Web 1.0 passou a 2.0. Saiba como em menos de 2 minutos

Sem precisar de palavras a não ser as escritas nas imagens (em inglês). Com música, sábia e bem disposta (multilingue...).

Cheguei lá pelo Facebook, claro, a esquina habitual. A Leonarda Galhanas, que vive em Lisboa, soube deste por um tal Tito de Moraes, que remeteu para o blog da Biblioteca da Escola Secundária do Fundão (Portugal).

Aí, e ao lado da recomendação para Setembro (um DVD sobre um tal de Newton e uma leid a Gravidade), precisamente no post de dia 27.09.2010, se divulga esta pérola de simplicidade e entendimento.

Bom proveito!

The European Children's Traveling Language Library

The European Children's Traveling Language Library http://www.eulib.eu , is a European Union funded project.

It is targeted at motivating children that have recently started to learn a foreign language to:
1. Exposure them to the rich heritage of European languages and cultures
2. Be motivated to learn languages
3. Build a love of reading as the best form of autonomous lifelong learning
4. Reinforce emerging literacy

Traveling libraries of the most beautifully illustrated children's books in six European languages will travel from school to school across Europe.

Each school has the library for a period and has to carry out a number of educational and collaborative activities before, during and after the visit of the Library

and place the results on the project website for use and viewing by other schools.

Libraries Will Survive (long version)

Anyone helps with subtitles in portuguese, spanish...?

Sean Bonney e bibliotecários(as) de bibliotecas públicas de várias localidades do estado da Virgínia (EUA) fizeram um video impressionante, alegre, com humor, acção directa contra os cortes nos orçamentos e a desvalorização das bibliotecas, um hino e um manifesto pelo pensamento crítico, contra estereótipos. Quade 11 minutos na versão longa (esta), menos de 5 para quem tenha mais pressa.

Human Mind Will Survive (This is not our first crisis, you know? You didn't know? Oh... search your library, and you'll find out!) :)

What are people DOING.COM?

At Stephen’s Lighthouse, Stephen Abram has just posted a related analysis. What Do Americans Do Online? tallies up how folks in the United States spend time online (is anyone else as surprised as I am that searching occupies such a small part of our online time?)

The Web Is Dead. Long Live the Internet

You’ve spent the day on the Internet — but not on the Web. And you are not alone.

This is not a trivial distinction. Over the past few years, one of the most important shifts in the digital world has been the move from the wide-open Web to semiclosed platforms that use the Internet for transport but not the browser for display. It’s driven primarily by the rise of the iPhone model of mobile computing, and it’s a world Google can’t crawl, one where HTML doesn’t rule. And it’s the world that consumers are increasingly choosing, not because they’re rejecting the idea of the Web but because these dedicated platforms often just work better or fit better into their lives (the screen comes to them, they don’t have to go to the screen). The fact that it’s easier for companies to make money on these platforms only cements the trend. Producers and consumers agree: The Web is not the culmination of the digital revolution.
