App-xploitation?
New evidence that I should stop using Apple devices: Apple Now Owns the Page Turn - NYTimes.com. But, if they didn't do it, wouldn't someone else? Let's reform patent law... even more!

Selling Magic, Not Technology
"Magical" seems to be the best way to describe technology products in 2010. Behold Apple's iPad: And now Google, upon launching Instant Search, claims that their search tool "should feel like magic" (0:16). Should technology feel like magic? According to the Oxford American Dictionary, magic is "the power of apparently influencing the course of events …
Changing Teaching with Learning.com
"You are innovators" is the message to the teachers at Learning.com's second annual professional development workshop in Portland, Oregon. I'm attending the workshop to learn more about their really interesting new software, Sky. I'm also interested to learn if their message to teachers is accurate, a wishful prediction, a hyperbolic marketing strategy, or something else. Working alongside teachers …
The new low cost of exchanging knowledge
David Dean, founder of Yamisee, gave a great talk about this new, e-learning tool at a EdLab today: Yamisee is a live online learning platform that creates an entirely new marketplace for teachers and subject matter experts to share their knowledge. Much in the way eBay connects buyers with sellers, Yamisee connects independent experts with …
Building a better institutional archive

It's kind of a strange question – it makes more sense if you consider how "Web 2.0" had settled in as a useful framework in our collective imagination. We faced the task of creating a digital …

Please see our features page for more details, but in a nutshell: Pressible is highly "templated" -- meaning that users can't change …
A virtual exhibition that makes you want more
I haven't been to the MOMA in a while, but I just found the James Ensor Exhibition website which more or less offers a 'virtual' version of the show (and serves as a rich online ad). I felt it gave me a ton of information, and also made me want to go to the real …
After Ed TV is launched
After Ed TV is the new home of EdLab's nascent web video channel. We designed this site to serve as an archive of past episodes, but also as a destination for upcoming promotional efforts. Our primary goal at this point is to see if we can get other organizations to post our multi-video player on …
Sociable media development with MIT
MIT's Sociable Media Group looks like an interesting bunch of people. I like the Webbed Footnotes project, where one can "annotate web pages with comments and can read and reply to the annotations left by others." I think the existence of groups just like this one suggest a course of action for EdLab's software development …
