– Google continues to hit home runs… they added magazine content today to Google Book Search… this is great news for researchers!! Another source…

Of course, that means there is more information out there to comb through, but that is what the digital age is all about!

– This is a great video that really shows how a student today can use web 2.0 tools to learn! Great points about social networks, iTunesU, blogs, wiki’s, and the role of teachers!

– I don’t know if I have shared this yet, but I came across it again today. Great YouTube video about the world today… lots of stats that are good to get you thinking about a global educational society. (About 8 minutes long)

– The TED talks are some of the most thoughtful and stimulating I have ever seen… and now they are available on an iPhone app! Awesome!

– Wow… this is great! This is an article about students that were using Lively (Google’s virtual rooms) that are protesting their decision to shut it down.

This also points out one of the dangers of using open source/free software. You are at the will of those that are providing that software.

The students have really done a lot of good work here… they should be congratulated… but if nothing else, they will learn even more real life lessons from this experience!

– This looks like a great resource for those trying to get into OneNote more and figure out how to organize their lives!

– A widget as a teaching tool… great article that introduces widgets and the possibility of using them to augment the classroom.

– Another great online resource for research! I love Footnote!

– I’m not sure if this would make it more feasible for a school wide adoption… but it is certainly a step in the right direction. If nothing else, this would mean even MORE students would have iPhones on campus…

– Great follow up to the discussion about Boston College not giving their students their own email accounts when they come on campus. Lots of good question/answer format!!

– Great online journal to subscribe to! They just released a new issue about virtual environments and games for learning! Good stuff!

– I saw this yesterday, but I didn’t post about it. I think that this is exactly what a netbook should be. Something that enables (forces) the users to do all their computing online. It is saved online, and collaboration is easy! We do it already… why pay for more?

– I’m always game for a free Christmas Story!!

– Wow… this just look cool! Talk about using the collaborative power of the web! Awesome!

– All teachers should watch this video so they understand what Creative Commons is all about! [About 3 minutes long]
