Flexknowlogy - Jared Stein's ARCHIVED blog - update to jaredstein.org » Defining "Creepy Treehouse"
This article is an attempt to objectively define the phrase "creepy treehouse" as coined by Chris Lott, and in current usage by ed tech folks such as Scott Leslie, Marc Hugentobler, John Krutsch, and others. I plan to follow up with a post on my perspective on CTH in the field of educational technology.

PDFs, DIIGO and collaboration online
The dilemma of not being able to satisfactorily comment on PDFs could be largely resolved if we could read PDF documents directly in a navigator, like FireFox, and then use an annotation system like the one offered by DIIGO. Earlier versions of navigators made it possible to read PDF documents ‘in-line’ but this is no longer the case. From our perspective, the advantage of reading a PDF in the navigator - as if it were a web page - is that doing so enables the use of web-based tools like DIIGO and, as a result, sharing comments with others in a controlled way.
Digitally Speaking / FrontPage
What makes this disconnect between what is and what could be so disheartening is that a wide range of free web-based tools are available to educators that are making digital creation, collaboration and communication incredibly approachable. The purpose of this wiki is to introduce a few of these tools to users---and to include practical examples of how educators can make digital dialogue a real part of their classroom instruction.
Digitally Speaking / Social Bookmarking and Annotating
The driving force behind the Web 2.0 revolution is a spirit of intellectual philanthropy and collective intelligence that is made possible by new technologies for communication, collaboration and information management. One of the best examples of collective intelligence in action are the wide range of social bookmarking applications that have been embraced in recent years.

Cool Smileys Blog » The J Emoticon mystery
The letter J is just how people that don’t use Microsoft Outlook view the smiley generated by Microsoft’s email client. Apparently when you insert a smiley in an outlook message, the actual smiley isn’t graphically embedded in the mail, but a single letter is put there instead. When non-outlook clients or webmail services try to read the message what they see there is the letter ‘J’ and not the actual smiley that was there in the first place.
