Pedalogica: educación y TIC

How we source, sort, and present information is becoming more and more salient in today's world of increasing information connectivity.   This is a great site for students and teachers to explore the world around us and the information that connects us.

Me parece una iniciativa estupenda convertir a on-line accesible las obras de los museos gracias a Googles's Cultural Institute con Europeana. Admás la forma en que se presentan es estupenda!

Para crear cuestionarios en los que se pueden insertar videos. ¿Se podrá ayudar a desarrollar el pensamiento crítico de esta manera?

"we should worry about search engines becoming the arbiters of truth." De l'importance de comprendre comment on accède à l'information et de reprendre la main.

People who use Google are given the impression that they are interacting with the data out there, but they are actually interacting with Google and its view of the world.

"They are prediction engines that constantly refine a theory about who you are and what you are going to do or want next. Together, they create an universe of data for each one of us."

"In a 2010 paper published in the Scientific American journal, Tim Berners-Lee warned about companies developing ever more “closed” products and “data islands”.

"Morville, in his book Search Patterns, says that the first and second results receive 80% of attention. The vertical approach suggests to the user the idea of a single result that fully answers the question, enclosing possibilities and preventing alternative realization."

Or in other words, is our acceptance of what we see in search results eroding our ability (or willingness) to consider alternatives and employ critical thinking?

My favorite statement, "we must always be aware and well informed about the intentions of companies, and never stop having multiple options for any service."

This article was an eye opener for me. I had never questioned Google before.

One of the options how you can present to your audience is using Google Hangouts. The post explains what has to be done to launch your presentation on GH. Very useful for small online conferences and webinars. This method can be successfully employed in flipped learning.

Useful for online webinars. Launch your presentations on Google Hangouts (collaborative toll, flipped learning purpouses too)

Now we know how to present a PowerPoint presentation using Google Hangouts.

Thank you for sharing.
