Lindbergh Live. Do you ever feel like this? I did not enjoy the circus as a child. The sights, sounds and smells were too chaotic for me. I felt sorry for the animals, the clowns scared me and I thought the motorcycle in the Cage of Death was careless and foolish. I was, however, amazed by the plate spinners. Being an educator can be like spinning those plates. And really, what is the worse thing that happens if a plate crashes to the ground? (The Moila Shrine really is sponsoring the Circus next weekend.

The thought of your iPhone or iPod touch falling into the wrong hands is enough to scare anyone. The iPhone does have the passcode function to keep prying eyes out, but what if that’s not enough? In a corporate environment, the loss of a device like this is a major ordeal. Apple has touted the MobileMe remote wiping capabilities, but what if you don’t use MobileMe? If you are in a corporate environment, you probably connect to an exchange server for mail.

Using OWA (Outlook Web Access) you can remotely wipe your lost or stolen iPhone/iPod touch and breath easy knowing your data is safe. As I stated, this relies on using the Exchange email push functionality in the iPhone OS. I have only tested this with Exchange 2007 so I can’t verify how or if this works in older versions of Exchange. After you successfully login, click on the Options button in the top right.

But have you ever wondered: What's the big deal about blogs? To make sense of blogs, you have to think about the news and who makes it. We'll look at news in the 20th vs. the 21st century to make our point. In the 20th century, the news was produced professionally. When news happened, reporters wrote the stories and a tiny group of people decided what appeared in a newspaper or broadcast. Professional news was mainstream: general and limited.

One of the tougher tasks I’ve had to accomplish as I’ve taken the leadership road is that of providing professional development for adult learners. I never thought about it as a teacher, but I can now say I truly appreciate the work of folks who provide quality professional development for groups of educators.
