Chris Lott's "From Plato to Perl: the Problem of Sociality and the 'Idea' " Presentation

Here are some resources from Chris Lott's visionary concluding keynote presentation this morning at the 2009 Teaching w/ Technology Idea Exchange. This is an inspiring and thought provoking address, at a distinctly different level of thinking than the usual educational technology ideas.

The Handbook on Emerging Technologies for Learning

Finally, a little great publicity for George Siemens (@gsiemens) and The Learning Technologies Centre at the University of Manitoba, as The Chronicle does an article on their terrific online wiki-based Handbook of Emerging Technologies for Learning.
