The 140 Character Lesson at Newly Ancient
I have had the growing suspicion for sometime now that many of the adult edu-bloggers that I know and read — both those I agree with and disagree with — are failing to have honest conversations about the roles our own philosophical belief systems and professional/edu-political stances are having on the lives and reputations of the very children we blog with and about.

Interactive Excel Spreadsheets
Excelets are interactive Excel spreadsheets or simulations of mathematical models. The user changes a variable and the spreadsheet changes in numerical, graphical, and/or even symbolic form (equations). Through the use of numerical experimentation and "what if" scenarios, we have a powerful learning tool for students using readily available off-the-shelf software. All of this is done computationally with no use of programming, no macros or Visual Basics for Applications, VBA. The use of VBA adds another level of sophistication via programming and also possible security concerns. An Excelet with or without VBA resembles a "Javaless" applet. It is assumed that users of this guide are experienced with the use of Excel. If you need to gain this experience, see Using Excel for Handling, Graphing, and Analyzing Scientific Data: A Resource for Science and Mathematics Students to get started.

Sandra Day O'Connor: Game Designer | Game | Life from Wired.com
Delivering the keynote address Wednesday at the annual Games For Change conference at Parsons The New School For Design, O'Connor detailed a project she is spearheading called Our Courts, which she described as an "online, interactive civic education project for seventh- and eighth-graders" that familiarizes students with the legal system. O'Connor believes that America's youth aren't learning enough about civics, and thinks that the educational power of videogames is just the thing to change that.

The core mistake of the present Sugar approach is that it couples phenomenally powerful ideas about learning — that it should be shared, collaborative, peer to peer, and open — with the notion that these ideas must come presented in an entirely new graphical paradigm. We reject this coupling as untenable.

What People Say When They Tweet
Written by Josh Catone / May 9, 2008 12:54 PM / 3 Comments
Everyone is talking about Twitter (to the consternation of many of our readers, I'm sure), but what are people talking about on Twitter? It is really just a flood of inane status updates and fragmented chat, or are people actually talking about things that matter to them via the service? We've talked about Twitter as a platform for serious discussion, but is anyone really using it that way? We teamed up with Summize to take a closer look about what people are talking about in the Twitosphere.
Summize looked at about 4 million Twitter status update messages (tweets) collected from the public time line over a seven day period running from April 27 - May 3.

Secretary Mike Leavitt's Blog:
HHS Secretary Mike Leavitt is taking time to blog as a way to foster public discussion. The blog is the result of the Secretary’s continuing desire to engage Americans in the exchange of ideas on health care and the provision of human services. It provides an opportunity for the Secretary to share his observations as well as a means for him to have an open conversation about health and the related challenges that face the nation.

Teachers Behaving Like Middle Schoolers - Teach42
Personally, I hope all teachers blog, keep their blogs public, and model some of these principles:
- responsibility of course
- asking open and honest questions about education
- that ALL people have first amendment rights, including teachers and students
- that no one should be content with the status quo
- that everyone has the right to be controversial
- that everyone should be brave in their ideas, in their writing
- that we talk about how and why we make the ethical decisions we do.
I am concerned that we will cow teachers into either not sharing their ideas or only publishing those things that are completely “safe.” That would be a detriment to the field of education and society.
