Life of an Educator: Top 5 blog posts of 2010...

I started this blog on June 14th, 2010. For the last 6 months this blog has provided me the opportunity to share and collaborate with some of the best educators in the world.

Own Your Professioal Development

To get proficient at anything you need to always be learning. You can never get complacent. Software development is no different. Recently, I felt the urge to continue my knowledge of web services and Windows Communication Foundation. Web services is such a big thing these days and has been for awhile with the continued excitement over Service Oriented Architecture…

Is the Internet a barrier or a bridge for young adults?

By Christine Rogers

Is literacy in danger because of technology? Will students stop reading and writing all together because they spend lots of time on the computer?

Wearing a Nintendo Wiimote to Record PHYSICAL ACTIVITY

During 2011 I will be conducting a laboratory activity with senior physical education students that focuses on using subjective and objective measures of physical activity. Some of the common measures include

Self Reports such as diaries and logbooks

Time for a “Good News” Story for Education in PEI

One of the things you have to keep in mind about social media is that it’s all about conversations. Facebook, Twitter, emails, etc. are conversations going on around the world 24/7. Last week I listened and became involved in many conversations regarding education on PEI.

I had the pleasure of meeting the Minister and Deputy Minister of Education and we discussed internet in schools, social media, educational technology, the importance of 21st Century Skills and the IT…

Software Development In Higher Education

Higher education is a lot like any other industry in the sense that colleges want to bring "customers" in to their institution. They want to create brand awareness. They want to separate themselves from their competition. They want to show prospective students why their institution is the one they should choose.

In the past, the higher education "industry" was known as lagging behind other industries as far as the use of leading edge technology but no more. Today, colleges are…

Synchronizing animation with the captivate demonstration

While working withAdobe Captivate, if animation and the demonstration do not play in sync, what can we do to resolve this problem?

Let me share the solution I got while exploring many options in the tool. When you insert animation in the form of SWF file in to your captivate project, many a times it loses its synchronization with the rest of the project. Even if you have created the animation in flash in sync with the voiceover, the pace difference in playing the slides is…
