  • Lastly, we’re exposing simple summary information on the page as you refine your search. For example, try looking for Creative Commons licensed videos of dogs made after 1st January 2009 and you’ll see all that information listed above your search. Over time, we’ll bring more and more advanced features directly into the page.

      This should make it easier to use the Flickr search for finding Creative Commons images.

Social Networking on Intranets (Jakob Nielsen's Alertbox) - 0 views

  • An old lesson that holds true with social software is that a bunch of stand-alone tools will provide a disconnected user experience, causing employees to waste inordinate amounts of time moving between environments.
    • Paul Allison
       
      This feels even more true in schools. I'm worried about the different environments we are introducing into the Youth Voices community: Google Apps, Diigo now too?, VoiceThread, and Drupal... probably more. Need to think on these matters.

Opposing Viewpoints Resource Center Document - 0 views

  • Cunningham, 80, whose innovative choreography has been expanding audiences' expectations about dance for more than 50 years, is reticent about connecting the dots. "The only relationship between the virtual and real dancers is the one you make for yourself," he says, comparing the experience of watching Biped to channel surfing. But that may be precisely the point, according to Roger Copeland, author of an upcoming book on the choreographer. Copeland believes that Biped, like much of Cunningham's recent work, is about how to focus your attention in a world full of distractions. "It's a model for a very progressive society, where different components are able to exist side by side without encroaching on one another." That may sound like a pipe dream, but in Cunningham's inspired rendition, it's an irresistible one.

      This is what I'm talking about. Years before his time Cunningham was showing us how to live through his art.

Father Flynn's Light - New Journalism - 0 views

  • Not much happens in “The Sisters,” the first story in James Joyce’s Dubliners.  Some of the meaning in the story comes from descriptions of the light in and around the house where the town’s old priest, Father Flynn’s body lies.  Other meanings come through the characters’ memories of the priest, expressed through incomplete dialog and longer reveries by the narrator. Additional meanings can be surmised from the vocabulary, some of the specific words Joyce uses in the story, “like the word gnomon in the Euclid and the word simony in the Catechism.”
    • Paul Allison
       
      The idea of looking for meaning in the descriptions of the light came to me pretty quickly. Then I realized that I could find other aspects of the story where meanings come through: characters' dialog and internal monologue of the narrator; and in the use of language. I started to see that this initial paragraph could make my whole argument in short hand. Then I would develop these themes in the remainder of the writing.
    • Paul Allison
       
      This essay began as a set of notes that I put on a Book Glutton version of Dubliners. I'm reading there this summer to see how it works. Then I copied the notes into a Google Doc, and I organized them and re-wrote them into this essay. With this essay I'm trying to figure out what I mean when I ask students to create a close reading of a text. What exactly are we asking students to do? We're not asking them to do research. Instead we are asking them to "use the language of the literature" (as an MIT professor put it in her syllabus ) n their own analysis of the particular, representative and evocatve sections of the text.
  • The narrator, a young man is introduced in the first paragraph as someone on vacation. He has had some sort of relationship with the man who at that point lies paralyzed inside his house after he has had his third stroke. It’s night when the story starts and the narrator is out for his regular evening walk. The narrator doesn’t feel invited into outside the house, but he also has a morbid attraction to what is happening with the man who has had the stroke.
    • Paul Allison
       
      This paragraph was a slight revision from the note I posted on the first paragraph on Book Glutton. I like the way this paragraph follows the arc of the story, not revealing much about the story beyond what we know in the first paragraph. It tries to explain the meanings we can gather from the descriptions that Joyce give us in that first paragraph.

What Does the Internet Think? - 0 views

  •  
    Ever wonder what the internet thinks about a topic? This site will run search terms through a variety of search engines (one at a time or all at once) and then run a highly scientific evaluation of whether the web views that topic positively, negatively, or indifferently. The results are fun and fascinating!

      Not another one! Okay, how does this fit with the Stripling Model of Inquiry? And how do both of those fit with the Mosaic of Thought's 7 habits? And do all three of these integrate with the roles students take in Literature Circles? And what about Ian Jukes 5A's of becoming NetSavvy? And what about the 6+1 Traits of Writing? Does it make your head spin like mine?

    Friendly is important!! I want to be able to carry this list around in my head, and I want to students to be able to do it too.
