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
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
