VaryCode: Google Translate for Source Code
We just came across a very interesting new web application, VaryCode. VaryCode is an all-in-one programming code converter. VaryCode’s Makerting Manager told us that the application is “a kind of Google Translate between seven major programming languages: C#, Visual Basic .Net, Java, C++, Ruby, Python and Boo.” As source code conversion is often one of the last things that any programmer wants to do, it is a pain in the ass, a tool like VaryCode is a great resource. However, the founders point out that while the app eliminates many of the mundane aspects, the conversion is not 100% automated, and still requires human input: The Service is not supposed to be an ultimate one-click solution one can easily migrate between platforms with.

4th Grade Sketchnotes, Visual Mapping, And Primary Sources
Using sketchnotes with our students this year exceeded our expectations. Whether it was with second graders studying communities, or third graders sketchnoting about the rainforest, the results were the same. With our fourth grade, we used sketchnotes to categorize the types of primary sources. The students displayed the same excitement in collecting notes in a different way that included images as visual clues. We started with an introduction to the three basics of sketchnoting, which are to create an organizational structure for the content, to use a font hierarchy to elevate the importance of text, and to draw simple sketches to connect to the notes.
Google just revealed the incredibly simple formula for killer résumés
Germany, which has a better track record than most European countries on sheltering refugees, has made a move to address one of the more lunatic aspects of the European immigration crisis.

So you say you're ready to start sketchnoting. Maybe you're not much of a sketcher but you take a lot of notes, and are interested in making them more meaningful and interesting, but you're afraid your drawings are too crude. For you, it's important to stress that sketchnotes—although they are inherently a visual medium—do not require drawing ability of any kind.
