Firefox Tweak
Firefox Tweak
This tweak will increase the speed of your Firefox browser - in my case, it almost doubled the speed. Basically, what it does is to allow Firefox to download multiple objects at once. More...

Internet to ITU: Stay Away from My Network
Internet to ITU: Stay Away from My Network
These days I wonder whether our open internet is soon to be a thing of the past. There is no real need for open communication on the part of those content, software and telecommunications companies controlling large parts of the net.

Does Technology Enhance Inquiry-Based Learning?
Does Technology Enhance Inquiry-Based Learning?
This paper tries overly hard to be balanced, and in so doing obscures its most important observation: "If we expect all research studies on education innovations to provide a simple 'thumbs-up or thumbs-down', we are likely to avoid research methods that can yield important insights into the complexities of implementing major innovations in our schools." The context is discussion of the evaluation of the eMINTS program, a combination of learning technologies with constructivist methodology. More...

2005: The Year of the Digital Campus
2005: The Year of the Digital Campus
I don't have a lot of faith in these predictions, despite their pedigree (the author is the V.P. of Education and Global Research at Sun Microsystems).

Well maybe one day, but not next year. More...
