Free Media Library in Blooms This list is distinctive as the resources are a) free and b) almost exclusively browser based. The list is also sorted by Blooms, meaning you are able to more easily consider your student outcomes FIRST. There are a few exceptions. A number of resources listed offer ‘pro’ services, but are still particularly useful using the free services they offer. There are a couple of software downloads included. Notably, Jing and Audacity, which are free and powerful products in the classroom and I felt compelled to include them. Have a favourite that’s missing?

Come condividere online ebooks Didapages con Dropbox Da un po' di tempo molti colleghi mi chiedono di dedicare un articolo alla pubblicazione online degli ebooks Didapages. Spesso ho fornito queste indicazioni via mail o rispondendo direttamente sul blog, suggerendo l'utilizzo del servizio di storage online Dropbox. Da qualche mese però, solo sui nuovi account, Dropbox ha introdotto una novità sostanziale. Non è piu' presente la cartella Public, indispensabile per la condivisione dei libri digitali Didapages. I nuovi utenti potranno condividere i file e le cartelle salvate sul proprio Dropbox usando le funzioni di condivisione standard del servizio, ma, come già detto, per poter pubblicare l'ebook, è necessario che l'intera cartella generata da Didapages venga copiata sulla cartella Public. Oggi vi guiderò alla soluzione del problema. Entrate in Dropbox (www.dropbox.com) e cliccate su create an account. Vi viene chiesto di salvare il programma ed iniziate il download (18,4 MB per l'ultima versione). Ecco come ovviare al problema.
Calibre - Gestion de listes ou de petites bases de données Calibre permet de gérer sa bibliothèque numérique, de la synchroniser avec ses appareils de lecture, si on en possède, de lire des documents dans de nombreux formats et de les convertir si on le désire. L’installation sous GNU/Linux est complètement automatisée, incorporant tout le nécessaire. On regrettera néanmoins l’absence de dépôt Debian et RPM automatisant la mise à jour. L’interface présente en une seule vue toutes les fonctions utilisables. On peut incorporer à la bibliothèque gérée par Calibre des documents de toutes sortes de formats, ceux des lecteurs de livres numériques, de traitement de textes, pdf, html, zip, pris en local ou par téléchargement via Calibre à partir entre autres d’Ebooks libres et gratuits. S’ils sont dans un format numérique, ceux-ci peuvent dès-lors être consultés par le visualisateur intégré de Calibre ou par l’appareil vers lequel on les envoie ; s’ils sont d’un autre format, pdf par exemple, ils seront envoyés à l’outil système approprié.
iMovie, les tutoriels d’un pro ! La force et la simplicité d’iMovie n’est plus à prouver. Sachant que c’est une application “gratuite” (avec l’achat de votre Mac), elle regorge de finesses et de subtilités. Cela fait un moment que j’avais envie de faire des tutoriels pour les expliquer. Mais cela était sans l’apport d’un cinéaste professionnel, Remy DEVEZE, qui a fait une dizaine de tutoriels (12 exactement) extrêmement bien réalisés et riches en conseils de pro. DCLIC.NET ne fait que remettre les liens de son site pour avoir tous les tutos sur une même page… Dès le premier tutoriel, j’ai découvert des finesses que je ne connaissais pas alors, à consommer sans modération. Un article similaire a été écrit pour la version 10 d’iMOVIE. 1/ Réaliser un projet… 2/ Transitions et titres 3/ Travailler avec le son 4/ Animer des photos 5/ Monter au rythme de la musique 6/ L’éditeur de précision 7/ Effets sur les montages (incrustations et autres…) 8/ Fonctions avancées partie 1 9/ Fonctions avancées partie 2 10/ Utiliser les thèmes
Umberto Eco’s Antilibrary: Why Unread Books Are More Valuable to Our Lives than Read Ones by Maria Popova How to become an “antischolar” in a culture that treats knowledge as “an ornament that allows us to rise in the pecking order.” “It is our knowledge — the things we are sure of — that makes the world go wrong and keeps us from seeing and learning,” Lincoln Steffens wrote in his beautiful 1925 essay. Piercingly true as this may be, we’ve known at least since Plato’s famous Allegory of the Cave that “most people are not just comfortable in their ignorance, but hostile to anyone who points it out.”. And yet the contour of what we know is a mere silhouette cast by the infinite light of the unknown against the screen of the knowable. Taleb uses legendary Italian writer Umberto Eco’s uncommon relationship with books and reading as a parable of the most fruitful relationship with knowledge: The writer Umberto Eco belongs to that small class of scholars who are encyclopedic, insightful, and nondull. We tend to treat our knowledge as personal property to be protected and defended.

The world's most difficult books: how many have you read? 'Fantastically convoluted' … Nightwood by Djuna Barnes. Photograph: Oscar White/Corbis Two and a half. I have read two and a half of the 10 most difficult books ever written, as selected by Emily Colette Wilkinson and Garth Risk Hallberg of the Millions after three years' research. The pair started their quest to identify the toughest books out there back in 2009, looking for "books that are hard to read for their length, or their syntax and style, or their structural and generic strangeness, or their odd experimental techniques, or their abstraction". And I salute them for it – they're entirely aware that people are going to quibble, and use their choices to imply intellectual superiority: "There will, doubtless, be those readers who look scornfully on our choices ("Psh. The titles? There are a few other books I might include in the list – Thomas Pynchon's Gravity's Rainbow, David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest, and if I was going to choose Woolf, I'd go for The Waves. How about you?
