    Thanks for posting this list, Ken. I'm downloading some of the stuff to test-drive right now!

    I found these at BestBuy when I was I looking for an alternative to ear buds for my little ones. What caught my eye was the reviewers comment about a teacher considering adding them to her classroom supply list. I found them at MacMall for $9.99 with free shipping http://www.macmall.com/p/5784594?dpno=7932923&source=zwb12166 "Have you considered", pitching this to some of your teachers? ;-)

10 Privacy Settings Every Facebook User Should Know - 1 views

  • Conclusion These are just ten ways that you can protect your privacy on Facebook. While there are a few other small things to keep in mind, these ten settings are most important. Keep in mind that while you may have turned off the visibility of many profile sections, there is no way to prevent all photos or videos from being visible if friends of yours make the images visible. The best way to prevent embarrassing items from showing up on Facebook in the future is to not make bad judgements in your personal life. We’re all human though and being completely paranoid about every choice you make is probably not the best way to live your life. Be aware of what privacy settings are available and be conscious of what your friends may be publishing about you. While you may not want to configure all of the privacy settings outlined, simply knowing how to do so is a great step in the right direction. By following the 10 settings listed above you are well on your way to an embarrassment free future on Facebook!

    I figure I'll eventually have to wrap my head around Twitter - so this is a good place to start.

    I'm with you on that Bill. I can't understand the buzz either. But as Siu said in another post, Twitter and other services like it will become increasingly relevant. It seems to be inevitable.

The Site for Books & Readers - Shelfari - 4 views

  •  
    A powerful tool for students. Shelfari integrates reading and social networking. Readers list books they have read, are reading, or want to read "my wish list" - can you say reading logs? The members home page can be configured to look like virtual book shelves. Members can read and post reviews; join groups and communities. In my opinion the ultimate use for shelfari would be creating book clubs, making it a quick comprehension tool.
  •  
    I am glad this site was useful to you.When I found this site, I thought it was such a great alternative to the standard book report that I dreaded as a child. I will be meeting with some teachers to see if this meets their needs in terms of reading logs. I hope so. This is the direction we should be heading. On line reading logs. Yes !!!!

World Atlas HD and The World by National Geographic for iPad Review | Macworld - 0 views

  • Decent atlas apps suffer from missed opportunities $(function(){ $('.zoomLink').lightBox({maxWidth:1200,maxHeight:1200}); }) by Philip Michaels, Macworld.com   timestamp(1332878700000,'longDateTime')Mar 27, 2012 4:05 pm I’ve always enjoyed poring over a good map. Whether it’s thumbing through a road atlas, spinning around a globe, or sticking pushpins into a wall map to designate where I’ve been and where I want to go, I can find countless ways to amuse myself with a well-designed map. So if there’s an app that can bring that experience to the iPad and tell me a little more about the world around me, I’m eager to give it a try.
  • National Geographic Society offers a pair of iPad-optimized atlas apps—World Atlas HD and The World by National Geographic. Both apps deliver the world to your tablet, with an easy-to-control interface and a decent amount of data.
  • he World also includes the nation factboxes found in World Atlas HD, but puts its own twist on the feature. Call up information on Belize, for example, and The World lists population, language, GDP, and other data; it also includes a brief description of the country. But there’s a photos tab as well, offering National Geographic images

    Two iOS apps from National Geographic [optimized for the new iPad], get a 4 mouse rating from Macworld. With these apps you can bring the world to your mobile classroom.
