PowToon in Your Classroom Read Time: 6 minutes I recently read a study on creativity that blew my mind: “A major factor in creativity is education: not whether you had a ‘good’ or ‘expensive’ or ‘public’ education, but whether you were encouraged to develop your creativity starting at an early age and continuing throughout your school years.” — Adobe Powtoon in Your Classroom — Creativity & Education We saw this first-hand, when Edson Tellez, a volunteer teacher in rural Mexico, wrote to us about how Powtoon changed the way his students viewed the world. The mind blowing fact is that developing creativity is the primary determining factor in the overall success of your students! 1 – Students must have a platform to be creative with (physical materials, online programs, a stage etc…) 2- Direction – Even if you teach in the most affluent school, with the most expensive technology; your students are still only as good as the direction given to them. And Powtoon wants to help you ignite this creativity! 1. 2. 3. 4. Ms.
Downloads - Productivity Tools - Cerebro How to MindMap imindmap calming the senses with weighted blankets « Craft Nectar Note from Weeks: Both my husband and daughter are restless sorts. When our daughter was little and we went to a restaurant, Bill would take her out to run up and down the sidewalk while I paid the bill so she wouldn’t start squirming at the table. Those kids who kick the back of your seat on planes have the same issue. Therapists refer to them as “sensory seeking.” One therapist explained to me that the way I would feel if I sat in a car for ten hours straight is how she feels after sitting for one hour. Bill has talked for years about finding a way to create a heavy blanket that would calm his and our daughter’s restless muscles. Like me, our daughter is frequently restless and, at the end of the day, often asks for a heavy quilt on her legs or for a deep-muscle massage. Little did I know that weighted blankets and vests are in widespread use as therapeutic devices for children and adults with sensory conditions including ADD and autism. Like this: Like Loading...
Presentz Blog « Dr. Diane Hamilton There is no question that the blogosphere is growing. According to webdesignerdepot “WordPress has statistics for both WordPress.com (15.1 million blogs and counting) and self-hosted WordPress installations (17.4 million active installations), which gives part of the picture. There are more than 10 million tumblogs on Tumblr. Blogger doesn’t offer any public statistics on how many blogs they host. Technorati is currently tracking more than 1.2 million blogs. There is no shortage of blog search engines to find blogs that contain information of interest. With all of this information out there, who has time to read it all? There has been speculation about when blogging popularity will die down. With technology constantly changing, people may find it difficult to keep up with it all. Ever wondered how many blogs are there on internet? Like this: Like Loading...

Best ways to acquire user data Once upon a time, bragging rights in the world of online advertising went to the sites and landing pages that got the most impressions. In the old advertising ecosystem, advertisers and publishers alike spent millions of dollars in driving impressions to their site -- statistics that were brandished via impressive Nielsen and ComScore graphs at the end of every month.

Slideshow and Video Maker, Collage Creator and Photo Editor Could a New Name Fix a Company? Chris Russo had a healthy business. The only thing holding it back, he thought, was its name. Three years after its launch in 2006, Fantasy Sports Ventures's revenue was increasing 40 percent to 50 percent a year, a pace that surprised even Russo. Still, Russo was reluctant to tinker with a business that, for the most part, worked. When Russo launched Fantasy Sports Ventures, he brought with him a sizable Rolodex and six years of experience running the new-media division of the National Football League, where he oversaw the release of the league's fantasy football games. Almost from the start, though, FSV's name was a bit of a contradiction; its first acquisition was Hoopsworld, a basketball news site that Russo felt would appeal to fantasy basketball players. By last fall, Kamer and others were pushing for a name change, but Russo remained conflicted. The mood in the room was at times tense. Next, O'Hara began discussing the brand name. Will the rebranding make a difference?
