Check out Andrew Lustig’s YouTube video, My Child, The Holocaust Denier:

50% of 11 year olds have their own cell phone. Seriously? One of my favorite resources, the Harvard Business Review, has a blog that continually amazes me. Check out the recent post on how mobile technologies are shaping a new generation.
Did you know that the Jewish Book Council has curated book lists including ones for YA books, Social Justice and Jewish Leadership (which, no surprise, is curated by Dr. Hal Lewis of Spertus Institute for Jewish Studies)? The lists can be accessed here (and let them know if you have any suggestions for others).
Ya gotta love an interview that features a quote like this: “Inquiry is really the secret to allowing ownership of the learning for kids in a K-12 setting or for adults in adult learning settings.” Oh yeah!! Digital Media and Learning has a scrumptious interview with Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach (who partnered with EdTech rock star Will Richardson to found the Powerful Learning Practice Network) here.
