Leonard Low, et.al. - Social Networking: Philosophy and Pedagogy - EdNA Groups
A pretty good discussion on the EdNA Forums about Web 2.0 and e-learning 2.0 that is worth a look. Summarized as, "Leonard states - Web 2.0 sites are designed to be sources of content and functionality - facilitating the sharing, exchange and discovery of information, and the construction of networks of information and people. Leonard also uses the analogy (although it did not sound too flash) of hack in the back. Sean quoted 'Web2.0 is about empowerment, communication, collaboration, sharing, community, collective intelligence, collective action and openness. Ian also argued that Web2.0 From

Mark Bernstein - 10 Tips on Writing the Living Web - A List Apart
Pretty good advice overall, though I do wonder about point number 8. Hm. I have been pointedly told I'm not (and not very nicely either). And the best I could do on
Hotornot is 6.5 out of 10. But hey, that's better than 61 percent of all men! Yeah. Back to work, Stephen. "Pictures don't matter in the long run; what matters is the trajectory of your relationship with the reader, the gradual growth of intimacy and knowledge between you." [

Scott Leslie - alt-i-lab 2006 Presentations Available - EdTechPost
I'll put this is the list of things to be read later, and pass along Scott Leslie's comment for now: "Part of me really wants some of these developments to come true, to deliver the promised 'plug and play' elearning environments described herein, and in my rational moments I know that 10 years really isn't that long for a field like this to coalesce around an open set of interoperability specs. And yet it would be hard to fault a newcomer looking at these presentations for wondering if this represents what is still to be done, how anyone manages to develop quality onl From

Norm Friesen, Grace Chung and Andrew Feenberg - Experiencing Surveillance: A Phenomenological Approach - Ipseity
Interesting. In a world of ubiquitous surveillance, how does our understanding of ourselves change? Is it this? "Like Sartre's spy at the keyhole, himself espied, we would lose our ability to function as a subject. We could no longer choose an identity to project depending on our inclination and the situation at hand as everything having to do with our identity would have been pre-empted by the surveillance system...

Miguel Guhlin - Freedom - Around the Corner
Heh. "TOR is a routing technology that encrypts and routes your Internet traffic through a number of TOR servers before the traffic reaches its destination. Privoxy is a proxy server that helps protect your Internet privacy by removing or obscuring various content, such as your DNS queries, browser type, OS type, and more." Trouble for some, freedom for others. [

Grab bag
I miss The WeLL. In the pre-web days, I would turn to the WeLL when I had a technical question. For example, why the hell does the sidebar for my informal learning site disappear in Internet Explorer? Here is the same page viewed in Firefox (left) and IE (right). After curing that problem with a little [...] From
