At Bosch Car Service we see what others do not.Duh, it's supposed to be flipped because it's in the southern hemisphere, where everything is backwards. I can tell you haven't worked in the Argentinian car repair industry. Duh.Thanks to Tomi!

Tom Barrett is an assistant headteacher at a primary school in north Nottinghamshire, England. We first noticed Tom's blog in May when he gave a week by week account of introducing Google Docs and Google Apps to his Year 5 students. Tom's starting a new term this September and we've invited him to share some best practices for introducing new people (in his case, his 10-year-olds) to Google Docs.Modeling expected behavior and good practices firstAs ...

Without question, this is a fantastic learning experience.Nevertheless, I'm wondering what to do about this (found here):Is this a case of don't ask, don't tell - or is there really a legitimate way to allow our elementary students to use Google Docs? As an advocate for using this kind of activity in classrooms across my district, I'm hoping we can all be legit'.Image Source: Brian CrosbyTechnorati Tags: googledocs skype elementary education technology

One of my favorite bloggers is Stephanie Nielson "NieNie." She is a young mother of 4 who chronicles her life with her children in the sweetest photographs. Where I would see a banana peel on the couch and yell at the perp who left it there, NieNie will photograph it, write "Ollie was here" on the photo and post it on her blog. I just found out that Stephanie and her husband, Christian were in ...

Windows only: Free application Quick Media Converter converts virtually any audio or video file from one format to another. Like previously mentioned WinFF (and several other media conversion tools), Quick Media Converter is really just a graphical front end for the powerful command line tool, FFmpeg. But where FFmpeg takes some command line chops to use, Quick Media Converter couldn't be more simple. Just drag and drop a file you want to convert into the ...

I am a lifelong fan of Adobe PDF files but I am unwilling to pay a minimum $300 for Adobe Acrobat. I would much rather look around for free open-source alternatives and today I found a nice little software tool that allows you to take a PDF file and split it up into lots of little PDF files as well as merge lots of PDF files together. It’s called PDF Split and Merge. Just what ...

As a college student, I would have to say that for me the most difficult part of financing higher education is tuition. Going to a private institution, and even a public institution, can be a very expensive life cost. Fortunately, there are scholarships and grants scattered all over the place just waiting for students to take advantage of. With that taken care of, the second most difficult finance in college is textbooks. Textbooks can cost ...

One of the key tasks we have as 21st Century Educators is to educate our students about Intellectual Property Rights. They are in a world where everything is available at the click of a button. Its an instant world with instant gratification. To often we see our students (and our staff) grab content particularly images and use these without recognition for the publisher or artist. How many of them consider whether or not the content ...

These days virtually everyone is in touch with Cloud Computing. In fact, most of us are relying on it to some degree. The internet, metaphorically referred to as “the cloud”, produces ever more Web 2.0 applications that enable us to take our lives online. We don’t write diaries - we blog. We don’t call to share news - we twitter. We meet friends through social networks, and our busy calendars are readily available online. Ultimately, ...

It became quite apparent very quickly that Posterous is by far the easiest way to blog. Most importantly for me it deals with media for you, if you throw an image or audio file in your email it appears here without any further intervention. This does simplify the whole process so much it is worth considering for the classroom. So what questions do I have about using it in the classroom? Can I associate 30 ...
