ISTE Outside Aisle 2010

In 2004, I started a personal NECC (ISTE) tradition. I called it the OutSide Aisle Vendor Award and it was intended to recognize one of the smaller businesses or organizations that offered their product or service from the outside aisle. This year’s award goes to University of Colorado’s PhET Interactive Science Simulation project. The simulations are free and the project supported by impressive sponsors; NSF, Hewlett Foundation, and King Saud University. My wife is involved in a STEM grant focused on the use of simulations in science education and pleased to locate this resource. The one possible downside for her – the simulations are flash based and she just purchased multiple iPads for the project.

Use Paper.li for your ISTE morning read

Paper.li takes Twitter data and fashions into a single display resembling a newspaper. You create a free account and in this case enter the tag (#iste2010) you want the service to use in collecting information. The screen capture below shows part of the resulting display.

Of course, my example was selected to take advantage of the interest in the ISTE conference and the tool could be used to follow whatever specific topic you like.
