I researched (and procrastinated) I started developing a running list of different ways Pinterest could be tied back in with Bloom’s taxonomy, which is my go-to for aligning technology tools with educational standards.

The Christopher Stevens Youth Network/CE2.0 –iEARN Jordan Workshop February 23rd, 2013 iEARN-Jordan conducted a training workshop on February 23rd, 2013 as part of the Christopher Stevens Youth Network: Global Connections 2.0. Fifteen educators from Jordan, Kuwait and the USA participated in the workshop. Ms. Khitam Al-Utaibi, iEARN-Jordan Representative delivered the training on two parts. The first part of the workshop was about learning what is iEARN and take a tour in some of the 300 online projects. After teachers were introduced to iEARN, they had hands on training on some of the essential aspects in Project-Based Learning as well as engaging teachers in some activities related to building skills in grouping strategies, debate strategies and tuning protocols in projects. iEARN International celebrates this year its 25th Anniversary and iEARN-Jordan celebrated this occasion with all participants in the presence of all attendees with a cake that has the logos of the US Department of State, iEARN-Jordan, GCE and the iEARN International logo for the 25th Anniversary.
Building for Connected TV is complicated The TV Application Layer originated from our ambition to run BBC iPlayer, News and Sport applications for Connected TVs on as many different devices as possible. There are hundreds of different devices in the marketplace and they all use slightly different technology to achieve the same result. Having figured out how to build an application on a specific device we want to use this knowledge to build additional applications for that device. Our answer to this challenge is the TV Application Layer (TAL). By abstracting the differences between devices and creating a number of TV-specific graphical building blocks (like carousels, data grids and lists), we provide a platform upon which we can build our applications.

Today is the second annual Digital Learning Day, designated to bring attention to the benefits of technology for learning. As part of the effort, PBS LearningMedia has released a survey showing that 74 percent of teachers say educational technology benefits their classroom in many ways, including the ability to reinforce and expand content, motivate students, and respond to a variety of learning styles. Given these numbers, and despite increasing access, it’s not surprising that 68 percent of teachers still want more access to technology in the classroom. That number goes up to 75 percent of teachers in low-income schools.

... If Seymour Papert is the Father of Educational Computing, then Cynthia Soiomon is the Mother of Educational Computing! Not only did Cynthia help create the first programming language for children, but she developed many of the pedagogical approaches and activities we still use to teach children to use computers. Forty five years later, Logo is still in use by millions of children around the world in the form of Scratch, MicroWorlds, Snap! and other dialects. The Twenty Things to Do with a Computer paper written by Solomon and Papert in 1970 or ’71 remains provocative today and lays the foundation for the maker movement sweeping the globe.

The Giver is a novel written by Lois Lowry, April 16, 1993. It is set in a future society which is at first presented as a utopian society and gradually appears more and more dystopian; therefore, it could be considered anti-utopian. The novel follows a boy named Jonas through the twelfth year of his life. The society has eliminated pain and strife by converting to "Sameness", a plan which has also eradicated emotional depth from their lives. Jonas is selected to inherit the position of "Receiver of Memory," the person who stores all the memories of the time before Sameness, in case they are ever needed to aid in decisions that others lack the experience to make. As Jonas receives the memories from the previous receiver—the "Giver"—he discovers how shallow his community's life has become.
