- AllVoices Via Kathy Jacobs. This seems like a great concept and a thriving site: “The first open media site where anyone can report from anywhere.” tags: news, socialsoftware
- Google Student Blog Via Lucy Gray. This looks like a fantastic idea, but there’s only one post so far so time will tell. It’s a blog for students by Google. It promises to include tips for students and to be participatory in a way as well. tags: googleined
- Edmodo – Microblogging For Education Edmodo allows you to create a sort of closed social microblogging enviornment (like twitter) for students and teachers. However, for “real life” use, it’s kinda lame. You have to know a person or group to publish anything. Also, for “safe” school use, it seems odd that as you type in a user name it autosuggests existing users. tags: microblogging, education
- Free Mobile Alerts: One-to-many text messaging and voicemail » Moving at the Speed of Creativity Here’s a great post by Wes Fryer, including two cell phone based services I hadn’t heard of before, textmarks and phonevite. If you’re interested in using cell phones in education, check this out. tags: phonesined
- Eduwonk » Blog Archive » 10 Principles Driving Obama’s Education Plan I’ve discussed Obama’s education plan (and McCain’s) on this blog before. It’s about time for me to revisit those plans (and others) here. In the meantime, here’s a fairly succinct article. tags: politics, education, obama
- blog.iphone-dev.org | QuickPwn – Mac Chris Craft posted this on twitter a week or so ago, and I finally “jailbroke” my iPhone (running the 2.0 software) a few days ago. It’s great to be able play with it again, but there’s nothing sufficiently cool to warrant advocating educators jailbreak their phone the way I did before the 2.0 upgrade… yet. tags: iphone

Just an FYI about the auto suggesting feature, we only auto suggest names of groups you belong too. Other people will not get auto suggested for your students. All teachers on the other hand are automatically joined to the “edmodo” group so they get auto suggestions of other teachers in the edmodo group. You will not be auto suggested for any student that is not your student. I just wanted to clear that up.
