• Collaborative eLearning and mLearning Creation – A collaborative SaaS solution for developing eLearning? I'm anxious to try it out!
• eLearning Technology: Flash Dead for eLearning – This has HUGE implications for e-learning developers. I have been uncomfortable with Flash based on the fact that its closed design undermines SEO and network effects. Apples lack of support continues to concern me as learning goes mobile (and the world goes iPad). And now that Adobe is dropping Flash for HTML5 it is time for us all to re-think our e-learning development foundations.
• Why we crave creativity but reject creative ideas – Some science to back up the resistance we all encounter when leading change or introducing new ideas.

• Friends Don’t Let Friends Take Education Advice From Peter Thiel – Peter Thiel's experiment is certainly raising hackles here and there.  It will be interesting to see how it plays out.  I do agree with his "education bubble" thesis, but I don't know that his experiment makes sense or will prove anything.
• Ruby for kids – I haven't tried it out yet but this site is building good buzz for helping kids unleash their inner developer.

To practice science in the classroom calls for problem- and project-based lessons, as well as considerable social interaction."

That’s because the nature of information is such that it can be created once at cost and distributed and consumed over and over again for free."
