Spotlight

If you just can't decide which blog to begin reading, start with this post stating the finalists for the Edublog Awards - 2007. There are educational blogs from pre-school science to high school library resources! I feel so inadequate writing this since I only read about 5 from the entire list of recommended blogs. Perhaps I will find a new one to read on this list.

If you want to be sure to see the overall trend in educational technology, get a free subscription to eSchool News. I always learn something new from this weekly publication. Often they have stories of best practice across the country. Enjoy!

Not out just yet, but:

From the web site: "Never miss a word – One of the key applications at launch for the Livescribe platform is called “Paper Replay,” which allows total recall from lectures, meetings or conversations by simply tapping on your notes. When used to take notes during a discussion or lecture, the smartpen records the conversation and digitizes the handwriting, automatically synchronizing the ink and audio. By later tapping the ink, the user can replay the conversation from the exact moment the note was written. Notes and audio can also be uploaded to a PC where they can be replayed, saved, searched or sent."

These two are making BIG waves on YouTube. They have several songs posted. I didn't know someone could play that fast! They also do an interesting version of Stairway to Heaven!
