** good to share with PLC Copyright for Kids: A Three Part Lesson One of the most challenging aspects of my job is teaching copyright to elementary school kids. They honestly just don't get the idea that they can't take others' work and then claim it as their own. It's widely known that the problem lies with 20th Century teaching in a 21st Century environment: When finding information is no longer a challenge in the age of the Internet, why do we continue to assign research projects that register way-low on Bloom's taxonomy (Remember, Understand)? We need to cater our projects to the higher levels, like analyze, evaluate and create. So if I'm going to walk the walk, I need to create a project that helps students to evaluate, analyze and synthesize information and ideas about COPYRIGHT.

Freelancers, small business owners, college students and family members have found that the Internet has made it easier to work from home, collaborate on group projects, and share important files and links.

During this ongoing successful partnership, designed to complement the strengths of the two companies, QuickSilver has now also introduced a new business partner, who will join AHEB Investment Group in a new Joint Venture partnership, taking full advantage of AHEB's in-depth and sophisticated knowledge of the complex financing and funding requirements of major global projects. Under the agreement, AHEB will be a shareholder as well providing financial consulting and guidance for the duration of the project and will have sole responsibility for securing its funding, a projected cost of GBP 750 million. It will also provide funding opportunities in part through its network of investor partners.

Collaboration: arguably, the single most important and under-appreciated thing in business since the Ark of the Covenant was used as a filing cabinet. No matter how challenging the project or important the deadline, people only think of their part - they assume the "communication" thing will happen automatically because people talk all the time.

TED Talks At the EG conference in December 2007, artist Jonathan Harris discusses his latest projects, which involve collecting stories: his own, strangers', and stories collected from the Internet, including his amazing "We Feel Fine."

My idea consists of creating a class Flickr account and allowing students to upload their photos and descriptions. Students could then view all of the photos and comment on the work of other students. If I give the students enough time to work on the project, about 1 week, they should have plenty of time to take and upload pictures to the site. Once the images are on Flickr, I could do many different things with them. I could take them and make photo mosaic using Big Huge Labs and post it to the class website for everyone to see
