Some useful (and simple) tools for Education (and Research)
http://www.andrewmurphie.org/blog/?p=120
Monday, 12 April 2010
Tools—what to use, how to link them up
• all of the links (and this powerpoint) are online at http://www.andrewmurphie.org/blog/?p=120
• most of these tools are open source (and free)
• all are simple to use, but can take a long way if you wish.
• all are things that catalyse education (and research) engagements, rather than “replacing” them
• I won’t show you how to use these .. they’re simple and instructions online .. but happy to chat any time
• online you’ll also find a simple list of tools (including some I won’t mention today)

I’m not going to show you “how to do this ...”
• I’m going to show you what you can use
• And point you in the right direction to “DIY” ...
Monday, 12 April 2010
you can think of all this as various combinations of apps, tags and feeds ...
Monday, 12 April 2010
WordPress (and WPmu) [the latter is WP Multi-user]
Monday, 12 April 2010
WordPress (single user)
Monday, 12 April 2010

Monday, 12 April 2010
you might notice that these blogs often carry the same posts
Monday, 12 April 2010
syndication—they syndicate with each other ...
Monday, 12 April 2010
Monday, 12 April 2010
this is one kind of feed

internal tags

Monday, 12 April 2010
you can subscribe to a blog’s feed
students (and staff) on Twitter,
using the “hashtag” #arts1090
Monday, 12 April 2010
in passing, before retuning to WPmu—Twitter (which is indeed boring for socialising at times, but wonderful for
research)
Monday, 12 April 2010
Monday, 12 April 2010
my Twitter feed
Monday, 12 April 2010
eco interests
media interests
music interests
groups
Monday, 12 April 2010
Research Collaborator (only know him from online)
not quite sure who these are now!
Monday, 12 April 2010
almost “real-time” search for Walt Whitman
Monday, 12 April 2010
and, as everywhere, customisable feeds are
here as well
Monday, 12 April 2010
someone I followed and who followed me back,
as a result of preparing this talk
Monday, 12 April 2010
but where do feeds go?
Well, everywhere you want them to (almost)
Monday, 12 April 2010
you can subscribe to a blog’s feed
students (and staff) on Twitter,
using the “hashtag” #arts1090
or have a feed delivered
from elsewhereMonday, 12 April 2010

feeds again!
if I click here in Firefox ... this comes up
Monday, 12 April 2010
one place these can go!
Monday, 12 April 2010
Google Reader
(integrates with everything else “google”)
Monday, 12 April 2010
bringing this course feed into my personal Google Reader
Monday, 12 April 2010

finally, a research blog, which can easily and quickly feed into course blogs (and vice versa)

crucial point about blogs ... when you link to another blog, they get a “ping back” to their blog. Since they are
usually curious to see who’s interesting in them, they check your blog out. Before you know it, you have new
research collaborators!

Delicious—online tagging
Monday, 12 April 2010
btw—the Firefox browser has lots of great add-ons!
two buttons I’ve added to my Firefox browser
Monday, 12 April 2010

RSS
• all this happens via RSS ... Really Simple Syndication
Monday, 12 April 2010
Firefox picks up RSS whenever it’s available
Monday, 12 April 2010
but it’s more often than not there on the page anyway
Monday, 12 April 2010
... at the bottom of the Guardian page there’s a good descriptions of how to use the Guardian’s feeds
Monday, 12 April 2010
Monday, 12 April 2010
btw—another Firefox add-on replaces the given ads with environmentally sensitive ads
Monday, 12 April 2010
but what‘s this other button?
Monday, 12 April 2010
Zotero (basically an Endnote replacement, add-on to Firefox)
Monday, 12 April 2010
Monday, 12 April 2010
Monday, 12 April 2010
Monday, 12 April 2010
the bottom right hand corner of my browser
Monday, 12 April 2010
Clicking there brings up the Zotero windows
Monday, 12 April 2010
click here and you automatically
add the reference
Monday, 12 April 2010
tags again
Monday, 12 April 2010
you can add notes
Monday, 12 April 2010
this goes for all of your references
Monday, 12 April 2010
you can link references to each other
Monday, 12 April 2010
you can export references in a wide variety of formats, and I think there is a Word plug-in, etc
Monday, 12 April 2010
however, you can also upload and synchronize your Zotero library via the Internet, and share across
computer
whether these are yours
or, via the formation of Zotero groups, others you’re collaborating with .. students, or other researchers (or
both!)
Monday, 12 April 2010

Zotero is courtesy of the Center for History and Digital Media at George Mason University ...
Monday, 12 April 2010
Monday, 12 April 2010
They make other open access tools

Monday, 12 April 2010
Omeka is one of these ... an online exhibition tool
Monday, 12 April 2010
Monday, 12 April 2010
some examples—and this could be used for research, community engagement (eg oral history) and teaching
