This is the video that Nicole shared with us that does a nice job explaining the features of Diigo

A cool website where you can create your own game! (Yes, another discovery through LTMS603, but it's very cool!)

This is an article about the use of games in education - it's VERY LONG, but in section 8 there is a summary of the best points. Lisa, David and I are taking LTMS603 about gaming in education and I think this article makes a lot of good arguments for why we should try to use it!

Studies suggest that users of Facebook and MySpace are breaking down along class and racial lines. What do you think?

Lots of links to try out. Additional resources listed at the bottom.

Screencasts of how to use TWINE to build non-linear, Chhose Your Own Adventure story

An example of a non-linear story. The open source application called Twine allows students to make these. Don't you think the younger students, especially, would enjoy making these?

I wonder if this idea of 60 second lectures could take hold in an English or Social Studies class, for example. Watch Charles Bernstein's "What Makes a Poem" clip. Clever. Would this be a good hook with your students?

What do you think? Good food for thought.

Interesting! A textbook fee too! Hmmmm..they may have something there. I think this is a good idea. Would like to see it in place for elementary too. It might get a bit dicey for families who have more than 2 children.

I was talking about the computers, but mentioned textbooks because that was unusual to me.

If this isn't a classic site to define Web 2.0 (Read-Write web) then nothing is. Self organized. Folks just submitted content. (Surprising how few can actually moon walk)

Some people in Belgium, got it goin' on! Interesting video. Like how one frame blended into the next. No Moonwalk here! LOL

A must-watch!

A must-watch! We should talk about this!

Doesn't sound like the feds plan to do anything too soon to advance digital learning in the near future. SAD! What about having grants BEFORE kids drop out of school. Be proactive instead of reactive!

This was shared by Vicki Davis recently. What fun - especially for those who teach middle school children or younger.

Cute. Not sure if I used it correctly. Sigh!
