From Toy to Tool: Cell Phones in Learning: Create your own Cell Phone Radio Show...or just hear your favorite podcast on your cell!
Excerpt: "You go to the Foneshow website, find a podcast (there are many to choose from including NPR and even the presidential candidates), type in your cell phone number, click on subscribe and you are done. You will receive a text message with a phone number in it. Hit reply to the message and your phone will automatically dial the number where you will get instructions to listen to the podcast. Every time there is a new episode available, you will recceive a text message (you can also stop this function if you would like). While that is pretty cool, even more exciting is the ability to create your own cell phone podcast! And it is so easy! You just click on Create your own Foneshow. Add your podcast (you can upload it), and then publish."

Humanists sue as exam agency blocks GCSE | Education | The Guardian
Personally, I think the humanists are way off base here, despite the fact that I'm generally sympathetic to humanist organizations. "Humanism" (the concept being, for one thing, a contemporary invention of its detractors) is simply not a religious tradition that you can study the same way one can study Islam or Buddhism. More importantly, it's a strategic mistake and conceptual error to try and pretend to be one. Seen on @melmcbride 's Twitter stream.
