Infographic on Google Search Skills. Very informative!

A movable scale that goes from very, very small to universe. A sliding scale that allows you to investigate. 

Student site for Global Climate Change information from EPA

Interesting article from Britain regarding computational fluency. I don't disagree that being fluent with computation increases a students future capabilities, but there is not necessarily causal effect that 'traditional' approaches to teaching computation make stronger mathematics students. It's the rigorous approach that I think needs to be emphasized. 

Ramsay Musallam's flipped classroom tutorial website. I like his methodology and design. Worth reading. 

Discussion of the idea of the flipped classroom. Doesn't just introduce one approach but a variety of well thought out options, and how some schools are scaling the model. Musallam is worth reading.  I do have concerns that Hooper's videos are 25-30 minutes long in his model. I think he's missing the point as far as chunking information in smaller components and letting students interact with the content.  Not a perfect model but it is an innovation, and both teachers do a much better job of using key vocabulary well, introducing multiple representations intentionally and connected, and providing guides for students. Much better than I think Khan does in his videos. 

Compilation of articles about how people think and construct meaning. A nice collection if looking to start creating support for rational why you want to do something and want some research/support. 

Nice description of one way of developing an online/blended course model. I applaud Stacey's choice to do it, tweak later, rather than postpone doing it because it's "not 100% ready". 

Jeb Bush, Melinda Gates, Sal Khan and the Coming Digital Learning Battle

The Power of Google unleashed against Blackboard, but will Google stay with the system or give up like they have on so many other initiatives? Pearson and Google Education have considerable swag and could make a system that is flexible, powerful, and (it won't take much) more efficient/intuitive than Blackboard

Very interesting digital book interface.

A curriculum designed to incorporate multi-media in student presentations. 

The Nielsen report on internet use and social networking/blogging. Blogging/social networking is still the number one destination online, followed closely by gaming. It's interesting the populations that are growing, and the massive growth of mobile! 

Great site with lots of different ways of studying histology, physiology, anatomy. 

Interesting new tool for creating theme magazines by gathering information from the web. Themeefy is a free service that lets you discover and curate knowledge from the Web, publish it in the form of a magazine and share it with your social networks.This is a private beta release, so things might break sometimes! 

Easy to use and create comics. 

Interesting image zooming tool from Microsoft. Doesn't do much other than create a zoomable image that can be embedded in other sites. If you have big/high quality images then this might be a very valuable tool, but if you are taking and using lesser quality, it's not worth the effort. 

Many Eyes is a data visualization platform designed by IBM and provided for free. Since it's IBM it should remain fairly stable and free for a long while. 

Great new site for creating flipbooks. Students can create their own or teachers can create them for students to read and take notes.
