The freshest bag of URLs is ready for pickup at
   http://www.mcli.dist.maricopa.edu/eye/bag/curr.html

Help us refill by dropping interesting sites into:
   http://www.mcli.dist.maricopa.edu/eye/bag/drop.html

While we still aim to fill up the Bag of URLs all of these sites
(and more) we are "tagging" and loading into the web bookmark
site "del.icio.us". For example, I have a tag for "olg" that
automatically collects these sites at this URL:
http://del.icio.us/cogdog/olg

and allows by to "syndicate" the most recent ones to the lower left
sidebar of the Ocotillo Online Learning Group:
http://www.mcli.dist.maricopa.edu/ocotillo/olg/

with a more expanded listing also published at:
http://www.mcli.dist.maricopa.edu/ocotillo/olg/resources.php

The beauty of this set up is that the content at those last two
URLs are automaticallu updated everytime I add a new site to my
del.icio.us account. This is the most ideal approach I have seen
to managing a collection of resources that would work wonderfully
for anyone's class or course resource collections-- much better
than manually created web page list of links.

The other thing we are adding to the OLG site (and other MCLI
programs) are podcasts- a subsrciption or listign of recorded audio
from events and presentations. So there is a updated listing of
recorded sessions at OLG meetings:

http://www.mcli.dist.maricopa.edu/ocotillo/olg/podcast.php

as well as general Ocotillo related audios such as presentations from
the recent Ocotillo Learning Spaces Day:

You can look for more OLG podcasts from future meetings as well
as a focus on it at our February 2006 meeting.
