younity gives you instant, easy access to all your music (including iTunes libraries/playlists), videos, photos and documents on every computer you own. By first installing younity on each computer you have, you simultaneously have access to all files stored on all devices via your iOS device.
The "personal cloud" is a private cloud - we don't store your files online, can't access them and don't know anything about you or your files.
You don't have to log into each computer or browse them separately. You don't have to put files in special folders or flag them to be synchronized. There is no storage limit because you are streaming files from your devices, so you can have 2GB, 2TB or 2PB of files. If you want to download your files to local storage (for "offline use"), you can, but it isn't a requirement.
Just use every device the way you always have and know that you can have access to any file stored on any device you own.
younity even converts unusable file formats (e.g. WMA, OGG, etc.) to iOS-compatible formats in real-time when you stream, so you can keep your media in whatever format you like.
You can even search for files across all devices simultaneously, without having to even know which device a file is stored on.
younity is compatible with iOS, Mac OS X, Windows and soon Linux. Make sure that you first install younity on each and every computer (desktop and laptop), then install on all your mobile devices and enjoy unlimited access to all your files.

You are welcome to add comments and feed-back to all my blog posts !
Teach2013 will be the year of online instructor and mooc .
MOOC stands for Massive Open Online Course. MOOCs are structured similarly to other online college or university courses—they have instructors, course materials, and start and end dates. But unlike traditional online courses, participation is free and open to anyone who is interested and has an Internet connection. MOOCs are designed for large-scale participation. Students do not need to be admitted to a university offering a MOOC in order to take the course, and are not required to pay for the MOOC.MOOCs are a recent development in the area of online learning. They are a new way of learning that takes full advantage of all the benefits of a digital world where global connections are possible and information is highly accessible. Now if you want you can share your expertise and became one .
How it Works: Each week, Udemy will email you with training, resources, and tools to help you teach the world. Join us and build your first online course in 2013.
Not an expert yourself? No worries.Tweet at an expert you know and tell them to Teach2013.
Udemy helps students make moves. Whether you want to get promoted, break into a new industry, start a company, further a passion, or just accelerate your life, Udemy helps you learn from the amazing instructors in the world, so that you can get there and get there faster.
Udemy team recruits the world's top experts, including New York Times best-selling authors, CEOs, celebrities, and Ivy League professors. These expert instructors have taught over 500,000 students on Udemy, helping them learn everything from programming to photography to design and more.

Today, IT4ALL is a huge network with followers and graduates of Moodle for Teacher (M4T) MOOCs and workshops. The network is self-funded by Dr. Nellie Deutsch who organise every year since 2009 Connecting Online for Instruction and Learning FREE eConference http://www.wiziq.com/CO13 and this year I had the pleasure to have more than 700 attendees around the World to my Curation session http://bitly.com/LucianeCuratorCO13Presentation . The members of IT4ALL contribute to the success of the workshops and the learning community. The workshops at IT4ALL are facilitated by educators who follow a relationship-based collaborative learning approach where participants become active learners. Active learning goes beyond active participation as teachers and students become partners of learning and learn through teaching. The rationale behind active learning is that teachers are expert learners who can facilitate the process of learning.
You are invited to enroll in the workshops available, suggest new courses, create courses of your own, add comments, and ask questions. To access what IT4ALL has to offer, please click on the headings on the top bar of this and other pages of the website.
Scholarships are available for most of the professional development workshops.
I am happy to be involved in http://etmooc.org/ ,a ‘Connectivist’ MOOC (‘cMOOC) that is designed around a few key principles:
The course is developed with a weak ‘centre’. While etmooc.org will provide a level of aggregation, detail, and direction, the majority of interactions are likely to occur within groups and networks, facilitated through various online spaces and services.
Participants are strongly encouraged to develop their own reflective, learning spaces. We’re hoping that every learner in #etmooc creates and maintains their own blog for continuous reflection, creativity, and resource sharing.
Sharing and network participation are essential for the success of all learners in #etmooc. Thus, we’ll be needing you to share your knowledge, to support and encourage others, and to participate in meaningful conversations.
It's a honour for me to be accepted and collaborate with teachers from USA in The Transatlantic Educators Dialogue . Sponsored by the European Union Center (euc.illinois.edu), and College of Education (education.illinois.edu) at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. (T.E.D.) provides an opportunity for educators in the United States and the European Union to come together online for shared exploration and examination of a variety of educational topics as they relate to issues of identity and difference, with a particular emphasis on representations of "the other" in the classroom.
Who is involved with T.E.D.?
A total of seventy educators in the U.S. and the EU will be involved. Participants from the U.S. may be current teachers, pre-service teacher education students, school administrators, graduate students, and education faculty. Participants from the Europe should be residing/teaching in an EU member country (including candidate countries).
Where Does T.E.D. Meet?
Participants can participate anywhere they are located, provided they have access to the internet. Class sessions are synchronous; readings and reflections take place asynchronously.
Synchronous sessions take place weekly for ninety minutes using Elluminate. This online application enables registered participants to simultaneously communicate with classmates by using microphones connected to their computers, typing into a shared chat-rooms, contributing notes on a "chalkboard" tool, and using webcams and other capabilities to upload videos and picture images. Technical support for the program is provided by the University of Illinois, College of Education.
Prior to each weekly session, participants will have assigned readings representing US and EU perspectives on the topic. Readings will be available through a shared course website called Moodle.
Using Moodle, participants can share articles with other participants, post comments on topic-specific forums, and send messages to other participants.
Participants will be meet on-line once a week for 90 minutes: Sundays (February 12 - May 6) 12PM US Central Time / 5PM Greenwich Mean Time. Upon successful completion of T.E.D., all participants will receive a Certification of Completion from the European Union Center / Center for Global Studies at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. For US particpants, six ISBE-approved CEU's/30 contact hours are available http://www.euc.illinois.edu/TED/TED2012.html
