Part of our responsibility as teachers is to prepare our learners for their future. Helping them to understand that the Internet has a very long memory is pato of that role.

Great to know.

This is exactly what you need to know if you're about to sit down and plan your presentation.

Excellent succinct article. Just add practice.

Terrified of presenting in front of an audience? Or just a little shy? How to take your public speaking ability and slide presentations from uncomfortable to awesome.

I have yet to make my first infograph, but am eager to get going.

I'm so in love with tools that help visualize what you do. This is a great list. I can't wait to try the ones I'm not familiar with. 

Liked the list. My personal favorite is Piktochart.

Another tool for curation

I apprecaite the diffficulties in implementing a 1:1 program, especially where none has existed before. But we need to see a 1:1 as merely a first step toward an multi-devices model.

The problem with 1:1 programs is that the focus on a single, common device or a single type of device. e.g. a laptop, in a BYOD environment. That notion is inherently restrictive. And it's not sustainable: a healthy ecosystem--and we should think of schools as learning ecosystems--is heterogenous; the more homogenous it is the more vulnerable it is.

Our users--our students--need to be able to connect with whatever device they happen to have at the moment be it a laptop, tablet or smartphone. We can start with the idea of 1:1 so long as we remember it is not the end goal. We need to make sure whatever structures we put in place to support a 1:1 model easily scales up to support multiple devices...the ∞:1 program.

Awesome info!

In this collection, we share perspectives on coding from a university professor's vantage (MIT's Mitch Resnick describes why learning to code is like learning to learn) to an elementary school's point of view (Sheena Vaidyanathan describes the program for sixth graders in Los Altos, Calif.), and other points in between.

OK this looks interesting but is also slightly disquieting at the same time. At first blush Now could be useful in drawing together information about your day however it's the underlying awareness and aggregation of what might otherwise be sensitive information about yourself that has potential for mischief or worse. Ah well with every advance comes the potential for misadventure or worse. What do others think?

We have the digital equivilent sources in Australian Libraries too

A good range of primary resources that can be used for teaching. The World Digital Library takes you to Australian resources too.

Good links for students and teachers alike, especially in the fields of history and social studies.

Must share with 7th grade students working on a Prezi project

Els prezi vistos des de dins.

Prezi is an amazing tool for clearning student thinking
