Hashtags are a community-driven convention for adding additional context and metadata to your tweets. They're like tags on Flickr, only added inline to your post. You create a hashtag simply by prefixing a word with a hash symbol: #hashtag.

ordle is a toy for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes. The images you create with Wordle are yours to use however you like. You can print them out, or save them to the Wordle gallery to share with your friends.

Teachers, try education 2.0

Glogster is proud to present Glogster.com/edu, a NEW addition to the site for all your educational needs! This is just the first step in making education and technology more engaging for educators and students! We will continue to add more and more features and improvements to make sure all your educational needs are fulfilled! Feel free to give us any feed back that you think would make this site better for educators and students.

Bubbl.us allows you to easily create a presentation-quality mind map of your thoughts. Here’s a demonstration that I whipped up quickly to show what a backup script would capture.

Bubbl.us particularly excels at showing how things are organized in a hierarchy. Using Adobe Flash and AJAX, you can easily move entries around to where you want them. The simplicity of bubbl.us is really what sells the product. You can use keyboard shortcuts (Press ‘Enter’ to create something of a lower hierarchy and ‘Tab’ to create something on the same level.) or hover your mouse over any item to find out more information about it from the friendly help section in the bottom right corner of the screen. The site is also conscientious about the value of your screen space and allows you to maximize everything, getting rid of their logo, a space on the right that lists your saved images, and the help in the right corner with the click of a button in the top-right corner of the workspace.

One of the real strengths of this web app is that it allows collaboration. You can share files in read-only or full-access mode which would allow people to see your image on bubbl.us and with the latter, make changes. Getting away from just the application, you can also export your file to HTML, an image, or an XML file. The XML file would be mainly used for importing your data into other sheets on bubbl.us. The HTML page can be used to summarize your hierarchy, it doesn’t look quite as impressive but is still a worth-while function (with optional colors). You can see a screenshot below or the actual file.

The Fifty Tools
Below you will find 50+ web tools you can use to create your own web-based story. Again, the mission is not to review or try every single one (that would be madness, I know), but pick one that sounds interesting and see if you can produce something. I have used each tool to produce an example of Dominoe story and links are provided, where available, to examples by other people. Please share your own examples or thoughts in the discussion area of this wiki.

But before rummaging around the toolbox, have you done your prep work? Do you have your story idea or presentation concept outlined, developed? This should be on paper or in a document file or scribbled on the back of a napkin, but do not rely on making it up as you go! If not, go back 2 spaces and do this now. Next- do you have your media assets available, your images, video clips, audio files-- if not go find your media now.

04 Tech Support contains documentation written by Jason Hamilton, an IT Professional at a major US public University Library in the midwest. The blog records problems, solutions and interesting IT-related topics encountered throughout the day of a system administrator. Along with these encounters, software (usually free) is reviewed and recommended as sometimes the perfect software package is the solution.

The 404 Tech Support blog hopes to provide answers to people looking for solutions to their computer problems, record problem-solving workflows, and make recommendations for more efficient interactions with technology. The intended audience can vary from tech savvy fellow IT administrators to new computer users looking to optimize their new experience.
