In reading eSchool News (yes, sometimes I do read through the things that come around in folders :)), I read about the Google Apps Marketplace and decided to take a look. It has a lot of potential for schools who are moving towards Google being their centralized solution. It makes complete sense when you think about the resources that go in to updating and managing tools but I know how hard it is to change current systems. I've included two videos about the Apps Marketplace, the Ninja is more business oriented but I just thought it was entertaining.
This year's Schools of the Future conference was an information-rich event. When we think of the future, more than a few of us probably also think of technology. That association certainly carries over in the interpretation of the conference title Schools of the Future . Indeed, many topics besides educational technology were covered; however, the technological advances were a strong highlight at the conference in my view. As mentioned in one of Cassie's previous posts , there are online classes everywhere. The first few links on my list reference ways to learn on your own (i.e., ways to acquire knowledge). The second set of links refer to ways of representing knowledge. **Note: All icons link to the affiliated website. Academic Earth has hundreds of free online lectures from prominent university professors, including Carnegie Mellon, Stanford, The University of Houston, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, MIT, Michigan State, Princeton, Rice, UCLA, UCSF, and the list
