This site lists educational games by category. There is no feed for updates (at least, I haven't found one) and games listed vary greatly in quality and educational merit. The site is hard to navigate due to poor design and doesn't seem to update very frequently

Cool Site! What an easy way to see what has been explored and was in the works. It seemed as though Health and Language acquisition were big topics.

Michael Horn, co-author of "Disrupting Class" and Executive Director for Education and the Innosight Institute, has agreed to do a live chat with me and Andrew Barras on Wednesday, September 29. Right now the time is looking like 12Noon EST. This is a great one-on-one interaction opportunity for teachers, education reformers, education administrators and anyone interested in the role that digital learning plays in the delivery of equity to every student in America.

Justin, would be great to post this on the lists you mention.

Sure, can you email me a short little blurb with a few more details-- confirming the time, the medium, the end time, the topic, etc.

Good list of free and pay online language learning resources. See the awards list.

Top 50 iPhone applications for educators and some of them are free.

This is the .gov web site listing PDFs of all current Education policies, research,studies and initiatives.

iPod touch, and most are usable with the iPhone as well, apps listed by subject matter. English, Math, Music...

Pertinent discussion for those of us looking to create educational software

No- the sites I have stumbled upon in the past few years are more like list serves without any real organization. One of my goals at HGSE is to identify or create a site that would do this well.

Allison, how about we create a 'rating' agency for educational products (software, toys, kits etc) the way we think it should work? (We can call it Allison's list, like Angie's list). I am putting up this idea seriously. If there is a need that is not being met, I suppose it is an opportunity.

As mentioned in previous posts- there are a ton of apps out there. It is nice to find curated lists, even if they are a little out of date.

interesting list of benefits college students can obtain from blended learning

Helpful list for getting to know the edtech space (and possible future employers!) 

thanks for posting....amazing how many of these I do not know!

This startup, Clever, has a platform to enable the easy integration of other ed tech into the classroom--it stores student data in a single location. Maybe this will also help track student information as they move up grade levels and enable things like mastery-based learning instead of seat-based? They already have 2000 schools and a waiting list!

Just came across this interesting Learning site, so sharing it with the group. Please scroll down a little and checkout the comprehensive list of items in the Categories section.

The author has updated his list that he made a yr ago. Comparing to that, he has kept the below 4 from last year's list. (apple ipad&other tablet devices, gamification of education (although last year he used the phrase ''gradually taking hold'' for this), student response systems and other synchronous tools, open educational resources).  He seems to be  an advocate of 'flipped classroom' but as mentioned within the article 'Educators Evaluate ''Flipped Classrooms'' posted by Prof Dede on Aug 29th, whether all of these 10 are 'transformative' is a different question. They are 'emerging' though. Some of the new entrants for this year include those everyone else here has been sharing such as free online courses with potential for credentials, BYOD move within classroom and effective data usage in learning settings. To me it seems like he is closely paying attention to the emergence of the last category. 

The technologies that can have the best impact on education are evolving quickly from year to year, and the pace seems to be quickening.

Just one of the many testimonials to the iTooth MATH apps by eduPAD

Here is a list of the top trends in Ed-TEch for 2011. Some of the highlights include Mobile Learning, BYOD, and text-messaging startups.

Here is a highly populated list of open course offerings at various universities on the internet. This is certainly going to be disruptive to the pay-for-learning model of higher education. Some issues: does it make sense to attach some sort of certification of completion? Is it feasible or desirable to offer complete open courses, or would it be better to make the offerings more granular in nature? Should users be able to remix offerings from various courses to create custom courses?

This is fantastic! Thank, Steve.

Here is a list of finalists and winners in a number of different categories from product or service to presentation solutions. This is only the list, but searching on their name will give more information. Pearson's Online Learning Exchange (born from my Science Business Unit) was a finalist for new product or service. Enjoy!

A good collection of eBooks for teachers. This list continues to grow.

A good list for new teachers.

Great list of award winning apps for ESL learners.
