Hulu - Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog
(Warning - this movie is probably a PG-13 but not rated because it is online. Not for you to show your students at school, although, they are probably already watching it.)
This is a very viral video that a lot of the kids are talking about. (It came out LAST June but now is a hot seller on Amazon.) Neil Patrick Harris wants to join the Evil League of Evil. It is 42 minutes long. It is ironic how much of entertainment is becoming viral -- television can no longer control what gets watched - it gets "put out there" and then they see what is watched. In many ways, this viral way of video viewing is very interesting.
Not saying this should be watched -- it is quite hot with many college students. I could see how much that is said would resonate with college kids.
Listen to the vernacular - even though some of you may find this very napolean dynamite-ish.

Swedish technology: cell phone vibrations might let us watch soccer games without actually watching » Unwired View
An area of explosive growth that is beginning to emerge is the integration of other senses than sight and sound -- smell, touch, taste, etc. and this is an example of how a company is planning to use the sense of touch to let a person follow a soccer game. Don't know if anyone would do it, but if everybody thinks it is a good idea, as a rule, you're too late.

Tech Central - Times Online - WBLG: Second Life needs a bailout after all
Second life has upped their prices this week. This is why I couldn't buy land - I budgeted at old prices but don't have the money to create my student island now. Of course, I'd wait until this past week to buy the island, but I wasn't ready yet!

Got a link to this wiki from Estie Cuellar, amazing teacher who has joined in Flat Classroom this year. She says:
"I would like to share something with you guys. I teach a Sports Marketing Class. I’m always looking for new and fun ways to reach the kids. Yesterday, I started my class on a comprehensive project that I’m calling, “Rock On.” The goal of the project is for the students teams (all of my classes work in teams) to synthesize what they’ve learned in class so far (they’ve learned the marketing mix, target marketing, positioning, segmenting, and the 7-key functions of marketing) and plan a 20 city tour for their band. I found the project from a “Best Practices” book that Jeff McCauley of The Marketing Teacher compiled from marketing teachers and sent out as a PDF a couple of years ago. I have modified the original project to utilize Web2.0 technologies."
Interesting ideas - wish I could teach marketing!
