Fareed Zakaria Suspended by CNN and Time Over Plagiarism. One of the brightest lights in the media world, and one of the most influential Indian Americans in the country, has admitted to plagiarism. Time magazine and CNN suspended writer and “GPS” TV host Fareed Zakaria Aug. 10 for one month after it came to light that he had copied information in an article from The New Yorker. A conservative media site called NewsBusters noticed that Zakaria’s column titled “The Case for Gun Control” in the Aug. 20 issue of Time too closely mimicked an April 23 New Yorker article about gun control by historian Jill Lepore.
Zakaria issued a statement later in the day Aug. 10 saying, “Media reporters have pointed out that paragraphs in my Time column this week bear close similarities to paragraphs in Jill Lepore’s essay in the April 23 issue of The New Yorker. They are right. I made a terrible mistake. It is a serious lapse and one that is entirely my fault. Daphne Koller: What we're learning from online education. Videos.

He is winner of several major teaching awards at MIT, as well as the IEEE’s Booth Education Award, cited for his contributions to the teaching of undergraduate computer science.Abelson has a longstanding interest in using computation as a conceptual framework in teaching.
He directed the first implementation of the Logo computer language for the Apple Computer, which made programming for children widely available on personal computers beginning in 1981. Together with Gerald Sussman, Abelson developed MIT’s introductory computer science subject, Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs, a subject organized around the notion that a computer language is primarily a formal medium for expressing ideas about methodology, rather than just a way to get a computer to perform operations.

Journalistic Learning  Surrounded by the corporate offices of Facebook and Google, and by Stanford University, Palo Alto, California, is among the nation’s wealthiest and intellectually elite communities. Its affluence might lead many to falsely assume that Palo Alto High exists in a utopian bubble that bears little resemblance to the rest of America; and that it is therefore an anomalous choice for study. However, the school is a microcosm of the cultural challenges and demographic complexities becoming apparent in many parts of the United States.
While situated in one of the nation’s most privileged communities, Palo Alto High School also serves an increasingly diverse student body –– a segment of which are bussed from the economically and crime challenged adjacent community of East Palo Alto. This research includes two years of qualitative field study at Palo Alto High and a broader quantitative survey of 664 high school students from five U.S. states.

The five shot method for shooting video. > Mindy McAdams In the standard way to teach video shooting, students are instructed to shoot "wide, medium, tight. " That means: For each subject of interest, get one shot that's far away enough to show everything (wide); get a second shot that is close enough to see what's going on (medium); get a third shot that's very close (tight). Beginners can follow these instructions, but the results are not always good.
Part of the trouble is that everyone judges these distances differently. The five-shot method is more useful for beginners. I have trained many journalists to use simple audio and video tools to tell stories. For an introduction to video editing, I use this finished video as an example. Always get five shots for a sequence The still images below show how the five-shot method is applied: 1) Hands (tight): For this first shooting exercise, your work will be easy if you choose a subject who is working with his or her hands and staying in one place.

Customize volume You can set volume levels for each clip in your project. Hover over a clip in your timeline and find the volume slider. Adjust the slider to lower the volume on the clip or music track. Add music You can add a new audio track to your video. Browse the tracks by searching or filtering by artist and genre. Songs, like clips, can't overlap - they can only come before or after each other. The audio from an added track will overlap replace your clips’ original audio by default.

I’m starting a new research and writing project today that examines the current state of open educational resources. My interest isn’t simply identifying where the repositories of OER lie or what they contain. Nor am I just looking at adoption or usage (although yes, the research will address all these things.) See, I’m particularly keen to investigate the formats that these openly licensed materials are in, and by an extension whether they’re being remixed. I have my suspicions about what I’ll find in regards to the latter. That is, we’re seeing a lot of PDFs (ugh) and not seeing much remixing. What are the barriers – to use, re-use, and remixing? Why do we opt to use OER? And finally in the spirit of openness, let me be clear: this research is funded by FunnyMonkey, an education-focused Drupal shop in Portland, Oregon.
If you’re interested in chatting with me about this project, feel free to drop me a line -- particularly if you use OER in your classroom! Image credits: Ivy Dawned.

Fair use offers an extraordinarily important opportunity for educators, researchers, and others to make reasonable and limited uses of copyrighted materials. Clipping, cutting, pasting, uploading, posting, and many other activities that are common at the university may be copyright infringements or may be within fair use.
When do you need to think about fair use? Some example situations: Uploading materials to CourseWorks or another server.Clipping and copying materials into innovative teaching tools.Posting materials for distance learning.Developing databases of copyrighted works for research.Sharing articles and other materials with colleagues.Developing digital libraries.Placing copies on library reserves. This section includes a variety of resources to help you determine if fair use applies to the ways in which you want to use copyrighted materials.

How Children Learn: Portraits of Classrooms Around the World. By Maria Popova A revealing lens on a system-phenomenon both global in reach and strikingly local in degree of diversity. Since 2004, Julian Germain has been capturing the inner lives of schools around the world, from England to Nigeria to Qatar, in his large-scale photographs of schoolchildren in class. Classroom Portraits (public library) is part Where Children Sleep, part Bureaucratics, part What I Eat: Around the World in 80 Diets, part something else entirely — a poignant lens on a system-phenomenon that is both global in reach and strikingly local in degree of peculiarity, revealed through more than 450 portraits of schoolchildren from 20 countries.
