Educational Technology has always been a mixed bag. From old equipment, to lack of training, to lack of time to implement change, public schools have always had it tough. Recently on techlearning.com, a great article was posted which clearly discusses how to perform Staff Development the smart way. A great read which hits all of [...]

One of the great podcasts available on “The Interweb” is Radiolab.  For me, RadioLab is a great mix of science, technology, and philosophy.  A recent favorite is the episode on Emergence which discusses how, for example, individual ants or brain cells can do little on their own and have little power, but when grouped together [...]

We have all run into CAPTCHAs (those little squiggly words we must type to access web services). You might also know there are multiple projects under way with the goal of scanning books and documents into digital form. Now imagine combining these two concepts! Enter reCAPTCHA, whose goal it is to provide login security AND [...]

Have you ever wished that your hard drive would just tell you why it’s so full, and what files are filling it up?  Well, now there is a free program called WinDirStat that does just that.  WinDirStat, gives you a graphical view of your hard drive with blocks representing files.  The beauty of this is, [...]
