• 2008-2009 Walden University Graduate Catalog - Curriculum

  Walden’s new catalog is available online. Scroll down to (or search for) the “Educational Technology Specialization” to see the new curriculum, including an increased focus on preparing students to lead and design distance education courses. It almost makes me wish I could take some of the new courses. ;)

  Lucy Gray tipped me off to this cool way to download YouTube videos on a Mac. Apparently it is less hassle than using Download Helper on Firefox.

• AllVoices

  Via Kathy Jacobs. This seems like a great concept and a thriving site: “The first open media site where anyone can report from anywhere.”

• Google Student Blog

  Via Lucy Gray. This looks like a fantastic idea, but there’s only one post so far so time will tell. It’s a blog for students by Google. It promises to include tips for students and to be participatory in a way as well.

• Photosynth

  Victor Guthrie, IT Director at Laguna Beach USD, just sent this to me. It looks like a cool new service - sort of like a 3D version of Animoto (without the music). Let me know if you like it - it’s Windows only and I’m working on my Mac today. :(

• Custom Video: Google Reader in Plain English | Common Craft - Explanations In Plain English

  This has been linked to often in the last 24 hours or so, but I want it easily accessible to my readers, too. It’s the latest installment in Common Craft’s excellent video series. Each video explains a technical tool in non-technical terms (with quaint but effective “paper” animation). In this case, the team explains the use of Google Reader. Cool.

• reQall: What’s reQallI haven’t tried this yet, but it looks like a possible alternative to Jott, which just started charging (and which the teachers in my multimedia workshop just learned about today). It also looks like it might play the roll of Remember the Milk or I Want Sandy. Let me know what you think if you’ve tried it.tags: audio, tools, productivity

• Fire Uploader

  I have another new favorite Firefox extension… among other things, Fire Uploader can mass upload documents to Google Docs - just like an old school FTP program. Now you can “move into” the cloud by dragging and dropping.
