NOTA is a good replacement or alternative to building traditional paper and glue collages. NOTA is also a good alternative to a wiki for assignments with a more visual rather than textual focus. I can even see NOTA being used in conjunction with an oral presentation in which students explain the significance of the various elements on their web page.</blockquote><br /><hr/><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">High School Collaboration Tools and Resources</span><a href="http://www.blogger.com/%20http://hstrial-pericson.homestead.com/services.html"><br />http://hstrial-pericson.homestead.com/services.html</a><img src="http://gyazo.com/fe261737aec070f88373df2ebecbc0ca.png" style="width: 400px;" /><br />Nota is shown as a tool for brain storming.<br /><hr /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Teknowledg-E-Matters</span><br /><a href="http://teknowledgeymatters.wordpress.com/2008/04/28/nota-cool-web20-tool/">http://teknowledgeymatters.wordpress.com/2008/04/28/nota-cool-web20-tool/</a><br /><img src="http://gyazo.com/a6cbf6c478b7fa453bb76ed0e5eeba77.png" alt="" border="0" /><br />Review by a teacher in the United States.<br /><hr/><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">De onderwijsvooruitzichten door John van Dongen</span><br /><a href="http://onderwijsvooruitzicht.blogspot.com/2008/05/nota-iets-om-te-onthouden.html">http://onderwijsvooruitzicht.blogspot.com/2008/05/nota-iets-om-te-onthouden.html</a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://gyazo.com/e768100f98d89aa99b548f6c2441b0aa.png"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://gyazo.com/e768100f98d89aa99b548f6c2441b0aa.png" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Review by a Dutch teacher.<br /><br /><br />We, Nota team, are very happy that Nota has been used in several schools for education.

Nota News - this shows you all the latest activity around your Nota</p><p>2. Clipart - the display for clipart is now an accordion style so you can more easily grab clipart (tons of new clipart will be added soon!)</p><br /><br /><iframe width="530" height="395" frameborder="0" src="http://notaland.com/cappy/13736.screen?scroll=on&amp;toolbar=on"></iframe><br /><br /><br /><p>Now through Nota News you can check for updates to all the different kinds of activity going on around you in Notaland. For now there are four feeds: </p><br /><ol><li>an 'all' feed showing all Notaland activity</li><br /><li>a comments feed with all comments you have recieved on your Nota</li><br /><li>a shared feed with all activity in your shared Nota</li><br /><li>a ratings feed with all ratings you have recieved on your Nota</li></ol><br /><p>In the editing view you can now see clipart galleries expand in an accordion style that makes it much easier to use than the previous style with a drop box. Also, please look forward to see lots of new vector clipart for you to use in the near future.</p><br /><br /><p>Thats the news and....</p><p>Here is your Tip of the Week:</p><blockquote>When you use the text tool you can choose a color for the text box background.If you highlight the text you can change its color, if you leave the selector at the end of the text you change the background color.</blockquote><p>We have many big changes coming up to make Nota more fun and powerful. </p><p>Please give us any feedback or comments and we'll try our best to put them into effect on the site.</p><p>Thanks for enjoying Nota and please stay tuned for lots of great updates in the near future.</p><p>Love,</p><p>Ben </p><p>The Nota Community Guy</p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5840145849475749676-5077016186833438233?l=blog.notaland.com'/></div>Benhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06278083546367972014noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5840145849475749676.post-84170070795056012652008-06-30T11:37:00.000-07:002008-06-30T11:41:17.454-07:00<a href="http://notaland.com/roeroica/">roeroica</a> hosts an amazing game on Nota! <br /><br /><iframe width="530" height="395" frameborder="0" src="http://notaland.com/roeroica/13650.screen?scroll=off&toolbar=on" ></iframe><br /><br />If you have a Nota account, let's join this board and complete it!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5840145849475749676-8417007079505601265?l=blog.notaland.com'/></div>hiroyonoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5840145849475749676.post-87220889336008225122008-06-26T14:26:00.000-07:002008-06-27T18:11:52.516-07:00Hello Everyone,<p>Before we share the latest info about Notaland with you we want to say thank you for using our service, providing wonderful feedback, and recommending us to your friends!