"21 Things That Will Become Obsolete in Education by 2020"

The purpose of this resource is to provide "Just in Time" training through an online interface for K-12 educators based on the National Educational Technology Standards for Teachers (NETS-T). These standards are the basic technology skills every educator should possess. In the process, educators will develop their own skills and discover what students need in order to meet the NETS for Students, as well as the new MMC Online Experience requirement. Participants who fulfill all of the requirements have the opportunity to earn SBCEU's. To learn more about the session, look under the tab "The 21 Things". We hope you take advantage of this unique opportunity.

The Ze Frank vid at the bottom of this piece is interesting!

At the end of a long hadeeth, beloved prophet Mohammad (PBUH) said, '..Then it will be a Khilafah on the premises of the Prophet Hood', then he (the Prophet) kept silent. (Musnad Ahmed) This hadeeth foretold about a future regime which to be established before the last day and not yet happened. The Muslim Ummah (society) has gone through almost every stages noted unless through a Khilafah (a perfect regime) after its drop in 1923 in Istanbul. And it's glad to say that some nations, some leaders and some movements throughout the Muslim community have started their try towards a Khilafah and to establish it soon. Anyhow it won't be a regime same as which was in Medina, Bagdad, Damascus, Delhi, Cairo and then in Istanbul. As to conditions of an era change the features of a rule and regime too change as it goes. Every one could easily understand this thing. In this situation, whoever tries for a Khilafah, which is same as in past won't be suitable and won't last almost wont starts.

The annual anniversary of the tragedy of 9/11 passed with much fanfare as it has been passing ‎for last ten years. Taking stock of things as an ordinary US citizen, you will feel that as an ‎individual, you have lost much and as a country, the United States has lost even more than you ‎do. The first blow that the incident of 9/1 caused was restrictions on the personal freedoms ‎specifically if you belong to Muslim and Indian community, having your surname or first name ‎sounding Muhammad, Mahmood or Ahmad. You go through constant hassles and mental ‎torture of eves dropping by the security agency and then bickering and slander by the all and ‎sundry as if you are a walking anathema in the United States. Thought this is not common and ‎widespread, yet it is a fact that several Asian and Middle Eastern Muslims have testified. ‎ The second fallout is decrease in tolerance and misuse of the freedom of expression. Again the ‎most of the victims are Muslims even though one has been living in the United States for ‎decades. A home to so many freedom loving persons, the United States is no more considered a ‎safe haven for several migrant Muslim communities. They are no more tolerated in the same ‎way as they used to enjoy freedom before the 9/11 and second is attacks that should be called ‎vicious attacks like the fellow Terry Jones and recently filming against Islam and Prophet ‎‎[PBUH] are quite on the rise. It is sheer misuse of freedom of expression that different anti-‎Islamic demagogues are spitting their venom using social media and other platforms and ‎creating physical violence. The consequence is that the Americans specifically ordinary ‎Americans are becoming targets of the ensuring violence as it has happened in Libya and Egypt ‎the other day.‎

And for those of you who have heard of twitter and have dismissed it thinking '"Twitter is for people with too much time on their hands" - think again Educators are connecting with each other on Twitter and using it like a big teachers lunch room that's open 24/7 whenever they need help, assistance or just want to connect with others.

InterroBang?! is a game where you get to have fun with problems. Students complete real-world missions with deeds that can win prizes, improve problem solving skills, and connect them with others to do things that just might change the world.
