Not an educational resource for many of you unless you coach football but this is a network that I belong to. I use this to stay connected to a bunch of other football coaches. We upload articles , meet online chant and discuss many different football topics.

Naked Lecturer? I had a look, of course. There were no pictures. Bummer. A while ago, I checked out "The Naked Scientists" podcast and found they all wore white lab coats, just like the rest of them. Life is full of disappointments. I see that "The Naked Lecturer" worked in both the "Further" and "Higher" Education sectors. I'm trying to imagine how to picture that . . . An x-y chart? Perhaps a hot air balloon and a jet plane? Would You Rather: Ride in a hot air balloon or travel in a jet plane? In any case, the resources are very useful, and they are presented in a usable way. Especially the little post-it Notes. Oh, I get it. Use them to cover up the interesting bits. Very cleaver. That's not higher or further, that's just better.

Great concept. His idea that publishing is a higher order thinking skill even than creating and that if students are publishing products and ideas, this will demand great rigour and learning makes a great deal of sense. Highly informative and short and sweet learning video.

Muammar Ghaddafi. Saddam Hussain. Barak Obama. Fukishima. Sub-Prime Lending. What do these topics have in common? They are all important subjects that our students should be learning about, yet they probably don't appear in most textbooks in our classrooms. The moment a textbook rolls off the printing press, it begins to morph into a useless paperweight.

Great article. E-books have so much potential - for increased accessibility, lower costs, portability, currency, etc. etc.

I tried to leave this on the site , not intended for the group.....In order to reach our students, we need to think like "Digital Natives", not "Digital Immigrants" (thank you Marc Prensky). ...i think you have valid points and this can be a useful tool but why use these terms, Natives and Immigrants. I often find these terms can be used negatively and could be percieved as such. Although this may not be your intention saying you are now a Digital Native vs a Digital Immigrant to me sounds , negative. Its just a thought , but i do appreciate your take on text books and the usefulness of utilizing this tool to keep up to date.
