Comment 1: “Our IT department won’t let us!”
Granted, it’s easy for me to say that IT should work for you, the teachers. Their job is to make sure that you, the teachers, can do what you want to do — not prevent it. Getting them to realize this is the challenge. One of the best suggestions I’ve heard was when a tech director suggested that IT folks be required to follow students around for a day. I would suggest that IT folks be required to sit in a classroom for a day, each month or so, to see not just the challenges of teaching, but the passion of mission. We need to bring them into the mission.
I suspect that IT folks are evaluated each year just like teachers. Give them an instructional goal to accomplish each year, find some way to technically facilitate better reading, global awareness, creativity, etc.
A big part of innovating on the web is understanding how it work, and APIs are a fairly new ingredient. This in from Programmable Web.
This week saw the widest range of APIs being used to develop mashups we’ve seen in awhile: 42 different APIs used in 7 days. Of those new apps added to our mashup directory, only a handful were map mashups, whereas most of them used more unique APIs: Google Chart API, indeed API, Livekick API, MTV API, NPR API, Tagalus API, TwitPic API, uClassify API, Vimeo API, and the Yelp API…1
For those who do not know, APIs are, in a sense, keys into the data of various web sites. It enables use to collect data and even tools from one (or more) web site(s) and include it in our web presences. APIs are how I built Hitchhikr, which lists blog posts written from and about various conferences.

It's interesting to me to find comments posted here, like this, on my blog. This is just one more way that our information environment is becoming more connected, more connecting, and more connective.

It appeared because some Diigo user posted it. It shows up for other Diigo users. I'm not sure exactly how it works, but imaging textbooks that worked this way...

This would be more of a tool for the teachers use, in that they could use it to better themselves through seeing ways of teaching through different philosophies and seeing different professional development opportunities.
This is a blog about educational technology. it is by David Warlick who has been a teacher for 30 years. He has helped to create many tools for teachers.

David Marlick's blog on teaching and learning in the new technology landscape.
Insights on various technology trends by David Warlick, who was formerly an educator and has authored books on integrating technology into 21st century schools.
I asked participants to share examples of information-rich learning activities, and many of the answers were brilliant. But very few of them truly painted a picture of what students and teachers are actually doing.
We need to start doing a much better job of visualizing and describing what learning 2.0 actually looks like
You see, what’s new, and cool, and so much in the spirit of 2.0 about this experience is that it is about conversation, and about conversation being turned into content. It was easy to record Dan’s answers and the audio (and video) of the students’ questions. But to have the students (and visitors) engaged in a parrellel, even subterranian conversation about what’s happening in the open air and to have that conversation available for later reference and work, seems extremely powerful to me.

Students are not being taught. They aren’t learning to be taught. They are learning to listen and respond, to sythesize and to share, read, work, and reword.
