The ustream for the Web 2 smackdown and a list of links from the session on a wiki page. Some people don't like the term "smackdown" which originated from wrestling (guess it shows my southern roots) -- just meant to be a lot of fun and sharing - not supposed to be too serious.

Lots of great tools shared here. The ustream is great if you have time, if you don't, there are quite a few links in the diigo list I share here.

One of my favorite web 2.0 tools shown last year at necc wasn't on a computer, it was a keychain used by Kevin Honeycutt. These are amazing and this is a photograph of that. These were given to the teacher at his school in sort of a swap meet - people wrote about what it was and links on one side and the name on the other side along with the name of a person who could be contacted to help with that. Each teacher had to bring two to share with the others.

OK, I've been toying around with Goodreads, a website that so many librarians have recommended to me. Thus far it looks a bit like blippr although perhaps easier to use. Enjoying it so far. This particular group seems to be for educators.

If you want more "bling" for your blog -- Diigo has a new program to recognize educational pioneers using Diigo. Since the beginning, Maggie Tsai has listened to educators (not just me) in amazing ways and this is great. If you have a classroom diigo group, then log into your teacher console and snag your "diigo educational pioneer" badge - I'm going to get mine!!

We use diigo groups for all of my classes and we have tag dictionaries based upon the major topics we cover.

An example of how the Internet often "makes" news. Although many people believe online sources above traditional media, verifying sources is still something that should happen.

Again... don't believe everything you read, ANYWHERE!

Disabled people can now paint with a wiimote wheelchair. This is cool and opportunities for disabled to contribute are just beginning.

I wonder what this would do in schools with children who are developmentally challenged.

Take a look at the widgets universe created by the Repositories support project -- you can see the widgets that they have and information. Some of these are particularly interesting -- I recommend taking a look if you are a researcher or grant write as some of these look like something you'll like.

Organizations are starting to get things together to create widgets to help academicians, authors, and others to build a very powerful PLN (personal learning network) with their igoogle or netvibes. They seem to prefer Netvibes for a couple of reasons - and I maintain an account on both, although I startup on igoogle.

There are Bespoke repository service widgets and repository information widgets. They even have a page to see what these widgets do (also in this post.)

Every modern student (and professor and teacher) should understand how to build a PLN.

Bitty Browser is an incredibly cool and useful tool.

It allows you to embed a website inside another web page - so if you want to embed a web page for people to use in your wiki, just use the bitty browser. You can even create up to 100 feeds and make a mini RSS reader for education news for those teachers you KNOW will NEVER use RSS. Fascinating tool.

Dean Groom interviews his ninght grade students about how social networks affected their learning. This is a reflection of their project and a great listen if you want to hear what STUDENTS say. We need more reflective student voices like this.

Liz Kolb tipped me onto this gem that I will look at. She says it does things just like Jott - it has several features for iphones. I'm going to look at it and let you know how Jott and reqall compare -- if it is worth the $3.95 a month for Jott to work w/ RTM and Google Cal.
