Read it "Can New Media Be Taught in Schools?" at http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/can_new_media_be_taught_in_schools.php
Erik Bushey shared a Google Reader item with me from the ReadWriteWeb site. It poses the question should students be taught and tested new media (aka, Web 2.0) software and skills? If nothing else, this is a good topic and discussion starter for faculty and teachers from all walks of life. What do you think?
Good talking point: Can New Media be Taught in Schools? (Should it?)

This is quite possibly one of the coolest ways to "see" your website as your users actually see and use your website. VERY USEFUL tool for anyone having to do some kind of web design/development!
