Stephen Downes - Adults and MySpace (2) - Half an Hour
OK, yes, I did get some forms filled out today, you'll be happy to know, and I also found time to write this follow-up to my earlier post on adults and MySpace, a response to the comment by Ritchie Boyd (see his link below).

Brian Lamb - Summer Listening and Viewing From UbuWeb - Abject learning
Some good stuff here. Sites like Ubuweb are what's great about the net. Brian Lamb picks up on the site's Glenn Gould CBC shows; what caught my eye was the link to FluxFilms compiled by George Maciunas. I went to a Fluxus exhibition in Copenhagen when I was there in the spring and actually put some photos and videos on my website. Not that anybody was actually interested, but I liked them.

Associated Press. - A Lesson in Finance: Teachers Sell Their Original Work Online - Cnn
As I commented in Dean Shareski's post, it seems like one of these articles comes up every few months. So will teachers make a lot of money selling their lessons online? I wouldn't bet on it. [Link] [Tags: ] [Comment] From OLDaily on June 29, 2006 at 4:45 p.m..

Dave Cormier - At the Risk of Disagreeing With Jay Rosen... - Dave's Educational Blog
Reacting to the Jay Rosen article linked here yesterday, Dave Cormier cautions that "there will be a rebuttall, and it will not be televised. It will be subtle. People will be bought out." Count on it. History is not inevitable. "If change is going to happen, everyone needs to be emancipated. Emancipation, in the sense of empowerement to publish, to have voice, to be able to control your destiny, is a very, very long way off. The revolution, if there is ever to be one, is going to take years of concerted effort." Quite right. It already has. And it certainly will. [OLDaily on June 29, 2006 at 4:45 p.m..

Christian Long - A Worthy Pass-Through in the Edu-Blogosphere - think:lab
More blogs that may be new to you. In this post, Christian Long points to Andrew Pass, who writes, The Current Events in Education. Also, Patric Dunn, who has recently launched Networked Learning Design, blogs at Occasional Rants. I would also like to highlight Digital Latchkey, by J. Ritchie Boyd, which was started as a consequence of an email dialoguie between the two of us. From OLDaily on June 29, 2006 at 4:45 p.m..

Lisa Galarneau - GLS Podcasts - socialstudygames.com
As Lisa Galarneau writes, the quality of these podcasts is a bit spotty, but she certainly chose interesting people - James Paul Gee and John Seely Brown, among others - with whom to "experiment" in podcasting about the use of games in learning. You can also find some conference summary notes on her Social Study games site. [Link] [Tags: Podcasting, OLDaily on June 29, 2006 at 4:45 p.m..

Bluetooth Vulnerabilities Spell Risk
The rise in Bluetooth-enabled devices creates potential for a mobile virus to propagate almost on contact, like a biological threat. From ClickZ Stats on June 29, 2006 at 12:45 p.m..

Gnomedex 6.0
Tomorrow I'm headed to Seattle for Gnomedex. (My plane lands at 2:30 pm. If you have a car and would like to share a ride, get in touch.) Gnomedex is a great tech gathering: last year it legitimized podcasting. I'm not going for the tech; I'm attending because this is a great conference. I wrote it [...] From Internet Time Blog on June 28, 2006 at 11:45 p.m..

The ivory tower gets more flexible
