Learning with the Fang

Some things of interest noticed in the first week of May, 2008.

• news on nanotechnology transistors, nanoassembly machines and single photons
• Jean Claude Bradley (again), LISE08 talk on Second Life in the Chemistry Classroom (which inspired my playful discovery of some wonderful 3D molecular models from second life to a range of other sources).
• NPR Science Friday broadcast on Nanoscale Radio
• Several intro jingles from Australian podcasts interesting to the higher education sector

Roughly ten minutes of snippets from podcasts I have heard recently that might be relevant to Higher Education. My aim is to stimulate discussion around the impact of the read/write web on research and teaching & learning.
