A very interesting way to engage individuals on a personal level via video. It startled me the first time around (see :56). I wonder how quickly the novelty of providing subtle dynamic elements to video would wear off, but if done properly, might have a place in a nonformal educational setting for children ... a new type of personalized learning experience. Ah, and I may have altered the web link a bit to make it a bit more appropriate for our class :)

Could this be better than a wiki for collaboration?

As prices fall, technology has more potential to be used in the classroom.  

In order to get around the clunkiness of the LMS my school uses I am always looking for tools like this one. The problem with doing this is that sometimes they cost money, they usually expose students to advertising (which I think is an ethical issue when you're dealing with a captured audience), and they all require a time commitment to familiarize myself and my students. I'm not sure what it is about systems like Blackboard (which charges incredible amounts of money) that hamper its visual appeal and design for intuitive use.

This is an "K-12 education technology market map with the entrepreneurial, philanthropic, and education communities". Worth to take a look.

oh wow thanks for sharing....nice visual of what areas are more saturated....and where needs are.

This is an awesome resource. This would be great for curriculum specialists and technology coordinators in schools to draw from, and even teachers to be introduced to in PD...
