Brain Rules Chapter 2 Notes

This week, I took a look at Stuxy as my new technology. It was brand new to me, and I actually had a lot of fun with it. Essentially, in Stixy, you create what they call a "Stixyboard," which allows you to collaborate on projects with others. It is limiting in that it seems you can upload documents and photos to work on, but that's about it. I liked the sticky notes and the to do lists that allowed for better collaboration. I also liked that it was "limitless." You weren't confined to just the space where you put your document, and you could have more than one document or photo in your Stixyboard. You could even have a different style sticky note for each person participating. It made the space seem more like a real idea board. I could see this being used in a group project that involved writing a paper together or something that could be saved as an image and changed within the software at a later date. I suppose you would just continue to upload new drafts as they came along. I again had the embedding issue. The technology itself is conducive to continued collaboration, so the best it would give me was a link to share with guests. I also took a screen shot so you could see the image directly in the blog.
