    I belong to a gooele group on e_portfolios. http://groups.google.com/group/k12eportfolios/topics?pli=1 This site was posted as an example of a middle school using Google for their digital portfolios. As schools become more interested in using these tools, I find it useful to have examples and templates.

  • Here is the kind of literacy that we tried to impart: • Every new technology will bite back. The more powerful its gifts, the more powerfully it can be abused. Look for its costs. • Technologies improve so fast you should postpone getting anything you need until the last second. Get comfortable with the fact that anything you buy is already obsolete. • Before you can master a device, program or invention, it will be superseded; you will always be a beginner. Get good at it. • Be suspicious of any technology that requires walls. If you can fix it, modify it or hack it yourself, that is a good sign. • The proper response to a stupid technology is to make a better one, just as the proper response to a stupid idea is not to outlaw it but to replace it with a better idea. • Every technology is biased by its embedded defaults: what does it assume? • Nobody has any idea of what a new invention will really be good for. The crucial question is, what happens when everyone has one? • The older the technology, the more likely it will continue to be useful. • Find the minimum amount of technology that will maximize your options.

    CoSN PDF's on uses of Web 2.0 for various school constituents. The resources are clear and easy to understand. In addition, there is a toolkit for administrators and other material that supports technology integration and use at school and home.

    Just in case you missed it... the entire issue is dedicated to edtech including the link Daniel posted below. I found the "Does the Digital Classroom Enfeeble the Mind?" article particularly interesting.

    These documents are really good summaries of strategies and digital approaches - maybe useful for educators who are unfamiliar with the strategy and need a short, sharp description.

      I agree!
  • Filmmaker and George Lucas Educational Foundation chairman George Lucas thinks it's time to change "English" class into "Communication" class, where students learn the grammatical rules of graphic arts, film, and music along with English grammar.

  • The defenders of the unfettered Web have their hopes set on HTML5 — the latest version of Web-building code that offers applike flexibility
  • This is seen by many as a battle for the soul of the digital frontier.
  • Since the dawn of the commercial Web, technology has eclipsed content.
  • this is a battle that seemed fought and won — not just toppling newspapers and music labels but also AOL and Prodigy and anyone who built a business on the idea that a curated experience would beat out the flexibility and freedom of the Web.
  • Chaos isn’t a business model. A new breed of media moguls is bringing order — and profits — to the digital world.
  • the top 10 Web sites accounted for 31 percent of US pageviews in 2001, 40 percent in 2006, and about 75 percent in 2010.
  • Within five years, Morgan Stanley projects, the number of users accessing the Net from mobile devices will surpass the number who access it from PCs.
  • For the sake of the optimized experience on mobile devices, users forgo the general-purpose browser.
  • But eventually our tolerance for the delirious chaos of infinite competition finds its limits.
  • Much as we love freedom and choice, we also love things that just work, reliably and seamlessly.
  • about 35 percent of all our media time is now spent on the Web
  • The dark side of network effects is that rich nodes get richer. Metcalfe’s law,
  • which states that the value of a network increases in proportion to the square of connections,
  • We get the Web. It’s part of our life. And we just want to use the services that make our life better.
  • Blame human nature. As much as we intellectually appreciate openness, at the end of the day we favor the easiest path.
  • But eventually our tolerance for the delirious chaos of infinite competition finds its limits.
