I chose to post this video of some compelling technology that is under development. These kinds of things intrigue me. How can we truly know what the world will look like 20 years from now. The path we are on, and the speed we are traveling it, is mind-boggling.

This article argues that mobile computing is making learning personal and informal. Sure beats impersonal and formal.

This article is a call to action for considering the vast resources in iTunes U. There is also a good link to itWeekly which includes podcasts on lesson ideas ranging from geotagging to eportofolios. I've have very little experience exploring and working with iTunes U. I plan to explore further.

Librarians have been called by many titles but this article pens a new one to me - innobrarian. It might grow on me, or not. Reflect on the degree to which you and you librarian might be on the same page as change agents in your setting. Here is the direct quote from the article ;Not only can we be innovators ourselves, but in doing so, we can support the dreamers, the players, and the innovators in the building, both students and teachers. We can help them embrace their creative ideas, harness them for the classroom, bring in supporting materials, and provide that open-minded partner that innovators need. Libraries can become the places to "seed" new ideas that can spread throughout our campuses. Our role provides us with tremendous flexibility to self-define what we want to be for our campuses." Note to self - figure our how to link words so that "new technologies" and "change agents" aren't separated. Yay, one task done. Whoops, how to now tag it with Mat622???

Very accessible language that can be used in our discussion of 'transformation" The author pushes us to go beyond drill, practice, and be more mindful ofhow we are using technology.

the author gives us some very accessible language and examples of using technology well. Applied to mobile tools, could this help us add to our definition of transforming language

The most jaw-dropping educational apps available focus on the hard sciences. It's simply impossible not to understand the properties of mercury better when looking at it in 3-D using an app like "The Elements."
