Educational Treasures from the Internet

We're just going to get right into this: I'm going to share with you some of my favorite websites and findings that you should know more about. Can't go wrong with that kind of deal. We'll start with some links to places that go beyond just discussions on computer science and education:

Science Blogs
A collection of science/education/technology blogs that are maintained by professionals, professors, and university graduate students. Every blog has a unique focus on a particular topic and is a great way to stay on top of the current literature and ideas in terms that are abit easier to swallow than journal abstracts.

TED Talks: Ideas worth spreading
TED Talks are presentations by leaders in their chosen fields. Think YouTube if it went to college. Has a variety of topics and presenters to take a look at. If you've never heard of TED Talks before, you owe it to yourself to watch Sir Ken Robinson on how we're failing to educate the whole child.

Shift Happens
Not so much a website than an educational/informational movement, "Shift Happens" is the title of a video montage that explores how our world has changed how we communicate and view one another in a technologically advancing world. It's a great "shift" from thinking computer science to global issues such as multicultural tolerance and equity.

And to end at some type of high-water mark, here is a YouTube video from the rock star of the astronomy world: Carl Sagan's Pale Blue Dot.
