    This article is about figuring out what is the most environmentally friendly way to present something to a group of people. It is comparing a big projector, small projector, laptop, tablet/iPad, or hanging out sheets of paper. In the end which method you use depends on how many people you are presenting to. In some cases tablets are more energy efficient than a large projector or paper. It all depends on the audience size.

    iPads could help you leave a smaller carbon footprint. The production of an iPad mini has the smallest amount of carbon emission when compared to an iPad 4, air 13", pro 15", iMac 27", and Mac Pro. Also, iPad minis use much less electricity to run. Also, small tablets can help to reduce your media footprint if you do things like download books onto your iPad instead of having a hard copy.

    LAK 14 stands for Learning Analytics and Knowledge (Conference) 2014. This is the fourth year of the conference, and I think a lot of data can come from this site. See the "Live Blogs and Notes" page for more information about the conference via blogs written as it occurred.

    Virtual and remote laboratories (VRLs) are e-learning resources that enhance the accessibility of experimental setups providing a distance teaching framework which meets the student's hands-on learning needs. In addition, online collaborative communication represents a practical and a constructivist method to transmit the knowledge and experience from the teacher to students, overcoming physical distance and isolation.

    Many people complain that renting computer power from Amazon and other cloud companies is too expensive. I found this site useful because it discusses how the cloud can be made cheaper for the use of everyone.Cloud prices have been lowered 6 to 8 percent annually, he says, whereas as hardware costs have plummeted 30 to 45 percent.

    Education is no longer just pencils and paper inside a brick and mortar classroom. It's using a search engine to define vocabulary words; it's watching a YouTube video to understand the scientific method; it's taking mobile phone photos on a field trip to use in a report.

    This article mentions that while some people say that 3D printing saves on transportation, it costs a lot for the electricity to heat the materials. It focuses on metal 3D printing which requires a much higher base temperature for the material to melt.
