Hey All!

I've been a longtime Doceri user and its lack of support (since January 2023) has finally bit me. It's time once again to find new software (and possibly hardware) to become a digital whiteboard.

Here's my current setup:

• Classroom Desktop Windows PC connected to a projector running Doceri and PowerPoint
• Apple iPad running Doceri
• Unused Apple TV connected to projector via another input

Here's my preferred requirements:

• Ability to annotate presentation docs / pdfs
• One time cost (in the hundreds are fine) preferred, but a low yearly/monthly cost (in the $50 range or less) is also acceptable
• The ability to walk around wirelessly
• The ability to record 20 - 60 minute videos (preferrably able to upload to YouTube)
• I would love to transition to an Android tablet with a stylus

Anyone have any suggestions that they've tried? I understand that I could screen record / screen share for the iPad, but I'm also looking for a new whiteboard app.

Education technology, or EdTech, is increasingly shaping and influencing the day-to-day experiences of students, teachers, and administrators. Recognizing the importance of education to the digital economy, corporations are capturing emerging markets in schools and higher education institutions through the process of digital colonialism.

Stop Trying to Make Social Networks Succeed by Ploum on 2023-07-06

Lot is happening in the social network landscape with the demises of Twitter and Reddit, the apparition of Bluesky and Threads, the growing popularity of Mastodon. Many pundits are trying to guess which one will be successful and trying to explain why others will fail. Which completely misses the point.

Particular social networks will never "succeed". Nobody even agree on the definition of "success".

The problem is that we all see our little bubble and generalise what we observe as universal. We have a hard time understanding Mastodon ? Mastodon will never succeed, it will be for a niche. A few of our favourite web stars goes to Bluesky ? Bluesky is the future, everybody will be there.

That’s not how it works. That’s not how it ever worked.

Like every human endeavour, every social network is there for a limited duration

The libraries have closed and locked students out of access to physical books as a measure to mitigate coronavirus. A large portion of books available electronically are kept in the walled-garden of CloudFlare. This means Tor users and students who ethically oppose CloudFlare are being denied access to educational resources needed for research.

Students of RUC (a public school) are essentially forced to patronize Microsoft and support surveillance capitalism as a consequence. Students have always been forced to use MS email services through Outlook, and there has been peer pressure on students to use MS Office products for collaboration which could be fought and avoided. But now students are being excluded from lectures -- the most essential component of education -- if they do not execute non-free Microsoft software on their own computers.

Updates about Coronavirus are being sent to students using Facebook.
