On the Cutting Edge: Fly in 3D through Images

What if you could have students participate in a service learning project or field trip, document the experience in images, and then share the images in such a way so a user could fly in the environment in 3D? What if you have students from multiple classes document the same learning opportunity, and then could "knit" the photos together for a powerful visual experience or project? Students could then revisit and reflect upon the experience in richer ways. For a way-too-cool experience, visit http://labs.live.com/photosynth/video.html. What possibilities do you see?

Export OneNote Pages as Interactive Web Site

Everywhere I go, people are talking about using OneNote in the classroom. No question, OneNote is a powerful tool for educators. Using the OneNote Web Exporter, you can publish your OneNote notebook as an interactive webpage. What's more, you can add this functionality for free. You can find the download and all users guide at CodePlex.
