4 outils gratuits pour améliorer les images de votre marketing de contenu Que pensez-vous de l’attrait visuel de votre marketing de contenu? Est-il médiocre ou exceptionnel ? L’image est un élément incontournable du marketing de contenu car un bon visuel frappe les esprits plus sûrement qu’un long discours. Les gens retiennent 20% de ce qu’ils lisent, 10% de ce qu’ils entendent, mais 80% de ce qu’ils voient. Il est donc important de stimuler visuellement votre auditoire, mais surtout de vous démarquer de la concurrence. Abandonnez les images banales et génériques dans les mois à venir et faites usage de vos propres images personnalisées. Créer des images originales, sans se ruiner, est souvent mission impossible. Comme beaucoup de marketeurs de contenu, il se peut que vous n’ayez pas les compétences professionnelles d’un graphiste ou encore le temps d’apprendre à utiliser Photoshop. Canva simplifie la conception graphique pour tout le monde. Vous pouvez exporter vos créations en JPEG, idéal pour le web ou en PDF prêt pour l’impression ! Et vous ?

The Twitteraholic’s Ultimate Guide to tweets, hashtags, and all things Twitter Most educators who learn to use Twitter effectively say they learn more from their personal learning network (PLN) on Twitter than they’ve achieved from any other forms of professional development or personal learning. Unfortunately educators often dismiss Twitter, or fail to see the value of Twitter, when they’re first introduced to Twitter. Our aim of this post is to provide all the information you need to learn how to use Twitter effectively as an educator. We regularly update this post with new information. This post was last updated June, 2014. Click on a link below to go to the section you want to read: About the Twitter-a-holic’s Ultimate Guide The original Twitter-a-holic’s Guide was published in July, 2010 when I’d just returned from attending a large conference overseas and realized that while a conference can make you feel really overwhelmed and alone — especially amongst the 13,000 ed tech professionals participants who attend it each year — I never felt alone.

Rubrics for Assessment Teachers who integrate technology into student activities and projects often ask us this question - “How do I grade it?” Fundamentally, assessing multimedia activities and projects is no different than evaluating traditional assignments, such as written essays. The primary distinctions between them are the unique features and divergent possibilities associated with their respective medium. For instance, a blog has a unique set of possibilities (such as hypertext, embedded video, interactive imagery, etc) vastly different than those of a notebook (paper and pen notes and drawings within a contained document). The first thing to realize is that you cannot separate the user from the device. iPads, Chromebooks, and tech tools themselves don’t demonstrate great learning; it’s about what students do with the technology that matters.

Scalable Vector Graphics Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. Différence entre les images matricielles et vectorielles. Les images vectorielles peuvent être agrandies à l’infini. Le Scalable Vector Graphics (en français « graphique vectoriel adaptable[1] »), ou SVG, est un format de données conçu pour décrire des ensembles de graphiques vectoriels et basé sur XML. Ce format inspiré directement du VML et du PGML est spécifié par le World Wide Web Consortium. Historique[modifier | modifier le code] SVG a été développé à partir de 1999 par un groupe de sociétés au sein du W3C après la mise en concurrence des propositions Precision Graphics Markup Language (PGML) proposé par Adobe à partir de PostScript et Vector Markup Language (VML) proposé par Microsoft à partir de Rich Text Format (RTF).
