Checking out EduClipper
Jul 13th, 2012 by Cathy Jo Nelson
Recently I stumbled across EduClipper. Seems to be perfect for schools who shy away form social networking tools or whose leaders just aren’t drinking any of the social networking kool-aid. Still in beta I presume, as when I went to sign up, I had to, um, “apply.” Here is the response I got.
This past year in my teaching practice I had a revelation about students and their visual nature, particularly when beginning a research project. Students tend to start with pictures, simple as that. Having that notion, I think EduClipper can truly meet the needs of my students, in groups or working as individuals. We’ll see–if I get the chance to play.

How is this different from Evernote (which you won’t know until you get to play)?
Seems more educator friendly is all, Floyd. The video intro pretty much sums it up–but makes the pitch (that will appeal to those who are wary of social networking connections in tools) as being educationally friendly. Hate to say, but i’m in a teaching context that is extremely wary. I do like EverNote too, but can’t seem to make the powers that be drink that kool aid either. So perhaps this is a compromise??
