Lee Kolbert: We Can Do Better Than Matt Damon - 1 views

  • What bothers me is that he was rude to the reporter and her cameraman when they were trying to engage him in a conversation.
    • Brian C. Smith
       
      Get passed it.  This isn't an elementary school conversation and we don't know the context before the question was asked.  Let's not forget that reporters provoke to get the sound bite.  
  • But it's a little muddy now because Matt was rude. And we applauded.
    • Brian C. Smith
       
      Please.  We don't know the context based on the clip we all viewed.  I think this absolutely adds to the conversation.

      Another Race to the Top! 
    • Brian C. Smith
       
      Where were all the other educators at the Save Our Schools March?  I am guilty, and feel guilty for having not attended, but really, where were we all?   No, Matt Damon isn't, and shouldn't be our poster child for education reform.  You cannot fault him for representing us and using a naughty word.  Instead of poo-pooing Matt, I applaud his courage to do so, to tell it like it is, and for defending our profession.  I will not put him on a pedestal as if he speaks for me as one of my own, however, he did defended teachers. I appreciate that, a lot.   Don't make this more than what it is, even if you think he did it in a shitty way.

It's Time To Hide The Noise - 35 views

  • the noise is worse than ever. Indeed, it is being magnified every day as more people pile onto Twitter and Facebook and new apps yet to crest like Google Wave. The data stream is growing stronger, but so too is the danger of drowning in all that information.
  • the fact that Seesmic or TweetDeck or any of these apps can display 1,200 Tweets at once is not a feature, it’s a bug
  • if you think Twitter is noisy, wait until you see Google Wave, which doesn’t hide anything at all.  Imagine that Twhirl image below with a million dialog boxes on your screen, except you see as other people type in their messages and add new files and images to the conversation, all at once as it is happening.  It’s enough to make your brain explode.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • all I need is two columns: the most recent Tweets from everyone I follow (the standard) and the the most interesting tweets I need to pay attention to.  Recent and Interesting.  This second column is the tricky one.  It needs to be automatically generated and personalized to my interests at that moment.
  • search is broken on Twitter.  Unless you know the exact word you are looking for, Tweets with related terms won’t show up.  And there is no way to sort searches by relevance, it is just sorted by chronology.

    I love TimeToast's cool interface. Add a paragraph, link, and photo of each event. Does not have the privacy features of XTimline though.

    Easy to use and create timelines -good for younger grades

Taking WordPress Widgets To The Next Level - 56 views

  • There are initially two options to choose from. Either displaying a widget on selected or displaying a widget on every page except selected
  • Ok, now we need an example. Lets say I want to display the default recent comments widget only on the homepage since that is the only place where it makes sense to display it. I would simply add the recent comments widget to the sidebar, click the edit link, select “Display Only On Selected“, check mark the Homepage box and then, click done. The recent comments will now only show up on the homepage.

      could students use to create quick "process" math videos?
    • Cheryl Corte
       
      Definitely. Choose the right template to build your math videos. Add music (background), Animoto does the rest. Sign-up for an Educators account to create Math videos throughout the year.

    Neel, You must sign up for an educator account and they automatically give you an Educator Plus account for 184 days, along with a promo code that you can share with up to 50 other individuals (typically students), after the 184 days it only costs $5.00/month or $30/yr. They also offer a referral program so that you can earn an upgraded account for FREE but each referral has to become a paying subscriber.
  •  
    I also am having trouble finding how to sign up for the educator.'s account. I follow the links but they do ot offer the educator option. Any ideas?
  •  
    could student use free version to make quick videos - you only get 30 seconds for free ... but I think that would work toward being concise and planning ahead

Challenging the Presentation Paradigm with the 1/1/5 Rule - ProfHacker - The Chronicle ... - 2 views

  • 20 slides at 20 seconds per slide, a Pecha Kucha is, as Jason writes, necessarily “SHORT, INFORMAL, and CREATIVE.”
  • In addition to the time constraint of the Pecha Kucha, your presentation must also follow the 1/1/5 rule. That is, you must have at least one image per slide, you can use each exact image only once, and you should add no more than five words per slide. The formal constraints of this rigid format call for discipline, focus, practice, and paradoxically, creativity.

Teacher Experience Exchange - Navigating the curated human network - 34 views

  • If I can get overloaded with a flood of daily content, how can I expect students to cope?
  • To add to this, I believe students (and all of us for that matter) need help managing social media and making it productive, not overwhelming.

English 102 - Bear | Blog | The review of Ideas - 14 views

shared by Ryan Trauman on 30 Apr 11 - No Cached
  • “If we want to actually reduce the number of divorces, we need to make divorce less appealing to women.”(Davidson). What Davidson is expressing is that women are attracted to divorce. Marriage was once a partnership. “A person doesn’t cling to what they do not need. Therefore a woman will not cling to a man who is not needed.”(Feldman) Feldmon forwards Davidson’s thought, but it adds to it. Marriage is hard enough. If a the partner is not needed why would either party wish to go through the difficulties. “The origins of marriage was a simple set up, the man worked, the woman did not.”(Hendrix) Hendrix continues to expand on a common thought of partnership. Hendrix shows that originally that marriage partners were dependent on each other. The woman was dependent on the man for money and the man dependent on the woman for the upkeep of the house. Was it the best system? Possibly. Couples stuck together back then. They fought tooth and nail to keep their marriage strong and did what was best for the family. However, no one disagrees with women becoming part of the work force. “We need to find a middle ground”(Cochrane). Cochrane is speaking on  the terms of interdependence. She is saying that there has to be a middle ground between the powers.

      Good, but where are you other sources? If everyone agrees, can you show us little pieces of text that deomonstrate how they agree?
