A short week here at Penn State with the Labor Day holiday, but of course quite busy. The beginning of the semester crunch stops for no end-of-summer holiday.
Cole Camplese, ETS director, lives on a cloud - that is, cloud computing. Google’s Chrome open source browser project has Cole interested due to the potential is holds for cloud computing in education.
Brett Bixler, ETS lead instructional designer, has two interesting posts in the Educational Gaming Commons. The first is on browser-based gaming, which is exactly what it sounds - games played off an Internet browser. He weighs the pedagogical possibilities and links to a great article about browser games.
Brett also talks about a new wiki on Virtual Worlds that is a treasure trove of information on these worlds.
Jeff Swain, ETS instructional designer, posted the latest ANGELshorts to the ANGEL Community Hub. This one is titled Five Things Instructors Should Know about Downloading All Drop Box Submissions. If you are not familiar with ANGELshorts, they are very handy brief guides to doing specific actions on ANGEL, and are produced by Jeff and Mary Janzen, ETS writer/editor.
Allan Gyorke, ETS education technology manager, goes Zen on us this week. More specifically, he talks about when things and people take on roles other than what they are “supposed” to do.
