More EdTech links

Attached are some resources that I think might be useful to the
group's work. Several links connect to recorded presentations of class
sessions and other presentation materials produced in Digital Media
Service's NewMedia Classroom. Together they give an overview of the
NMC's educational support capabilities and a chance to see how others
on campus are making use of these capabilities. I've also listed
several papers that provide useful context and consideration
frameworks.
