The Library of Congress has made available a good assortment of digital recordings, music, speeches, etc. Could come in handy. 

Some interesting information on Diigo and its use as an educational tool.

The course management system (CMS) reinforces the status quo and hinders substantial teaching and learning innovation in higher education. It does so by imposing artificial time limits on learner access to course content and other learners, privileging the role of the instructor at the expense of the learner, and limiting the power of the network effect in the learning process. The open learning network (OLN)-a hybrid of the CMS and the personal learning environment (PLE)-is proposed as an alternative learning technology environment with the potential to leverage the affordances of the Web to dramatically improve learning.

Examples of how social media can be used for 5 types of learning: IOL - Intra-Organisational Learning - how social media can be used to  keep the employees up to date and up to speed on strategic and other internal initiatives and activities FSL - Formal Structured Learning - how educators (teachers, trainers, learning designers) as well as students can use social media within formal education and training GDL - Group Directed Learning - how groups of individuals - teams, projects, study groups etc - can use social media to work and learn together (Note: a "group" could be as small as two people, so coaching and mentoring falls into this category) PDL - Personal Directed Learning - how individuals can use social media to organise and manage their own personal or professional learning ASL - Accidental & Serendipitous Learning - how individuals, by using social media, can learn without consciously realising it (aka incidental or random learning)

Articles of interest to users, teachers, leaders and managers of educational ICT.

A lot of great information on learning with social media. Worth a look.

Some ideas on using Jing in the classroom. Jing is a way to do screen captures (stills and animated), and otherwise add media to what is usually text based chats, etc.

Some interesting things that Google Docs can do...

Henry Jenkins' thoughts on the implications of new media for teaching and learning. I'll try to add more later
