Wow. "Chik-fil-A claims the words — a statement in support oflocal agriculture and sustainable food — are too similar to its trademarked "Eat Mor Chikin" adslogan, and could cause confusion for its customers and "dilute" its English-challenged brand." Seriously?????!!!! http://www.grist.org/food/2011-11-29-chicken-chases-its-kale
Yesterday a memorial “flash-mob” sought to commemorate the victims and call attention to the problem of right wing violence in Germany today.
A neo-Nazi group in Germany murdered ten people – 8 of them Turkish German, one Greek German, and a policewoman – from 2000-2007. Why it's a problem to call them the "Doner murders", and how they went unnoticed for so long…
"At Google X, A Top-Secret Lab Dreaming Up the Future" Not so top secret any more, I suppose! http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/14/technology/at-google-x-a-top-secret-lab-dreaming-up-the-future.html?_r=1&ref=todayspaper&pagewanted=all
There’s a lot of buzz out there about the possibilities of Google+ as an educator’s resource. You can start at this collection of resources for educators collected by Steven W. Anderson; just click on the tabs on top to see the next page or slide. Liz Dwyer thinks it will be an educational game changer, and Desire2Learn will soon be rolling out Google+ Profile integration.
It’s true, so far Google+ doesn’t do anything that you can’t do with other social media out there, but so far it seems you can do a lot of the most important things more easily. You can blog/post status updates/photos in one stream, easily control visibility of each post, and easily go back and edit posts and visibility if you make a mistake. These things alone seem to make it a more useful tool for teaching than other social media!
