Great minds think alike, Chris!

I have two relevant lists:

I think most folk are on at least one of those lists - you are probably on
both!! I have other non-education lists too if you fancy a nose!

Julia ... have you considered adding that list of twitterers to a twitter list? I could do it for you if you've not yet been invited to the list community.

Of course I don't necessarily enjoy being a drone!

It wasn't me - I'm an RSS addict, although Twitter taking over the role of RSS is something which has been discussed widely. What I *did* say at ALT-C is that Twitter is taking over some of the role of email for me - and a good thing too. I have much more control over twitter than I do over email, and I'm starting to feel about email the way I do about the FAX machine...

Re: eLearning Blog: Dear Blackboard

Chris Jobling — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 05:16:55 -0000

Like a lot of tools, once you have invested a lot of time creating content, "learning objects", structures and approaches, you become somewhat dependent on it. While I hate Blackboard's many deficiencies, I have learned the work arounds. Though I deplore the company's Borg-like assimilation methods, I usually roll my own. While I can't wait for BB 9 to be rolled out, I will have to manage for another year. But could I change to another tool? Not easily I think!

And even if I was flexible enough to migrate, I'm not sure that my students would be.

Despite actually being employed to admin Blackboard, it is just a tool to me and I would be just as happy looking after something a little more modern if it came my way :-)

Would I move from Blackboard ... probably not ... I have too much invested in it after all these years. I just work around it where I have to.

Re: 6 Reasons Why Mozilla Firefox Is Safe Compared To Internet Explorer

Julia Ault — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 10:00:02 -0000

A man after my own heart, Chris! I too use Chrome in the ways you described
and love the separate desktop apps for Gmail, Calendar and Reader both at
home and in work. I also use one for my Novell WebAccess work email when at
home which works great. I have also used Prism to create similar apps from
Firefox.
I am a big fan of Opera too, which I used for years not just as a browser,
but Opera Mail was my sole email client at home until going back to work
when I could not download emails through Opera at work as we are only
allowed to use Port 80 - apart from in our GroupWise desktop client. I then
set up Gmail to pick up all my personal email accounts and send from them so
that I can access other email in work too, if needed.

So I tend to flit between the 3 browsers at will, which is handy if you want
to keep signed in to a few different accounts for example.

I just cant get on with IE for some reason (although I have tried) and
usually ignore it as much as is humanly possible! Have you ever tried to
code websites for IE6 (and other normal browsers) ??? *shudders at the
traumatic memories invoked*

Re: Social media starter videos

Julia Ault — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 20:07:59 -0000

Ah thanks Chris...ii was a bit worried about their quality I must say as it is my first attempt. A very good point re adding feeds and that probably needs another short video to clarify.

Re: 6 Reasons Why Mozilla Firefox Is Safe Compared To Internet Explorer

Chris Jobling — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 05:32:15 -0000

I use chrome, almost exclusively, and Firefox when I need a plugin such as Firebug (for web development) or Zotero (research tool). I have google reader, gmail and flickr in separate desktop apps that are easy to create in Chrome using the "create application shortcut". Firefox has better integrated social media tools for twitter and delicious: in chrome you have to rely on bookmarklets, but as more sharing tools are built into the web applications themselves, the need for specialist plugins will diminish in the future I think. Both Firefox and Chrome (which is based on the same HTML/CSS/JavaScript engine as Safari) have much better web standards compliance than IE (even version 8) which has to maintain backwards compatibility with the horrible mess Microsoft made of IE 3, 4, 5 and 6.

I would say that it is here to stay ... but when it's ubiquitous and invisible, like the internet itself, then it'll have truly arrived. Until then, we are all playing in the sand with our buckets and spades.

Julia

I've just watched your introductory videos and I don't think they're too childish at all. In fact, I was not aware of some of the new social networking features of reader and I use that every day!

Just one suggestion. You dive into social sharing before you've shown how feeds are added! A brand new G-reader user probably doesn't have any feeds apart from those that Google provides!

Keep up the good work!

Chris
