Muslim Academy on 04 Oct 12

In the recent years, there has been a series of criminal activities which includes bombing on social/public places such as hotels and market places, frequent grenade attacks and bombing and collapsing of the towers and stadiums. When such incidences occur, many are the times when life of hundreds of people gets claimed ruthlessly. Some people claim that such activities are associated with Muslim community while some blame Christians, Buddhists or Hindus. There is no reason, strong enough, as to why one should think that such horrid acts are religion based. It is difficult to explain the association of any religion with all these terrorizing and dehumanizing activities.

Blue screen, which is also referred as Blue screen of death (BSOD), is a serious syndrome for a computer system. That is why; it is not easy to elucidate this issue via an application or program. Victims usually opt for a fresh installation of Windows, and sacrifice their specific applications and settings, although, it is an extensive and time-consuming solution.

5 Benefits for Creating a Classroom Environment for Student Blogs - 6 views

David Wetzel on 13 Sep 10

Benefits for creating a classroom environment for student blogging begin with establishing a foundation for their success. Why is this important? Integrating blogs transforms a classroom into a learning community where students become self-directed learners and thinkers. This in turn, causes students to use higher order thinking skills as they create and post entries in their blogs, along with commenting on other student's blogs.

  (bummer! I had typed a fairly long note on this, and then clicked to a different tab and lost it? apologies if this is a duplicate) Try again: Interesting list -- which do you use? PowerPoint, Audacity, Moodle and SlideShare made both lists. Does this spur your thinking/reflecting about attitudinal differences commonly recurring between workplace and higher ed/adult ed? In light of the likely funnelling of (USA) adult ed funding from K-12 and toward workforce (Workforce Investment Act), is there something to be learned here? More research would be interesting. Why would certain delivery solutions be preferred/selected by one group over another? thoughts? comments? reactions?

  Holly, Very interesting questions for reflection. I don't know why one was chosen over the other in different spheres, but my guess is that in the workplace, it seems to have more of paid softwares like captivate, camtasia, etc, whereas in the formal educaton environment, some read/write web tools with free versions. Also, at the workplace the tools seem to be more of delivery of content, while in formal education, they're more related to social software with possibilities of social construction of knowledge. What do you think?

I think Carla might be on to something where she surmises workplace content delivery (or training), in contrast to education, as well as the attractiveness of free and open source tools to educators. The Top 100 Tools...: Analysis page cross-links to a CLPT programme on free tools (http://c4lpt.co.uk/25Tools/Tools/about.html), which in turn links to a Ning group, whose intro. pairs education with training instead of learning. Perhaps learning is too broad a term for the Top 100 Tools proposed for workplaces. It is also interesting to note that the top ten for neither workplaces nor formal educational settings include web browsers. It is hard to imagine using either Moodle or Slideshare without a browser, isn't it?
