    Interesting information on virtual reality.
  •  
    Fascinating study that sounds like it is for just commercial use, but some great information on virtual reality is embedded. I'll be blogging some reflections on this this week.

Tuttle SVC: 2008 Winners: FiveThirtyEight.com - 0 views

  • If I was someone who gave lots of talks at ed-tech conferences about "Web 2.0" and such, I'd definitely add a piece about the success of FiveThirtyEight.com. Since over three and a half million people visited the site last month (beating out established blogs like Talking Points Memo, for example), there is a pretty good chance you've already seen it.

    Read this if you're covering politics and take a look at the fivethrigtyeight.com blog.
  •  
    Tom HOffman shares some of the background story of fivethirtyeight.com - a great story of collaboration and work and how "no names" become somebody with hard work, intelligence, persistence, and a commitment to "do it right" sans an agenda.

OLPC Australian Involvement - 0 views

  •  
    Blog entry from Pia Waugh who was involved in implementing OLPC in Niue.
  •  
    In late July I was very privileged to help roll out the world's first 100% saturation of OLPC XOs to the country of Niue, in the Pacific near New Zealand. There are around 400 students, and every single one got a laptop! I was in charge of the server/wireless infrastructure, and the imaging of the laptops as well as technical training for the people there on the ground.

Computer Science Teacher - Thoughts and Information from Alfred Thompson : Playing Vide... - 0 views

  •  
    Share this with your students who love video games. I love how Alfred shares his thoughts on the transition from gamer to game designer. This is a huge market especially as education moves to gaming platforms as well.
  •  
    This blog post is from one of Microsoft's bloggers and helps students understand what is required to create video games versus just playing them. Fits in well with Flat Classroom.

Teaching virtual communication skills by Bob Dignen - 2 views

  •     Saves on travel costs e.g. conference calls over face-to-face meetings·       Saves time with reduced travel, good for working efficiency and work-life balance·       Brings groups of people together from all over the world who could not normally communicate·       Allows you (email) to manage your time and communicate what you want to when you want to rather than having someone drop into the office and interrupt you·       Enables (email again) higher quality communication with all the facts clearly presented in black and white without emotion in an email - at least potentially·       Increase communication flow and supports social networking and knowledge management in organisations e.g. company blogs and wikis ·       Reduces wasted time (people tend to digress and interrupt less in telephone conferences) in meetings

Ask students to submit an assignment on their cell phone - 0 views

  •  
    ISTE's NECC09 Blog Wes Fryer Cell phones can be used in powerful ways by students and teachers as assessment tools. Most teachers are familiar and comfortable asking students to submit written work to assess their learning, but are likely much less experienced asking students to submit multimedia files as assignments. This needs to change. As teachers, we need to invite students to regularly "show what they know" not only with written texts, worksheets, and multiple-choice examinations, but also with multimedia software as well as websites which permit students to record their voices and use visual images to communicate messages.

danieltenner.com - What problems does Google Wave solve? - 1 views

  •  
    Excellent article on what Google wave is intended to be: a step up from email to allow for document collaboration. OK, now I finally get it. Seeing people talk about it replacing twitter, etc. I was like "nah - not with THIS" but seeing this blog post made the light go on - a must read for those who want to truly understand what google wave is for and to not get so hyper about what it isn't.
  •  
    Important NEW technology for workflow software group and virtual communications. This would make a GREAT topic of video and perhaps we could try to get some invites for students to test out.

Miller's "The World is Flat" Reflective Blog Post - Flat Classroom Project - 1 views

  •  
    Excellent overview of Thomas Friedman's lecture at MIT which gives essential information on the history of globalization as written by a tenth grader. This is excellent writing and a nice overview of what he says in the fifty minute video. (She also embedded the video.) Excellent work. Miller also writes for Terry Freedman out of the UK, in a column called "Ask Miller" and I think her writing skills have been honed and improved as she has written for Terry as a ninth grader. She is a product also of the flat world as she has worked to write in a Google Doc for a person across the Atlantic Ocean!
