Some thoughts

The Ze Frank vid at the bottom of this piece is interesting!

"The tools in this Directory fall within 12 categories that support both formal education and training and informal learning"

Now here is an interesting thought! I wonder if this will come to pass as soon as they think. Remember, education here moves at the speed of molasses!

Debatepedia is "the Wikipedia of pros and cons". Its mission is to "clarify public debates and improve decision-making globally". Debatepedia is a project of the International Debate Education Association (IDEA), a 501c3 non-profit. It utilizes the same wiki technology powering Wikipedia to engage you and other citizen-editors in clarifying public debates by centralizing them into a single pro/con encyclopedia. This helps you, other citizens, and leaders better weigh ALL the pros and cons, develop positions, and make more informed decisions, votes, etc... And this significantly improves democracy and people's lives.

This is from the Debatabase people at http://www.idebate.org/ Another GREAT debate resource.

Common Sense Media is dedicated to improving the lives of kids and families by providing the trustworthy information, education, and independent voice they need to thrive in a world of media and technology.

"In a digitally-charged learning environment, the key is to turn up the H.E.A.T. on student learning. H.E.A.T. is an acronym that is synonymous with digital-age learning (i.e., 21st Century Skills) and represents Student Output in terms of student: Higher order thinking, Engaged learning, Authentic connections, and Technology use."

Great resource to help plan your lessons for a more digital age
