Ahead - Playground for creative minds - 0 views

  •  
    Ahead is a web application that facilitates Creative processes. We are a team of architects, designers, developers, and business people with backgrounds in the creative industry. Ahead originated out of frustration with the shortcomings of current tools for online collaboration and publishing because we don't think they support rich media and visual creative processes and communication very well. Inspired by the proven zoom and pan user interfaces known from main creative authoring tools like Autodesk, Adobe, and Sketch-up we're committed to develop the first online tool ever that makes it as fast, natural and fun to publish and work with visual concepts together online.

'Addicted to Progress' on Tests: A Turnaround Strategy - Curriculum Matters - Education... - 0 views

  •  
    Good article. I liked the comment! To make positive change, there is a formula that can work. 1. The center of curriculum revolves around the Common Core State Standards. 2. Common formative assessments are developed and analyzed measuring the students' abilities of the standards. 3. An engaging and relevant content curriculum that matches the skills we are teaching our children. 4. Use proven research-based instruction in the classroom. It sounds easy, but we tend to focus too much on content and testing as opposed to skill development.

China returns the Burmese refugees - 0 views

  •  
    Selon un communiqué de l'American Agency, ABC News, la Chine a obligé 1 000 réfugiés Birmans à retourner sur la zone de conflit militaire dans le nord de la Birmanie au cours des semaines passées, et la Chine compte encore renvoyer 4 000 refugiés de plus. Les réfugiés qui se sont enfuis en Chine sont des réfugiés de l'ethnie Kachin, qi ont commencé à se battre contre le gouvernement Birman lorsque l'armée a essayé de fermet une base militaire Kachin proche du barrage hydro-électrique en construction. Le combat a commencé en Juin dernier et mis fin à dix-sept ans de cessez-le feu entre le gouvernement en Birmanie et l'armée Indépendant de Kachin (KIA). Ce combat mobilisa 75 000 personnes. La sauvegarde des droits de l'homme basée à New York a fait appel au gouvernement Chinois pour stopper le renvoi des réfugiés Birmans en Birmanie, et demanda de leur fournir une protection temporaire à la province de Yunnan situé à la frontière Nord de la Birmanie. «La Chine méprise ses obligations légales internationales en forçant les réfugiés Kachin à retourner dans une zone de conflit sous l'abus de l'armée Birmane, » selon Bill Frelick du HRW. De l'autre côté de la Birmanie, les Bouddhistes organisent une protestation contre ce qu'ils appellent l'interférence des Nations Unies dans l'Etat Rahkine Occidental - où des douzaines de personnes sont tuées dans des affrontements entre les Bouddhistes et les Musulmans. Les manifestations viennent après la décision du Président de la Birmanie sur la formation d'une commission indépendante pour enquêter sur cette violence, en même temps que la requête faite par l'envoyé spécial des Nations unies, Thomas Ojea Quintana, qui a visité la région concernée il y a quelques mois. Aux alentours de 100 manifestants se sont rassemblés sous la direction du député du Rahkine Nationalities Development Party au parlement en dehors de la maison du parl

Twiducate.com - Social Networking For Schools - 0 views

  •  
    twiducate.com is a free resource for educators. Developed in 2009, our goal is to create a medium for teachers and students to continue their learning outside the classroom. We attempt to fill a need for a more educationally focused, safe venue for teachers, schools, and home learners in a social networking environment. We understand that many social networking sites exist, however the control of content is limited for teachers. Also, many of these social networking sites are continuously being blocked by school firewalls and administrators. Our service proudly differs in that only teachers and students may view classroom posts, thus creating a private network for you and your students and a safer online learning environment.
