Infographic-style simplified conceptual flowchart of "how the internet works"

Subtweeting requires a level of facility with Twitter that is beyond some novice users, but the truly mean-spirited subtweet can be a destructive force. It should be understood by teachers and parents in order to protect students if for no other reason.

A deceptively simple set of questions school administrators (or any engaged stakeholder!) can use to evaluate the purpose and effectiveness of educational technology implementations. Influenced by the work of Marc Prensky and somewhat consistent with Welliver's Instructional Transformation model.

Remarkably open-and-honest but nonetheless chilling tale of personal online identity hacking and potential reputation spoiling. A well-written, engaging read!

Video recording of a big picture, well-executed presentation on digital storytelling by digital humanist Dr. Bryan Alexander given at Case Western Reserve University.

Visual illustration of the progression from online profile through identity to reputation and finally culminating in trust.

A compilation of resources related to "Fair Use" of video and other multimedia online based upon US copyright law. Beware: There are few (if any) absolute statements.

A superb example of "remixing" for popular culture content. While not, obviously, licensed for remixing (via Creative Commons or alternative), this parody (consistent with fair use of copyrighted materials) still showcases tactics involved in remixing (e.g., excerpting, re-sequencing, adding content elements) in a way that creates a new work from the old.

A 47 page annotated, categorized list of (mainly) free online tools to support technology integration into the K12 classroom leading to blended learning.

Cool stories of "amazing unexpected outcome from something shared online." What does this say about Connectivism, networked learning, connected learning, or the power of the web for facilitating interactions and empowering learning? Tell your own story at: http://bit.ly/145BUTI

A fantastic resource for supporting the use of productivity software (mainly Microsoft tools) with step-by-step instructions customized for each operating system and in multiple languages. Great for helping students and parents, especially in ESL contexts.

A high level discussion of issues involved in school districts using cloud-based services systemically. Beyond the technical issues, of chief concern is restricting access to student data.

The Tennessee Board of Regents sponsors a project in "Mobilization & Emerging Technology" including the "Mobile Apps Resource Bank." Tens of thousands of mobile apps are categorized by educational function. Know a great app that isn't in the resource bank? You can add it for consideration/peer review!

An intriguing beta release which allows you to log the Creative Commons-licensed images you've obtained from Flickr. While Creative Commons licenses are non-revocable, some have grown concerned that a copyright holder might change the CC status of images displayed on Flickr and fear that the burden of proof would then fall to themselves as the "user" of the image(s). This tool would seem to address that problem.

An indicting, thought provoking series of questions from a hypothetical student to each of us.

A very practical explanation of finding images that one is free to use via Creative Commons licenses via the image sharing site Flickr. Also included are concrete summaries of each specific license type. The author mistakenly refers to CC-licensed images as "non-copyrighted," but this is not accurate technically. A copyright owner may choose to license her work for reuse/remixing, but in doing so, she does not give up her copyright. Creative Commons exists with copyright not as an alternative to it.

Substantive but focused overview of rubric creation and implementation process by the Teaching, Learning, and Technology Group. This overview page includes a series of brief examples/non-examples.

The State of Florida's Department of Education has an overall plan for the implementation of educational technologies in K12 schools. Below the conceptual graphic, you will find a link to the pdf of the complete 52 page document. It is worth a skim to find out how Florida schools' integration of technology compares to that of schools in other countries. There are also a number of resources available to Florida teachers of which you may be unaware.
