Columnists, Reading Responses, Technology, Tools, Web 2.0, Websites

I’m behind on posting last week’s links, so I’ll get to them first thing this morning. From my Google Reader:

• Instructional Design - If - When - How Much from The Learning Circuits Blog Yet someone else inspired by Cammy Bean at Learning Visions. I’ll need to post on this one by itself.
• Create A Webquest Or Online Scavenger Hunt With Zunal from Larry Ferlazzo’s Websites Of The Day For Teaching ELL, ESL, & EFL I have got to try this one out.
• Can your SKYPE do that? from GO2WEB20 Blog Orli Yakuel writes: “Israel-based startup ooVoo, is a face-to-face client desktop communication. It’s combining emails, IM and Internet phone all together . . . “
• 20+ Ways to Get Rid of Your Debt for Good from Dumb Little Man - Tips for Life Is there anyone who couldn’t use this advise?
• 25 Basic Styles of Blogging from Cool Cat Teacher Blog I had a post, Which blog are you?, on this one last week.
• Instructional Designer as Consultant? from Learning Visions I think this one inspired one of my longest posts to date: This one’s for you, Cammy Bean! Or is the role of instructional designer changing?
• Top 100 Tools for Learning 2008: the first cut from Jane’s E-Learning Pick of the Day Last year I posted my top ten, but I need to update that list this year.

And those from my del.icio.us account:

• Howcast Howcast is a kind of YouTube for How-to videos.
• Learning 2.0 eBook - Free | Mission to Learn I’m interested in what the term “Learning 2.0″ means, and how they justify coining a new term for learning.  Isn’t learning learning?
• ZaidLearn: Learning Technologies (250+ Articles!) A post linking to a database of over 250 articles from Learning Technologies magazine.
• Open Thinking & Digital Pedagogy » History of Educational Technology (Dr. Richard Schwier) Um, the history of EdTech from Rick Schwier . . .
• History Of Educational Technology Dr Richard Schwier (video/mp4 Object) A video of Rick talking about the same as above.
• Best Practices of Technology Integration A BOATLOAD of integration ideas for teachers from the Berrien County Intermediate School District in Michigan. They also have extensive classroom resources .
• SciVee | Pioneering New Modes of Scientific Dissemination Here you can create a pubcast of your research and share it.  Is this like a grown-up Voicethread?
