    Second life has upped their prices this week. This is why I couldn't buy land - I budgeted at old prices but don't have the money to create my student island now. Of course, I'd wait until this past week to buy the island, but I wasn't ready yet!

I can guarantee the job I hire someone to do will change or may not exist in the future, so this is why adaptability and learning skills are more important than technical skills

  • Vicki Davis on 27 Oct 08
     
    Got a link to this wiki from Estie Cuellar, amazing teacher who has joined in Flat Classroom this year. She says: "I would like to share something with you guys. I teach a Sports Marketing Class. I'm always looking for new and fun ways to reach the kids. Yesterday, I started my class on a comprehensive project that I'm calling, "Rock On." The goal of the project is for the students teams (all of my classes work in teams) to synthesize what they've learned in class so far (they've learned the marketing mix, target marketing, positioning, segmenting, and the 7-key functions of marketing) and plan a 20 city tour for their band. I found the project from a "Best Practices" book that Jeff McCauley of The Marketing Teacher compiled from marketing teachers and sent out as a PDF a couple of years ago. I have modified the original project to utilize Web2.0 technologies." Interesting ideas - wish I could teach marketing!

  • Vicki Davis on 27 Oct 08
     
    Interesting article w/ new term "hacktivists" -- politically motivated hackers. That is a new term. Twitter is written up in this report as being used by extremist groups of all kinds "socialists, human rights groups, communists, vegetarians, anarchists, religious communities, atheists, political enthusiasts, hacktivists and others...." Why not just say everyone uses twitter? (Well, everyone DOESN"T use twitter but it can mobilize a lot of people in a pretty short time.)
