10 Twitter Tools to Organize Your Tweeps - 7 views

  •  
    As Twitter surges toward an estimated 12 million registered users by year's end (though some new stats may disagree), some of us are starting to deal with what we recently dubbed "followholism." You've followed so many people, it's hard to keep up, and it's probably time to do a little housekeeping. But where do you begin? Twitter's own tools for managing followers are subpar. It's nearly impossible to figure out who among your followers are following you back, and the interface for paging through followers is clumsy and difficult to use. Fortunately, Twitter's API has given rise to a vast universe of amazing third party apps. So we've assembled a toolkit below of 10 services that can help you take control of Twitter and organize your followers. If you know any other tools that would be helpful for organizing tweeps, add them in the comments.

The Seven Golden Rules of Using Technology in Schools | MindShift - 10 views

  •  
    Sometimes teachers and administrators need a kick in the pants to see what they perceive as problems re-framed in a different way. Adam S. Bellow, author of The Tech Commandments, and founder of eduTecher, spoke to a roomful of receptive teachers at the recent ISTE 2011 conference, and demonstrated some of the ironies and contradictions the education system is mired in. And he had some advice.

Teacher ideas - 0 views

  • What a fascinating journey for Fiona McIntosh's class – they explored the two historic flights made by Charles Kingsford Smith and his crew.'It's a pretty amazing learning object. It's absolutely loaded with things that kids love – I loved it. It's got really accurate footage from the period and kept the kids absolutely riveted. They really loved the fact that they were able to make their own newsreel. For some kids it's probably the best piece of work I've seen them do this year! Most students made wonderful observations, comparisons and displayed the knowledge they had acquired.'

State's graduation exam passes latest test - 4 views

  • The regulation calls for the state to provide 10 end-of-course exams, beginning with English literature, Algebra 1 and biology in 2010-11, with other English, math, science and social studies subjects being phased in through 2016-17.
  • School districts would be required to count the exams for at least one-third of a student's final grade or districts could use other options, including validated local assessments or Advanced Placement exams instead. Districts also could set up a project for students who failed exams.
  • Opponents of the exams told the regulatory commission that the testing program would cost too much to administer and be unfair to otherwise good students who perform poorly on standardized tests.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • We understand the system now,
  • Some have said that the exams would discourage students who have a hard time taking tests and would prompt them to drop out.
    • anonymous
       
      What do you think of that concern?
  •  
    This is HUGE. There will eventually be ten end-of-course exams, each counting for one third of a student's final grade. Some will argue that this means that there will be no time for "21st Century T&L" concerns. Others will argue that those concerns are exactly what are needed to ensure true mastery of the subject. Where do YOU fall in that debate?

DIALOGUE DRAFT -- "My Brother, My Keeper" - 1 views

shared by anonymous on 05 Nov 09 - Cached
  • Dr. Townshend: What the hell's this all about? Dr. Kelso: Nothing! I was, uh, just looking over your files and, um...well...your osteoporotic patients aren't on Bisphosphonate; your diabetics aren't on ACE inhibitors. Doug, a lot of your treatments are pretty out of date. Dr. Townshend: Come on, Bob, I'm--guys like us, we're set in our ways. Dr. Kelso: Well, this is not an age thing, Doug. Hell, these days if you've been out of med school five years, half of what you learned is obsolete. Why do you think I spend every other weekend at a seminar in some two-star hotel ballroom that still stinks of last night's prom vomit? I do it because I have to keep up. Dr. Townshend: Also, it gives you two days away from the missus, right? [laughs] Once again, I am sorry I was the one who introduced you in the first place! Dr. Kelso's expressions remains serious. Dr. Townshend: Look, Bob, I just...I don't have the energy for all that stuff. Dr. Kelso: Well...then we got a problem.

AFT - A Union of Professionals - Ask the Cognitive Scientist - 0 views

  • The penultimate sentence is in parenthesis to indicate that some saw the sentence and some didn't. Subjects found the passage more interesting if the reason for the ending was not explicitly in the passage. Similar effects have been reported for more educational materials (e.g., historical passages, see Frick, 1992).
    • Dave Solon
       
      So don't give away everything or be too explicit. Leave the reader with something to analyze or think about.
  • One key reason that stories are easy to comprehend is because we know the format, and that gives us a reasonable idea of what to expect. When an event is described in a story, we expect that the event will be causally related to a prior event in the story. The listener uses his or her knowledge of story structure to relate the present event to what has already happened.
  • Subjects remember about 50 percent more from the stories than from the expository passages.

  • Stories Are Easier to Remember
  • Stories and Story Structure in the ClassroomStories are interesting, easy to comprehend, and easy to remember; and even preschoolers have some appreciation of story structure (Wenner, 2004). Exactly what has led our minds to handle stories in such a privileged way is not well understood, but it has been suggested that understanding the actions and characters in a story calls on the same processes we use in trying to understand the actions and intentions of people in the real world (Bower, 1978). We evolved as a social species, and so we may have special cognitive apparatus to deal with social situations that are co-opted in thinking about stories.
  • How can teachers capitalize on the privileged status of stories? There are two groups of applications. First, obviously enough, one can tell more stories. Second, where stories are inappropriate, it may still be useful to inject elements from the story format into lessons. Both approaches are discussed here.
  • Tell more stories in class.
  • Have students read stories outside of class.
  • Tell stories to older students.
  • Use the four Cs to structure lessons
  • Since stories are interesting, easy to remember, and easy to understand, they are an ideal introduction to a new unit. The teacher can introduce new material in a way that is both non-threatening and interesting.
  • Use the most important C—conflict.
  • Screenwriters know that the most important of the four Cs is the conflict. If the audience is not compelled by the problem that the main characters face, they will never be interested in the story.

Buy Google Maps Reviews - SEOSmmSeller - 0 views

  •  
    Google is the most popular search engine in the world, and it's obvious why. Google has a huge index of websites that can be searched quickly and easily by anyone. That said, if you want to rank highly on Google then it is essential to have some positive feedback from other users. Fortunately there are many ways to get such feedback as well as some methods of faking them. If you're looking for ways to get more positive reviews online, then look no further than SEOSMMSeller.COM
  •  
    There are many reasons to buy Google Maps reviews. The first is that you can get a lot of positive reviews for your business at a low cost. This means that you will have more than enough to satisfy the requirements of Google, which is one review per ten customers. Second, if your business has been in operation for some time and has hundreds or thousands of customers, then it may be difficult for someone who does not know about this service from another source (like Yelp) to find out how many positive reviews there are on Google Maps. Thirdly, buying reviews from multiple sources ensures that there won't be any discrepancy between what people see when they look up your company online by searching keywords related to its field/industry versus what potential consumers see when visiting other sites where these same individuals might go looking for information about businesses like yours."

Top 25 Mobile Apps in Academia - Online Universities - 1 views

    Everyone seems to talk endlessly about the role smartphones and other mobile technologies play in today's classroom, especially when it comes to the best apps to get teachers organized and keep students learning. Higher ed has not inoculated itself against the spread, and ranks from the university president down to the lowliest of fresh meat tote around a smartphone or a tablet these days. Some, of course, benefit the faculty more than others, and the following prove pretty popular among professors these days.
