Dynamic Wiki-driven OER Search Engine
http://edtechpost.wikispaces.com/OER+Dynamic+Search+Engine So Stephen pointed to a Google Coop engine that Tony Hirst built out of the OER pointers on ZaidLearn’s OER collection page. That’s cool, I’m a google coop/constrained search nut, and knowing Tony, he likely finagled some sweet way of automatically getting the links into the Coop engine.

Revised PLE Images Collection & My Own PLE Illustration
http://www.flickr.com/photos/nessman/2590572476/ The exercise to collect as many PLE diagrams as I could was not an end in itself, as interesting as that might have been. In doing that, I was hoping to learn from how people conceived of their PLEs and use this as the basis for an attempt to illustrate my own PLE. Looking [...]
Help choose the future focus of Edutools
The WCET-supported Edutools site has helped people make better informed educational technology decisions since 2001 (and even before that when it was known as “landonline” after its creator, Dr. Bruce Landon).

Their fantastic MPC demo is simple to add your own clips to and make your own ‘music’ machine. Now you too can remix the eduglu singers! Have fun! – SWL
Come and get 'em – edupunk merit badges
http://edtechpost.wikispaces.com/edupunk+merit+badges In the rush and clamour to define “edupunk” (I mean, sheesh, a freakin’ wikipedia article???) I realized what was missing – Merit Badges! What punk doesn’t love some external validation, a way to show off their true inner edupunk, be part of the club. And so without further ado, we bring you … (and [...]
Collection of PLE Diagrams
http://edtechpost.wikispaces.com/PLE+Diagrams As part of preparations for a workshop this fall on ‘building your own PLE’ I am collecting diagrams of people’s personal learning environments on this wiki page (or even images illustrating how they conceive of them at a purely conceptual level). I do not want to “boil them down” or reduce them all to [...]
