Mind Shift
If you still know what something called carbon paper is, you've already lived through a revolution in the world of education and educational tools. And you know, it's not over. MindShift focuses on the future of learning — cultural and technology trends, research into learning, education policy and more.
The site is frequently updated with links to informative videos and cool educational tools you can use right now: "boredom buster" apps, sites and toys like School26, a game aimed at girls from the female-run video game studio Silicon Sisters.
Hosted by KQED (a public television station in California), the site is curated by Tina Barseghian, a journalist and mother of a grade-schooler.
