  • Here is a link to a bundle I’ve created on Google Reader. I enjoy following David Pogue from the NYT. He is funny and witty and interesting, at least I think so. I’m a fan of Mitch Resnick from MIT and must give him all the credit for my passion in helping my students see themselves as creators not just users of technology. You should search out some of his writings. Actually better yet go to a conference at MIT and meet him.

Electricity FERC - 10 views

  • Regulatory Changes by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
  • FERC Orders 888 and 889
  • On April 24, 1996, FERC issued Orders 888 and 889, which encourage wholesale competition.  The primary objective of these orders is the elimination of monopoly power over the transmission of electricity.  To achieve this objective, FERC requires all public utilities that own, control, or operate facilities used for transmitting electric energy in interstate commerce to: file open access nondiscriminatory transmission tariffs containing minimum terms and conditions, take transmission service (including ancillary services) for their own new wholesale sales and purchases of electricity under open access tariffs, develop and maintain a same-time information system that will give existing and potential  users the same access to transmission information that the public utility enjoys, and separate the transmission from generating and marketing functions and communications.

  • Recovery of stranded costs is perhaps the most contentious issue confronting regulators in promoting competition.  Stranded costs (or assets) are costs that have been prudently incurred by utilities to serve their customers but cannot be recovered if the consumers choose other electricity suppliers. One study has estimated current stranded assets at $88 billion, and estimates of projected stranded costs range from $10 billion to $500 billion. In its Order 888, FERC reaffirmed "that the recovery of legitimate, prudent and verifiable stranded costs should be allowed." FERC's directive is grounded in the belief that the recovery of stranded costs "is critical to the successful transition of the electricity industry to a competitive, open-access environment." For this purpose, direct assignment of costs to departing customers was selected as the appropriate method for recovery of stranded costs.

      It is important to understand that there are a variety of students with different learning needs. While we can utilize different teaching strategies for students who have learning disabilities, it is important to remember that there are students with physical disabilities who need a different kind of help. This article really shows us the different types available, gives examples of different students and their experiences, and provides various resources for the parent and teacher to utilize in order to find out what assistive technology may be best for their child or student. less than a minute ago

      It is important for us to remember that there are various resources we can go to in order to help our students. We just have to know where to go to find them.

      This article reminds us that just getting an assistive technology is not what the student needs. We need to make sure that we have the proper training in order to help the student utilize it so he or she can get the most out of the assistive device.

Education Week Teacher: Redefining Instruction With Technology: Five Essential Steps - 95 views

  • Break down to rebuild.
  • By setting aside my pre-conceived notions of how my classroom "should" look, sound, and feel, I was able to transform my practice from the ground up.

  • I also asked myself the question: "What can I do with these devices that would be impossible to do without them?" In other words, I was hoping to create new teaching methods rather than just replacing old ones.
  • I redesigned my classroom practice around the goals, with iPads as the infrastructure.
  • Redefine with a goal in mind
  • Get more app for your money.
  • student-creation apps
  • Embrace failure
  • By creating a safe, open environment and by being clear that this endeavor is as foreign to you as it is to them, you encourage risk taking—and greater achievements.
  • Enjoy the results, reflect towards the future. A
  • I saw students become active agents in their own learning—because they now had choices about the methods that worked best for them. Kids who’d professed to hate school were now eager to engage in the classroom. One student wrote in her daily reflection, "[iPads] make me want to come to school every day because I know that Ms. Magiera has a lesson just for me."

Diigo VS Delicious « Bibliweb's Blog - 60 views

  •  
    "Vous l'avez certainement remarqué, en ce moment beaucoup de professionnels de l'information migrent de Delicious à Diigo. Effet de mode ou véritable révolution? Pour tenter de le savoir, je vous propose un comparatif qui, je l'espère, vous aidera à choisir entre l'une ou l'autre des plateformes. Delicious et Diigo fonctionnent sur le même principe: ils vous permettent d'enregistrer vos favoris en ligne. Jusque-là tout va bien : la manipulation se fait en quelques clics que ce soit avec l'un ou avec l'autre. Mais une fois que l'on a créé et les favoris importés, on se retrouve dans deux univers très différents. diigo Diigo: réseau social ou l'outil de travail ? Dès la page d'accueil on trouve une ressemblance très forte avec les sites de réseaux sociaux: un profil avec vos informations personnelles, vos activités récentes ainsi que celles de vos amis. Car dans Diigo, vous avez des amis, avec qui vous pouvez converser et travailler en groupe. Le plus ? Le travail en commun permet en autre de créer une liste fermée de mots-clés pour indexer vos favoris., ce qui évite les listes de tags interminables et peu pertinentes. L'organisation des mots-clés par liste thématique peut s'avérer utile notamment lorsque l'on souhaite créer une liste de signets pour le public de la bibliothèque. Le moins ? Il faut bien dire qu'on a du mal à distinguer le véritable enjeu du site, tant le coté social est présent. Par exemple il est possible d'échanger ses idées, ses favoris ou ses annotations avec des inconnus de la communauté via les forums thématiques. WindowsLiveWriter_Delintrtdegardersessignetsenligne_B21E_delicious_logo_3 Delicious: simplicité et austérité. Soyons clairs, Delicious n'est vraiment pas joli à regarder, et sur ce point Diigo le bat à plate couture. La page d'accueil est constituée de la liste des sites les plus populaires. Le message est clair: ici on sauvegarde ses favoris, on l

VoiceThread Digital Library Submission - 0 views

  •  
    VoiceThread Digital Library Submission VoiceThread is creating a digital library of outstanding examples of teaching Threads and we need our community of educators to help us build this resource. The intention is not just to 'favorite' or 'tag' great examples but to explore and document how they were done and what was learned. The end result will be a detailed article that other educators can utilize to help guide their work, so please give us as much information as possible. We hope to open the Library in January so submit them whenever you can and spread word of the project to others. As a token of thanks we'll be giving $20 worth of archival exports to all of the submitters whose work is published in the library. Thanks very much for helping us! Our tool wouldn't be what it is without you.
