INFO 202 Fall 08 Blog

In the 190 or so posts preceding this one we’ve shared a bunch of interesting tools related to 202 concepts. Nick Doty and I are collecting websites, tools, and ideas that could be used in future 202 classes. We’d like to find as many as we can. If anyone stumbles across something that makes you think 202, please post it here, add a comment, or send me an email.

A couple of examples of nifty tools that people have already shared:

• Facette, the faceted Delicious browser from MIT. (From Noah)
• Library of Congress on Flickr (From Andy, Becky, and Laura)
• ClerkDogs (From Nate)
• Cloudalicious (From James)

If it makes you think 202, we want to know about it.

I ran across a few tools/services which made me think of the good old 202 days, and seemed worth sharing:

In case your delicious bookmarks are still not as annotated/organized/categorized as much as you would like them to be, the fine folks over at MIT’s CSAIL have released a tool to help with that, dubbed Facette. Actaully seems to be an interesting project, tackling familiar issues and questions.

And if you find yourself casting about for concept map/mind map software, the folks at Mindomo have both a web based and an AIR app which can be installed locally for those times when you just need to diagram it out.

Maybe this will be useful for the Fall…
