I'm about to head for the annual conference again, this time in Orlando. Watch this space for news.

Session on netbooks quite fun. Vincennes (IN) U is using even for some CAM apps. Perkins grant bought them. I'm now back on campus.

Just came from a session that described a potential network exclusively for professors who teach -- open source sharing.

Academic Support: Have you looked at SMARTHINKING online tutoring? http://www.smarthinking.com/ Click Sample Tutorials near the top of page.

My favorite so far is http://en.eyeplorer.com/show/. Drag the Harry Potter name into the search box at the center and watch. It is cool.

http://www.freebase.com/ and http://www.eqentia.com/ also are worth exploring.

Try a search on http://hakia.com. It searches "curated" data so the results are really good sources. I tried (no surprise) Jane Austen

Try the Semantic Web Gang http://semanticgang.talis.com/. many podcasts

Web 3.0 or Semantic Web. Try http://www.twine.com/ to see what a targeted search looks like.

http://web3ln.ning.com/ is John Wolff's learning network site. Lots of good stuff; join up if you want to learn more about the Semantic Web

I am about to give you a bunch of URLs for Web 3.0 exploration, including a Learning Network created by John Wolff of West Shore comm coll.

Media streaming in our future? We can profit from Macomb's experience with their project. Excellent project advice.

Wikis in the class? Participated in a lab where we built a Wiki and discussed using Wikis for group projects in particular.
