    Shows use of 2 google tools - looks intriguing. Wonder Wheel gives you a visual picture of relationships or subsets of the term you searched; you can then search on the subsets of interest. Timeline arranges links in order, from oldest to newest, and shows a frequency distribution of the links, over time. This includes ancient (pre-internet) information, if it's coded with a publication date.

  • Where once it was seen as a monolith, a discrete and singular entity, today scientists find it is more productive to think of language as a suite of abilities.
  • component parts of language - everything from gesticulation and babbling to meaning and syntax - are not as unique as the whole.
  • gestures
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • gestures of non-human primates are not merely innate reflexes but are learned, flexible and under voluntary control - all characteristics that are considered prerequisites for human-like communication.
  • She found that both human babies and apes use similar gestures to make requests,
  • pre-linguistic infants babble, and it turns out they are not alone in this either - dolphins, and even songbirds

    "THERE was a time when we thought humans were special in so many ways. Now we know better. We are not the only species that feels emotions, empathises with others or abides by a moral code. Neither are we the only ones with personalities, cultures and the ability to design and use tools. Yet we have steadfastly clung to the notion that one attribute, at least, makes us unique: we alone have the capacity for language."

  • In 2008, a pair of researchers at the University of Texas showed that the customer data released for that first contest, despite being stripped of names and other direct identifying information, could often be “de-anonymized” by statistically analyzing an individual’s distinctive pattern of movie ratings and recommendations.
  • By examining correlations between various online accounts, the scientists showed that they could identify more than 30 percent of the users of both Twitter, the microblogging service, and Flickr, an online photo-sharing service, even though the accounts had been stripped of identifying information like account names and e-mail addresses.
  • Alessandro Acquisti and Ralph Gross reported that they could accurately predict the full, nine-digit Social Security numbers for 8.5 percent of the people born in the United States between 1989 and 2003 — nearly five million individuals.

    Scary how much information can be gleaned about you by mining the data in your profiles and what your "friends" and "networks" say about you. This is a real consideration for using social networking tools in education.

    This is a fascinating concept with some interesting possibilities- Most students have a cell phone, it's affordable technology- Being able to leverage that ubiquitous technology to teach is a clever idea; however, the teacher using it should be savvy to the various ways that a cell phone can be misused in a classroom before they try it-
