obviously) & Bagomego.

CRASH COUNT: 5

And the final score: Firefox: 6, Blogger 9.3, Adobe -2.3, My Sanity 0.
