Article: Why Schools Need to Get Social, Local and Mobile

Faculty - be honest. How many of you read this and don't know what these services are or do, let alone how they can potentially impact teaching and learning?

Get out there! Mix it up. See what works and what doesn't. We area in a Cambrian Explosion of SoLoMo apps, and no, not every one will succeed. But some will, and they will dominate the landscape for the next decade and beyond.

Kepler Team Confirms First Earth-like Planet in a Habitable Zone, And Finds 1,094 More Worlds

This is seriously cool! I think we're starting to get the idea - there's a whole bunch of planets out there, and a big chunk of them are going to be life-friendly.

Article: Tim Pool

Those of us old enough to remember the "Scud Stud" and those night vision images from the 1991 Persian Gulf War may recall how, regional politics aside, we were witnessing the rise of a New Thing - the 24-hour news channel as "something important". We can debate about whether cable TV is still relevant, and whether CNN et al squandered their legacy. But in this report about Occupy Wall Street "live stream" Tim Pool, I sense the rise of a new New Thing.

Networked Society - a new short film about connectivity

A very interesting and insightful perspective on how we stand just at the brink of a truly networked society.

"We are the last generation that grew up in a dumb society, where things were stupid and uninteresting."

"All of the devices we make today have the potential to communicate with each other and have a reason to do it."

"When the light bulb was the thing, they dug up New York so that everyone could have lightbulbs in their houses. They didn't really see the extension of light bulbs, that you could have other electrical appliances. ...Jeff Bezos of Amazon ... thinks we are at the lightbulb stage of the internet."

Not a lot of "new" technology here, but a step back to look forward.

We've covered most of these, but good tricks nevertheless....

Use Photoshop to alter reality

Wired.com to begin releasing images under Creative Commons licensing - Dig in!

Like many other sites across the web, we’ve benefited from CC-licensed photos at Wired.com for years — thank you, sharers! It seems only fitting, and long overdue, to start sharing ourselves.

http://www.wired.com/rawfile/2011/11/creative-commons/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+wired%2Findex+%28Wired%3A+Index+3+%28Top+Stories+2%29%29&utm_content=Google+Reader&pid=1358

This should be good! It will expose Creative Commons licensing to a much broader audience. Please read the article to determine what is off limits and what you can "remix" for yourself.

Siri hype, backlash and the long view

But the thinking here has to extend beyond the present and your own self. It reminds me a bit of the people who used to say that they needed a physical keyboard on their phone. And that Apple would eventually have to add one to the iPhone. It was a certainty.
