OK, one of the worst user interfaces I've had to deal with in some time, and because it's Flash, I can't send you a direct URL to the page I want to describe (are you reading this Macromedia?)... but I have to send you this link because it's important. The site is called Cool Genius and is worth taking a look. The article is, as the title suggests, an interview with Murray Goldberg. To read the article don't bother trying to click on the name of the article or anywhere inside the pop-up describing the article... click on the little picture on the lower left hand side of the page. Like I said... The interview is so sycophantic there must be a link between Cool Genius and Goldberg's new company, Silicon Chalk, which produces SLATE, "software developed by Silicon Chalk to enhance the educational experience for instructors and students at the post secondary level. Using wirelessly communicating notebook computers within a class or lecture setting, the final version of the software will include features designed to help improve collaboration and build a learning community. The application will provide a method for instructors to make real-time presentations to the student laptops." Sound familiar? Silicon Chalk's website is http://www.silicon-chalk.com/ and I guess with this item I've blown my chance to be next month's Featured Genius.
