Speaking of-books, anyone have a Kindle? I'd love some feedback. I really want one, but am worried the reading experience won't be as satisfying as a traditional book!

Getting It Wrong: Surprising Tips on How to Learn: Scientific American - 0 views

shared by William Russo on 24 Oct 09 - Cached

People remember things better, longer, if they are given very challenging tests on the material, tests at which they are bound to fail. In a series of experiments, they showed that if students make an unsuccessful attempt to retrieve information before receiving an answer, they remember the information better than in a control condition in which they simply study the information. Trying and failing to retrieve the answer is actually helpful to learning.

Interesting talk. What happens when the "flat" world gets flatter and students from all over the world continue to surpass ours AND their connected with laptops?

"Help a child connect with the world." That says it all. I also like the idea of putting more emphasis on programming rather than apps. Programming requires a different way of thinking that is often under emphasized

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 !!!!

He envisioned that telepresence would allow the district to participate in cultural exchanges among local students and those in other countries. It could be used to deliver staff development courses and enable people to get together for district business meetings without the time, expense, or carbon emissions associated with physical travel.

VoIP was a revelation to the district. Teachers have become more immediately accessible to parents, who no longer have to leave messages in the main offices and hope to be available when teachers call back. And now, when a teacher or staff member moves to another location in the district, the phone and a person's number can follow along; all it requires is a simple update through software. "We know who's got that device, where they have it, where they have it plugged in," Devkota explains. In short, VoIP gave the district community a taste for location-free communications, which naturally led to the next best thing to being there: telepresence.

I think this an interesting article. The only aspect that gave me pause, other than cost, was the idea of location-free_communications. I'm envisioning PA systems on steroids. I opened a topic "Telepresence" to see if anyone wanted to weigh in on the topic.
