Assorted links from the conference

[yendi]

Interesting links from MoodleMoot (not counting the direct Moodle info, which I'll probably post tonight or tomorrow; I just want to finally close some tabs):

1. The Widescreen plug-in for Mail.app.

2. Alternatives to Microsoft Telescope (read the comments, too, as they mention Celestia, which I use and like).

3. Emulating the XO Laptop's interface (related: Sugar, the XO's desktop environment).

4. Simple English Wikipedia

5. The Participatory Panopticon -- how individuals can aggregate their data into a collective whole. Or, as Jamais Cascio just called it, "the capacity to document your life." Which then changes how we relate to others.

6. Wikislices -- offline subject areas of Wikipedia.

7. Remember, Only You Can Prevent Gray Goo.

8. Planet Hazard -- Google Maps mashup tracking pollution.

9. Hypercard: The Revenge.

10. The "hole in the wall" experiment -- kids exposed to a computer, with no prior knowledge and no resources but each other, can quickly learn to find information.

11. More web natterings on the Edupunk concept.

I tend to use Planet Hazard in my research and think they are doing a great job presenting some of the data from www.rtknet.org.

HyperCard's back?! Dude! To whom do I owe sexual favors for this?
