[ED-TECH] Fwd: Urgent Posting for @ the U

If you buy a computer program, and then you don't need it anymore, can you sell it to someone else? I am NOT a lawyer, but my understanding is that the license makes that illegal. If you actually purchased the software rather than licensing it, the "first sale" rule would apply, and you could resell it. Come hear one of the experts in the field talk about this collision between technology and the law and how it is being worked out. (I don't really know what the talk will be about. This is my guess based on the description below.)

The talk is TONIGHT at 5:00 pm in Gusman Concert Hall.

[ED-TECH] The first day of class

Ed-Tech List Members,

What do you do the first day of class? I would guess most faculty start by going over the syllabus, including course content and rules. That ignores the social aspects of a class, doesn't it? How about something that gives the students a brief look at the other students in the class or, if a large class, at least a few of them? The link below has to some interesting "ice-breakers" that you might try this semester. If you do, let me know how they work out. It might change the dynamics of the entire semester.

Subject: [ED-TECH] Prezi - Presentations that have a WOW factor

Ed-Tech members,

Are you familiar with Prezi?

http://prezi.com/tezjfixlhlhu/visual-rhetoric/

If not (or even if you are) please go to http://prezi.com/tezjfixlhlhu/visual-rhetoric/ and watch this presentation. I encourage you to begin by hovering over the "More" button and selecting "Fullscreen". Then use the arrow button at the bottom-center of the screen to move forward through the "slides." There is no sound, just the visuals. This is a great demonstration of Prezi and explains how it can be misused, when it is appropriate to use its different capabilities, and what it can do that PowerPoint cannot do.

Prezi is easy to learn, as far as the commands and such. Just go to prezi.com and follow the tutorials. But it seems to take a creative mind to figure out how to design a good presentation. Would anyone be interested in forming a small learning community around the creation of Prezi presentations?  If I learned it with a group, I would certainly learn more, I think. I would like to have both people who have never used it for a presentation (like me) as well as people who have used it at conferences or in their classes. If we work together and share our ideas and examples, it could be a lot of fun for everyone. Let me know, OK?
