Technology is now being implemented in classrooms around the globe. Both traditional and online schools have discovered how effective it is to blend technology with instruction. However, this effort can prove to be very expensive. Thanks to open source software, which is freely available to anyone, teachers can use many educational tools without worrying about insurmountable costs.

This was a difficult newsletter to write this week because I am torn. This week there was one item in the news that created a "Wow, that is so cool." and an "Oh my gosh, that is so scary." moment for me. So, my questions for you this week are: 1. How do you feel about a computer winning against humans in an intellectual game like Jeopardy? 2. What do you think this technology will mean for teaching and learning during your lifetime?

Why Free Software has poor usability, and how to improve it (Matthew Paul Thomas) - 0 views
-
When I wrote the first version of this article six years ago, I called it "Why Free Software usability tends to suck". The best open source applications and operating systems are more usable now than they were then.

Asking students to discuss their classes in a very public forum has got to raise concerns for some people as well. Rankin says participation isn't required, but it's because of these kinds of concerns that private, education focused services like EdModo have a market. That closed communication comes at the expense of public knowledge sharing, but classroom innovators may not be able to have it both ways in the long term.
