Databases Digital Plagiarism: The Role of Society and Technology Examines the application of the World Wide Web in class education and research and the ways in which the Internet has enabled cheating and given educators ways to fight plagiarism. Internet-based information has had a profound effect on the way people can now educate themselves from a pool of seemingly endless content. It is estimated by the NEC Research Institute that there are more then 1.4 billion pages on the Internet with 25 new pages being added every second (Dyrli 1). With so much available content, the application of the World Wide Web in class education and research has now become common practice in schools and universities. As a result, the Internet has succeeded in its purposes of bringing together information from one part of the World to another. But like most great advancements in modern technology, the Internet's purposes have become altered and used for other nefarious acts.

Lincoln's Inn Fields - No. 13 (Sir John Soane's Museum) | Survey of London: volume 3 (pp. 26-31) Ground landlords. Trustees of Sir John Soane's Museum. Description and date of structure. The original houses from No. 13 onwards on the north side of Lincoln's Inn Fields were built in accordance with the agreement come to in 1657 between the Society of Lincoln's Inn and Sir William Cowper, Robert Henley and James Cowper. (fn. 1) Faithorne and Newcourt's map (Plate 4), dated 1658, shows the houses as completed, and they may, therefore, be assigned to that year. The house is thus described in a deed of 1737 (fn. 2) :—"That messuage scituate in the North Row, called Holborn Row or Turnstile Row, in the north part of Cupfield in St. From the above it is evident that this was the house known as "The Pineapples" in the days before the numbering of Lincoln's Inn Fields, in the same way as No. 44 on the south side was known as "The Two Black Griffins." The house was rebuilt in 1753 after the occupation of Sir Thomas Burnet. Plate 14 shows the dining room and library. Condition of repair.

Free Technology for Teachers NoodleTools : MLA, APA, and Chicago/Turabian Bibliography Composer, Online Notecards A home fit for a genius: Sir John Soane's Museum - Architecture - Arts & Entertainment The answer: Sir John Soane's Museum in Lincoln's Inn Fields, the world's most brilliant conflation of domestic and curatorial spaces. To enter Soane's masterpiece, whose £7m restoration scheme will be announced today, is to walk straight into the mind of a genius. The public – or "amateurs and students" as Soane described them – have been doing just that since soon after his death in 1837. He established his house as a public museum via an Act of Parliament in 1833 that stipulated that the three buildings that made it up be kept "as nearly as possible in the state in which he shall leave it". In his lifetime, Soane's reputation as an architect was high, but not ethereally so. And so, Soane's home and museum, built between 1792 and 1824, remains his most potent memorial. The museum and other rooms are laden with hundreds of works of art and historical objects, including the sarcophagus of Seti I, Roman marbles, prints by Hogarth, and paintings by Canaletto and Turner.

Sweet Search Literacy 2.0:Teaching Media Literacy Jane L. David Media literacy is making a comeback, spurred by students' access to unlimited information on the Internet. Can schools provide the skills students need to become media literate in a digital world? What's the Idea? The Internet has kindled a resurgence of interest in media literacy. Media literacy in the past tended to focus on alerting students to stereotypes, advertising, and propaganda and on protecting them from undesirable influences. What's the Reality? Although some countries (notably Canada, England, and Australia) have made progress in integrating media literacy into the school curriculum, schools in the United States generally have lagged behind (Hobbs & Frost, 2003). Advocates of digital media education agree that reading online demands different skills than reading print-only texts does. What's the Research? Research on teaching digital media literacy is in its infancy. Survey results confirm that students are increasingly online both in school and at home. Jane L.

Sir John Soane's Museum, 3 interiors (London) « Caruso St John Architects 2009–2012Location: London, GBClient: Sir John Soane's MuseumProject Status: Built The interiors of Sir John Soane’s Museum are characterised by an enormous and engaging variety made up of objects, furniture and space. Soane’s genius is as much about a splendid organisation of light and space, as it is about a connoisseur’s eye for precious objects and an ability to bring seemingly disparate things together. This work is intended to provide a seamless mediation between drawings, objects, interpretation, merchandise and the ‘room’.
