Educause Resources - Immersive Environments

Two new ELI resources address emerging tools for teaching and learning. The video Immersive Learning Environments: New Paths to Interaction and Engagement offers a look at the pedagogical applications of online games, simulations, virtual worlds, and other immersive environments.

The video is a 154MB Flash Video file!

The 7 Things You Should Know About Twitter brief looks at the microblogging and social networking service and its potential value for teaching and learning.

Apple updates .Mac

As I suspected would happen, Apple are beginning to roll-out integration of their .Mac services with the iPhone - you can now upload photos to a gallery on .Mac directly from the iPhone. Storage limits have been increased significantly as well - now 10GB, and 100GB/month data transfer. While very welcome, it still seems a bit steep to pay US$99 per year for the service (although I do) when there are plenty of free alternatives around!
However, at least iMovie has been updated to enable exporting of movies directly to YouTube!

Another new .Mac feature: "Another new feature of .Mac is the ability to use a personal Web address. A new “Personal Domain” button now appears in users’ .Mac settings windows, and enables you to forward a registered Web site domain directly to a Web site hosted on .Mac."

iPhone vs Mobile Web

This is an interesting article comparing the mobile web experience on the iPhone to 'traditional' mobile web browsing. While not conclusive - it points to a brighter future for the mobile web experience! Read the full article at Read/WriteWeb:

iPhone vs Mobile Web: "

Recently a Forrester report was released stating that the iPhone 'signals the beginning of the end for the mobile Web as we know it today'. The report suggested that re-designing sites for the small screens of mobile phones would become 'a thing of the past', because of the iPhone's advanced technology such as zooming.
