Luke Vidak's Podcast
Luke took a neat slant on the project. He read the book The Giving Tree. What a great solution for when you have to "make up" something to post.

Can We Trust Students to Learn in Web 2.0?
Can We Trust Students to Learn in Web 2.0?Can We Trust Students to Learn in Web 2.0?
6/4/2008 By Trent Batson
A core debate about learning design arises from the fear that, if we allow learners too much freedom, they will not learn the right things. Web 2.0 exacerbates that fear because it is beyond the control of educators.

New Media Consortium Launches $100,000 Program for Virtual Learning
5/16/2008
The New Media Consortium,
a not-for-profit group of organizations focused on bringing technology
into the learning process, has kicked off a competitive award program
for educational communities in Second Life and Project Wonderland.
Twenty grants totaling $100,000 in cash and development assistance will
be awarded this year to fund these educational efforts.
According to the consortium, NMC is "looking for projects that use
immersive 3D environments to teach cross-disciplinary concepts that are
difficult to teach by traditional means." The criteria for selection
include novel approaches to learning, immersiveness, and broad
applicability (across disciplines).
Individual prizes include $500 in cash and $4,500 in development assistance from NMC Virtual Worlds,
a program within NMC that provides pro bono services for education. The
assistance includes "professional building, scripting, design,
animation, avatar design, and/or related services," according to NMC.
Proposals are being accepted now, and the submission period will
remain open until all 20 grants have been awarded. The competitive
awards are open to all but are geared specifically toward educators at
K-12 and post-secondary institutions. Winners agree to make all
finished materials developed as a part of the funded program available
for license under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 United States License.
Further information about the program can be found here.

How to Make Facebook Useful Again - ReadWriteWeb
Oh the heels of some of Facebook's missteps (ahem, Beacon) and the proliferation of a myriad of useless, silly, and time-wasting apps, some former Facebook users
decided to quit the site for good this year. However, a handful of
early adopter angst doesn't have Facebook worried. Why is that? Because
Facebook has a whole generation of users who grew up using their site
for everything social back when it was just a way to network with their
high school or college friends. So what are the everyday Facebook users
doing that keep them engaged in the service? It's not throwing sheep,
apparently. For many Facebook users, there are still useful apps to be
found and ways to use the service that the rest of us could learn from.
