Slashdot Stories (10)

http://slashdot.org/ We've heard recently of CISPA, the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act , a bill currently making its way through Congress that many are calling the latest incarnation of SOPA. Reader SolKeshNaranek points out an article at Techdirt explaining exactly why this bill is bad , and how its backers are trying to deflect criticism by using language that's different and rather vague. Quoting: "The bill defines 'cybersecurity systems' and 'cyber threat information' as anything to do with protecting a network from: ' (A) efforts to degrade, disrupt, or destroy such system or network; or (B) theft or misappropriation of private or government information, intellectual property, or personally identifiable information. ' It's easy to see how that definition could be interpreted to include things that go way beyond network security — specifically, copyright policing systems at virtually any point along a network could easily qualify."

The Best Resources For Helping Teachers Use Bloom’s Taxonomy In The Classroom | Larry Ferlazzo’s Websites of the Day…

Bloom’s Taxonomy is talked about a lot in educational circles. However, if you believe a recent survey of visits to 23,000 U.S. classrooms , the higher-order thinking skills it’s ideally designed to promote doesn’t get much use. And I can understand why. It’s easy to get caught-up in the day-to-day work involved in teaching a class or multiple classes, and it’s easy to fall into the trap of doing the “usual stuff” and not “think out of the box.” I thought it might be useful to share in a “The Best…” list the resources that help me try to use Bloom’s Taxonomy in my classroom. http://larryferlazzo.edublogs.org/2009/05/25/the-best-resources-for-helping-teachers-use-blooms-taxonomy-in-the-classroom/

Spectacular Silhouette: Skywatcher Sees Plane Crossing Small Full Moon | Space.com

http://www.space.com/14071-spectacular-silhouette-skywatcher-sees-plane-crossing-small-full-moon.html An airplane appears unusually large against the smallest full moon of the year. This full moon's rather puny October appearance is 12.3 percent smaller than when it came into view in its most super-sized form back in March of this year. The moon seems to change size to us because it has an elliptical orbit. The moon in this photo appears small because it is at apogee, the point where an object is at the greatest distance from the center of the Earth.

Luke posted about this a few days ago and only because his reseller, who will probably get in a lot of trouble for preleasing information, so let's make this official. Autodesk is starting a couple of new promotions starting May 16th running through July 15th. Why July 15th? Because you have a tendancy to wait until the last minute and if it ended on July 31st, it would be chaotic to process all of the orders.
