saw this new online tool mentioned in Anne Davis's post and thought it's a nice tool to try out, and best of all, you get to share your findings with other users. something about the tool:
iBreadCrumbs is...
A Social Network for Researchers
to Share Recorded URLs, Track Websites,
Review Notes Online, and Encourage
Online Collaborative Research.
to find out more, visit the site now!
2 things that came to my mind before i actually try out the tool:
1. the dynamicity of the www can lead to the fast outdating of our research. for how long would such a research 'history' be useful and how much would it benefit other fellow users?
2. organising makes info more mearningful but it takes effort and time as well if we were to review the list recorded by the tool and strike off sites that we deemed not useful. not sure if this would be too overwhleming.
will try it out soon :)
WikiMatrix provides two choices:
1. A direct "Select-and-compare" mode which allows you to choose and compare features of some 99 wiki sites online. The comparison is very comprehensive, which includes General Features, Hosting Features, System Reqiurements, Datastorage, Security/Anti-Spam, Development/Support, Common Features, Special Features, Links, Syntax Features, Usability, Statistics, Output, Media and Files and Syntax Examples.
2. Use the "Wiki Choice Wizard" engine which will ask you a few questions and generate a recommended list of wiki sites for reference. The questions asked what features do you need, which include "History", "What you see is what you get (WYSIWYG)", "Software or hosted?", "Your own Domain?", "Corporate Branding", "Storage System?", "Free and Open Source?", "Programming language?".
a very useful reference to have imho :)
saw this post off will richardson's blog, and am attracted to it as i'm also a mindmap fan myself. MindMeister is the tool which Will has reviewed in his post. the free version allows up to 6 maps to be created, and a fee is required for unlimited map creations and export functions. just to note down that IHMC CmapTools is also a concept-mapping tool (not entirely equal to mind-mapping) and it also allows realtime online collaboration, something which i recalled we experimented when we did our 13th TecXplorers Gathering.
saw this post off wesley fryer's blog linking to this incredible post on CogDogRoo, a total of 50 web tools that can be used in the classroom. a demo of how to tell the same story 50 times is also demoed on CogDog via here.
