Overview of Educational Technology
http://www.worldbridges.com/livewire/?cat=3
In this pilot episode of EdTech Talk, we try to frame the issues of educational technologies. We discussed what educational technology means, discussed some of the most commonly used open source and commercial pieces of educational software, and how this medium of homegrown interactive webcasting can support those using ed tech.

A Warning to Students of All Ages
http://www.notbored.org/avertissement.html
"The school, the family, the factory, the barracks, and, by proxy, the hospital and the prison, have been the inevitable passages by which commodity society has bent to its profit the destiny of the so-called 'human' being."

Krishnamurti on Education
http://www.krishnamurtiaustralia.org/articles/education.htm
from Education and the Significance of Life, Chapter 2 'The Right Kind of Education': "1 THE ignorant man is not the unlearned, but he who does not know himself, and the learned man is stupid when he relies on books, on knowledge and on authority to give him understanding. Understanding comes only through self-knowledge, which is awareness of one's total psychological process. Thus education, in the true sense, is the understanding of oneself, for it is within each one of us that the whole of existence is gathered."

The Inverse Power of Praise.
http://nymag.com/news/features/27840/
"A growing body of research — and a new study from the trenches of the New York public-school system — strongly suggests it might be the other way around. Giving kids the label of 'smart' does not prevent them from underperforming. It might actually be causing it." ... "Some were praised for their intelligence. They were told, 'You must be smart at this.' Other students were praised for their effort: 'You must have worked really hard.'" ... Those praised for their intelligence gave up easily; those praised for their effort tackled harder tasks.

"... there is a whole new generation of students out there that are wired up differently than the people teaching them,” Reed said. 'This will give that new generation an opportunity to access information in a way they want, which will help them learn and be successful in public education.'"
