GROWING UP DIGITAL

Thu, 17 Dec 2009 02:07:59 -0000

The content and technology are continually changing. This article reminds us that learners are also changing. For the past decade, faculty who won awards for teaching expressed concern that they could no longer hold the attention of their students. John Seely Brown, Chief Scientist at Xerox and director of its Palo Alto Research Center, hired 15 year olds to design future work environments and learning environments. He observed that the students did not conform to the traditional image of learners as permissive sponges. It requires us to rethink and redesign education for the Digital Age.

Using Multimedia Tools to Help Students Learn

Thu, 10 Dec 2009 21:03:35 -0000

Climate Change - News - Environment (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

Thu, 10 Dec 2009 06:54:37 -0000

This is a great interactive from the ABC that tracks back through history to look at a range of factors that may or may not play a part in climate change including human population, industrial landmarks and geological changes. As well as looking backward through time it also offers 4 scenarios for the future none of which are terribly optimistic.
