  • If usability was more important than utility, Facebook, Moodle etc wouldn't exist. Most technologies are usable when used every day. #edtech #
  • @moodleman Don't think the problem with Google #Wave was usability. Rather it didn't fit into normal workflows so didn't get used enough. in reply to moodleman #
  • RT @Dries: Drupal Commons released: http://bit.ly/9NFZnS Open Source social business software #drupal #acquia #freedom /cc @batsonjay #
  • Great idea: RT @web20classroom: RT @kylepace: Large Google Doc of experts willing to Skype into your class/school…http://bit.ly/9WQLgp #
  • Can't believe Google's decision to shut down Wave. They made all the wrong calls about it but instead of learning just walked away. #ripwave #
  • So I guess, I now won't have to figure out how to make use of Google Wave. But definitely a #googlefail http://j.mp/90Ibyc #
  • @dancohen How about "The Tortoise and the Hare" because fables are more complicated than they may appear: http://j.mp/cfcRu6 #
  • Traditionalists keep asking why students don't know this or that but they should really ask why and how THEY know it. Re http://j.mp/dgW76u #

  • "The team behind #Anthologize came and saw and coded, from brainstorm to repository in one week." http://j.mp/9rcPhf #
  • @cliotropic I like your idea of #anthologize as a course-reader framework. But what does it achieve that cut and paste wouldn't? #

  • @kmhmartin @tomwhitby Lurking is an important part of 2nd language learning & learning in general. Cf Krashen's comprehensible input #edchat in reply to kmhmartin #
  • @MoodleDan I use Chrome to Phone all the time but you can't use it with a leaflet or a business card. Thus QR codes. More coolade, please! in reply to MoodleDan #
  • @MoodleDan QR code transfers information from screen/print into phone w/o retyping. Once you know what they do, they are intuitive. in reply to MoodleDan #
  • @MoodleDan I use QR codes all the time to install apps mentioned in blog posts to my phone. Would be great if they were used more in the UK. in reply to MoodleDan #
  • RT @moodlehelen: Moodle 2 QA Cycle 1 92% passed – need 100% for Moodle 2.0 RC1, please test remaining issues http://tinyurl.com/moodleqa #
