#scriblestudent #socialmedia #startup #curation tool to read, research and share the web #edtech20 #pln

2013-05-08T12:16:00.000-07:00

The Student Edition of scrible is a free upgrade for students
that adds the sweet features shown below.
If you already use scrible and registered with a “.edu” email address, you can upgrade to the Student Edition for free from the Settings Page in your account. If you’re a new student signing up with a .edu email address, you’ll be shown an option to upgrade for free during the sign up process. If you have a .edu email address but didn’t originally sign up with it, you can add it as a secondary email address via your Settings Page. This will then allow you to make the upgrade and use http://www.scrible.com/student
5 Powerful New Features
The 5 powerful new Student Edition features enable you to create sophisticated reports from you researched articles, easily capture citations while you’re reading online, generate bibliographies with one click, distill all of your highlights and notes into simple summaries and collaborate with others via group, topic or project specific Shareable Libraries. Nearly all of these features (except for citation capture) are accessible from within your Library (as shown here) once you’ve upgraded to the Student Edition.
Reports
The first new feature is a robust report interface. We’ve added the ability to bring the annotations from your saved articles into a rich text editor. Once you’ve selected the articles you want to work with and clicked the Add to Report Button in your Library, we take you to the report interface, which is a split pane view with the articles shown in a Source List on the left and the text editor on the right. You can selectively click on annotations in the Source List to add them to the report on the right. This allows you to easily bring your annotations into the editor and integrate them into your reports using the fully featured editor. Once you’ve finished writing, you can share the report using all the methods you’re used to, such as social media, permalink and email.

Citations & Bibliographies
To go along with report writing, we’ve tried to ease a major pain point: proper citations and bibliography creation. We’ve added a citation manager to our Toolbar so that you can create citations right on the webpage or article as you’re working. When you click on the Citation Button in the Toolbar (shown here with the green box around it), you’ll be shown the Citation Generator Window. We autofill some of the citation info and you can easily fill in the rest. Once you’re done, you can automatically create citations with a single click in all the major academic formats, such as MLA, APA and Chicago. This citation info is saved with your article for future use so that once you’ve filled it out, you’ll never need to touch it again.

Once you have your citations saved, you can pull them into our dedicated bibliography interface, seen in the screenshot here, or directly into the report interface described earlier.

Summaries

If that all sounds too heavy, we also added a summary view of your annotations along with some meta information about the article. So, you can distill down and extract out just the important highlights and notes. By showing you just the good parts, you’ll have a clean view of what matters most. Shown here is the summary for just one article, but you can pull in as many saved webpages as you like at once.

Shareable Libraries

Lastly, we’ve added the ability to collaborate via multiple, Shareable Libraries. You can now create separate libraries for various groups, topics and projects to keep your saved and annotated articles organized in an orderly fashion. You can also invite other folks to your Shareable Libraries so that you can work together to collect, save and comment on articles and Web content. If you’d like to learn more about Shareable Libraries, check out this blog post.

That’s it for the overview of scrible Student Edition .

Backstich is a personal web experience that aggregates content from your favorite websites and services into a consistent user interface.

