MagzineFactory - and mashups

MagazineFactory proudly presents Youtube, TeacherTube and GoogleMaps
Media creation, sharing and publishing are strongly coupled with the concept of UGC (User Generated Content) and the Social Web. The environment of on-line production and is changing rapidlly. Not only the shape of the typical student but also the available tools are changing. Also the increasing globalization is changing the scene, how we work, study, collaborate, and communicate. Our audience is not merely listening ... they are creating their own thing. MagazineFactory has been making this possible for schools. Almost anyone is able to produce content. And this content is delivered in social networks. Currrently, both public, private and commercial content are developing, almost simultaniously. New forms of mash-ups are developed where private and not private are melting into new forms. From the education perspective, one of the problems is the knowledge itself and gap between the "New Millennials" and their parents especially when it comes to participation in web communities and socia software. MagazineFactory is a versatile tool for collaborative on-line production. Magazinefactory is also a tool for teaching new languages with new meda elements, like video and inter. As a result we have extended our magazine tool towards rich-media (video). We have also added a button for adding google maps.Join MagazineFactory: http://www.magazinefactory.eu/Check an example magazine produced with MagazineFactory.
