They say: Print this app out , fold it into a book, and put it in your wallet.
I say: Do what they say. Kaizen is the only way through the insurmountable problem and that is the underlying principle behind the hipster DIY self-help of this. Derived from the old Pocketmod tool online and still quite useful. An edupunk tool of the first water.

Kevin Hodgson says, “We often have discussions about whether or not technology and media and connectiveness is changing our perceptions of what it means to write.”
And so begins a comment riff between us (I hope among us if others will join in) on his found poem/video “What is Writing, Anyway?”. All of this is made ‘frictionless’ (read–easy) by Vialogues ( https://vialogues.com/). Vialogues allows you to upload videos, use youtube videos or borrow from others on the site which you can mark up. The annotations can include Q&A, multiple choice questions, and comments/threaded discussion. Comment and threaded discussion are the star attrations of the show.
Here is vialogue based on a video that one of Kevin’s students created for his class this past Spring: https://vialogues.com/vialogues/play/4012 I am sure Kevin and his student would appreciate some useful comments and discussion. It is open to the public for the moment so play nice.
It should be obvious to any teacher how this jacks into our students’ love of video/YouTube/Vimeo/allthings vid. We have hacked the vid with text, but I think this is quite a bit better than the generic and juvenile commentariat at YouTube otherwise known as troll magnets.
I would like to see people use this to open up their workflow as they comment on how they used certain tools in making videos and what thought and work choices they made. Think of it as a director’s commentary to a DVD. I would really value such and I think Vialogues can manage it.
I would like to see the addition of other embeddable media here: slideshares, scribr, box, dropbox, but I am happy for now. And it is FREE.

Vialogues is a low friction learning and sharing tool. What I mean by low friction is that anyone with a passing knowledge of youtube can call this tool up and use it. The commands are so simple that perhaps a first grader could do it. The heart of the power is in the commenting/annotating function. Making notes on digital stuff has become ubiquitously easy. We make the notes for personal reasons, for professional reasons and for teaching reasons. Of course, a good tool works for all of these.
This is a good tool for curating the web. In fact I think this might be a prime example of curation of the kind afforded to larger numbers of folks with less learning friction and greater meaning. The mashup obviously has to be a selection of tunes matched on many levels that continues to make sense and is shareable. It is as if they took the video function out of VoiceThreads and put it in here.
