    About Repeating Motif Generator
    The repeating motif graphic is made by your selections of some parameters. There is no problem if you are not good at drawing, because freehand drawing is not necessary. It is difficult to make the graphic you want. Please enjoy the haphazardness. But you will understand the pattern of graphic by experience. The coloring changes the feeling of graphic radically, it depends on your sense.

  • 7 Things You Should Know About Geolocation | EDUCAUSE - Geolocation, also called geotagging, is the practice of associating a digital resource with a physical location. A photographer, for example, might include the longitude and latitude coordinates for where a picture was taken, allowing others to pinpoint that location on a map. Increasingly, geolocation is being applied to infrastructure components and end-user devices for the purpose of knowing where people are. This additional layer of location data can make resources much more useful to a broad range of users.
  • 7 Things You Should Know About QR Codes | EDUCAUSE - QR codes are two-dimensional bar codes that can contain any alphanumeric text and that often feature URLs that direct users to sites where they can learn about an object or place (a practice known as ?mobile tagging?). Decoding software on tools such as camera phones interprets the codes, which are increasingly found in places such as product labels, billboards, and buildings, inviting passers-by to pull out their mobile phones and uncover the encoded information. QR codes link the physical world with the virtual by providing on-the-spot access to descriptive language and online resources for objects and locations. In this way, the codes support experiential learning, bringing scholarship out of the classroom and into physical experience. The greatest importance of QR codes could lie not in their specific use but in the opportunities they offer for moving away from keyboards as input devices in learning environments.
