Good argument for online learning and the use of new teaching methods when using technology.

benefits of online learning: good response to OK's article

Online learning is useful for helping students master a body of declarative (factual) knowledge - for example, to learn basic facts of geography or biology. It also helps provide an environment to simulate procedural knowledge, such as operating the instruments in the cockpit of a plane.

Legal ramifications and licenses for sharing data online.

interesting website that chronicles instructional development; appears to be crowdsourced to some extent. Barbara Bray and Charlotte McGovern are the e-coach team.

If you've ever wanted to spice up your presentation with a free web 2.0 tool, you're in luck. Presentation tool Prezi has just unveiled some new information that may cause you to start thinking about trying it out.

People love to learn by examining visual representations of data. That's been proven time and time again by the popularity of both infographics and Pinterest. So what if you could make your own infographics? What would you make it of? It's actually easier than you think... even if you have zero design skills whatsoever.

Attempt to interest girls in tech careers by Silicon Valley. Interesting in that this is a business decision, not just an altruistic one. Women are not a big factor in the app design field, and it is felt they would design different apps than are currently being produced.

Good career choice for the future

Blog post by Lara Galinsky on Dowser (who's solving what and how), August 6, 2012 "This may sound idealistic but we are already on the way. According to Net Impact's recent Talent Report: What Workers Want in 2012, the Millennial generation wants, and expects, to do good and do well in their paid work. In fact, a majority of students (65 percent) expect to make a difference in the world through their work, and 53 percent would take a 15 percent pay cut to work for an organization whose values matched their own. However, in my experience, too few of these students know the kind of difference they want to make, and how to make it. And that is the real opportunity. In order to harness this generation's desire to create change, we must move away from the antiquated concept of vocation, which emphasizes what's in it for the individual: whether it will sustain their interest or bring them fame or fortune. Instead, we need to help young people start their professional lives by asking questions. What issues, ideas, people, and projects move them deeply? What problems are theirs to own? How can they combine their heads and hearts to address those problems? What is their unique genius and how can it be of use to the world beyond themselves?"
