People often ask me where I come up with all the cool toys and such. I thought about making a blogroll, but not all of the places I haunt are blogs, and there are blogs I love for other reasons aside from finding cool tech and toys. So I am making this section for collecting my list. PS – You should also check out Cool Toys (my other tech blog).

I couldn’t find a group on Yammer dedicated to learning technology but wanted to share these links with someone who works in this area.
Also, my daughter was born with CP. She is 24 years old and is in her last year (we hope) at GVSU. If you ever need to share, I understand.

Joy, thanks for all these! There is too much to learn on these topics PERIOD! So many great places. Most of these are new to me, and I really appreciate your sharing them. 🙂 Starting a Yammer group for this is a great idea. I have a Cool Toys Conversations group that meets on campus monthly, email group cooltoysconversations@umich.edu with a separate blog for that at http://cooltoys.posterous.com/ . Starting a Yammer group is a great idea! Thanks for invite and ideas, will talk with you later. 🙂

What about Khan Academy? It started out as a one-man show of just a guy putting up math teaching videos for his cousins, and now it’s used across the world. http://www.khanacademy.org/ Here’s his TED Talk: http://www.ted.com/talks/salman_khan_let_s_use_video_to_reinvent_education.html

Yep, I’m well aware of Khan Academy, and we’ve talked about it several times in the Cool Toys Conversations meetings. It isn’t on this list because it is irrelevant to the purpose of this list, which is sort of a blogroll of places that feed me ideas for this blog. Those tend to be place that focus on new and emerging technologies, and their uses in education, healthcare, and general life. Khan Academy provides videos for personal learning of specific academic topics. Completely different.
