Education.com 2007
For teens, life is not a playground, it's a jungle. And, being the parent of a teenager isn't any walk in the park, either.

E-Parenting: More than ever before, today's kids need their parents to help them acquire the skills to use time wisely. Technology has opened many doors to vast amounts of information, social networks around the world, and new career development opportunities.

How can I talk to my child's teacher?

ISEA.ORG by Sam Horn
Lisa, a mother of eight-year-old twins, told me, "I've seen all the studies that report how important it is to be involved in your children's education. But every time I try to talk to their teachers, I get the impression I'm bothering them. Any suggestions?" "Perhaps it's the way you're talking to them," I gently suggested. "Most teachers today are overworked and underappreciated.

The smell of school supplies fills the air, back to school lists often include the usual pencil, binder, loose leaf, sharpener, eraser, etc. While those traditional items might lighten the wallet of families and come out of Teachers Choice for educators in NYC, innovative educators like me are preparing a slightly different list geared toward engaging our digital native students and supporting my own 21st century practices.

Tech Learning by Lisa Nielsen
I’m often asked for advice on how to get started with using 21st century tools to enhance teaching and learning. The mistake some people make is believing educators instantly need to become producers of websites, blogs, wikis, podcasts, social networks etc. Most educators need to become comfortable and familiar as participants in these environments before they can feel successful as creators in these areas.

So, I got this email the other day. You know the type, one from a not all together legitimate website, saying “Hey Link to My Post” your readers might want the information. The post purported to be a list of the top 50 iPhone applications for educators. The only problem is that some of the things listed were not iPhone apps, a few were just mobile websites, and at least one listed doesn’t even exist. Nevertheless I did pick up one useful bit of information, World Cat has a mobile optimized website. If you want to read the original post…

How to Build a Paper Research Wiki

Study Hacks May 11. 2009
Beyond Databases. Back in the early days of Study Hacks, I introduced the paper research database. The idea was to build a database of every quote you might need to cite in your paper. These citations could be sorted by date or type, and be linked to their matching source. The technique works because it helps you build and organize a comprehensive understanding of an event or idea before you start writing about it. I should be clear: I love this technique. I used it to write two massive art history research papers while here at MIT. Recently, however, when… Click Here To Read The Full Article

As promised, here’s a look at ten vendors and their products from CES that I hope to learn more about over the coming months.

I just returned from San Francisco where I attended the BlogHer conference at the request of a client. Over the weekend I met, or at least was in the same room as, maybe 1000 women bloggers. Yeah--there's a boatload of us/them. The largest contingent by far was the group known as MommyBloggers, a designation I'm pretty much over, if I was ever there at all. No doubt I adore my children to the point of idiocy, but my days of full-time mommyhood are long gone and I'm old and cranky enough to no longer be fascinated by first words,..

Innovation from Recession - Things are looking pretty bleak right now. But, the saying goes, necessity is the mother of invention. So BusinessWeek asked several futurists, including Futurist.com's Glen Hiemstra, consultant David Zach, and author Howard Rheingold, to describe what they'd like to see arise from the current downturn. Notably, our experts didn't think of innovation merely in terms of products or services. These ideas will change the way humans interact with the earth—and with each other. 1 Ocean-Driven Hydropower - Till now, hydropower has mostly been generated at dams. Now, turbines around the world are being designed to…

Ditching Binary Makes Powerful Computers

2010-03-01T11:59:00.000-06:00

New Scientist by Paul Marks August 2009
Memo to the developers of superfast quantum computers: give up on the familiar 1s-and-0s binary system used in conventional computers. By switching to a novel five-state system, you will find it easier to build the staggeringly powerful machines. So claim Matthew Neeley and colleagues at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB). So far, the development of quantum computers has followed the traditional binary computing model. This encodes all information using components that can be in two states, either 1 or 0. But other possibilities exist, Neeley explains.

How it Works: The Fastball

2010-03-01T11:58:00.001-06:00

Popular Science by Corey Binns 07.17.2008
The biomechanics behind throwing 100 mph without ripping your elbow apart. The slingshot move of a pro pitcher’s shoulder is the fastest recorded action in sports. A pitch’s power, however, is generated by his entire body. For a right-handed pitcher, the chain of kinetic energy starts as soon as he lifts his left leg and faces third base. The energy of that foot landing transfers into the rotation of the trunk and then finally unleashes in the arm whipping around at the elbow. Glenn Fleisig, the research director of the American Sports Medicine Institute, has found that the hardest throwers…

The Physics of Shaun White

2010-03-01T11:58:00.000-06:00

AOL News by Gregory Mone Feb. 19, 2010
After taking his second consecutive gold in the men's halfpipe event at the Winter Olympics, U.S. snowboarder Shaun White is clearly the dominant athlete in his sport, and arguably in all of the Winter Games. So what makes him so great? What underlying abilities allow him to pull off those Double McTwist 1260s? According to University of Virginia physicist Louis Bloomfield, author of the book "How Everything Works," it's a mix of factors. Ultimately, though, White's soaring performances all come down to raw energy. 1. Takeoff. All the riders start from the same gate, or the same height relative to…

Building an Interstate Highway for Energy

2010-03-01T11:57:00.001-06:00

Discover Magazine Written by Peter Fairley June 10, 2009
Tomorrow’s smart grid will keep the lights on and factories humming with clean (but fickle) renewable energy. President Obama plans to spend billions building it. General Electric is already running slick ads touting the technology behind it. And Greenpeace declares that it is a great idea. But what exactly is a “smart grid”? According to one big-picture description, it is much of what today’s power grid is not, and more of what it must become if the United States is to replace carbon-belching, coal-fired power with renewable energy generated from sun and wind...

Making Computers a Partner, Not a Product

2010-03-01T11:55:00.001-06:00

ZDNET by Chris Jablonski August 20th, 2009
Researchers at Oregon State University are hoping to improve artificial intelligence with a project the uses “rich interaction” to teach machines when they make mistakes. Their work would allow for ordinary users who spot a computer’s errors to be able to step in and explain directly to the machine the logic it should be using. The scientists claim that the project is based on an idea that is one of the latest advances in machine learning and artificial intelligence– A computer that not only learns from its own experiences, but also listens to the user, tries to combine what it…

Wired by Priya Ganapati September 11, 2009
Dread going the doctor? It could be worse. Your next physician could have the bedside manner of a robot. In fact, your next physician could be a robot. Scared yet? Surgeons and medical engineers have been trying to create machines that can assist in surgery, increase a surgeon’s dexterity and support hospital staff. These aren’t humanoid robots but computer controlled systems that have been optimized for use in sensitive situations. An exhibition called Sci-fi Surgery: Medical Robots, opening this week at the Hunterian Museum of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, shows a range of robots used in medicine… Click Here To Read The Full Article