2013-03-29T13:55:00.003-07:00

Wunderlist is here to help you get things done. Like I told you before Curation is now Social Media King and if you are agree leave a comment after you read the features .
Whether you're planning an overseas adventure, sharing a shopping list with a loved one or simply keeping track of your daily to-dos.Available for free on all your devices with next features :
Lightning fast performance and invisible syncNowadays, we are all using several different devices throughout the day, from mobile and tablets to desktop and web. Knowing this, Wunderlist 2 has gone native on all major platforms — Mac, iPhone, Web, Android and Windows PC. The switch to native apps guarantees a fast and stable performance no matter how many different devices you are using. What’s more, thanks to the brand-new server architecture your lists will automatically be synchronized via Wunderlist’s incredibly clever Cloud Sync. So clever in fact, the synchronization will happen without you even recognizing.
Reminders, Recurring and Subtasks
Everything you need, plus a little moreDo you like to work towards a deadline? Do you have things to do that never change? Or do you prefer to split big tasks into smaller steps? Wunderlist now features the new Detail View including Reminders along with Recurring and Subtasks. Guaranteeing your activities are kept on track and on time with little effort — again, again and again.
Brand new design
A love that goes beyond first sightWhen you first take a look at Wunderlist 2 it will feel familiar, yet completely new at the same time. Wunderlist has been redesigned to include all new stunning graphics that look even better on retina displays. Just take a look at the new icon, the nice subtle paper texture of a task and the handmade pictograms in the sidebar. The only way to achieve a design like this is by relentlessly considering and reconsidering every single piece — including the details you don’t directly see, but will no doubt experience.
Seamless collaboration
With a little help from your friendsWant to get your colleague’s assistance on an upcoming presentation? Or maybe you want to share the fun of organizing a birthday party with a friend? Wunderlist now makes it downright simple to invite your friends, family and colleagues to lend a helping hand. Through the smart integration of Facebook’s Open Graph and your personal address book all you need to do is hit “Invite” and wait for them to join. Oh, and if they are not yet a Facebook friend simply type in their email address. Sharing in Wunderlist has never been easier.
Push, Email and In-App Notifications
Always be the first to knowWant to know if a friend has invited you to a list? Or has a colleague added a task to the latest project? Customize the way you want to be kept informed with Wunderlist 2. Depending on your preference you can receive updates to your shared lists via push notifications, email or simply head to Wunderlist’s new Activity Center. The choice is totally up to you.
Smart Lists
The full package – beauty and intelligenceWunderlist's new interface is even more intelligent. It now shows you everything you need exactly when you need it. Instead of having filters permanently visible we integrated the new concept of Smart Lists that are hidden if there’s nothing to be shown. If you worked a lot with the former filter function you can easily make Smart Lists visible permanently through the preferences panel. With this approach we can deliver an even simpler experience, while at the same time offer advance users even more functionality.
Data security
Keeping your data secure 24/7Millions of people and thousands of businesses worldwide use Wunderlist to manage their lists and daily to-dos. So protecting your data is of paramount importance.. So there is no need to worry — you can trust your data is safe with us.

#curatr #socialmedia #curation #startup transform #elearning using a social learning platform #edtech20 #pln

2013-03-27T08:53:00.002-07:00

Curatr is for showing off the things you love.. Like I told you before Curation is now Social Media King and if you are agree leave a comment after you read the features
Have you ever been talking with someone cool and wondered what blogs they read? Music they like? TV shows they watch? Podcasts they pod? Of course, you don't want to know every show they watch, just their favourites.
In the Offline World you show a lot of things off on a living room bookshelf. Since a real bookshelf only holds so many things, you thoughtfully choose to display only the best items — the things that mean the most to you.
Curatr encourages the same thoughtful selection by providing space for 9 items for each curation. Select items and visually customize your curations. Friends can quickly view, discuss, and debate the choices, as well as show off their own curations.
So now go curate!
After meeting someone interesting at a dinner, visit their Curatr profile to see what blogs they read.
Find new people with similar tastes to you and see what else they like.
Get great content recommendations from Curatr based on curations from similar Curators.
Curatr worked hard to make this useful and fun. We hope you’ll enjoy and would love feedback!
You can use Curatr to transform learning resources into a Rich, Active and Social Learning experience. Curatr unique platform encourages users to reflect, curate and build their understanding as they collaborate with their peers in a social learning environment.
Features
Integration
Curatr can act both as a stand-alone solution and as a layer on top of existing systems. With Curatr's API and our flexible delivery solutions, Curatr can integrate with a wide-range of existing software, from Single Sign On solutions to content and reporting.
Visualisation
Curatr presents learning objects in a highly scalable, visual interface. Each object is represented by a node which carries an image and several dynamic pieces of information to tell the user more about what is 'behind' the click. Using this approach any digital content can be linked to and curated by your learners.
User-Generated Content
Curatr allows learners to contribute back to the platform in a wide-range of ways. From adding objects or uploading content, to creating comments and peer voting on test responses, no other learning platform caters to UGC in the same way Curatr does.
Object Orientated Discussion
There's nothing sadder than an empty forum. Which is why you won't find any here! Unlike some other Social Learning platforms, discussion is baked in to Curatr, with opportunities for learners to reflect on every piece of content.
Unique Testing Options
Challenge your learners to build new learning objects as a part of the learning process. Testing options include standards such as MCQ's and Discussion Questions, but also ask learners to stretch themselves by adding new objects, uploading assignments and peer marking.
Gamification
Curatr taps into the power of Gamification to encourage users to contribute and collaborate with each other at every stage of the process. With a comprehensive Experience Points and Levels system intertwined with varying difficulty settings, you can craft the perfect scaffolding and flow for your users.
Reporting
Curatr creates rich reports of your learner's progress, allowing you to not only check on overall progress, but on effort throughout a programme. All of our reports can be output to a variety of formats and systems.

