Gulsum mentioned that she is using an interactive timeline (http://www.tiki-toki.com/) as a web-based material to teach tenses. Very nice idea. This is a new timeline I hadn't seen before, which produces a 'mashup' of maps and a time line -- very neat idea. One idea to use with students is to get them to create a short personal history of their family.

The 99U provides actionable insights on productivity, organization, and leadership to help creatives people push ideas forward.

Hmmm...Interesting site. It looks a bit like TEDtalks in terms of the format of the videos (around 15 to 20 minutes in length), but the focus appears to be using social media to help people develop their own creative ideas. The Conference area is an interesting way to share ideas--it seems to have attracted a number of very creative people.

" In it, a Dean at SMU announces his plan to require teachers to "teach naked" by banning computers from his classroom.  (The video above is an interview with Dean Bowen. )  Research cited here includes this nuggett: "59 percent of students in a new survey reported that at least half of their lectures were boring, and that PowerPoint was one of the dullest methods they saw."  No argument here.  Bowen is admirably passionate that classtime be used for more active student learning: questioning, discussing, debating ideas with their professors."

Ideas worth to share

Hi! I discovered how to delete the comment with all the gibberish. You do have to be careful with DIIGO when highlighting with a mouse--especially on a web page, it is easy to accidentally highlight more than you intended.

You might wanna check TED for educational news!

Have you seen http://ed.ted.com/ - there are a number of examples of how TED content has been created especially for educational purposes.

Some inspiring examples of posters (actually more like infographics) about Bloom's Taxonomy. This may give you some ideas for your own posters. BTW...the blogger is a graduate student, and in 2013 published over 1,100 blog posts! That sound like a lot, but it is only four a day...doable if you 'don't have any family responsibilities'. I wouldn't recommend it. ;)

If you share a link to generic site like BLOGGER, it would be a good idea to leave a comment with your bookmark, so your followers know why you added the link.

Good site for various podcasting resources, links to podcasting sites, etc.

If you are really keen on podcasting, this is a good source for ideas and other resources.
