    I discovered this site from the ICE conference and started clicking on several of the sites with my son (age 6). Most of them have been successful, engaging experiences for him. A few are are intended for elementary instructors.

    I want to try this project - or at least a version of it. Seems to be ripe with possibilities for incorporating a multitude of 2.0 tools (audacity, voicethread) and hardware (MP3 players, cell phones, etc.)

    Watch the trailer for this documentary. These kids force us to question some basic assumptions we might have about the nature of knowledge and learning. My initial reaction was that this was a hippy school with its steeple stuck in the clouds, but after watching the trailer I feel angry what my own educational experience neglected and guilty for what I'm denying my students.

    Decent ERIC article on the use of voice recognition software for students with learning disabilities. I have felt for some time that as the software improves with ease of use and accuracy, more and more students may choose to compose their traditional academic essays using VRS.

    My department is considering using this software - primarily for its ability to ensure originality in compositions, but I'm also fascinated how it can be used to track progress, supply paperless feedback, and nurture collaboration.

    Very cool site which allows you to upload data, text, spreadsheets, stats, etc. and visually present them in a new and different way - a way which "democratizes" data analysis so it is more social and collaborative in nature. The result allows us to detect new patterns in the information. It can be a way to jumpstart discussion and insight.

    This issue is a bit of an obsession of mine -- but this is one of the best (and most concise) articles about the potential cultural and educational consequences of replacing books with e readers like the kindle.

    To mix cliches, the people who contribute to this blog seem ahead of the curve in terms of what's coming down the pipeline for different uses and applications of a wide variety of technologies (data visualization, media art, environmentally friendly tech, toys and learning, entrepreneurship, etc.)

    An overview of siftables, dominoe-sized mini-computers which interact with each other. The idea seems ripe for instructional use. I actually had my students practice persuasion by presenting practical applications (and a marketing plan) for them.

    Chris Lehman is the principal of the Science Leadership Academy in Philadelphia - basically my dream school to work at. This site is his blog; he will challenge you as an educator, and he always seems ahead of the curve in terms of big ideas and practical applications of tech.

    Oxford professor of synaptic pharmacology (?!) argues that facebook and social networking sites infantilizes the brain, leaving us with short attention spans, less empathy, and a "shaky sense of identity". Listen to the audio interview as well.

    Funny and disturbing article on "Freedom", a free download developed by PhD student that allows users to force themselves to disconnect from the internet for an amount of time of their choosing. Traister ruminates how staying connected negatively affects our productivity. Luddites of the world unit.

    This brilliant podcast would serve as a perfect model for completing non-traditional research projects. Specifically, I recommend the episodes on race and choice.
