Steve Jobs, 1955 - 2011 | Epicenter | Wired.com - 1 views

  •  
    Steve Jobs' obituary on wired news. He died too young but lived while he lived. May innovation at Apple not die with him. I think this makes us all sad because so much of innovation in the last years have been tied up with his leadership and vision that it is hard to imagine a world without him. I think it is harder to imagine imagination without him. Do we have the creativity in us to come up with things no one has thought of and improve millions of lives?

More cyber schools on way after funding increase  | ajc.com - 0 views

  •  
    So, now Georgia funds "cyber schools" at $5800 per student. I wonder, however, if this is the best way. Why does it have to be either or - why can't it be "this and." Kids should be able to have regular school and choose an extra class that interests them at night. I'm not really a fan of this method that pits "cyber school" against "normal school" - we really need blended environments.

Jaye Albright's Breakfast Blog: Alarming - 0 views

  • The younger the person, the more likely they wake up to an alarm on their cell phone and not a radio.
  • At least half of the folks in the groups in multple cities I witnessed reported using the cell phone as their sole wake up device.
  •  
    I find it funny that radio stations are concerned because kids are using their cell phones as their alarm clocks in the morning. They could use cell phones as calculators, dictionaries, and translators -- oops, I forgot, we don't allow them in schools.

Skin-deep? 200 high school girls give up makeup - TODAY Fashion & Beauty - TODAYshow.com - 2 views

  • Their message was heard loud and clear. The school-sanctioned club — Redefining Beautiful: One Girl at a Time — quickly grew to 200 members. Boys at the school even formed a support group to encourage the girls.
  •  
    This is how movements now happen! Redefining Beautiful: One Girl at a Time has girls not wearing makeup on Tuesdays. T-shirts and, of course, social media, characterize what these girls are doing (and the guys who support them.) For pundits who think social media is a negative, this is an example of how this generation redefines the world using social networking to spread statements of a generation more quickly than books can be printed.
  •  
    Read about this trend. It would make a GREAT movie.

      Not sure when Google TV comes out.

      Google TV is going to roll out first in the UK. Some of our UK students may want to look into this a little bit more and report back to the group.
