Twitter in the Classroom: Watch This Teacher Engage Shy Students in Learning History - ... - 1 views

  •  
    " A recent survey of almost 2,000 teachers found that half think that using Twitter (and Facebook) in the classroom "is harmful to the learning experience." But, Los Angeles history teacher Enrique Legaspi disagrees with the naysayers. Last year he went to a workshop that discussed ways to use Twitter in teaching and now his students-even the shy ones-at Hollenbeck Middle School in East L.A. are speaking up more."

Georgia Tech Invokes FERPA, Cripples School's Wikis - 0 views

  •  
    Does FERPA ban schools from allowing students to post their schoolwork on the open Web? Yesterday, Georgia Tech deleted all student history and participation from the school's "Swikis," the wikis that students use for their coursework. Georgia Tech has been using wikis for this purpose since 1997, pioneering the usage of the collaborative tools for undergraduate education. One of the features of the school's wikis was that they allowed for cross-course and cross-semester communication. You could, should you choose, remain in a wiki for a class you'd taken previously, for example.

Free Video Clips - Streaming Online Videos - EncycloMedia - 0 views

  •  
    Encyclomedia is a free site that contains a huge variety of videos on history, science, nature, people, travel, entertainment and much more. They have designed it as an online video encyclopedia with descriptions and information about each video. You can browse by category or search for different videos. There are a bunch of popup/linked ads, but they have to keep the site running somehow.

School chooses Kindle; are libraries for the history 'books'? - USATODAY.com - 1 views

  •  
    I don't think the Kindle is the panacea of access as this article suggests - some healthy collection development in prior years may have made the device less of a "savior" for research. "We have to work with what we have" is a cop-out, in my opinion. What do you think?
