- Love this post from the Cool Cat Teacher about the similarities between Fred Astaire and great teachers, probably because I love the associated move clip from Royal Wedding.
- I had Pamela recommended as software for capturing a Skype conversation. I'm going to give it a try and see whether it is a good tool for capturing meaningful discussions. Does anyone else have any experience with this tool?
- Have you seen Memory Archive? It appears to be a Wikipedia-styled accumulation of personal memories -- memories which are in essence primary historical sources. I've been starting to think about how a service like this might be used. Students could be pointed to particular articles and have to analyze the content for accuracy, bias, etc. Or, students could create a history article about something they witnessed or in which they participated. Are there other ideas which I might be missing?
