VideoNot.es

VideoNot.es is a Google app that is used to annotate video. The app runs within a browser. Comments related to a video (e.g., a YouTube video) are time stamped. When finished, clicking a comment cues up the associated section of the video.

My first thought when reviewing the app was that it could be used in place of the expensive software qualitative researchers use to annotate video. It might also be thought of as a way to take notes from video – say the type of video used in a flipped classroom scenario. Like several products that allow students to annotate a simultaneous audio recording the product would allow the student to review parts of the video that require more careful thought. The system also makes a great way to evaluate and share thoughts on a video product under development.  The file resulting from such an analysis can then be shared.

i still don’t get the no caps thing

I think of danah boyd as a next generation Sherry Turkle (Second Self). danah writes about teen and social media from the perspective of an anthropologist/sociologist. I can recommend her most recent book (It’s complicated). An introduction to her work can be gleaned from a recent interview with Leo Laporte. Her comments on teen online behavior should be reassuring to teachers and parents. I did also learn that danah has serious chops as a CS major.

BTW – the lower case thing is somewhat of a homage to her mother.
