Story from PRI's "The World" radio program

I actually have a contact through my grad program with a gentlemen who works expressly with schools in South Africa that use mobile phones for education. He has been spear-heading a program through Sprint, where they get old refurbished phones for use in South African schools. I guess what I'm saying is, if anyone wants to connect with him or schools down there, let me know, and I'll hook you up :)

I heard about this site on National Public Radio on the way home today (12/28/2009). I do not know how well it will do in educating in the schools, but it looks good to this non-teacher.

This is one of the sites I told you about at "Let's Talk Technology." I think the site has a lot potential for use in schools. The main issue is that the videos are housed on YouTube and many schools are still blocking this site due to the wealth of inappropriate content that is there too... However, students could use the Kahn Academy math videos as tutorials for concepts they didn't understand. Teachers could have substitutes show a video of how to do something that was outside of their comfort level or skillset and learning could continue. Do others have suggestions?
