<h2><font color="#008080"><strong>Blogging [David Warlick]</strong></font></h2>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Description</strong>: Blogging is an entirely unimpressive technology. You fill in a web form, press the submit button, and you have updated a web page. We've been doing that for years. What has made blogging so phenomenally special is what people have done with it. What has emerged on the Internet, over the past handful of years is a growing layer of content that can best be described as conversation. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>It's benefits to education are both obvious and subtle. Come to the <em>New Technologies that are Changing Education</em> for more.</p>

<p><font color="#008080"><font color="#008080"><strong>Description</strong>: <font color="#333333" size="2">With over 400 million photographs, Flickr is the largest photo sharing site on the Web. The applications of Flickr imagery to visual literacy instruction in education is wide-ranging, from single image writing projects to mulitple image digital storytelling events. As a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_2.0">Web 2.0</a> tool, Flickr supports social networking tools such as groups, commenting, and RSS. Flickr users also have the capability to apply <a href="http://www.creativecommons.org">Creative Commons licensing</a> to the photos they upload, providing students with the opportunity to understand how online intellectual property rights are applied to original works. Finally, Flickr's open API infrastructure has enabled programmers to tap into the Flickr database of imagery, and develop a huge number of <a href="http://www.quickonlinetips.com/archives/2005/03/great-flickr-tools-collection/">third-party online applications</a> for the creative use of Flickr photograph, further increasing the site's value to educators.</font></font></font></p>

But while we were not watching, a video game culture has emerged -- a way of life and a brand new story- and myth-base for a generation of youngsters. We are starting to pay attention now, and starting to wonder if this video game experience might be a golden opportunity. Are video games learning engines?</font></font></font></font></font></font></p>

</h2>
<p> </p>
<h3><font color="#008080" size="2">Description: In an age where we are digitizing anything and everything, that last bastion of the publishing world is trying to hold fast to its traditional ways. As computing becomes cheaper, and access therefore more ubiquitous, the next logical step will be to obtain digital rather than paper texts. University publishers seem to be more amenable to this idea, with a little over a quarter of the market share being in the digital realm. K-12 is a little slower. There are several issues in play here. (Feel free to add to this list)</font></h3>
<ul>
<li><font color="#008080">The current pricing structure in K-12 is to offer the digital text as an "add-on" dependent upon the purchase of the paper text.</font></li>
<li><font color="#008080">The definition of a digital text is variable and open to interpretation.</font></li>
<li><font color="#008080">Sometimes a text in the hands of every child is a political decision based on what adults want rather than an instructional decision based on what students need.</font></li>

Developed by an actual student at the University of New Mexico using Ruby on Rails. The site uses a login/network similiar to that of facebook, where networks are created solely based on the end of an educational email system such as .edu, or .k12.wi.us, etc... Students use the application to add courses, take notes, and share notes with others in the network. There is an RSS on courses, so if a fellow student in Biology 120 just added some new notes and chose to share them, you will be up to date. The system also allows you to create discussion forums within the courses. An extensive search funtion, recently created notes page, and the ability to browse by year, subject, course, semester, will allow students to access notes from past years/courses quickly.</p>

So many time on school web pages, TC, teachers, and librarians list "useful" links upon links using only text. This leads to students "blind clicking" until the wanted site is found. With a snip of code from snap.com, webmasters can help students get a visual of the sites they might go to before the actually go. Snap was used to add the previews to the links on this site. If for some reason it is bothersome, please let me know, and we can remove the code.</font> </font></font></font></font></font></p>
