Challenge-based learning (CBL) is similar to problem-based learning, but with CBL, students formulate the challenges they will address. Through a process of discussion and research, students identify a selection of questions that might be workable for their project, work on solutions, and publish those solutions online.

There are more than a trillion Web pages on the Internet. This incredible abundance of information and the ease with which it can be searched sometimes fails to counteract the confusing chorus of anonymous sources.
In his new book Too Big to Know, Harvard researcher David Weinberger articulates this ambivalence while celebrating the Internet’s ability to change the way we come to know things.
“We are in a crisis of knowledge,” he writes, “at the same time that we are in an epochal exaltation of knowledge.

I know many feel so overwhelmed already with their workload; there just simply isn’t any time to implement new techniques.
These are all very real and valid concerns. In fact, we discussed this topic on our school district’s communications television show that I produce, Ladue Schools Today.

We need to start envisioning our teachers as knowledge generators and creative professionals whom we trust to innovate and implement unorthodox ideas that might transform teaching and learning. The time has come to reward innovation among our best and most creative teachers. They should be given the time and resources to reflect on their practice, experiment with new ideas, and implement strategies to more effectively engage learners. Via Peter John Baskerville

Three organisations have collaborated in the hopes of producing a global e-learning material quality control system.
The Learning Agency Network (LANETO), the Agence Wallonne des Télécommunication (AWT) and the e-Learning Quality Service Center (eLQSC) have begun developing the label, which they hope will become an internationally recognized method of differentiating between software in an increasingly bloated online market.

It is hard to believe all of the connections that I have been able to make since I started building my Personal Learning Network (PLN) last spring. I could never have a imagined the value that a PLN would add to my role as a school administrator. It has changed things significantly for me.

INHOPE Hotlines offer the public a way of anonymously reporting Internet material including child sexual abuse material they suspect to be illegal. The Hotline will ensure that the matter is investigated and if found to be illegal the information will be passed to the relevant Law Enforcement Agency and in many cases the Internet Service Provider hosting the content.
All INHOPE member Hotlines must comply with a set of best practices. Included in this is the Code of Practice.
INHOPE is the International Association of Internet Hotlines. INHOPE coordinates a network of Internet Hotlines all over the world, supporting them in responding to reports of illegal content to make the Internet safer.
INHOPE was founded in 1999 and has grown to a network of 40 Hotlines across the globe. This was achieved with funding and support from the European Commission under the Safer Internet Program. In recent years Internet usage & connectivity have grown rapidly. It has changed the way we communicate, the way we do business and ultimately the way we live.
Sadly there are those who use this technology for illegal activities especially spreading Child Sexual Abuse Material.

Content Curation - Best Practices
Content curation has become a hot topic in 2012.
Corrine Weisgerber, an associate professor at St. Edwards University, has an excellent presentation on content curation.
She differentiates content curation from content aggregation--content aggregation can be automated but content curation requires the human touch for finding, evaluating and contextualizing information.

An excerpt from Sir Ken Robinson's talk, "Changing Education Paradigms."
"...The problem is they are trying to meet the future by doing what they did in the past. And on the way they are alienating millions of kids who don't see any purpose in going to school. When we went to school we were kept there with the story, which is if you worked hard and did well and got a college degree you'd have a job.
Our kids don't believe that and they are right not to..." Via Pilar Pamblanco
