Someone mutilated an XO laptop in the name of art... or something like it. You can buy the finished result for $26,001 (free shipping!) on ebay (80% goes to the OLPC Foundation). Watch the video to see how the laptop responds to extended exposure to microwave radiation. Anyone else amused/disturbed by the results here?

this article made me wonder about the difference in student motivation between the online an physical classes. people busting their butts to learn in night school for example may be less likely to cheat than the regular full time students, but that doesn't mean night school decreases the likelihood of cheating.

these services are expensive and thus digital barriers are widening
- Sammi Biegler on 18 Sep 09
  
  In America, we have tried to fix this by offering computer access in the schools. We don't have digital cafes offering computer access in many locations- typically it's just WiFi connections. Unfortunately, this means disadvantaged students are forced to complete any computer-based assignments before, during, and after school, while the building is still open.

Now, in the age of Internet 2.0, the web is of no use if only some people have access to it. Perhaps the digital society can help with this - I believe that promoting tele-education in our cities will help these people to get good education.

Hi T561- a bit old, but an international perspective on the inequality of technology access across the globe. This article links in with the TIE list discussions about the One Laptop Per Child effort as well. If we want to use technology to break down international barriers, like Dede's "Microsoft of the future" film, we have to address the issue of accessibility, both across the globe and within our own student population.

This is a pretty good web-based audio editor. This could serve as a good replacement for Audacity or GarageBand. It has some great effects and a good library of sound clips. It operates in much the same way as Audacity of GarageBand, just in your web browser.

I believe it. Having come as close to a controlled study of this as is possible in day-to-day life (taught the same course in classrooms and online), there's definitely a different level of engagement online.

Second Life Sued For Allowing Sale Of Impostor Virtual Goods - 0 views

Linden Research was sued on Tuesday for allegedly hosting a virtual Canal Street on Second Life. This is only tangentially related to the class, but I given that a lot of what we've seen in class covers Second-Life-like environments, I thought it might be good to keep up with what's going on with the actual Second Life.
