Teacher Resigns Via YouTube Over Standardized Testing
Standardized testing has long been a hot-button topic among educational circles. But a veteran teacher is now taking a very open position against the concept by resigning from her job — and telling everyone about it on YouTube. The video, which was posted on Tuesday under the account I Quit You Can't Fire Me, is quickly going viral. “The emphasis in education has shifted from fostering academic and personal growth in both students and teachers to demanding uniformity and conformity," she says. The now-former teacher says in the video that her school's administrators gave a letter of involuntary transfer for fostering a "poor for climate in [the] building." "I care more about the people my students become than the scores on the tests they take," she says. How do you feel about the increase in standardized testing in schools?

Pipe App Transfer to Facebook
After more than a year of teasing its service in beta and in invitation-only mode, a Facebook app called Pipe is finally launching this week to make file transferring easy and possible for the first time on the social network. It also has the potential to be a true game changer. Berlin-based Pipe Dream Technologies aims to change the way people share on Facebook, allowing members to drag and drop music, documents, video and pictures into a virtual green tube that looks like the one from Super Mario Brothers franchise. And here's the kicker: The files can be big — very big, up to 1 GB. "There are more than a billion users on Facebook and there is no easy solution to transfer a file from one person to another," Simon Hossell of Pipe told Mashable. "There are more than a billion users on Facebook and there is no easy solution to transfer a file from one person to another," Simon Hossell of Pipe told Mashable. The user then drags and drops the file into the virtual green tube on the screen.
5 School-Worthy iPad Alternatives
Amplify Tablet The recent decision to split News Corp saw the introduction of a new division tasked with providing digital learning materials to the education market. That division, named Amplify, has since sprung into life with the 10-inch Android tablet designed specifically for K-12 education. The tablet is manufactured by Asus, offers a quad-core Tegra 3 system-on-chip and the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean operating system, while battery life is quoted at an impressive 8.5 hours. While that in itself isn’t revolutionary, the Amplify tablet impresses with its array of education-friendly features. Eye-tracking technology helps the tablet push out an “eyes on teacher” message asking students to look-up from their devices and pay attention to the teacher, while teachers themselves can also use the Amplify tablet for planning lessons, sending out assignments and managing students’ tablets during lessons.

¿Necesitas imágenes para tus proyectos?
Detalles Publicado: 26 Septiembre 2014 Los docentes que mantienen blogs educativos o que fabrican sus propios contenidos digitales, a través de herramientas de autor como Constructor 2.0, Ardora, Lim..., son conscientes de lo importante que es cuidar el aspecto gráfico de sus publicaciones introduciendo iconos que contribuyan a reforzar la efectividad de sus mensajes. Pero a veces localizar esas imágenes puede resultarnos complicado, porque todos sabemos que muchas de las que encontramos en la Red están sujetas a derechos de autor. Una buena solución al problema es hacer búsquedas avanzadas en Google (Google Avanced Image Search) o CC Search Creative Commons, que nos exigirán respetar ciertas normas de publicación como citar la fuente o autor de la imagen, o bien dirigirnos a algunos de los numerosos bancos de imágenes que existen en Internet, los cuales muchas veces nos permitirán hacer un uso gratuito de las mismas.

How To: Use Wikipedia in the Classroom Responsibly
Despite the fact that it’s currently the year 2013, and that our collective EdTech excitement is growing every single day, there’s still one aspect of modern technology and the Internet that is too often ignored in our classrooms. You know what I’m talking about: the “W” word. Wikipedia. The problem is that Wikipedia in the classroom has gotten a bad reputation in the K-12 world, undeservedly so I think. I would suggest that Wikipedia can be used for a multitude of educational purposes at a wide variety of grade levels. 1. Even though it has a reputation among teachers for inaccuracy and lawlessness, Wikipedia does have a few guidelines that all editors should abide by. Free content: All content submitted to Wikipedia must be original, since it will become part of the commons. Assignments you give to your students should always follow these guidelines. 2. Once your students have the necessary guidelines down, everybody should pick a way in which they want to improve Wikipedia. 3. 4. 5.
