Web Tools for Learners

AUGUST 17, 2009

Currently I’m using Seesmic on the web. I can do that with the original Twitter, but Seesmic lets me have multiple threads open, and Twitter doesn’t. I’m avoiding Seesmic Destop because I anticipate the same problem.). I also prefer the light background of Seesmic over the dark background in TweetDeck. In Seesmic I can see the image just by resting my mouse on the link! I like the Seesmic preview of the image, which saves me time.

Web Tools for Learners

I kept checking Seesmic on the web for Twitter; it’s still down late Friday evening. Yesterday Twitter went down. I’d already been bleeding my most boring tweets off by using Backpack’s Journal and fulfilling two purposes: Re-routing my impulse to tweet about mundane things into, as I mentioned, Backpack’s Journal; And thus creating a log of my activities, a kind of diary. Did I mention personal use of Backpack is free?

April's Big Question from Learning Circuits is "How to Keep up?" This is in reference the immense and rapidly expanding technology tools. It is tough to stay on top of all the emerging tools. However, being involved in an e-learning community is a big help. For me it is a blog community and following many experts on Twitter. Not only am I often made aware of new tools, but also get opinions, tips, and examples of their use.

Users of social iPhone apps, like Facebook Mobile, LinkedIn, TweetDeck and Seesmic, will have an easy time integrating the iPad into their social media universe. The noise about the release of Apple’s iPad has been a bit overwhelming. Were you too busy to read the reviews, analysis and opinions? No problem. I summarized the gist of it in a quick handy dandy rating system focusing on the iPad’s future for online learning.
