    You pass through the long security line at the United States Capitol building in Washington, DC. While the line of tourists streams forward into the Exhibition Hall, you turn right, and head to the Senate appointment desk. There, you sign in, get an ID badge, and are guided by a security officer to a large meeting room.

  • In Denmark, the government has taken the bold step of allowing pupils full access to the internet during their final school year exam
  • They can access any site they like, even Facebook, but they cannot message each other or email anyone outside the classroom.

  • The Danish government says if the internet is so much a part of daily life, it should be included in the classroom and in examinations.
  • Sanne Yde Schmidt, who heads the project at Greve, says: "If we're going to be a modern school and teach them things that are relevant for them in modern life, we have to teach them how to use the internet."

    Some high schools in Denmark are beginning to allow students access to the internet during exams. Exciting stuff, and fantastic to see countries looking into more open forms of assessment. I will be interested to see how quickly other nations follow Denmark's lead in this regard. Tools like Diigo would be a fantastic method of preparation for student's sitting these exams.

    "Welcome to Celestia ... The free space simulation that lets you explore our universe in three dimensions. Celestia runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X. Unlike most planetarium software, Celestia doesn't confine you to the surface of the Earth. You can travel throughout the solar system, to any of over 100,000 stars, or even beyond the galaxy. "

    Celestia is great - and it works in tandem with Stellarium - some more freeware - we started our students off with an examination of the Earth (Stellarium) and how it relates to the Solar System and then you can move on to Celestia - a chance to explore further out into space

    http://www.stellarium.org/ check this out - we have both Stellarium and Celestia on the student image - "Stellarium is a free open source planetarium for your computer. It shows a realistic sky in 3D, just like what you see with the naked eye, binoculars or a telescope. It is being used in planetarium projectors. Just set your coordinates and go." both freeware
