kmlfactbook.org can use either Google Maps or the Google Earth browser plugin to preview the KML files that you create. To switch between the two modes press the 2D Map and 3D Map buttons to the right in the screen. The Preview in Map button will show the selected data-set in the Google Maps or Earth plugin preview window. The Download KML file button will download the same file to be saved locally on your disk or opened in the standalone Google Earth application.

below is a list of the top 7 places to watch great minds in action. What makes these conferences special is both the people they're able to assemble together in one place and that they put videos of the experiences online for everyone to enjoy. What other conferences attract the top minds in the world?

Study Finds That Online Education Beats the Classroom - Bits Blog - NYTimes.com - 0 views

shared by anonymous on 19 Aug 09 - Cached

Some of it was in K-12 settings, but most of the comparative studies were done in colleges and adult continuing-education programs of various kinds, from medical training to the military.

  I think that this fact is VERY important if one is going to draw a conclusion for K12, dont you?

“The study’s major significance lies in demonstrating that online learning today is not just better than nothing — it actually tends to be better than conventional instruction,”
- anonymous on 19 Aug 09
  
  I would agree, as long as we're talking about colleges and adult learners, but I don't think we can naturally draw the same conclusion for k12 where the learners are less intrinsically motivated.

But the report does suggest that online education could be set to expand sharply over the next few years, as evidence mounts of its value.

The real promise of online education, experts say, is providing learning experiences that are more tailored to individual students than is possible in classrooms. That enables more “learning by doing,” which many students find more engaging and useful.

  Yes, if there's enough time to 'cover' all the material that you must, in order to be ready for the PSSA tests.

“People are correct when they say online education will take things out the classroom. But they are wrong, I think, when they assume it will make learning an independent, personal activity. Learning has to occur in a community.
- anonymous on 19 Aug 09
  
  Really? Well, if that's true, THEN can we get the social learning tools like Diigo, unblocked in school? Or, must schools ignore the evidence and continue plodding along in isolation?

I would agree that for colleges and adult learners it might be, but I'm not convinced that the same holds true for K12.

Learning has to occur in a community, eh? If that's true, THEN can we get twitter, skype, Flickr, youtube, Diigo, etc unblocked so we can take advantage of that community?

Free documentaries - many from sources like National Geographic. You can 'snag' the video and embed it in another site or a blog. This would be an advantage to engaging students outside the classroom.
