Last month, I wrote a post about the future of widgets and their potential applications in the field of education.  I concluded that the future looks bright for widgets (in the educational arena).  Well, today I see that "PBS Teachers" is introducing something they're calling activity packs, which are widgets offering digital content focused around specific educational themes. Or, as they are calling them, a "growing library of Web-based widgets that contain links to high-quality PBS education resources and activities focused on a specific curricular theme for multiple grade levels."

Somehow I have a feeling that this won't be the last we hear of various educational venues increasing their usage and application of widgets.  Not by a long shot.
