1000 journals
The goal is to provide methods for people to interact and share their creativity. If you ask a kindergarten class how many of them are artists, they'll all raise their hands. Ask the same question of 6th graders, and maybe one third will respond. Ask high school grads, and few will admit to it.

Programming language theory texts online
Flogo, a new programming language designed to facilitate children’s programming of robot behaviors (and the interesting discussion about visual vs textual prog. languages).
From that discussion, an organized vocabulary (that can be read as one more argument for choosing journal sur le web / joueb over weblog/blog as the buzzword for a mouvement to incite people to write daily in french on the web)

The Fragmentation of Learning
Despite platitudes to the contrary, contemporary society is not a society of individual action. It is a society of mass action: of nations and political parties, of labour unions, trade associations and professional groups, of mass media, broadcasting, assembly lines, religions, fan clubs, and professional sports. It is a society where taking direction is the norm, rather than the exception, and where activities in unison with others far outweigh the actions taken as autonomous agents.
Society is changing because it can. Information and communications technologies, and especially the internet, have made mass individual communication and action possible.
This multiplicity of voices has resulted in a multiplicity of publishers; voters in the 2000 U.S. presidential election, for example, had thousands of points of view to consider, totaling 87 million pages, all within the reach of their desktop.
It is not possible for any individual to read all the information that is available. As a result, people are applying filters to the information they read: they collect, in bookmark files, sites they visit regularly.
