Instalbums Apps and Stuff you have to read Each week my Flipboard app, Twitter responses, my kids, my Kindle Fire and my Google reader deliver a collection of new web tools, apps, books, crazy experiences and must read articles. Here is this weeks collection: I expect to see a version of this technology in our classrooms in the next two to three years. A great site I came across in the TES, which would support Teachers and Key Stage 2 pupils in their photography work. I am currently investigating the possibility of using Minecraft within our school, there is an app, but I am reliably informed by our Year 6 boys of how rubbish it is in comparison to the “real thing”. I am grateful to friends on Twitter who shared links to these two sites that give further information on Minecraft in an educational setting. Firstly head over to Minecraft edu where you can buy an educational version of the game/ creator thingy.

Why you should optimize your LinkedIn profile links - Wiep There is enough info available about how and why to use LinkedIn and how you can add links to your profile. But why would you neglect optimizing your profile links, by leaving out the anchor text? Recently, I came across two profiles with links that didn’t have one of the standard LinkedIn anchor texts, but also dind’t have a “polluted” anchor text. Here’s Michael Gray’s profile. Example number two is Peter vd Graaf’s profile. In both cases, the anchor text used has no occurances on the page. Want to use these powerful links more efficiently? In stead of filing your links under “My Blog” or “My Company”, you can file them under “Other”.
DM.Stagram - Instagram Messenger (beta) How to Migrate Your Facebook Account and Data to Google+ Arrrrrgh, the really sad part is that you sent this to me and in all that searching for an alternative fb/g+ sharer, I didn't realize this could also do that. I'm having some trouble loading stuff up though. The home page is very slow, but loaded...but now that I've got it installed the Facebook and Twitter "login" pages don't seem to be loading at all. The FB/Twitter icons on the right side of the top toolbar should pop up authorization windows for each of the services and require you to login, once that is completed, you will have to click those buttons again & hit the "login" link one more time to get it to actually connect. Once you've connected, there will be checkbox/icons in the share box for whatever services you're signed into. I don't know if it's my internet connection or what, but every once in a while G+ has trouble loading in Chrome (yet works fine in Firefox at the exact same time that Chrome "can't connect to the server"... Hopefully that helps...
