MyOneLogin provides slick, easy single sign-on | Education IT | ZDNet.com
When the folks at MyOneLogin called me to pitch their single sign-on service for Google Apps, I was skeptical. After all, Google integrates its own federated logins and single sign-on interfaces with Apps. Why would I add another layer of complexity and/or cost to my domain? Since we’re talking Edu Apps here, all of the services within Google Apps are free and well-integrated. I’m all set, right?

Beyond Digital Storytelling
All too often, we teach students how to write and record digital stories without first teaching them how to create a story worth telling. It's important to not only teach students how to use digital tools to record, film and photograph a story but to also make sure that the story they're telling is ready for an audience. So, how do you help students tell stories that are interesting? Stories that are well organized, creative, interesting, and vivid? This site and the resources you'll find here are a collection of ideas and projects to help you do just that. The activities, tools and resources on these pages are ones I've either used with students in my own classroom or facilitated in a classroom with a partner teacher. They've been good story starters for me as I hope they will be for you.

The Creation Engine No. 2: An Open Source, Guitar Mounted, Multi Touch, Wireless, OSC Interface for Ableton Live
Ever since playing with iPhones as music interfaces with the London Community iPhone OSCestra at Open Hack London in May I’ve been wondering how I could use my iPhone as a controller in my rock/electronic band 100 robots. The 100 robots set up has Max and I playing live drums and guitar over a number of tracks played from Ableton Live. If I could mount an iPhone on the guitar I could manipulate the tracks playing from Ableton making the whole experience more varied and live and less like 2 people playing over a backing track.
