- Looks like MIT is going to get a some compitition from Yale in the Open Course field. As more and more top univiersities start opening up their classes what does this mean for public education and specifically high school education? Can a high school Psycology teacher compete with an professor from Yale? Or doe they learn to use the online course to enhance their own teachings?

Open Yale Courses provides free and open access to seven
introductory courses taught by distinguished teachers and scholars at
Yale University. The aim of the project is to expand access to
educational materials for all who wish to learn.

- A great post on twitter as a village. People often say they “don’t get twitter” and I agree with this article. It takes a critical mass to understand the power behind it. Personal connections are great as well. With my 586 followers I’ve got a critical mass that allows me to learn 24/7 to tap into that village when I need to. Make the village work for you I say!

How does Twitter shift from idiotic to amazing? It takes a village – a critical mass of interesting people – to read and write to. When my brain started to connect with the brains (and hearts) of others, it got really, REALLY cool for me. You may be looking for like minds, or you may want to be totally shaken up by new ideas. Both work. One day I suddenly realized this was, for me, tribe-finding. For arguably the first time in my life I didn’t feel as weird and different.
