First Monday

First Monday was one of the first peer reviewed open-access journals on the internet--about the internet. While not "typically" associated with education, its goal is to better understand the internet's impact on society, so it does sometimes feature stories on education and technology--for example, the August 2007 article "Beyond Google: How Do Students Conduct Academic Research?"

Accessible Tech for All

(ATFA)"

Using Wikis in Education

"Stewart Mader is Wiki Evangelist for Atlassian Software Systems. He also publishes the blog Using Wiki in Education, which focuses on using the wiki for collaborative curriculum development and group learning, and includes interviews with wiki makers and users, example wiki uses, and product reviews. In October 2006, he published a wikibook containing 10 wide-ranging case studies from teachers using the wiki to transform courses and engage today’s students. This is the first book to focus specifically on the wiki in education and be developed and published using a wiki, so it actively demonstrates the tool in action."
