I was a shy student. It took me until middle school to actually feel comfortable enough around my classmates to speak up in class. Back then, there was no Twitter. Now, shy students are apparently preferring to communicate with their teacher via Twitter instead of raising their hand.

June 29, 2010 Reviewer: D. Matheny (Austin, TX) - Well, my wife and I have been using our new Aria phones for about a week now. I switched from a Blackberry Bold and she was using a 1st generation iPhone (although hers didn't have any data plan). We also purchased one of the 3G MicroCells from AT&T at the same time - so our cell signal at home is now better than I thought would be possible. As far as our profiles go: I'm a tech addict - I work at home as a C/C++ programmer and tend to be an early adopter of anything tech related. My wife is kind of the opposite - she relies on me to keep the tech stuff going and tends to resist new technology since she knows it can often be more of a headache than it is worth:). Fortunately, this phone is working for both of us. The Android OS has been great - although there are some features in the next version (Froyo) that I wish were on this phone already. I spent several hours yesterday figuring out how to 'root' this phone and I did end up getting it done last night. My wife's went a lot faster since I already understood the process.

An article about story boarding and how it relates to a modern presentation such as the TED style talks. Very good embedded video about Walt Disney and the development and use of story boarding in animation.

Create a vritual shelf ot show off your books. Connect with your friends. Discover exciting new titles. Voice your opinion. See what your friends are reading, what others with similar tastes have enjoyed, and even get book recommendations.

This is a great site that I have used for many years. I have used it with elementary (5th grade) students several years However, teachers should know that you need to monitor and teach use of this site. It is essentially a social networking site and the kids will learn to use it as such very quickly. There are adult themed books as well as independent groups where inappropriate discussions take place. I have emailed Shelfari and asked if they plan to make an education version or limited account option for use with students. That being said I think it's a great platform for teaching those essential netiquette skills!

This is similar to LibraryThing, which I've used with high school and college students. http://www.librarything.com/ It's always great to come across different applications. Thanks.

Such a brilliant tool for me as teacher! No more telephone bookings for PTS meetings!

This is a very useful tool for setting meetings with a group of busy co-workers, or even family. Just set the basic dates and times and email it to the others. They indicate their preferences or availability. You get access to the combined most frequent times. Great way to find When Is Good!
