Didactics and Technology in Education

Slick video creation tool.

The above examples describe a wide range of geographical and geotemporal storytelling models, often based around quite simple data files containing information about individual events. Many of the tools make a strong use of image files as pat of the display. it may be interesting to complete a more detailed review that describes the exact data models used by each of the techniques, with a view to identifying a generic data model that could be used by each of the different models, or transformed into the distinct data representations supported by each of the separate tools.

The DiRT Directory is a registry of digital research tools for scholarly use. DiRT makes it easy for digital humanists and others conducting digital research to find and compare resources ranging from content management systems to music OCR, statistical analysis packages to mindmapping software.

Great index of digital research tools for the curious contemporary researcher.

Writing doesn´t have to be a tedious process and we can enhance it with some tools.  

It might develop some creativity too!

Using comic strips is one powerful way to get students excited and motivated about the writing act. Students love to interact with visuals and tools such as the ones listed below will empower them to do just that. Using these comic strip generators , students will get  to engage in conversations using cartoonic characters and build stories and share their works with each other.

I like these ideas! Teaching comic strip writing can be lots of fun!

Al revisar este artículo, me topé con la sorpresa y novedad que de las treinta herramienats mencioandas, de ellas pude descargar un manual sobre elearning que me va a servir para orientar con mayor precisión y eficiencia el proceso de diseño instruccional para la creación de cursos mixtos o en línea.

Soon we'll need a curation site to curate the curation tools.

A new list of curation tools, Listly looks really interesting.

A new list, I'm working on getting to know Feedly!

A really useful selection of tools  including children-friendly ones.  It's never too early to learn about research and proper citation!

Great one. Thanks

Herramienta para transcribir vídeos y audio.

Indispensable et fabuleux pour faciliter les interviews .

Les plans de relève lors de départs en retraite s'en trouvent facilités.

Robin Good has done a phenomenal job of gathering content discovery tools and putting them into categories for easy search and even easier use.

This is an Off-Topic but interesting !

Infographics is a very interesting way of presenting information. Students can really learn to dig deep into specific information and facts and create infographics to show what they have learned. GREAT!!!!!

"The goal of the system is to help students distill the most important pieces of information from any given text and form a conclusion."

Awesome tool for student projects.

I’ve become quite the fan of Gephi, lately, and received a good-natured challenge by one of my colleagues, which went something like, “Why is a everything a network with you, now?”  Obviously, in the case of social network-like phenomena, such as mapping collaboration in the Digital Humanities with the DH@Stanford graph–network theory and network language (whether visual or theoretical) make sense.  Network analytical tools like Gephi are also only a short step away from spatial analytical tools, like ArcGIS, many of which are used to ask questions about geographic networks and not about the kind of continuous data found in topography.

A couple of old ones, a couple of new ones.

Des appli Web 2 intéressantes. A creuser!

This article presents and discusses a range of Web 2.0 tools and how they can be used and the benefits of incorporating them into the curriculum. It also has a great video on how one teacher uses free Web 2.0 tools in her classroom.
