Edubabble.

Jay Cross has interesting comments on Edubabble. Many of the popular terms being thrown around in education (learning styles, multiple intelligence, brain-compatible learning...most which I link to here. Whether you agree or disagree with the theories, Jay's thoughts are worth exploring. Sometimes, after much abuse, the terms themselves take on different meanings.
I'm in favour of individualized instruction (against clear objectives), variety in learning, flexibility in classrooms...etc. All of these concepts should not be an end to themselves. They should ultimately result in "better" learning, which results in increased competence, which results in better skills/knowledge/ability, which results in a better society. Theories should be a reflection of reality...or a vision for it...not a replacement.

Ghost town, sponsored by Google.

Via Boing Boing, this fascinating and utterly chilling photographic journey through the abandoned ruins of the Chernobyl dead zone.

As an aside, the free hosting provide used by the site appears to be inserting Google ads. Make sure you look out for them as you explore the site; the relevance algorithm gets stretched to the limit.
