    I really liked this article, because it seems to honestly address the questions without purporting to know all the answers. A professor friend of mine has calculated the amount of paper he has saved by going to digital testing, and it's significant, but there are the obvious downsides of realizing that some students are able to test well due to quick searching ability rather than because they actually know the subject matter. Careful time limits on the testing may be one partial answer to the problem - if there isn't time to look everything up and still complete the test, at least there's some assurance that some of the answers came straight from the student's knowledge base, but it's not the only or even an ideal answer. Thanks for posting this thought-provoking piece.

    Bernadette, this was a riveting article! As a HS teacher in a school where students are "not allowed to have electronics during the school day" (I put this in quotes because the kids can perform tiny miracles on their phones without ever taking them out of their pockets--or looking at them!), we are constantly plagued with this question. Merri, I like your idea of presenting a timed test, where students have free access to the Internet. In making the transition from paper to digital, there are many sacrifices to be made--perhaps time is one of them? Thanks, ladies!

Second Life Web 2.0

  • The system and revenue model is markedly different from SL, however: instead of fostering user-created content in a single world, Multiverse is a network of worlds accessible by the client software. It comes with e-commerce tools built into the system, so developer’s can earn an income, while Multiverse makes money by taking a 10% cut of that revenue.

    It's simple with the new "AwesomeBar" this is a completely revamped URL bar in firefox 3. it lets you use the URL field of your browser to do a keyword search of your history and bookmarks. No longer do you have to know the domain of the page you're looking for - the AwesomeBar will match what you're typing (even multiple words!) against the URLs, page titles, and tags in your bookmarks and history, returning results sorted by "frecency" (an algorithm combining frequency + recency).

    Firefoxquickly became the favorite browser for most power users. But while extensions are a great way to make Firefox more functional. In January 2000, T-Online asked Oliver Reichenstein, what we'd do if we could design a browser from scratch. The answer was "Tabs". Eight years later Aza Raskin, head of user experience at Mozilla, again asked about the future of new tab. Oliver Reichenstein answer after days of mailing back and forth: "Forget tabs!"

"Right now Android is barely finished for phones," said Avi Greengart, an analyst at Current Analysis. While it works well enough for T-Mobile's G1 smartphone, the software was released only last year and "the UI still feels half-finished," he said.
