- Top 10 tools for learning 2012
- Educational Thinkers’ Hall of Fame – John Dewey (WEA Director for Education's Blog) Ann Walker also refers to Don Clark's excellent overview of learning theorists --highly recommended. And while I'm at it check out the Encyclopaedia of Informal Education.
- Blended Learning, But To What End? | Taking Note Interesting sceptical overview by John Merrow.
- America the Anxious (NYTimes) Don't be misled by the title--it's about a UK perspective on the US.
- Being Defensive Clever! But neither verifiable nor particularly useful... A lesson to all of us who (like me) occasionally fall for the idea that if you can diagram it, it's true!
- The cast of The West Wing reunites for a wistfully hilarious (and actual) campaign spot (Boing Boing) No apologies for posting this twice!
- An amazing virtual world, or something. xkcd: Click and Drag (make sure javascript is enabled) but this: xkcd-map.rent-a-geek.de is the scalable map which makes the whole thing more manageable but somehow less fun...
- Lectures on Emergence and Complexity (Cosmic Variance) Prepare for a workout...
- Dan Ariely on the Truth About Dishonesty, Animated From the brilliant RSA animations.
- All Is Not Vanity by Rick Archbold (Literary Review of Canada) E-publishing and publishing on demand are changing the landscape, and "vanity publishing" is no longer a useful label.
