This post has dual significance. First, the actual post is by a humanities anthropologist interested in technology. Second, she is posting about the recent Drumbeat conference from Mozilla, the maker of firefox. The content of the post is significant because they are truly looking at proactively protecting the web for the purpose of innovation and learning.

The Building Learning Communities Conference (Alan November's Project) has a number of great videos. For you fans of the Kansas State University Professor Michael Wesch, here is one of his 2010 presentations. Wesch presented at the fall WASDA conference in 2009. It was awesome.

shared by Bradford Saron on 06 Nov 10 - No Cached

During the Great Recession, employment dropped much less steeply among college-educated workers than other workers.

  I wonder what's the subtext of this finding? We all know that non-metropolitan areas are more exposed to economic turndowns and recessions.

I love this type of information. Note that the panel of "experts" on determining what the most livable cities exhibit as successful characteristics includes two education experts, one of which will be presenting at the WASB convention in January. Looks like anyone can sign up for the event on 11/11/2010 (3:00 central time?) Note that Richard Florida (who wrote Rise of the Creative Class) is also a panelist.

Ok, this is all from Cisco, but some of it is really valuable. The whitepaper on Education 3.0 is very interesting. Additionally, the link below is a recent screencast on Education 3.0. You will have to go through a bit of a "sign up" type screen before getting access to the Cisco screencast, but I recommend it. The superintendent from NY who follows the Cisco rep is really good. https://ciscosales.webex.com/ciscosales/lsr.php?AT=pb&SP=EC&rID=47315262&rKey=fb74b1bb0a6e38ec

Doug Reeves has been on a bit of a writing binge on the topic of leadership, specifically writing for the American School Board Journal on district administrative issues. I especially like the one on assessment for superintendents. Scroll down to the "leadership" section, where you will find a number of articles written in 2010.
