      But is this just the habits of centuries of paper books? Are equivalent ways of exploring text developing for ebooks? Evernote and LiveScribe are interesting.

      What about search? And the bar that shows how far along you are in a book?

    Our music, our culture, our science, and our economic welfare all depend on a delicate balance between those ideas that are controlled and those that are free, between intellectual property and the public domain. In The Public Domain: Enclosing the Commons of the Mind (Yale University Press) James Boyle introduces readers to the idea of the public domain and describes how it is being tragically eroded by our current copyright, patent, and trademark laws. In a series of fascinating case studies, Boyle explains why gene sequences, basic business ideas and pairs of musical notes are now owned, why jazz might be illegal if it were invented today, why most of 20th century culture is legally unavailable to us, and why today's policies would probably have smothered the World Wide Web at its inception. Appropriately given its theme, the book will be sold commercially but also made available online for free under a Creative Commons license.

    The beginning stages of our new Cub Run Elementary Web Site. I'm working on the link for our Library Media Center site currently. I love the language choices on the right hand side.

    An excellent read for teachers and anyone who is interested in design or information architecture. A few myspace users and bloggers could stand to read this. Simplicity by design.

    The essntial problem," Robinson writes, "is that many governments and organizations seem to think that the best way to prepare for the future is to do better what we did in the past - just to do more of it and to a higher standard. The fact is we have to do something else." The implications of this for education and, specifically, teacher development, are important to consider. What exactly is this "something else" that we should be doing in our schools?
