Physical Spaces for Learning
via Stephen's Web ~ OLDaily by (author unknown) on January 21, 2008
You know, when I read about "classrooms of the future", I think of the sort of discussion that must have taken place a century ago about "reading rooms of the future". It never occurred to people that reading was something that could be done everywhere, by anyone. Can you imagine? Reading while traveling 100 kilometers an hour? How could anyone concentrate long enough? Or reading in a grocery...

iPod 1.0
via Stephen's Web ~ OLDaily by (author unknown) on February 04, 2008
What gets me about this "iPod version 1.0" is that it has two ear tubes. Why wasn't one enough? Because, apparently, you need to listen for airplanes in stereo. Dave, Shorpy, February 5, 2008 [Tags: Apple Inc.] [Link] [Comment]

First Monday'S Critical Perspectives On Web 2.0
via Stephen's Web ~ OLDaily by (author unknown) on March 05, 2008
Summary of the current issue of First Monday, which features a number of critical perspectives on Web 2.0. This observation by Trebor Stoltz is telling (and accurate): "The takeover of the Web by business interests is also apparent when examining public discourse. The most visible authors, writing about the Social Web are lawyers, legal scholars at elite universities, business strategists, and...

Relying On Inner Teachers
via Stephen's Web ~ OLDaily by (author unknown) on March 05, 2008
This post is a big part of what I have been trying to say. "When we assume each student has an inner teacher within their minds, we will stop interfering with the discovery, cultivation and trust building with that inner teacher.... When we had over the learning to the students and their inner teachers, there is no more need for putting over-powering, controlling, authoritative and silencing...

D2L posted most of its response online (coverage from Barry Dahl. Michael Feldstein links to this and also Alfred Essa's assessment of how broad the patent...

URGENT: 21st Century Skills for Educators (and Others) First
via Stephen's Web ~ OLDaily by (author unknown) on March 09, 2008
Will Richardson goes to a conference and notices that nobody is online. because the people at the conference (and how many times have you seen this?) are still working in pre-internet mode: they may be taking notes (on paper) but mostly they're just sitting there uncritically consuming the content from the front (which is how, I may add, charlatans and snake oil salesmen are able to be so...

What Planet Are You From? PlanetOU of Course!
via Stephen's Web ~ OLDaily by (author unknown) on March 18, 2008
RSS aggregation is (finally!) reaching mainstream, recently through the 'Planet' series of sites. The idea of things like Planet Ubuntu and Planet Drupal is that they aggregate feeds related to those services, so you can see them all in one go. So naturally we now have Planet OU (and associated RSS Feed, which aggregates feeds coming from The Open University. Also, here is a podcast from...
