The Case Against Textbooks
I've been thinking a lot lately about how at it's core these technologies are all about content. Obviously, that in itself is nothing earth shattering, but sometimes I find myself really in awe as to the transformational potential of the Read/Write Web when it comes to curriculum. Certainly, the ability for our students to easily create and share content in many different forms requires us to shift our thinking about how best to make relevant the learning that takes place in our classroom. But the more profound shift for teachers, I think, is how we deliver curriculum to our kids. From weblogged News on April 16, 2005 at 12:47 p.m..

Two papers, one real
Karen Schneider, the Freerange Librarian, has an article in the Library Journal on the ethics of librarian blogs that begins promisingly: "Blogging is turning information into a conversation..."

Physical World Hyperlinks
While the cell phone is changing society at many levels, the most fundamental change is yet to come. This is when our phones start to bridge the physical and the digital worlds, to enrich our lives in ways we can currently only guess at.
