Education News, Deep-Linking "Educators should be aware of a brewing controversy that soon could limit how they are allowed to connect students to news articles and other copyrighted materials over the internet: Some online publishers, angry about the practice of "deep-linkingä to their web sites, have begun threatening legal action against users of the tactic, calling it a violation of U.S. copyright law"[Serious Instructional Technology] >> Could someone please make these people read Tim Berners-Lee or teach them about the concept of hyperlinking ... or do whatever is necessary to stop this idiocy? 2:55:23 PM

Find It, Read It, Write It Call it what you will - K-log, LMS, CMS, whatever. The fascination for me is in its simplicity, power, flexibility, and... well, fun. It's fun to find stuff that you're interested in, learn about it by reading, and then tell the world (or some portion of it) what you now know. >> Right on, Pat Delaney! Dynamic Webpublishing can be used for personal learning projects of various kinds. There is so much talk about journalism and news aggregation that the blogging community misses the fact that one can even feed items into a Weblog which are completely incomprehensible to a wider audience but still make a lot of sense for an individual learner. It is not all about referers and readership. This depends on the tpye of educational project one wants to carry out. Especially adult learners engage into independent and self-organized learning projects on a regular basis. A personal learning log can be an extremely useful tool... no matter if its author is the only reader or not. 2:35:04 PM

discussing blogs in a mailing list Mailing lists are pre-defined spaces, where everyone's words are made to look identical and the audience is known though changeable. In mailing lists I often feel intimidated by the weight of other peoples' words. So I remain silent. In my blog my audience is both potentially wider and pragmatically more limited. I'm completely confident that bored or uninterested readers will not stay. I love that. For me, blogs are so much more liberating of free discussions than mailing lists. >> Jill Walker compares blogs and mailing lists 1:33:06 AM

Yahoo groups in your news aggregator Somehow I had totally missed this feature of Yahoo Groups. In the case that somebody else might have missed it too, if you submit:http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Group_name/messages?rss=1 to your aggregator, you will get all posts submitted to that group in your favourite news reader. Just subscribed to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/klogs/messages?rss=1 and it works perfectly. Getting rid of more mail! [Paolo Valdemarin: Paolo's Weblog] >> Hey, I had missed this feature too. Thanks Paolo for this useful hint! 12:48:15 AM
