Google Keep VS. Evernote

今天才無意間得到一項資訊，Google Inc. 也開始進攻note市場(Google Keep)了。其實早在多年前Google就有推出過筆記的服務，功能大致上是屬於文字記述，筆記本分類，標籤分類等等。但後來產品使用率不高，Google 就把這服務收掉了(本人也是覺得當時的Google Notebook實在不好用，很多功能都不直覺)。
如今，Google捲土重來，重新發展線上筆記這塊。但今日的競爭對手眾多，無疑地，說到線上筆記，大家應該都會聯想到最有名的Evernote吧~網路上也出現許多比較文。不過搜尋幾篇文章之後，發現大家都一面倒地說Google Keep太簡約，比起功能強大的Evernote實在弱太多，可參考比較文1、比較文2。

我一直以來是Google服務的愛好者，這次使用過Keep後，覺得他實在大有可為呀!!我想那些比較文比較的角度好像是同樣在跑步，卻把小嬰兒與成人做直接比較。畢竟Google Keep才剛起步，語音辨識這塊結合快速記事，我感覺蠻好用的。Evernote比較像是要做大型筆記的時候，才會拿來使用，我自己的使用率是不怎麼高。希望未來能看到Keep的快速發展，並新增多項好用的功能。

Animating Civic Education: Developing a Knowledge Navigation System using Blogging and Topic Map Technology


ABSTRACT 

With the advent of Web 2.0 technology, message transmission has become increasingly convenient, and the 

rising amount of information has become gradually diverse. A question must be asked of this trend, on whether informal learning resources can be integrated into formal learning knowledge. This study attempts to integrate educational blog articles and use the wealth of information inherent in the development of a blogging system with knowledge navigation demand for both formal and informal learning in civic education. In the system, Topic Maps (TM) technology was implemented to represent informal learning content in a formal curriculum structure. To develop a framework adapted to formal  and informal learning contexts, this study proposes a seamless model for teachers and system developers to represent informal learning content that adheres to the formal knowledge structure. Analytical results indicate that students approved the effectiveness of combining the blogging system and individual Topic Maps (iTM) function. In other words, the system derived from the design framework helps students learn citizenship courses in an innovative manner. The outcome further supports the proposed seamless model in providing an appropriate viewpoint for integrating formal and informal learning. [Article Link]

[Article] Motivation-Oriented Teaching Model for Certification Education

Motivation-Oriented Teaching Model for Certification Education

Tien-Chi Huang

Abstract

To evoke public emphasis on the professional skills training in vocational education, the Ministry of Education (MOE) in Taiwan has recently focused on the certificate of information skills. However, the lack of a systematic and institutionally certified instructor training model within Taiwan not only varies the quality of certified instructors, but also relegates the certificate education from speciality education to “automatic response training.” Therefore, this study included an experienced instructor of information skill certificates, who generated outstanding teaching outcomes using her distinctive education philosophy. We use the three domains: cognitive, affective, and psychomotor to evaluate the instructor’s performance. The results indicate that five critical elements existed in the training model: 1. incite learning motivation; 2. establish information skills; 3. cultivate professional knowledge; 4. develop student potential; and 5. use teaching resources broadly. Several pedagogical implications can be drawn from this study. One of the contributions of this study is the development of a coding scheme that specifically focuses on the teaching strategies given by an experienced instructor of information skill certificates, thereby extending the understanding of certification education. As such, this study may also serve as an impetus for further investigations that might apply this model in diverse educational settings.
