A useful science resource that shows the key features of the elements of the periodic table. http://ictmagic.wikispaces.com/Science

This is a very cool app. You look at the periodic table and drag elements to mix them together and see what happens in the app. The GoReact app is a "drag and drop" laboratory. If you introduce the periodic table, you'll want to see this.

It's a hard job, answering phones and talking to customers for hours at a time. So when Zappos hires new employees, it provides a four-week training period that immerses them in the company's strategy, culture, and obsession with customers. People get paid their full salary during this period. After a week or so in this immersive experience, though, it's time for what Zappos calls "The Offer." The fast-growing company, which works hard to recruit people to join, says to its newest employees: "If you quit today, we will pay you for the amount of time you've worked, plus we will offer you a $1,000 bonus." Zappos actually bribes its new employees to quit!

People from Nottingham put together these videos of elements. Eventually they plan to have one for each element in the periodic table.

Creative way to teach the Periodic Table with use of cartoons.

Twitario allows yo to see your tweets in a book/diary format over a specified period of time. Could be used for students to submit an assignment of tweets they did over a period of time OR to show/use during a presentation of the information contained within a succession of tweets when showing how Twitter works.

Most employers do not want employees who hate their work but persist through it anyway. It is a fallacy to believe that we are teaching our kids that the heart of innovative capability (and therefore their future job prospects) is best served by doing something you hate for an extended period of time no matter the consequences.

"The North Atlantic Ocean has spawned more hurricanes and tropical storms over the last decade than it has since a similarly stormy period 1,000 years ago, according to a new study." This article would be excellent for some discussions in science about climate change.
