Education 3.0 on Twine (#twine)
542 days ago

I have been experimenting with Twine. From the Twine about text:

People use Twine to keep track of their interests. Twine is a new way for you to collect online content – videos, photos, articles, Web pages, products - and bring it all together by topic, so you can have it in one place and share it with anyone you want. That is the beauty of Twine. It helps you collect information in a new, highly personalized, convenient way. You can use Twine alone, with friends, groups and communities, or even in your company. And Twine is smart. It’s powered by semantic understanding, which means Twine gets to know you. It automatically learns about your interests and makes connections and recommendations tailored to you. The best part: The more you use Twine, the more useful it becomes.

What I find appealing about Twine is its exploration of semantic techiques. There are some things we can learn from it for our eLearning work and for the functionality of Chisimba, especially in counselling and eLearning applications.

Computer Science for Fun with MXit, Chisimba and Google Talk
572 days ago

Here are the slides from my presentation at the Google Faculty Summit, where I talked about the Computer Science for Fun project that I initiated after last year's Faculty Summit. This is a project that is still under way at UWC, as part of a wider initiative with schools on the Cape Flats.

Unfortunately, I left the microphone for my iPod behind, so I could not podcast it.