</p><p>This week's new releases are the addition of a profile picture feature, and wikipedia content search from the sidebar. </p><br /><iframe width="600" height="445" frameborder="0" src="http://notaland.com/cappy/13630.screen?scroll=on&amp;toolbar=on"></iframe><br />Go ahead and surf over to your settings page and you will see a browse button where you can upload a profile picture to appear on your MyNota page.<br /><p>You can now also search for and drag wikipedia content from the sidebar of the Nota Mixer to enrich your creations.<br /></p><br />And now,  here is your Tip of the Week:<br /><br /><blockquote><p>With the frame button at the top of the mixer you can add or remove the white border and cut your photos into different shapes with one click! </p><p><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CdG_x7VTZfA/SGV_FQaIg8I/AAAAAAAAAB0/UJSygzkinDE/s320/Framethumb.PNG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5216715471659238338" /></p></blockquote><p>Please feel free to give us any and all feedback or comments you may have so we can accomodate your wants and needs as best as possible.<br /></p><br />Love,<br />Ben<br /><br />The Nota Community Guy<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5840145849475749676-8722088933600822512?l=blog.notaland.com'/></div>Benhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06278083546367972014noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5840145849475749676.post-28721818325973843152008-06-19T16:20:00.000-07:002008-06-19T20:23:48.726-07:00<p>Hello Everyone!</p><p>We have released two new features from our international development team this week.</p><p>You are now able to rate Nota from Awesome (5) to Keep Trying (1).  You can also see thumbnails of related Nota in the viewing sidebar to explore other Nota you might be interested in.</p><iframe width="530" height="395" frameborder="0" src="http://notaland.com/cappy/13206.screen?scroll=off&amp;toolbar=on"></iframe><p>Rating works on a one through five system where all of the ratings given will be used to create an average. The Nota with the highest average rating will join the new "Top Rated" gallery descending and in this way you decide which Nota will be popular. </p><iframe width="530" height="395" frameborder="0" src="http://notaland.com/cappy/13207.screen?scroll=off&amp;toolbar=on"></iframe><p>In the sidebar of the Notum view there is now a related page section which displays Nota similar to the one being viewed.

The way this works: larger objects are automatically moved to the rear and smaller ones to the front.</p><p>Please enjoy our new features and feel free to give use any and all feedback or comments you may have.</p><p>Love, </p><p>Ben</p><p>The Nota Community Guy</p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5840145849475749676-2872181832597384315?l=blog.notaland.com'/></div>Benhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06278083546367972014noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5840145849475749676.post-44924518950541763222008-06-16T10:45:00.001-07:002008-06-16T14:29:47.033-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/8359"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://gyazo.com/f8cd9c713be53e987673c353dbcc6adf.png" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Our C-Shirt project is reviewed on the Creative commons Blog by Tim Hwang.<br /><br /><a href="http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/8359">http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/8359</a><br /><br /><p>Thank you. </p><p>We hope to make this active in the United States in the future!</p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5840145849475749676-4492451895054176322?l=blog.notaland.com'/></div>hiroyonoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5840145849475749676.post-63357279424289190622008-06-13T14:25:00.001-07:002008-06-13T14:38:20.914-07:00<img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4_hKReEajUg/SFLl-wvRJHI/AAAAAAAABvI/5akYY0FXVHI/s400/iphone_nota.jpg.png" border="0" alt="Nota on iPhone" /><br /><br /><p>Now you can watch Nota on your iPhone or iPod Touch.</p><p><br /></p>Because iPhones do not support Flash, going to Nota will display an image of the Notum instead of our Nota Mixer.
