4 Personal Websites for the Media-Savvy Worker This post originally appeared on the American Express OPEN Forum, where Mashable regularly contributes articles about leveraging social media and technology in small business. You post to Facebook and Twitter accounts, you blog regularly on Tumblr and you upload the occasional YouTube video. On the other hand, you don't own or operate your own website (partly because johnsmith.com was taken 15 years ago). Plus, why worry about one more thing? Think of a personal website as a public business card — with links. It's a tidy, succinct landing page where you can direct curious employers or business contacts.

Using Primary Sources | Teachers Library of Congress Primary sources are the raw materials of history — original documents and objects which were created at the time under study. They are different from secondary sources, accounts or interpretations of events created by someone without firsthand experience. Examining primary sources gives students a powerful sense of history and the complexity of the past. Helping students analyze primary sources can also guide them toward higher-order thinking and better critical thinking and analysis skills. Before you begin: Choose at least two or three primary sources that support the learning objectives and are accessible to students. 1. Draw on students’ prior knowledge of the topic. Ask students to closely observe each primary source. Who created this primary source? Help students see key details. What do you see that you didn’t expect? Encourage students to think about their personal response to the source. What feelings and thoughts does the primary source trigger in you? 2. 3. Top

Information Visualization: Word Clouds, Phrase Nets, Tree Maps | Virtual Tool Cupboard | e-lab Digital Creation: Information Visualization: Word Clouds, Phrase Nets, Tree Maps A visualization is a way of quickly and clearly expressing complex information. Information visualizations are constantly being used and created – a hurried sketch, a scribbled map, the pictorial instructions provided to help assemble furniture – are all examples of everyday practices of information visualization. We are used to seeing and interpreting bar charts and pie charts in presentations, reports, and even on sign boards. Most of us have used a pen and napkin to draw out ideas for someone else to understand; digital tools can extend this common presentational practice to various forms of data. There are numerous tools designed to help you make charts and graphs, some of which can be found within your word processing software. Visualization of data does not necessarily have to involve numbers. Beginning Your Work Secondary Uses Web Tool VisualizationsWord Clouds Visualization Tools Hub Current Projects

Why Ages 2-7 Matter So Much for Brain Development When Albert Einstein was a child, few people—if any—anticipated the remarkable contributions he would make to science. His language development was delayed, worrying his parents to the point of consulting a doctor. His sister once confessed that Einstein “had such difficulty with language that those around him feared he would never learn.” How did this child go from potential developmental delays to becoming, well, Einstein? Part of the answer to that question is symbolized in two gifts that Einstein received from each of his parents when he was 5 years old. Children’s brains develop in spurts called critical periods. This first critical period of brain development begins around age 2 and concludes around age 7. Encourage a Love of Learning Young children need to enjoy the process of learning instead of focusing on performance. This period is also the time to establish a growth mindset—the belief that talents and abilities are developed through effort instead of being innately fixed.
