http://daweed.blogspot.com/2005/11/music-access-and-libraries-still-long.html David King outlines what he’d like from music providers for libraries: digital music for library patrons ability to listen in the library ability to listen at home, using the library’s authentication ability to download to a portable device We need all this to be an annual library system subscription, rather than a normal, individual subscription Excellent list. I’m glad he started this conversation and it’s intriguing the Rhapsody rep “stated that they “probably haven’t considered” that type of model.” I’d be interested in what the other providers (especially Apple’s iTunes) have to say about this model. It’s nice to […]

Lots of 2.0s flying around, yes, but here’s one more. Great post by Will Richardson (one of my blogging heroes) at: http://www.weblogg-ed.com/2005/11/21#a4288 “…what I think most people don’t get when they pick up these tools is that to use them well they have to want to be learners, not just teachers. This isn’t like a textbook or a worksheet or a (fill in your one-dimensional outdated teaching tool here). This is a conversation, (or at least the potential for one) not a monologue or some contrived negotiation of knowledge that ultimately gets tested against what’s been written in a textbook […]
