Tom King has put together a list of best newslettes for e-learning. You can see the list here.
Learning. For a change - Excellent e-zine from Allen Interactions with a fun column from Dr. Michael Allen. I love the material and even better for Macromedia that they use Flash and do it so well (Take note of the live poll results, discussion threads, and proper updates of browser URL as you navigate!)
Online Learning News & Reviews - Moderated newsletter where you can post questions and get responses from peers, including corporate training & development staff and elearning consultants. Mixes breaking elearning stories with ideas and comments the latest e-learning practices, processes and products from your peers.
It also reminds me of The Guardian which recently published a list of most popular websites. I picked up my two favorite topics from that list:
Education - Skoool.com is Irish, exported here by Intel; it covers a lot of ground (though has big holes), and will prove handy for pupils studying/revising at home. Nrich has a wealth of intriguing maths activities which extend and enliven the subject. National Archives (the government agency) has put together the huge and cleverly-presented Learning curve. The best new site, though shallow in content as yet, is the National Theatre's Stagework site: nice video clips to support drama. And the prize for neatest, simplest idea has to go to britkid.org, a resource for opening children's eyes to the diversity of our culture.

Reference - The web is often the quickest place to look something up - if you know where to go. If you don't, you can always start with Jim Martindale's Reference Desk, an astonishing collection that has been 10 years in the making. Usually, however, you will probably want to look up a word, a phone number, a place or whatever. For words, try Onelook, which indexes more than 6m words in 981 dictionaries. It also has a "reverse lookup" to find words from their meanings. For longer items, the Concise Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia is online (the Britannica costs money). There are links to the world's online phone books at Teldir, which is now on the Infobel site. Finally, there are maps of just about everywhere at Multimaps.
