I came across a great new find this morning in my reads! Combine maps and spreadsheets with Google’s new mashup tool | Webware : Cool Web apps for everyone Annotated “Google has put together an experimental wizard for creating your own Google Maps mashup using data from Google Spreadsheets.”
The best part is… “you won’t have to know a lick of code, or anything super technical to use it.”
I’m sure we can find an educational use for this one…
Okay… I have been reading about twitter in all sorts of forums including Time Magazine the past month or so. Just like everything I do, I signed up and tried it out… but didn’t see the point a couple of weeks ago. Well, it just won’t go away, so I am going to try and again a little bit more.
I have embedded a twitter badge on my sidebar that I will attempt to update throughout the day with what I am doing. But I think the point of twitter is to make friends and follow what they are doing. So if you use twitter, please let me know so I can add you as a friend. Feel free to add me as a friend too. (http://twitter.com/edutechie) If you don’t use twitter, feel free to sign up and use me to test it out with me.
So the real question is… how can we use this in education? Not sure yet… I’ll let you know…
