I may watch this later than 3 million people but still I have to say it’s an amazing video. How does education play a part in the reverse of script?

Cyber bullies prey on 15% of teachers

Posted in news by tucksoon on February 23, 2009

From http://news.scotsman.com/

ONE in seven teachers has suffered abuse from pupils on the internet or via mobile phone, new figures reveal.

Scottish teachers have reported children writing sexually obscene comments about them on social networking sites, superimposing their faces onto pornography and posting videos of them on websites.

The Educational Institute of Scotland (EIS), a teachers’ union, has accused the police of not taking such ‘cyber crimes’ seriously, and has called for offending children to be arrested.

What Classroom/Lab Management software?

Posted in school, tools by tucksoon on February 16, 2009

My school has been using Junglebyte for the past 3 years. Well, it’s a mixed bag. It can be pretty effective, but it can never achieve 100% control due to some reasons which my edtech and I are still figuring out.

Any recommendations?

Ken Robinson’s The Element: reincarnating creativity

Posted in books by tucksoon on February 8, 2009

From Ewan McIntosh’s edu.blogs.com

Ken Robinson’s “The Element” gets launched in the UK this week. It’s a superb tome, and one that every educator, employee or entrepreneur should read, if only to check that they themselves are in the right place personally and professionally. Do your natural talents and passions meet at the same time and place, or are you plugging away at the wrong thing completely? Ken’s book contains no simplistic lists of things one must do to survive the 21st century – it’s Johnny Bunko for the over-educated.

I just received this book! Really busy lately but will find time to read :)
