		<title>Email is for Old People</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve just joined another Wetpaint site that seems to offer some interesting considerations of required shifts in communication strategies for educational institutions.&#160; IN terms of communication, what can schools, teachers, administrators learn from students.&#160; While the focus seems to be upon K-12 contexts at this stage, based on recent exprrience I think there is plenty [...]]]></description>

		<title>ABC TV embraces participatory culture</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It has been really interesting to watch Old Aunties attempts to embrace the possibilities of web2.0 and participatory culture.  My favourite show on the one-way-box &#8220;Q&#38;A&#8221; is an excellent example.

It is very engaging to watch the video mash-ups submitted by pensioners and students alike, and hearing the challenging questions from the audience. Even just [...]]]></description>

		<title>The end of static Learning Objects?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Are flash based Learning Objects dead?  They sure are expensive - since 2001 the Teaching &#38; Learning Federation (TLF) has used &#8220;AUD$123 million &#8230;.. divided by 6300 curriculum items. That&#8217;s close to AUD$20,000 for each single (eg, Flash) TLF curriculum item,&#8221; observed Stephen Loosley (Member, Victorian Institute of Teaching) when he opened some excellent discussion [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Kim Flintoff drew the attention of readers of the fantastic West Australian eChalk email list to this video - eSN TechWatch: Preparing Kids for 21st-Century Success.  Kim observed:
Yet another smart person (Daniel Pink) recognises what needs to be done in education &#8211; why don&#8217;t things change?  Interesting that embedded arts is identified as [...]]]></description>

		<title>Learning to change</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This public service campaign video was filmed at the CoSN (Consortium for School Networking) annual conference. The wisdom with which educational leaders like Alan November, Greg Whitby, and Stephen Heppell explicate the urgency of giving teachers the tools to connect with 21C learning and their students is poignant in this video.  The massive task [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Technology now dominates every area of our lives and educators need to make sure they are prepared for its inclusion into our schools.  This may mean making a break from traditional teaching methods; but there is no denying the inevitability of technology being thrust into curricula around the country.

But what if they don&#8217;t have access to the internet that will really equip then as 21C learners when they get home? (I&#8217;ve written more about the Meraki solution on my own blog here.)
