[tips] Anyone using Socrative?

[FRANTZ, SUE]

Hi all,

 

I wrote a blog post last year on Socrative, a free piece of technology
that turns any web-enabled device into a clicker:
http://suefrantz.com/2011/07/10/socrative-turn-student-smartphones-into-
clickers/. 

 

If you're currently using it or have used it, can you drop me an email
off-list at sfra...@highline.edu?

 

Thanks!
Sue

Tell people the truth about pi. Pi is a lie. It's actually half-Tau 
day.

[tips] Dancing cockroach leg

[sblack]

Gross! 

Great! 

And brought to you by a guy who wears a T-shirt with an image of a 
cockroach on it.

It's about teaching neuroscience. Check out the video ("the cockroach 
beatbox") in full screen mode.  It's worth it if only for the looks 
of horror, disgust, and fascination on the faces of the kids watching 
the demo. And for the use of an iPad as an oscilloscope to track 
neural activity.

re: [tips] Pinterest - a "girl" thing?

[Michael Palij]

I don't know whether Pinterest is a "girl" thing or not but
it does appear that it may be a "legal" thing; see:
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702304450004577279632967289676.html

See, the issue is if one puts up a copyrighted photo/whatever
on Pinterest without explicit permission from the copyright
holder, one is breaking the law.  As the article above makes
clear, this is not obvious to most users of Pinterest and it may
come as a surprise to someone who is contacted by a lawyer
about unauthorized use of copyrighted materials.

Could make for an interesting discussion on how to use info
one finds on the internets..

Is it too obvious to suggest that the skewed ratio might be due to the fact