Nowadays are tons of bookmarking sites out there already and we love them. The problem is, they don't really do exactly what we need them to. So we made a better one. We needed structure, not a bewildering list of tags; and we needed a superfast way to visually recognize a bookmark and go there. Mashbord is this solution.
Because mashbord is task-oriented, it′s more than just a bookmark site, it′s a productivity tool. Just create a mashbord for a specific task and then add only those bookmarks that make sense. Your additions display as thumbnails, not just text. This lets you visually scan what you′re looking for and go to it... quickly.
Features :
Create your very own, customized mashbord.
Create a Mashbord just for cooking websites and recipe resources. Or create an online shopping-related Mashbord with bins for electronics, clothes, and music. Create a Mashbord for all your most used websites so you're always a click away from what you need.
Access your mashbords anywhere.
Mashbord is always available, as long as you have an internet connection and a browser.
Make Mashbord your homepage
Everyone has a bunch of sites they ALWAYS access. Stuff like Webmail, Twitter, Facebook, the bank, you name it. You can set up your Mashbord with "Social Media," "Personal Finance," or even "Favorite Blogs" bins. By making Mashbord your private "Mashup Dashboard" you'll have direct visual access to all your favorites in one place.

2013-02-17T06:41:00.000-08:00

Svbtle is a curated, invite-only collection of great people who have things to say.It’s a new kind of publishing network that brings some of the best things from newspapers and magazines to a network of great people. We focus on the people, the writing, and the ideas. Everything else is secondary.
Our goal is to make it easier and more natural for interesting people to write down their thoughts. In the process, we also hope to help our members become better writers. To accomplish these goals, we provide benefits that aren’t usually associated with blogging, like copyediting and fact-checking, to all members, for free.

#medium #socialmedia #startup #curation tool not to big, not to small #edtech20 #pln

2013-02-15T10:02:00.001-08:00

Medium is designed to allow people to choose the level of contribution they prefer. We know that most people, most of the time, will simply read and view content—and that’s great. If they choose, they can recommend* content to others, giving feedback to the creator and increasing the likelihood others will see it.
Posting on Medium (not yet open to everyone) is elegant and easy, and you can do so without the burden of becoming a “blogger” or worrying about the arduous task of developing an audience. All posts are organized into “collections,” which are defined by a theme. (For example, this post is in the ‘About Medium’ collection.)
Eventually, anyone will be able to create a collection about anything, and collections can be invite only (like this one) or open to contributions from anyone. For example, here’s an open collection of crazy stories. Posts can also be “cross-posted” to multiple collections, which gives more opportunity for discovery and building one idea off of another.
Collections give people context and structure to articulate their ideas.
Together, the contributions of many add up to create compelling and useful experiences.
*There is a ‘Recommend’ button at the bottom of every post. Clicking this button is one of the signals that contributes to the algorithm which determines the order of recommended posts within a collection. We will also use this to provide feedback to the author.

