And old map of the world.
Thanks to community effort, Mediabird Study Notes is now available in Spanish. This is particularly interesting for students in lower grades that are not that much used to speaking English. Hungarian and Hebrew translations are in progress.
To get the translated version, just download and unpack the Mediabird Moodle extension (will be updated from tomorrow on).
We appreciate the positive community feedback a lot and we are looking forward to providing you with a revamped interface and optimized work flow in the upcoming release.
For those interested in giving us their opinion on our future plans, have a look at this concept.

During the last days, we could fix a lot of minor issues under Firefox 2 and Internet Explorer 8.
Thanks to James Jenkins, president of the QIMT, we could substantially improve the user experience on Internet Explorer 8 and improve the compatibility of the Mediabird Moodle activity.
We recommend updating your installation.

During the last weeks, there's been a lot of bug fixing and planning of new features and improvements.
We've got a lot of new customers and have set up a survey for more specific feedback than possible using the feedback button in Mediabird. Anyone who's been using Mediabird is welcome to participate.
During the last das, there's been a few posts on Mediabird on others blogs. See Dearborn Schools, and in particular the QEM has posted a few hints on how to use Mediabird. Thanks to all of them.
Note that both Frank and me are using twitter. We usually use hash-tag "#mediabird". Stay tuned.

We've committed a few compatibility fixes and developed a few interesting ideas about what to do with the Mediabird technology.
Moodle users are advised to upgrade the module since the new version features Oracle DB support and improves stability.

The #EduCamp 2009 has provided me with an a lot more specific view on the educational technologies in Web2.0 times. In this post, I want to try to define some important terms from the Web2.0 Learning world.
Micro blogging
is the process of providing on a personal profile a size-wise limited statement, common example Twitter.
Micro tagging
is attaching pieces of meta information to small pieces of information. For instance, highlighting a text selection or relating a part of a picture to a person is creating a micro tag.
Micro learning
is the process of solving a very specific problem using very specific sources of knowledge. Assume you're used to the C programming language and now just want to open a file using Java. In this situation, looking for a line of code that just serves for opening a file would be a process of micro learning.
How does Mediabird relate
to the suggested definitions?
Due to the limitation in size, refering to note sheet as the source for explanation when solving a problem can be considered an example of micro learning.
The idea of micro tagging is implemented with the text marker
that allows the user to attach tags
such as problems, questions or definitions to a part of their notes
(i.e. selection).
