Troves to sift through

Another side benefit of the CeLC conference at UBC was the lengthy list of potentially rich resources to spend time sifting through. Some worthy additions to my treasure hunting trove:

And here are some additions to my treasure-hunting list:

Smarthistory:  a free multi-media web-book designed as a dynamic enhancement (or even substitute) for the traditional art history textbook 

Zeum:  San Francisco's hands-on arts & technology museum where kids can explore animation, sound & video production, live performance, and visual arts

School of Everything:  a British site that is the online version of a learning web (Freire or?) you can sign up as a teacher or student of anything.

826 Valencia:   the name and address of a nonprofit writing workshop and tutoring center in San Francisco, United Stateshttp://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/dave_eggers_makes_his_ted_prize_wish_once_upon_a_school.html
