Recognizing the grave consequences for individual opportunity and more generally for our economy and society, the Carnegie Statway ™and Quantway ™Networked Improvement Communities have embraced an audacious goal-to increase from 5 percent to 50 percent the percentage of students who achieve college math credit within one year of continuous enrollment.

You can see a beta walk through on YouTube, but basically, you sign up, record into your computer's microphone, and make a few manipulations--presto, a song. You can edit chords, the song melody, add instruments, etc. Or you can turn your voice into an instrument! This might be a good tool for musicians, music teachers, and certainly for budding rock stars! Maybe it would be good for unique exercise in a poetry class...the spoken word as song.

Art Daily Tweet (REUTERS/Stefan Wermuth) http://www.artdaily.org/index.asp?int_sec=11&int_new=44618&int_modo=1 High resolution images of famous art work will be available on you laptop! Google has partnered with museums like MoMa- NYC, Freer Gallery of Art- Washington D.C. , Museo Reina Sofia, Madrid - Spain, Museum Kampa, Prague - Czech Republic, National Gallery, London - UK, Palace of Versailles - France, Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam - The Netherlands, The State Hermitage Museum, St Petersburg - Russia, State Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow - Russia, Tate Britain, London - UK * Uffizi Gallery, Florence - Italy and the Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam - The Netherlands. The site features over 1000 images, virtual gallery tours and something called Street View where "users can move around galleries virtually, selecting works of art that interest them and clicking to discover more or diving into the high resolution images, where available." Users can also use the Create and Artwork feature where they can save view of artwork they enjoy and build a collection of their own. I have been to MoMa, Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam, Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam and the Freer Gallery of Art- Washington D.C s I would like to see how these collections are represented and how this new Google tool works.

Audience response system that uses mobile phones, twitter, and the web. Responses are displayed in real-time on gorgeous charts in PowerPoint, Keynote, or web browser.

This was used in a class I took and I found it a fascinating tool to doing a poll or survey for a class. It allows students to use the tech that they generally already use to a great extent - such as responding by text from the phone using a code specific to that poll, responding via twitter, or on the PollEv.com site directly. I haven't integrated this yet into a class, but I can really see potential here after using it in a class

Very useful videos, some long and some shorter, to help build lessons around or to supplement a lesson one has already created. TED Talks is useful as well, but this education version of it offers more potential for use in a class.
