Aggregator
An aggregator or news aggregator is a type of software to subscribe to
news channels in (RSS, Atom and other formats derived from XML / RDF). The
aggregator picks up that supply with the news or stories published on the selected syndicated websites
and shows the news or modifications that have occurred in
that channel; that is, they warn of which webs have incorporated new content from our
last reading.
Blog
A blog, or in Spanish also a blog, is a periodically updated website
that chronologically collects texts or articles from one or several authors, appearing
first the most recent, where the author always keep the freedom to leave published
what you think is relevant. The term blog comes from the words web and log ('log' in
English = diary). The term binnacle, referring to the old logbooks
of the ships, is preferably used when the author writes about his own life
as if it were a newspaper, but published on the Internet online. (…)
There is a series of elements common to all blogs.
Comments: Through a form, other users of the web are allowed to add
comments to each entry, being able to generate a debate around its contents,
in addition to any other information.
Links: A peculiarity that differentiates weblogs from news sites is that
annotations usually include multiple links to other web pages (not necessarily
weblogs) as references or to expand aggregate information. And, in addition, the
presence of (among others):
• A permanent link (permalinks) in each annotation, so that anyone
can quote it.
• A file of the previous annotations.

Treasure Hunting
(Excerpted from Jordi Adell -UJI-: http://bit.ly/2ToUSpk /Revelec2/revelec16/adell.htm)
A treasure hunt is a type of very simple didactic activity used by the
teachers that make up the Internet in the curriculum. It consists of a series of questions and
a list of web page addresses from which the
responses can be extracted or inferred. Some include a "big question" at the end, which requires students
to integrate the knowledge acquired in the process. This text explains what is a
treasure hunt, its teaching potential, where to find ready-made fighters in
the Internet and how to prepare them ourselves, according to our curricular objectives
.
A "treasure hunt" (in English "Treasure Hunt", "Scavenger Hunt" or "Knowledge
Hunt", since of the three forms it is known) is one of the structures of activity
didactic most popular among teachers who use the Internet in their classes. In
essence, a treasure hunt is a hello of work or a web page with a series of
questions and a list of web pages in which pupils look for answers. At the end
the "big question" is usually included, whose answer does not appear directly in the
web pages visited and which requires integrating and evaluating what was learned during the search.
Treasure hunts are useful strategies for acquiring information on a given subject
and practicing skills and procedures related to information and communication technologies
in general and with access to information
] through the Internet in particular.
Cmaps Tool
(Excerpted from: http://bit.ly/2CRwOFW)
Tool for the creation of conceptual maps. You can organize maps and
resources in folders, on your computer's disk and, through remote service,
are shared with the Cmap community. Shared Maps are stored from
remotely on CmapTools Servers, and are easily viewable and editable by
CmapTools users around the world. The maps saved here also
automatically generate a web page and can be observed by any
user only using an internet browser.
Open source
Open source (open source English) is the term used to describe software
freely distributed and developed. It was first used in 1998 by
some users of the free software community, trying to use it as a replacement
to the original ambiguous name in English of free software. (…)
Currently open source is used to define a new software movement
(the Open Source Initiative), different from the Free Software movement, incompatible

with the latter from the philosophical point of view, and completely equivalent from the
practical point of view, in fact, both movements work together in the development
practical project.
GLOSSARY OF TERMS
The idea that beats behind the open source is very simple: when the programmers in
Internet can read, modify and redistribute the source code of a program, it
evolves, develops and it improves. Users adapt it to their needs, correct
their errors at an impressive speed, greater than that applied in the development of
conventional or closed software, resulting in the production of a better
software. (…)
Therefore, an open source program has a series of "characteristics and advantages":
• FLEXIBILITY. If the source code is available, developers can
learn and modify the programs at will, adapting it to perform specific tasks
. In addition, there is a constant flow of ideas that improves the quality of the
programs.
• RELIABILITY AND SECURITY. With several programmers at once looking at the
same job, the errors are detected and corrected earlier, so the resulting product
is more reliable and effective than the commercial one.
• RAPIDITY OF DEVELOPMENT. Updates and adjustments are made through
a constant communication via internet. Shorter development times due to the
wide availability of tools and libraries.
• RELATIONSHIP WITH THE USER. The programmer comes much closer to the
real need of his client, and can create a specific product for him.
• FREE. It is freely distributed, anyone can give it away, sell it or
lend it.
• EFFECTIVELY COMBAT THE SOFTWARE PIRACY.
Creative Commons
Creative Commons is a non-governmental, non-profit organization that was
founded and is currently chaired by Lawrence Lessig, law professor at
Stanford University and specialist in cyber rights .
This organization develops plans to help reduce the legal barriers of
creativity through new legislation and new technologies.
Creative Commons is inspired by the GPL (General Public License) of the
Free Software Foundation (However it is not a type of software licensing
free). The main idea is to enable a legal model and helped with tools

Feed
The word feed is an anglicism whose original meaning is to feed, and that in jargon
computing usually refers to a type of data used to provide information that
is updated frequently. It is used to denominate the documents with format
RSS or Atom, based on XML, that allow the aggregators to collect information from
syndicated web pages.
Feeds usually include news headlines or articles, often accompanied by a
summary. They are widely used in weblogs or blogs, as well as in electronic press
. Every day there are more media that use this web syndication system.
This term could be translated as a source, channel or feeder since its function is
the provision of information to users, although at present there is no well-established translation
and therefore the term is usually used in English.
