Internet Culture and Educational Change

Hosted by Andy Carvin and PBS teachers, "Learning.now is a weblog that explores how new technology and Internet culture affect how educators teach and children learn. It will offer a continuing look at how new technology such as wikis, blogs, vlogs, RSS, podcasts, social networking sites, and the always-on culture of the Internet are impacting teacher and students' lives both inside and out of the classroom." The organization of this weblog site is fantastic! The top tabs are organized by student level and then, by subject. As if that wasn't keen enough, once you've chosen your grade level and subject, you can search even more specifically by areas of classroom resources (further filtering by topic, media type, and source), discussions, or professional development! This is an absolute must view for teachers who wish to keep abreast of the politics and practice of education in the Internet Age. You can visit the site through this link:
