Infotention 3: Building Information Dashboards, Radars, Filters
The third of three screencasts on building information dashboards, radars, and filters, using RSS, persistent search, social bookmarking, engagement analysis, and Yahoo Pipes
Infotention Part Two: Building Information Dashboards
In Infotention Part One, I introduced dashboards, radars, and filters as means for balancing need-to-know with protection against information overload. In this video, the second in the series, I show how to build an information dashboard using an RSS reader. In this case, I concentrate on Netvibes.
Infotention Part One: Dashboards, Radars, Filters
Mindful infotention is part attentional discipline and part technical skill. This video introduces the mental and technical aspects of information dashboards, radars, and filters. Subsequent installments will provide step-by-step instructions.
A history of media technology scares, from the printing press to Facebook. - By Vaughan Bell - Slate Magazine
Worries about information overload are as old as information itself, with each generation reimagining the dangerous impacts of technology on mind and brain. From a historical perspective, what strikes home is not the evolution of these social concerns, but their similarity from one century to the next, to the point where they arrive anew with little having changed except the label.

Don’t Call It a Blog, Call It Educational Publishing
What if we didn’t understand what we do in education with blogs as “blogging” but as a quick and easy way to publish online within a learning community? Or a place to feature a portfolio of students’ best work? Or a site where professors and staff track their professional and personal development? What if we understood “campus blogging initiatives” as a community publishing platform to share, learn, and integrate various resources from around the Web into a more specific community? This presentation will offer an alternative means of conceptualizing how university networks might approach supporting teaching and learning technologies by designing their online publishing systems around an RSS-rich aggregation system of open syndication, rather than closed repositories and Learning Management Systems (LMS) that seldom, if ever, allow or enable communication outside the walls of the course.

Plague: Romeo & Juliet Poster at Bionic Teaching
I’d like to make a series before starting novels and post them around the room. It’d work nicely for history as well. The key, in both cases, is to focus on what would capture the interest of your students and make a strong connection to something they do like and understand2. It’s likely you and your English teacher friends are not like most people. You’re going to like oblique references to Kafka- your students, not so much. Remember to think about things normal people like. This is another reason it’s good to know your students and to pay attention to the many realms outside of education.

Cameron fell a few rocks short of "fully realized" world building. After having a linguist build a language, naturalists create a fully defined life system of flora and fauna, why do they turn geology into a joke? C'mon, "unobtanium" is a FAIL for me as a former geologist. It's minor but makes it to my, not quite realized.