#webdoc reinvented is now #urturn #startup #curation tool #edtech20 #pln

2013-02-09T10:35:00.001-08:00

Now webdoc is Urturn

Expressions
Flick through the ready-made Expressions and choose the one that fits your mood.
Your turn
The Urturn button is the magic switch that enables you to try out an Expression for yourself!

Webdoc enables you to mix the web to create interactive posts on-the-fly and start rich social conversations.Webdoc lets you create, share and discover rich interactive posts and engage spontaneously with friends or audience around your interests, passions, events and promotion - when a status update just isn’t enough to tell your story and you don’t want to start a blog.
Enabling people to express themselves in a richer, more interactive way than traditional social networks, Webdoc is the next evolution of online communication. Webdoc users can start expressive conversations quickly and easily by pulling in rich content — video, audio, photos, and more — from across the web, as well as unique Webdoc Apps, to create instant shareable pages around their passions and interests.
Reduce the digital gap between school life and everyday life. Leverage the wealth of web content in learner interactions. Because each webdoc can be conversation about a subject, the teaching activity is at the center of your student interaction.
Webdocs can be very public or shared securely between just a few people. Each webdoc remains yours; you keep full control of its access and content, expanding your lesson beyond the classroom door.
How can webdoc support your teaching
Collaboratively create content . With webdoc, your students become educational content creators. Engage them to search collaboratively for information to build their own curriculum and content that is not only more creative, but up to date. Mashup, build, produce and share! Not only are your students learning, they are engaging in the learning process with video, sound, text, maps, and much more.
Publish and extend a classroom lesson and let students exchange their understanding and ideas about the subject. They participate using rich media that they created or found online: links, drawings, videos, images, texts, and so on. They can even include polls about the subject!
Student homework
Enable learners to work on and submit their homework in one-to-one private webdocs shared with you, using rich media. This helps prepare them for life: learning to use online content well is becoming a key skill.Follow the working methods and progress of each student. Trace the evolution of your learners.
Enrich your Facebook and Twitter posts
Enhance your existing social presence by posting rich content on webdoc and sharing it with your communities.
A post becomes a rich discussion room as others reply - a persistent room on a specific subject!
Social activities, school and families
Share with families and friends a rich web collage that shows pictures, videos, maps, and songs created collaboratively by the classroom. A webdoc can bring a new dimension to sporting events, school productions and extra-curricular activities, … If you like this new social media tool and if you know other tools like this please leave a comment

#snipit #socialmedia #startup #curation tool closing today because is joining forces with yahoo

2013-01-23T09:53:00.001-08:00

Here what we lose :(

Snip.it lets you keep an annotated, shareable library of the best content you find online. You can snip anything on the web, add your opinion, then organize it into collections themed around the topics you want to catalog. Great pieces of journalism, funny videos or memes, articles for a research project — your Snip.it library lets you save the content you care about and express yourself through your interests.
What’s more, you can discover new content by subscribing to other Snippers’ collections. All the snips from collections you’re subscribed to will show up in your My Subscriptions tab. You can also browse snips from collections we’ve featured on the Featured page, or search any topic to see what people are snipping around it.

From their website http://snip.it/

Snip.it is Joining Forces with Yahoo!

We are excited to share some big news: Snip.it has been acquired by Yahoo!. For the past year and a half, we've worked tirelessly as a team to build the best social news platform on the web. We've been absolutely blown away by the breadth, depth and quality of the content you guys share on Snip.it every day. You helped make it a treasure trove of unique content, and we cannot thank you enough for your contributions to the platform, as well as your valuable feedback on the product.

We are thrilled at the opportunity to bring Snip.it's vision to a larger scale at Yahoo!. While we can't share the specifics of what we'll be building, we are excited about the opportunity to take social news to new, exciting heights at Yahoo!. The Yahoo! team is passionate about inspiring and entertaining the world’s daily habits, and certainly sharing news and information is something we all do every day. The vision and energy at the company is contagious, and we’re so excited to be part of all that is to come.

As of today, we will no longer support snipping. However, we've built a few options for you to download and export all your snips. The download link will be available until February 21, 2013.
