I think this is a very interesting point. I was taking a reading class last semester and the teacher asked the class what connections we could make to the story that we read and we all made connections to movies or television. She was shocked by o...
I agree 100%. I left a career in finance to pursue education, because I felt very similar to you. I needed to feel that I was doing something that might create good, or as you put it "add value" to the world.
What a great post! I think sometimes as a teacher you become so consumed by the content that must be covered you forget your primary responsibility, which is to teach. I think all teachers should keep this list or a list that is similar close by t...
This is a very interesting report. It tells a lot about our current school-aged generation and what they know and are capable of achieving. Though many have not gotten too into the educational side of Web 2.0 yet, it seems like there is great pote...

NECC Notes:

Opening Keynote Speaker - James Surowiecki
Mr. Surowiecki gives a compelling opening session as he talks about the power and collective wisdom of crowds. He believes we can arrive at superior decisions by aggregating our collective intelligence in groups.

A basic summary of The Wisdom of Crowds.


What is Web 2.0? And more importantly, where will it go? I am constantly amazed at how much stuff is out there.

So is this the definitive list?

Check out this massive list indexed through a tag cloud and find cool and useful Web 2.0 apps. I can spend hours here finding great resources and learning about all the new Web 2.0 technologys. Share your great finds, thoughts or developments...

What creates a viral message?
Is it necessary to create shock factor or have a gimmick?

With more than 4,716,566 plus one views to the "Will it blend" clip, this is an amazing approach to building a viral view. What was the secret behind the strategy that caused so many to view? Have you found other examples or thought about creating a viral push? Technology and it's application has come a long way. It's not just about uploading videos, keyboarding, PowerPoint in our schools, it's about true innovation and creative thought behind the technology we use and how we create a groundswell.

Great book that speaks to the GROUNDSWELL of it all.

Just spent a full day at EduBlogger Con and was fascinated by the power of the Peeps (both people and twitter friends). Everyone had something to post and I'm sure you'll find it here and on individual's blogs. Great discussions - security, filtering, change, social networks, student engagement, teacher empowerment, Here Comes Everybody, and so much more. Thank you all.
