My lecturer for ETL523, Judy O'Connell (Blog: http://heyjude.wordpress.com/), just keeps providing us with interesting information and cool videos. This time I started looking at her LiveBinders folder (a new Web 2.0 tool to me!), and immediately came across some interesting videos (including the one below) and some fantastic resources all round.
The provision of a cool video... well I can't help myself can I! I feel the need to show off my embedding skills again.
This one addresses the information overload we have today with the huge amount of information that is available online, and it encourages us to think about what this means for education.
What it means for me:
I need to be able to support my future students, and to encourage the rest of the school community to help provide that support, to gain the skills to get what they need from the Internet, and to not get lost in it. This is something that I will need to continually work on myself as well - there are so many ways to get lost.
It also means that I have yet another online tool to investigate: LiveBinders

Becoming informed
"Do you know what augmented reality is?"
"No..."
"Oh! I do!"
This is becoming an almost regular exchange it seems. As I learn about new technologies and how they might apply to Education in the future, I realise that I am becoming a resident expert. Though I still turn to James for support when it comes to things not working, or the Internet not connecting, there are things that I now know about that he has not heard of.
I quite like this... more learning here I come!
Recent inspirations have come from the Horizon Report, which looks at up and coming technologies (such as cloud computing, augmented reality, and mobiles), suggests when they may be regularly used in Education, and explains their applications in this area.

Fantastic website
www.arkive.org
I am working hard on my assignments still, extension and all, but had to share this website - it is amazing, and you realise just how amazing it is when you watch the promotional video. You also realise that is has great potential as an educational tool. I look forward to using it in the classroom, or helping/encouraging others to use it. It has received a positive evaluation from me for my ETL501 assignment.
