An overview and review of teacher tube vs. Youtube -- I think there are some very good points here -- and why don't schools just unblock youtube? I think this is a great overview and has made me think about a few things about TeacherTube, I haven't gotten before.

This is an example of how video sharing sites like youtube are playing a role in the current US political election. This Hilliary Clinton video is going through youtube and the evening news as well.

This youtube video explains the "deal" with Diigo and how it can be used. This is excellent for researchers and educators. (You could even use this for grading!)

Tubesock lets you download Youtube and Daily motion videos from the web and saves them to your video iPod, Mac, or pLaystation portable. This is cool.

fantastic experiment not sure if the title of the article is justified in the text. Biggest complaint seems to be loss of control and authority. hmmm "Students having their classroom ideas judged not simply by their peers but by a far wider audience" and that is a bad thing because...?

Looking at the safety aspect of humans with machines is important.

Responsible use of electronic devices is going to become increasingly important because today cell phone is a distraction --- tomorrow it will be in car movies or gps devices. It is the behavior that is the problem and proper focus on real life has to be something we emphasize as we discuss the proper relationship of humans with "gadgets."

This mathematicious video took a long time to make. I love it! Math teachers will love this. This is something for the horizon project student to review. This is Funny but it is an example of how videos can be made on any topic -- a math teacher could have students see how many of these terms they recognize.

Business people and management should read this article about the transformation of business by using workplace communities. "Workplace communities are designed to solve workplace-related challenges" -- they focus on tasks. I would find it interesting to see a business REALLY use technology to change things. Having the business in a business network (OK a NING) and let people tag their posts with the business related PROBLEMS they are having and blog, video, or photograph it-- the tag cloud would tell the business IMMEDIATELY what the problems are in the company. The problem with this model is that there are few corporate executives who REALLY want to know the problems within their organizations. They don't want to be problem solvers, just opportunity creators. However, when managers open their eyes (and I'm a former General Manager myself) and see that two things give business opportunity: problem solving and innovation. And they are directly related. True innovation solves problems. Read this article and think about how you may solve problems using the networks you may now create. If you don't want everyone to know, keep it private and only allow people in your company in.

Important article about why businesses need to change.
