Hi Everyone! I am honored to be a guest blogger here in ISTEConnects! I’ve been working with digital storytelling for a couple of years now, first as a learner, and then as a facilitator. I find the process to be transformational, not only for me but for my students. I learn something new every time I work with students and teachers in this process.

Math Lessons Collaboration Daily 06/27/2009
This wiki will be open during the month of November, 2008 as an accompaniment to our just published EDUCAUSE Review article, Web 2.0 Storytelling: Emergence of a New Genre in which we propose that the new tools and forms of online creation represent a new genre of storytelling and creative expression. We have set this site up partly to add a few additional resources, but more so to engage you in an open discussion where you can push back against our ideas or share more examples.

Earth Science Literacy Initiative - ESLI
Link to "Earth Science Literacy Principles Guide." The Earth Science Literacy framework document of Big Ideas and supporting concepts is a community effort representing the current state-of-the-art research in Earth sciences. It has been written, evaluated, shaped, and revised by the top scientists working in Earth science. Because of its validity, authority, and succinct format, the ESL framework will be influential in a wide variety of scientific, educational, and political settings. Future governmental legislation will be guided by it, and future national and state educational standards will be based upon it. - comment by Brent Petersen

A Calculating Web Site Could Ignite a New Campus 'Math War' - Chronicle.com - Annotated
I love the Wolfram Alpha site, if it does ignite another math war, then I'm OK with it. I think what it means is that we have to ask students different questions, ask them better questions, make them create their own problems, interpret their answers, decide what methods are most efficient and why, but don't stop asking them questions just because some are going to use the available tools.
