I've used other prohibitively expensive online meeting software and this beats their pants off in ease of use/price/features.

This is a fun, cute, social 3D island world designed especially with children in mind. Children make an avatar and follow a quick tutorial and explanation of safety rules. The children can take their characters on quests, play educational games and interact with other users of the site. A fabulous feature of the site is that users are encouraged to 'make and do' offline as well. These activities can be uploaded to a scrapbook and multimedia blog. Offline activities also generate points in the game. The scrapbook is defaulted to private and no photos of children will be approved by moderators if the scrapbook is public. All the usual safety features are in place, including a 'report' and 'block' other users button. The basic account with most features is free, but there are optional 'paid for' extras.

I cannot get enough of the new add-on features in Google Docs and Spreadsheets. Granted, they are just re-engineered scripts from the gallery, but this feature how now made them so much easier to find and configure. If you're not excited by this, you're not using GAFE!
A four slide introduction to diigo as a research tool. This does good job of explaining the concept of social bookmarking while highlighting various features of diigo.
I've found that many struggle to grasp the foundation concept of social bookmarking. I think this overview will help answer basic questions for many new users.
Of particular use to me as an online teacher is this slide style orientation that can be used to introduce someone to diigo as part of the account creation process. (The slides end with a sign up button.)
If you're a new diigo user, this orientation will point out new features and put things in context. If you haven't yet tried Diigo, this is the way to get started.

A long-standing idea that human languages share universal features that are dictated by human brain structure has been cast into doubt.
A study reported in Nature has borrowed methods from evolutionary biology to trace the development of grammar in several language families.
The results suggest that features shared across language families evolved independently in each lineage.
The authors say cultural evolution, not the brain, drives language development.
I'm a big proponent of Google Apps, but the accessibility issues do give me pause. I wonder, though, are all the features that are discussed in the article available via offline/local software packages? Does that mean the majority must be limited to those features that are also available to the blind? Big questions.

We have carefully selected and screened each website for quality and provide a paragraph annotation that summarizes the site's content, notes its strengths and weaknesses, and emphasizes its utility for teachers.
