  •  
    The emergence of cloud-based applications is causing a shift in the way we think about how we use software and store our files. Because they live on the network, applications in the cloud make it easy to share documents, collaboratively edit, and effectively manage versions.
  •  
    Everything on the Earth's surface has a location that can be expressed with just two coordinates.
  •

    is that eventually it might be able to help people solve very difficult problems by presenting connections between apparently unrelated concepts, individuals, events, or things - connections that it would take many people many years to perceive, but that could become obvious through the kinds of associations made possible by semantic-aware applications.
  •  
    social/semantic web: Semantic-aware tools to help visualize relationships among concepts and ideas are just beginning to emerge, including mashups that not only plot data on graphs or maps, but also emphasize and illustrate conceptual links.

  • Teachers as Researchers
  • experimental teacher
  • one who deliberately, and collaboratively, tests techniques in learning as an active educational researcher, and draws conclusions about best practice from first hand trial and error.

      We rate this a 3.
    • iamlexus iamlexus
       
      How important is engagement anyway?

    • Jeanette von Hollen
       
      Students are not actively engaged.
