Very awesome tips for shooting video.

"During this first week of school, I wanted to inspire my students to be creative and have fun with their learning. In years past I have always struggled to make my writing lessons fun and engaging, yet productive. This is year I decided to introduce writing with the help of my favorite tech tool: Augmented Reality! "

"Googleable. Definition:   being able to find information about something by using the search engine Google. For example, and from the video:  When was Custer's last stand? That's a Googleable question.  Questions that are "googleable" can be answered by simply doing a Google search.   Ask a question, the student types it into Google and bingo - the answer. Where do you stand with "googleable questions?"  Googleable assignments?  Appropriate, inappropriate, or it depends?"

This is just awesome!  "An Invention Kit for Everyone"

"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."

"Math Encounters Math Encounters is a new public presentation series celebrating the spectacular world of mathematics and presented by the Simons Foundation and the Museum of Mathematics.

"Tony DeRose wanders between rows at New York's Museum of Mathematics. In a brightly-colored button-up T-shirt that may be Pixar standard issue, he doesn't look like the stereotype of a scientist. He greets throngs of squirrely, nerdy children and their handlers - parents and grandparents, math and science teachers - as well as their grown-up math nerd counterparts, who came alone or with their friends. One twentysomething has a credit for crowd animation on Cars 2; he's brought his mom. She wants to meet the pioneer whose work lets her son do what he does."

This is awesome, and everyone should watch!  "This guy started out as a bully. Where he ended up will surprise you. It surprised the TED audience too, so they went ahead and gave him a rousing standing ovation. It's worth watching every single inspirational minute of this."

"Miami Ad School Student Project: A Simple Solution to help New York's Empty Libraries Now that the internet is available almost anywhere, people are able to do "instant research" to learn about anything on their smartphones. The New York Public Library wants to remind New Yorkers that they are still a valuable resource, and a free service. NYPL wants to take your usual subway ads and make them into something fun and entertaining. They want to give New Yorkers something productive to do on the subway instead of their everyday people watching."

"National Poetry Month has arrived, and we're celebrating with book spine poetry. Three (maybe even four) cheers for everyone who gave it a shot. If you try book spine poetry during the month of April, snap a picture, post it to your blog, or email it to me at scopenotes at gmail dot com. I'll add to this gallery for the entire month."

So, be it Zotero or photo editing or movie making, I am here to help the students. Could it be done by a kid from IT, probably. But could it be done as well and leave students feeling like they can do anything? Depends on the kid. However, coming from Libraryland and seeing the technology as another tool to bring students success makes me a stronger option.

"The Universe in a Nutshell: The Physics of Everything Michio Kaku, Henry Semat Professor of Theoretical Physics at CUNY What if we could find one single equation that explains every force in the universe? Dr. Michio Kaku explores how physicists may shrink the science of the Big Bang into an equation as small as Einstein's "e=mc^2." Thanks to advances in string theory, physics may allow us to escape the heat death of the universe, explore the multiverse, and unlock the secrets of existence. While firing up our imaginations about the future, Kaku also presents a succinct history of physics and makes a compelling case for why physics is the key to pretty much everything.
