Virtual World Learning Spaces: Developing a Second Life Operating Room Simulation (EDUCAUSE Quarterly) | EDUCAUSE
By Stephanie Gerald and David M. Antonacci A real-world approach to virtual learning spaces brings similar constraints on the types of teaching and learning possible in the virtual spaces. An alternative approach is to develop virtual learning spaces for specific instructional needs.
I don't dream in numbers, but if I did, I'm pretty sure it'd look a lot like this. In Nature by Numbers , a short movie by Cristobal Vila , inspired by, well, numbers and nature, Vila animates the natural existence of Fibonacci sequences, the golden ratio, and Delaunay triangulation. Watch it. Even if you don't know what those three things are, the video will rock your socks off.

5 Higher Ed Tech Trends To Watch in 2011 -- Campus Technology
There's no doubt that students have become more mobile in terms of the technology they're using, and colleges seem determined to keep up with that trend. David Stoloff, a professor in Eastern Connecticut State University's education department, said the Willimantic, CT school has embraced the notion of "laptops and mobile devices in class" to the point where it's implemented interactive portfolio assessment technology to help maximize the trend. "We're not quite at the point of every student using a laptop in class, but we're definitely getting there," said Stoloff, who added he expects the mobile trend to take an even stronger hold on higher education in 2011. "It provides a great way to supplement classroom instruction in a productive manner."
If you want to know how old you really are, look at the media you use rather than the generation you were born into. Generational labels are important in the discussion of the changing workforce. For example, we need to understand who is pushing for change and who is criticizing change in order to understand how to create workplace bridges.
What generation are you part of, really? Take this test. | Penelope Trunk's Brazen Careerist
Why Gen Y Can't Do Your Job Better Than You Can | BNET
The most successful executives and business leaders challenge conventional wisdom, don't put up with BS, and certainly don't base anything important on popular myths. Neither should you. Last month, popular blogger Penelope Trunk made a case for "Why Gen Y Is Better at Your Job Than You Are."
For-Profit Ed Goes To The Head Of The Class - Forbes.com
Let's face it: Limiting competition and driving up costs is a death sentence for any business, not to mention the fact that the ripple effect--regardless of the product or service--impacts all the other industries that depend on it. Why then, has the government proposed regulation that will limit growth and increase costs in the one sector that contributes to the success of every single industry in America? I'm referring to higher education; specifically, to the for-profit universities that play an important role in our country's economic recovery, growth and employment, while contributing to our competition and success in the international marketplace. The for-profit education industry has been the center of some very recent heated legislative debates, thanks largely to the bad business practices of a few bad seeds. I am frankly disappointed and dismayed at the recruiting and marketing practices of many of these well-known and high-profile institutions.W elcome to the Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain Website!

Spectacle: Elvis Costello with... | Home | Sundance Channel
SPECTACLE: ELVIS COSTELLO WITH... fuses the best elements of talk and music television and invites viewers to enjoy an intimate conversation between host Costello and his guests, punctuated by rare musical performances.
There is much talk (chatter) about 21st century skills – even OECD is trying to define what those skills for “jobs that have not yet been created, using technologies that have not yet been invented, to solve problems that cannot be foreseen”. This statement is silly. It is my main critique with the emotional-feel-good message of Ken Robinson’s focus on creativity . First, we need to get over the view that our generation is astonishingly unique.
