Online maps provide a whole new spectrum of possibilities when it comes to mapping and interacting with data. Exciting new opportunities exist for geography, history, and social studies teachers to have their students find new ways to interact with distant places or the world around them. New Graphical Information Systems (GIS) in particular are transforming the ways that people interact with representations of space. Broadly speaking, GIS include methods that use and present quantitative spatial relationships based on data and are employed in various ways, including cartography, geography, land planning and surveying, and other objectives.

"For students, the classroom environment is very important. The size of the classroom and interior areas, the colors of the walls, the type of furniture and flooring, the amount of light, and the room arrangement all influence how students learn.

Language arts teachers are now pushing the definition of literacy to include the ability to express ideas through media. This report, "Multimedia Transformation," examines the many ways multimedia tools are transforming teaching and learning as schools work to raise achievement and prepare students for careers that require increasingly sophisticated uses of technology.

A New Culture of Learning by Doug Thomas & John Seely Brown
The 21st century is a world in constant change. In A New Culture of Learning, Douglas Thomas and John Seely Brown pursue an understanding of how the forces of change, and emerging waves of interest associated with these forces, inspire and invite us to imagine a future of learning that is as powerful as it is optimistic. Our understanding of what constitutes "a new culture of learning" is based on several basic assumptions about the world and how learning occurs:

Stop Meeting and Start Connecting and Sharing | Edutopia
"Do you ever wonder why we still have faculty meetings? Do you ever walk away from a meeting feeling refreshed and energized about what you just heard? Do you approach these meetings with excitement and genuine wonderment?
To me, a meeting is a very basic transfer of information. It usually involves a speaker or speakers distributing information to an audience of consumers who sit and passively take notes. What's missing? Audience engagement, processing, conversation, interaction, and collaboration -- all the valuable elements of learning. " -

"This project was created by Emily Adams (biology) and Thomas Cooper (technology) of the Walker School. The project asks students to collect data on vernal ponds near there school over a period of time to understand how the changing water levels in these ponds affects this small community. Students collect data on pH, temperature, water levels, nitrates, phosphates, dissolved oxygen, and biological diversity. Students create a Google spreadsheet of their data, use formulas to calculate statistical data, create charts to visualize changes in their data over time, and then share their data with other student groups. Students then use Google Docs to collaboratively write and peer review lab reports on their data. Students use Google Sites (wiki) to collaborate on building a web portal where students can learn about the general health of seasonal ponds and their changing environments. We are currently building an accompanying layer in Google Earth to help us visualize the data from other schools."

WebP is a new image format that provides lossy compression for photographic images. In a large scale study of 900,000 web images, WebP images were 39.8% smaller than jpeg images of similar quality.
A WebP file consists of VP8 image data, and a container based on RIFF. The standalone libwebp library serves as a reference implementation for the WebP specification and is available at this git repository and as a tarball. Webmasters and web developers can use the WebP image format to create smaller and better looking images that can help make the web faster. -
