It might be 5 years old, but it still holds true. What has happened since then

I haven't seen these and some may not really be something I'd watch, but many of you are thinkers and I want you to know that this list is there and being circulated. Lots of video for thought. As always, screen before you show anything to students and some of these don't look appropriate for them.

A site that invites world class speakers to share their ideas through video lectures. These follow a similar format to TED lectures. http://ictmagic.wikispaces.com/Video%2C+animation%2C+film+%26+Webcams

Here is an example of a flipped lesson. In this one, "Just how small is an atom" you have the video, then the other materials to the right. This is a public lesson, but you can take it and flip it, make it your own, and make your own private URL for your class. 

A Youtube channel of Ted and Tedx talks for eduation

Interesting to know about how tracking works on the web.

Looks like Mayor Bloomberg needs to watch the Dan Pink ted talk I shared here a couple of days a go. The higher the stakes and the more complex the problem, the worse effect a large monetary incentive has. Be ready for New York cheating scandals. That is a lot of pressure and will also incent teachers to find students that will do better. It also will put the method that they will use to rate people "highly effective" in the spotlight. This is sure to cause some resentment in the ranks. The easy solution is to throw money at it, but they don't realize that it is also the wrong solution if you look at the research on motivation.

Here is the list of Winners and losers from Jane Hart's list. Some new entries: Google+ (debuting the highest at 26), Ted Talks (at 30), and for math teachers - Geogebra.

Imagine the difference if this wish came true!

Dave Eggers is one of the winners of the TED Make a Wish award in 2008. He challenges EVERYONE to get involved - really involved - in a school.

A rather bold take on what the Web will be like 10 years from now.

Blackmore studies memes: patterns that replicate themselves, which sounds very much like the whole process of education to me.
