The most cynical 'top ten' of the year award goes to Dave Cormier for his 'top 10 ed tech stories'. I have a couple of reactions. First, I think he flagged one of next year's tools of the year in Big Blue Button. Second, I think his number one pick is very over-rated - the Zephoria Incident, where a speaker was "trashed" on a back-channel during her talk. Why over-rated? Because when the same thing happened to me - two years ago (go to 9:30 in the presentation) it wasn't even story of the minute, much less story of the year. So why is it story of the year this year - because it's danah boyd? Because it's an A-lister?
