A good review of the new Chromebook, that pretty much echoes my concerns. There is an interesting idea hidden in this article - renting Chromebooks to students for $20 a month.

Interesting - and not sure if this is good or bad news for those that would like to see Blackboard go in a different direction.

Looks like mobile devices are also catching on in K12. The great thing is that schools are starting to take the digital divide seriously. Make sure you consider accessibility issues, and maybe we will start to truly see a mobile revelation in learning.

Interesting look at where cloud computing is making inroads into K-12. Also looks at processes and questions some school districts went through.

Interesting and innovative way to save money. Now imagine combining this with cloud computing. This is the way to get trends to catch on - show how they can practically save money :)

A much better option if you ask me - make a computer that can run both Chrome OS AND Windows.

With the release of the Chromebook upon us, here is a way to get your own set-up.

A world map of newspapers? Could be great for tracking current events on a global scale in many different classes.

You have to wonder if stuff like this is going to become the e-portfolio of tomorrow. Or may the Linkedin version of this?

Facebook is always in hot water for privacy issues. But educators that want to use social networks (especially Facebook) in teaching should take note of these issues.

This part 2 - a great guide for how to use your Personal Learning Network.
to edugeekjournal bpnsoundings ... 2011-06-08
A good article about setting up your Personal Learning Network. Part 2 will deal with how to use your PLN.

This is a much better way to look at digital natives. You are native if it is native to you, not if you were born after a certain date.

Another nail in the coffin of the whole "digital native" debacle. Research is a good thing, even if it doesn't prove your flashy presentation point.

Strange how Windows products are starting to look more open and flexible than Apple products. Sounds like you can have a full computer on a Tablet Pad. A much better idea than the iPad in many ways.

The online world continues to mash-up with the real world. Add a website to a physical location for the ultimate mash-up.

Good insight, and more balanced than the title initially suggests. But still calling for change and revolution.

I really like it when people just dream about what could happen - even if it is on a small scale like this. I would love apps like this, too.

Another look at something else that might cause us to change what we have in our curriculum. Technology is not only changing how we teach, but what we teach as well.

This is the official Twitter blog that tells more about the @anywhere service (see my last bookmark). Still not totally clear how it works, but sounds interesting for now at least.
to bpnsoundings edugeekjournal ... 2010-03-15
This is an interesting concept - integrating Twitter more with existing sites. I wonder how long it will be before students can Tweet directly from their online class?
to bpnsoundings edugeekjournal ... 2010-03-15
This site was recently bought by Google. I have tried it before - it is a great place to edit photos online for free. Great for use in a wide range of classes projects that could involve taking pictures.

Most people reading this tag list probably already have a personal learning network. If not - you need one, and this article tells you why. If you are trying convince others (or influence department policy) - this link is a good resource.

Fascinating read on integrating technology in classes. It focuses on face-to-face grade school courses, but is also very rich with ideas that can be used online. This is the kind of stuff that I love to read.

Second Life seems to be on the edge of either dying or taking off - hard to tell sometimes. But I like the possibilities that exist there, so I hope this new browser will help bring more people in.

I love this article about the future of education. It covers everything from emerging technology to new topics to be covered to new school structures. Some great ideas in here.

Virtual Field Trips may be available with just a push of a button some day. Intriguing concept.

Will Google make us stupid? Not quite. George Siemens is one of the top bloggers I recommend Ed Tech folks to follow. It doesn't hurt that his posts are always one or two paragraphs long. I wish I could get my points across as succinctly as he does :)
to bpnsoundings edugeekjournal ... 2010-02-23
Article from a leading Ed Tech thinker in the Journal of Emerging Technologies in Web Intelligence, Vol 2, No 1 (2010). Sounds like a journal that is right up everyone's alley?
to bpnsoundings edugeekjournal ... 2010-02-23
I am wondering what this will mean for the world of Ed Tech. Maybe we can start creating software specifically for our classes? Schools?
to bpnsoundings edugeekjournal ... 2010-02-22
An interesting concept on textbooks. Wonder if this will come to the Kindle or Nook any time soon? Doubtful.
