This interesting documentary (in four parts) covers a lot of ground – mobile, mapping, augmented reality, and all of that. You should watch it.

This is an interesting background document on the MOOC phenomenon. I find the “stages in online education evolution” particularly interesting. The MOOC instructor is no longer “sage on the stage,” nor “guide on the side,” but “snoop in the group!”
Congratulations FLC Online Educators, winners of the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office 2010 Technology Focus Award!
Skype in the classroom is a free community to help teachers everywhere use Skype to help their students learn. It’s a place for teachers to connect with each other, find partner classes and share inspiration. This is a global initiative that was created in response to the growing number of teachers using Skype in their classrooms.
Check out the Projects section, a clearinghouse for various projects, to get an idea of what other educators are doing with Skype. You can sort by age group and subject area, and even search for guest speakers.
We’ve talked a lot about the boundaries between personal and professional use of social media, so I thought you would find this article interesting:
Those who use their Twitter accounts for both personal and professional purposes often find themselves wondering whether they are damaging their credibility with funny anecdotes or social tweets. According to a study published in the March issue of Learning, Media and Technology, however, the answer to that question is a resounding “no.”
Turns out that humanizing your Twitter presence makes you more credible.
