Illustration explaining how Google works.

I've written previously on how your resume is meaningless, on building career security, not job security and on the rise of personal branding.  To summarize the overarching themes of those three posts quickly: Your work should be working for you, building your reputation, not locked away in a resume. A resume proves nothing, a living case study proves everything. Creating a name for yourself in your industry provides you the ultimate freedom:  career security. The tools exist for you to influence your industry in deep ways to make positive change and carve out a name for yourself. Building your personal network enables incredible connections with the world around you not previously possible. A blog is the ideal avenue to accomplish all of this and so much more.

When an educator posts a project, our system will help them get the resources needed to bring that project to fruition.

Welcome to our class wiki! I am excited about using the bookshelves you built in Shelfari as a springboard for discussing books and reading. I love working with all of you, and I look forward to using this wiki as a tool to help us grow as readers and thinkers.

rPad EtherPad is the only web-based word processor that allows people to work together in really real-time.

a good example of why we should not depend on wikipedia; the information in this article covers very little of the work of JI Rodale, his son and family; Others consider this article biased because of its assumption that organic farming is superior to conventional farming (whatever conventional means)
