Father And Son Send iPhone Into Space And Record Incredible Video (VIDEO) - 0 views

  •  
    A father and son from Brooklyn, New York sent an iPhone into the stratosphere a few weeks ago to record a video of the earth's curvature. The two spent eight months researching and testing their homemade craft, which was made of a weather balloon and a styrofoam case for the iPhone, before launching in Newburgh, NY. The phone apparently braved winds of 100 miles-per-hour and temperatures as cold as 60 below zero (the iPhone was smartly packed with hand warmers).

Google's New HTML5 Chrome Apps For Gmail, Calendar And Docs Give Users Offline Access |... - 0 views

  •  
    As we reported at Google I/O in May, Google has been working on offline versions of their three most popular apps: Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Docs. Google previously offered offline access for Gmail, Calendar, and Docs but leveraged Gears. But Gears is no longer being supported by Google as Chrome gains many of the same features via HTML5. And offline-acces functionality was limited. Today, Google is announcing that it has rebuilt offline access for these applications, in the form of a HTML5 Chrome web app. Gmail offline will be available today, and offline for Google Calendar and Google Docs will be rolling out over the next week, starting today.

Stories from a School Makerspace, #1 (The Prototype Process) - The Disruption Department - 0 views

  •  
    "This is the first installment in a series of reflections from our pilot makerspace at Grand Center Arts Academy in St. Louis.  The point is to not only document the process so we can improve when we go to full-time programming in August, but also to share the process with others who might want to try catalyzing a Makerspace at their school or community center".)  These thoughts may be random, many times not chronological, but when taken as an opus, provide a good deal of insight into how we've learned about how a makerspace works."

  • Blog” and “Post”. Sometimes they appear as one, “Blogpost”.
  • What I learned and appreciate more than any other thing that I get from blogging is that I write for me. It is a reflective, personal endeavor.
  • With comments from a real audience providing proper feedback, the writer gets a better sense of impact on the audience as well as recognition for accuracy and focus.

Educational Leadership:For Each to Excel:Preparing Students to Learn Without Us - 0 views

  • "It requires a totally different skill set on the teacher's part," Stutzman says. "We have to be comfortable with being uncomfortable, because we don't know the exact direction that a class will go when we walk in. Depending on student questions, reflections, or activities, our plans could quickly morph into something we never dreamed would happen at the outset." In other words, it's risk and reward. "It's scary not to know exactly where your students will go if their curriculums are potentially different, and it requires a lot of adjusting," Stutzman explains. "But the benefit is that students get to see our genuine reactions to new discoveries as well as to challenges, and they see us model the learning process together." Students understand that there is no one "right" answer that the teacher expects, that there are many answers, and that the teacher and students will likely discover many of these together.
  • What I wonder is whether his classrooms and teachers can help him become a passionate, patient, connected learner who is empowered to truly learn whatever and whenever he needs to.
