How To: Move Music from iPod to PC in 5 Easy Steps. I’m a big fan of the iPod but what I don’t like is Apple not being very forthcoming about how to move music from the iPod back to the PC. They’re quick enough to tell you how to move the music from your PC to your iPod but when you want to do the opposite, Apple clams up tight. Their reasoning is probably that the only reason you’d want to take your music off the iPod is to copy it and illegally distribute it. But that is really an insult to the music buyer. There are plenty of legitimate reasons why you would want to move your music from the iPod back to the PC. For a start, what if your hard-drive crashed and the only copies of the music were on your iPod?
It has taken me ages to work out how to get the music off the iPod and onto the computer but I have finally got it. The easy five-step guide to moving your music from your iPod to your PC 1. 2. Double-click on that. 3. 4. Check the box “Keep iTunes Music folder organized” and click OK. 5. There you have it. The 8 Minutes That Matter Most. I am an English teacher, so my ears perk up when writers talk about their process. I've found the advice handy for lesson planning, too. That's because both writing and planning deal with craft. In writing, you want your audience to be absorbed. You want them to care about your characters. You want them be delighted by the suspense. That's not easy to pull off, and it's just as hard in the classroom. John Irving, the author of The Cider House Rules, begins with his last sentence: I write the last line, and then I write the line before that.
That is the crux of lesson planning right there -- endings and beginnings. The eight minutes that matter most are the beginning and endings. Here are eight ways to make those eight minutes magical. Beginnings 1. YouTube reaches more 18- to 34-year-olds than any cable channel. 2. If you want to create a safe space for students to take risks, you won't get there with a pry bar. 3. 4. Endings 1.

A Debate Over Karl Ove Knausgaard’s ‘My Struggle’ Until the recent publication of “My Struggle,” a 3,600-page work in six volumes, the career of the Norwegian writer Karl Ove Knausgaard had followed a fairly conventional trajectory: A young man besotted by the beauty of words, nature, music and painting writes a coming-of-age novel that earns him prizes and praise and then tries something more ambitious, which becomes an international best seller and wins more prizes.
But with his latest project, “My Struggle,” whose title deliberately evokes Hitler’s infamous autobiography and political screed, everything has changed. Though “My Struggle,” a minutely detailed examination of Mr. Knausgaard’s family life, has done extremely well in Europe — in Norway, about half a million copies have been sold, the equivalent of one for every 10 people — it has also put Mr.
Knausgaard (pronounced Kuh-NOWS-guard) squarely at the center of a debate about literary ethics and made him a kind of bad boy of European letters. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Content Frame. When "there's" isn't "there is" When "there's" isn't "there is" In response to yesterday's post on Mayor Nagin's remark about how "there's way too many frickin' -- excuse me -- cooks", Arnold Zwicky pointed out by (slightly edited) email that "there is" + <plural noun phrase> is indeed nonstandard (and somewhat more common in the south and south midlands than elsewhere, I believe -- I'm away from my sources on this today) , but "there's" + <plural noun phrase> should really be characterized, in current English, as merely informal/colloquial, rather than nonstandard.
Millions of people (like me) who wouldn't use "there is two people at the door" are entirely happy with "there's two people at the door". So the two versions differ not only in emphasis and/or formality, but also (for many of us) in standardness. If Arnold is entirely happy with it, it must be standard, right? Google News this morning gave me 36 examples of the string "there's several". ...there's several downtown high rises that are windowless... Picture books in the ESL classroom - Fremmedspråksenteret - Høgskolen i Østfold. Introduction When Norwegian teachers of English in lower and upper secondary schools are asked what literature they use in their classrooms, my experience is that the vast majority point to short stories, novels, drama and some poetry. The literature they use is either culled from the literary canon or from the vast list of well received modern literature written for adults. Some who teach the lower grades will also include novels written for younger readers, often by contemporary authors.
Very rarely have I met teachers who might include children's literature in the form of picture books. This article will argue that picture books in fact represent a very good source of authentic literature for use in the ESL classroom, also at secondary level. I do not in any way imply that the current literary selection is faulty, but I do suggest that there is a lot to gain by casting the net wider and introducing the students to a more varied selection of literature. Knowledge Promotion Mr. Highly trained, respected and free: why Finland's teachers are different. In a quiet classroom adorned with the joyful creations of small children, Ville Sallinen is learning what makes Finland’s schools the envy of the world. Sallinen, 22, is teaching a handful of eight-year-olds how to read. He is nearing the end of a short placement in the school during his five-year master’s degree in primary school teaching.
Viikki teacher training school in eastern Helsinki describes itself as a laboratory for student teachers. Here, Sallinen can try out the theories he has learned at the university to which the school is affiliated. It’s the equivalent of university teaching hospitals for medical students. The school’s principal, Kimmo Koskinen, says: “This is one of the ways we show how much we respect teaching. It is as important as training doctors.”
Welcome to a country where teaching is a highly prized profession. Finland is going through a deep economic crisis, and there are financial pressures on schools, just as there are on the rest of the public sector.
