The London games has a “get set” website which is their official educational platform for the Olympic games. I’ve just spent a little time looking at what you can do there, but you can register, blog about the games, and connect with others. This is the sort of global event where you can meet other classrooms and interact with others.

You can mark and annotate youtube videos with a customized player to mark sections, etc. This embed plus tool is a fascinating one to use with students and in blog posts.

Kathy Cassidy has her six year olds building digital portfolios and shows why and how. If my child was enrolling in school today, I’d ask to see some sample portfolios or where I could access them online. This is a hidden, little requested artifact that can probably tell you more about the progressiveness of a school than anything else!

12 All Forward Resolutions for 2012
I will…
1. link to others generously,
2. retweet great ideas and give credit to original thinkers,
3. mention people by name when they give me ideas, whatever the source may be,
4. work to promote the work of others who support the cause of teaching, reaching, (and loving) every child,
5. respect each person as an original,
6. extend my hand of fellowship and friendship,
7. be the Internet I want my children to inherit,
8. be kind to others even when they don’t deserve it,
9. stand up for the right thing even when it means I will be ridiculed for it, (All it takes is for good people to be quiet for horrible things to happen.)
10. discover and share new voices with the spotlight gifted to me by readers and friends,
11. be passionate to speak for those who do not have a voice: those in slavery, the poor, those separated by the digital divide, and
12. listen to you when you speak and seek discernment about what to do with what you say.

Narrative Science, a company affiliated with Northwestern University, has devised a new computer software that can write news articles in under a minute. The articles sound like they were written by humans, impressing robotics and language experts. “It’s as if a human wrote it.”
Except… a computer actually wrote it.
Narrative Science says it already has 20 customers using the technology.
We have more reason than ever to know the humans who write our news- a new computer program is able to write convincing news articles and 20 customers are already using it! Another one for bloggers (as long as they are ethical and write their own stuff.)
