When I'm doing math homework, I just really go fast and crazy, and in the end I still don't understand it, really. It's just a lot of pressure. And it shows: I'm always tired in class, because I spent all my night doing my homework! Teachers don't see "Vivian totally understands that." They see "Vivian did her homework." - vivian (Fires in the Mind)
HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) -- For incoming freshmen at western Connecticut's suburban Brookfield High School, hefting a backpack weighed down with textbooks is about to give way to tapping out notes and flipping electronic pages on a glossy iPad tablet computer.
In an effort to make it easier for YouTube users to make changes to their videos after uploading them, YouTube is rolling out a brand new video editor.
No, this isn't the standalone video editor meant for splicing together clips from multiple videos that's been available in the service's TestTube labs since last year. Instead, it's a new one designed to give users a way to do quick fixes without having to re-upload the video. It's like a retouching tool for photos, but for non-commercial video.

"The web today is a growing universe of interlinked web pages and web apps, teeming with videos, photos, and interactive content. What the average user doesn't see is the interplay of web technologies and browsers that makes all this possible.
Over time web technologies have evolved to give web developers the ability to create new generations of useful and immersive web experiences. Today's web is a result of the ongoing efforts of an open web community that helps define these web technologies, like HTML5, CSS3 and WebGL and ensure that they're supported in all web browsers."
"Death to the Digital Dropbox: Rethinking Student Privacy and Public Performance
Death to the Digital Dropbox: Rethinking Student Privacy and Public Performance
By Patrick R. Lowenthal and David Thomas
* Requiring students to submit work privately using a digital dropbox (or even worse, e-mail) can be a destructive pedagogical practice.
* Students benefit from public performance and public critique because people have to perform in the "real world" and are regularly subject to critique.
* Online faculty should strive to incorporate authentic, real-world types of experiences in the online courses they teach - including public performance and the accompanying public feedback. "
