This is a website that allows users to find videos from which children (3-18) can learn. All videos are hosted by other sites like YouTube, but content is approved and moderated separately. Comments and discussions are separate from the comments on the original post (i.e. WatchKnow comments do not get added to YouTube and YouTube comments do not appear on WatchKnow). There is heavy emphasis on transparent, widespread monitoring of content. This is accomplished in ways very reminiscent of Wikipedia's moderation methods. Right now, the site has a good number of videos, but lacks a rich community of active users. This means that it is harder to locate quality videos since few users have rated and discussed content.

This website is very similar to an idea I've been brewing for a while (though I believe this site is missing some of the more promising features). I was pleasantly surprised to see professor Dede's name on the Advisory Committee.

"All schools can now use the YouTube educational video site, youtube.com/education, without having to jump over Internet filtering hurdles."

Here's video examples of some of the MIND Institute's games... I'm not sure how the reveal of locations behind the iPad really come into play... SURELY they could have come up with more functional examples that relate content to real life?

Can you think of more functional & relative locations to showcase?

The quality of the graphics on this mobile phone game struck me; definitely very engaging and holds promise for educational apps?

This is what some very talented current students at HGSE are working on. It's a solid plan, with a talented and diverse team of educators and media producers. And it's taking off! So heads up everyone. This is part of the next phase of your plan too ;-) Just look at the production value!

TEP11 grad here. Now a math teacher in a Title 1 school. Interested. I follow this Diigo feed (since when I took this useful class) so saw the video just now ... edutainment.com not working yet :-( I wanted to see more. Fyi, here's a rare example of a math video my students "tolerated" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7MxGyEaN64

"But it's become a serious problem. When we don't control our email habit, we are controlled by it. " - somewhat related to the YouTube by dr. Sherry Turkle. I read this article when it was published (working life totally controlled by email I must say).. and sadly I am still addicted...

Truly great discussion with some great minds all focused on not simply how to reform education, but how to look at a real transformation of what it means to educate in the 21st Century.
