Your Brain on Google: Interview with Dr. Teena Moody - 0 views

  •  
    "Well, we were very interested in two ideas. One was how do the patterns of brain activity differ when you're doing an internet search versus reading, since computers are such a big part of our lives these days? And then we also wanted to look at different groups of people, people who were internet-savvy and had lots of computer exposure and experience, and compared that to naive subjects - with "naive" we mean people who don't use computers or the internet very often."

Better Strategies Needed for School Internet Access - 0 views

  •  
    Under the Children's Internet Protection Act of 2000, any school or library that uses federal funds to buy computers is required to install Internet filters. Such legislation may score political points, but it isn't safeguarding students from online hazards. More often, filters hamstring teachers' efforts to develop lessons that effectively prepare students for 21st-century challenges.

Official Google Blog: From the height of this place - 0 views

  • More Internet-enabled phones will be sold and activated in 2009 than personal computers.
  • Today, the computer for the rest of us is a phone.
  • Our infrastructure has to keep up with this growth just to maintain our current level of quality, but to actually make search smarter, our index and infrastructure need to grow at a pace FASTER than the web.

      I find this to be an excellent sentence that can be applied to public education as well.

  • When data is abundant, intelligence will win
  • No one argues the value of free speech, but the vast majority of stuff we find on the web is useless. The clamor of junk threatens to drown out voices of quality.
  • One thing that we have learned in our industry is that people have a lot to say. They are using the Internet to publish things at an astonishing pace. 120K blogs are created daily — most of them with an audience of one. Over half of them are created by people under the age of nineteen. In the US, nearly 40 percent of Internet users upload videos, and globally over fifteen hours of video are uploaded to YouTube every minute. The web is very social too: about one of every six minutes that people spend online is spent in a social network of some type.
  • The real potential of cloud computing lies not in taking stuff that used to live on PCs and putting it online, but in doing things online that were previously simply impossible.
  • Oil fueled the Industrial Revolution, but data will fuel the next generation of growth.
  • Now, the best technology starts with consumers, where a Darwinian market drives innovation that far surpasses traditional enterprise tools, and migrates to the workplace only after thriving with consumers.
  • Cloud computing levels that playing field so that the small business has access to the same systems that large businesses do. Given that small businesses generate most of the jobs in the economy, this is no small trend.
  • With facts, negotiations can become less about who yells louder, but about who has the stronger data.
  • Similarly, we manage Google with a long-term focus.

Kevin Kelly -- The Technium - 0 views

  • Even a dog knows you can't erase something once it's flowed on the internet.
  • If reproductions of our best efforts are free, how can we keep going? To put it simply, how does one make money selling free copies?
  • When copies are super abundant, they become worthless. When copies are super abundant, stuff which can't be copied becomes scarce and valuable.

  • In a real sense, these are eight things that are better than free. Eight uncopyable values.

    "CIVCC.ORG joins content suppliers and educational practitioners who otherwise would not easily discover each other due to the vastness of the internet. The objective is quite simple: make it easy for an instructor or teacher to choose a virtual field trip or workshop for his or her students. Teachers utilize the CIVCC Guide, an ever-evolving directory of video conferencing content venues, to aid them in evaluating content suppliers, interactive video content, and price directly, or within a collaborative experience with other practitioners who have previously shared their opinions and reviews."

Qld Bullying Expert Michael Carr-Gregg Tells Parents To Set Rules - 0 views

  •  
    "He said support from parents was essential in tackling all forms of bullying, including cyber bullying using mobile phones or social networking websites such as Facebook. "There's a tendency for parents to outsource responsibility to schools, which I don't think is helpful," Dr Carr-Gregg told reporters. Families needed to consider drawing up internet use "contracts" outlining what was acceptable and unacceptable behaviour online, he said."

    This is a good explanation about the trail of data on the web, what some call our footprint, that each of us have. It would be good for teaching internet safety.
