This week’s newest set of googled links are to variety of sites that make great use of visuals to further the understanding of scales of magnitude, some great educational resources lie within…

This experimental site form 2000 (MLX Item #372), a multi-user application designed to teach students the interplay of variables in the Ideal Gas law, has been getting a fair bit of action lately. Check it out.

I’ve noticed quite often as I read more blogs, that people are blogging on another person’s blog on an original post… Why do they not go to the bother to credit the source?
Here is one example from Xplana that not only mangles the credit, but does a crappy link job.

Well it was not easy but with a little help with this link sent by D’Arcy Norman, I have managed to set up separate RSS feeds for the category areas of this site…

Just to keep up, here is some summary blog action referring to our work here on Learning Objects and RSS (Too bad Manila/Radio users do not have their entries coded internally to be recognized via autodiscover, and cannot be TrackBacked)…
And it has been only about a week or two since the dabbling really got started.

More to come here in the nest few weeks as some new efforts get under way in the area of Electronic Portfiolios. For now, see the 100+ resources collected for our October 18, 2003
ePortfolio Dialogue Day

Part of (maybe) a regular feature here is a preset “Google-link” that produces results relevant to CDB… Coming soon will be a simple guide site to doing this for yourself, but it is just about the easiest, simplest, and most effective way to share external information without researching yourself…

MT Plugins is very useful collection of addition tools for Movable Type for those that are setting up an MT site, all free. I’ve added two so far and plan to go back for more…

With some help from “Lora” (my psuedonym), we learn how the MLX has added custom, dymamic RSS feeds that directly match a search result.

Meet my second learning object blogger, Boris the humanities teacher.
He also finds the same correlation meter blogged by Lora, and ads an entry to his own blog- essentially he has a different use for the same LO.
And thus, one object in our collection can be networked to places where it is referenced:
