- Can Kindle change the way we read? Explore a great discussion with Dr. Ellen Weber at Brain Based Business as she explores the lastest on the new Kindle ebook reading toy. Lots to ponder about this new reading gadget!

- Bud the Teacher has a powerful article in the English Journal "New Voices" entitled Linkin (B)logs: A New Literacy of Hyperlinks. It is a terrific article speaking about the read/write Web. Definitely worth the read!
