Molly Kleinman CC HowTo #1: How to Attribute a Creative Commons licensed work

Free open source CMS geared toward magazines, newspapers, etc. Might be good for school publications! Definitely the right price!

Reader of JohnJonston created a simple cc flickr search engine that puts out a thumbnail image as well as a citation and linkback information

from site: Like the "Cc:" function in email, switchAbit lets you write content once and publish to multiple services. (e.g. Send a tweet and switchAbit will route it Facebook and Jaiku). Control how and when switchAbit is activated by setting up "switchboards" and tags you create.

aha!! collaboration platform for the folks who still cannot let go of e-mail!

1. Setup your group Enter email addresses of people you want to be tgethr with and pick a group address like family@tgethr.com 2. Start communicating Start sending email to the group address and everyone will automatically receive a copy. 3. Keep an archive Attach files, include links to videos, audio, or images. Even cc: or bcc: the group address for everyone to read. It will all be archived for you on the web. WHY WE BUILT TGETHR: * Web-based only collaboration solutions have too much overhead we never used * We were inadvertently sharing company secrets too often over email or via web-based collaboration tools * Email is still our primary communication mechanism and didn't intersect well with collaboration solutions we tried * Some people in our company didn't feel comfortable being on the "bleeding edge" of web-based collaboration tools and just want to use email

Command of the written word is a vital 21st-century skill, even if we are using keys, buttons, and tablets instead of pens and pencils. In fact, in our digital world, communication is now more instantaneous than ever. How do we prepare our students to meet the challenge? Blogging can offer opportunities for students to develop their communications skills through meaningful writing experiences. Such projects not only motivate students to write, but motivate them to write well. Furthermore, student-blogging projects can be designed to address the Common Core State Standards for writing. For example, see anchor standard six, which calls upon students to use technology to "produce and publish writing and to interact and collaborate with others." Score!

Disposable email addresses that never expire. Free.

littleBits consists of tiny circuit-boards with simple, unique functions engineered to snap together with magnets. No soldering, no wiring, no programming, just snap and play. Each bit has a simple, unique function (light, sound, sensors, buttons, thresholds, pulse, motors, etc), and modules snap to make larger circuits. Just as LEGOs™ allow you to create complex structures with very little engineering knowledge, littleBits are small, simple, intuitive, blocks that make creating with sophisticated electronics a matter of snapping small magnets together.
