15 Best Sites for Open Source Images

The only thing was that when the students inquired where the photos came from, the teacher said he searched for them using Google.

Snapchat tells teens: Keep your clothes on!

Ahh, Valentine's Day: the day of romance, filled as it is with roses, chocolate, and college kids sneaking into football stadiums to have sex and chronicle it on Snapchat.

Snapchat tells teens: Keep your clothes on!

Like any Snapchat image that's timed to disappear within seconds but does not, the image of the young woman in the story above, sans pants, was probably screenshotted before it was posted to a Snapchat account called "Volnationsnaps" and then onto Instagram. Really, it was just another day for the Snapchat app, where non-disappearing snaps are old hat. But this time (at least in theory), those kids should have known better, given that Snapchat had launched the Snapchat Safety Center just a few days earlier.

In this idea, Stommel shifts the practice of pedagogy as a vehicle for “teaching” to something more whole–considering the humanities not as a school of thought or academic genre, but rather a reason for being. Stommel offers four characteristics of critical digital pedagogy. 1. 2. 3. 4.

Website shut down after cheating claims

New Zealand Qualification Authority (NZQA) lawyer Anna Longdill lodged an application for an interim injunction in the High Court at Auckland this morning. The website - called Assignment 4U - has been offline since yesterday afternoon. Today in court lawyers for Assignment4U's parent company Ateama Ltd gave a written undertaking that the website would not advertise or providing cheating services.
