For all of you with ipads for kids, here are some great suggestions for how to maximize learning.

The philosophy Everyone has different reading abilities. Some people searching the web are university professors and others are 5 year old children. Twurdy has been created to provide people with access to search results that suit their own readability level. What does it do? Twurdy uses text analysis software to "read" each page before it is displayed in the results. Then Twurdy gives each page a readability level. Twurdy then shows the readability level of the page along with a color coded system to help users determine how easy the page will be to understand. The Goal Twurdy's goal is to provide web searchers with information that is most appropriate for them. This will mean that 10 year olds doing school assignments don't have to click through difficult material to find something they can use. It will also mean that phd students do not have to click through websites designed for kids in order to find what they are looking for.

For anyone looking for a program that builds community.

Thanks Rhonda. I was looking for this!

Should employers be allowed to ask employees or candidates  for employment for their social networking accounts' passwords?  Should school administrators be allowed to ask for the passwords of students?

No, I really think this is an invasion of privacy--even if pages are made public.

A space separates words and makes them into individual tags. You might have a look at how your resources are tagged and edit them by clicking on "bookmark" and revising your tags. See also Diigo help for how to tag. You are missing the "setonhall" or setonhall15 tags for this assignment so folks can't search for and find your contributions. See assignment 2 instructions for details.

A space separates words and makes them into individual tags. You might have a look at how your resources are tagged and edit them by clicking on "bookmark" and revising your tags. See also Diigo help for how to tag. You are missing the "setonhall" or setonhall15 tags for this assignment on this post but have it on others so folks can't search for and find your contributions. You might want to make the tags consistent for your own use too as when you do a search for setonhall it won't necessarily find your items tagged setonhallteaching or setonhall15. Consistent tagging will make life easier. See assignment 2 instructions.

How can you engage your students and be sure they are learning the conceptual foundations of a lecture course? In From Questions to Concepts, Harvard University Professor Eric Mazur introduces Peer Instruction and Just-in-Time teaching -- two innovative techniques for lectures that use in-class discussion and immediate feedback to improve student learning. Using these techniques in his innovative undergraduate physics course, Mazur demonstrates how lectures and active learning can be successfully combined. This video is also available as part of another DVD, Interactive Teaching, which contains advice on using peer instruction and just-in-time teaching to promote better learning.
