SaTP_#36_Nextvista.org_and_Rushton_Hurley.mp3 Listen on Posterous News of the Week: 1) Introducing TEDbooksWe're thrilled to announce the launch of TEDBooks, an imprint of short nonfiction works designed for digital distribution. Shorter than traditional books, TEDBooks run less than 20,000 words each -- long enough to explain a powerful idea, but short enough to be read in a single sitting. … Does this mean the dumbing down of reading? Actually, we suspect people reading TEDBooks will be trading up rather than down. They'll be reading a short, compelling book instead of browsing a magazine or doing crossword puzzles. Our goal is to make ideas accessible in a way that matches modern attention spans. … TEDBooks are available from Amazon.com as Kindle Singles. They can be purchased for $2.99 each, and can be read on any device equipped with the Kindle app: iPad, Mac, PC, Android, iPhone, Blackberry and Windows 7 smartphones.Gunn High School in Palo Altohttp://gunnlibrary.tumblr.com/2) New A.P.

Mr. Gates said that the iPad is good for reading, but not necessarily creating.Others are thinking about it.

We recognize that there is tremendous value in technology and learning, and are by no means advocating abstinence. But we need to be cautious about plugging our kids in more, pushing them into an even greater dependence on electronics. We need balance that stems from understanding that more isn't necessarily better.7) Tree octopus exposes internet illiteracy mySA Most students “simply have very little in the way of critical evaluation skills,” Leu said. “They may tell you they don’t believe everything they read on the Internet, but they do.”Main Topic: Rushton Hurley from NextVista.org Permalink | Leave a comment  »
