Social Bookmarking in Plain English (and other wonderfully clear explanations)

26 09 2007

Sometimes I find it hard to get the time to explain certain concepts - RSS, for example - which both have enough information and avoid boring to death those who already know things. Thankfully, those folk over at CommonCraft do really, really good introductory explanations of Web2.0-type tools. Here’s their take on social bookmarking:

After that you’ll also want to check out RSS in Plain English; Wikis in Plain English; Google Docs in Plain English; and Social Networking in Plain English. Watch the show for future useful episodes. I’m sure these clips will find some use in my teaching! :)

I cannot believe I have not seen this video before by CommonCraft.

I really like the one they recently did on “Blogs in Plain English.” They have pretty much mastered the way they do these quasi videos using paper and props.

I really enjoyed the video… going to “stumble” this page now for letting me know about it. Thanks again.
