Brian B, a technology coordinator for a public school district in TX, comments about Web 2.0 (EduApps) applications as more than mimicking mainstream Web 2.0 applications.

EduApps have a valid role in teaching and learning. We should evaluate them just like we would mainstream applications and apply them as most appropriate for our students, in our schools, and within our communities (both physical and virtual). We should utilize technologies as they become available because we are preparing students jobs that haven't been created yet.

Brian knows the people who created Teacher Tube, and describes it as a niche that provides a place for educators to find/posts videos that are intended for educational use. Both Brian's and the TeacherTube sites are worth monitoring as part of a context for using Tablet PCs, UMPCs, and other mobile PCs in schools. Did you notice the Teacher Tube motto: "Teach the World"? Now, that's ambition!

Thanks, Brian, for the reminders.
