Here in 60 Seconds
I have so much I would like to say about infographics, but I felt I needed to put this infographic on my blog ASAP. I have just returned home from ISTE 2011 and my head is spinning. I always hate going back to work the day after this conference, because I am in quite a daze (good daze, but a daze all the same). There are ideas, people, inspirations, future creations all running through my head, and I really need to sort them out. OK, with that, I have used 60 seconds to type these words, and in that same time, so much has happened! For better and for worse, the world is moving faster than ever, and educators need to teach to generations of children who are accustomed to moving at this pace.

Excellent analysis/recommendations about what really is and isn't required by US law regarding student work online. Best lines are the last paragraph: These laws were passed to keep children safe, not keep children out of the 21st century. With a little common sense we can ensure schools are not committing educational neglect by keeping students stuck in the past.

skills4studycampus is a fully interactive e-learning resource, which will help students develop the study skills they need to be successful and is suitable for students on all courses and in any year of study.
Pegby: Peg it up, Move it Around, Get it Done.
Pegby wants you to stop using those sticky notes that seem to be everywhere on and around your work desk, and instead use their cards and stacks to manage tasks. Their task management board is divided into mainly three columns – pending, in process and done (you can add more columns if you need them), and in each column you can add cards which are basically tasks and their descriptions. Different cards (tasks) can be combined together into a named stack, each card or stack can be dragged or dropped across columns. You can also invite people and jointly create and manage tasks.
Each card can be customized in various ways. Its color can be changed, it can be tagged and much more. There’s a way to filter your board too if you think it’s full of clutter.
Features:
* Manage tasks through online cards and stacks.
* Have family members use it along with you.
* Add columns to the board, drag and drop cards.
* Similar tools: Corkboard, Pindax and WallWisher.Ask Not What Twitter Can Do For You---Ask What you Can Do For Twitter by Nikki Robertson on Prezi

Looking for eResources that don’t break the library budget?
"At the recent Excellence in Learning Resources forum meeting in York we had a good discussion about the various eCollections libraries across the Yorkshire & Humber region currently provide for their learners. With so many libraries facing serious cutbacks, providing good quality eResources that don’t put too much of a dent in the library budget is as important as ever."
