In this wiki, students from all over the world compete against each other through the use of mathematics games. It has the top 50 teams from around the world. Each game is a minute with individuals competing against other students of the same age group. I loved this because Malaysia a developing country, has a team in it and is placed in the top 50. There are prizes and other incentives as well.

Blog from Joyce Valenca - New technologies in education; some of these I had the chance to experience last year like the Geo-everything. This was pretty amazing as one could pinpoint my village and see what was happening there.

Cloud computing: cloud is the term for networked computers that distribute processing power, applications and large systems among many machines. Examples of the cloud platform include: YouTube, Flickr, Google. The cloud is invisible to end user. It makes it possible for users to deploy tools that can scale on demand to serve as many users as desired. More and more, we trust our work and our data to the cloud rather than backing up on local machines. We regularly choose the cloud for its plaform independence, scalability, and value instead of purchasing proprietary software. I never actually considered the cloud as a cloud before though I use it extensively, for instance my pathfinder wikis on Wikispaces and PageFlakes, my Flickr galleries.
Time to adoption: Two to three years
Geo-everything: Using the new classes of geolocation tools, it is very easy to determine and capture the exact location of physical objects--as well as capturing the location where digital media such as photographs and video are taken. . . Devices we commonly carry with us increasingly have the ability to know where they (and consequently, we) are, and to record our coordinates as we take photographs, talk to friends, or post updates to social networking sites. Most of us are aware of the power and educational applications of GoogleEarth. The report suggests these tools will soon be used by researchers (with the help of people on the ground) to study wildlife migration or to track the spread of epidemics, using personally geotagged photographs and video. -
