Recursos Puebla se consolida como uno de los principales destinos turísticos de México... Cuando se tienen políticas claras y objetivos serios como los del gobernador Rafael Moreno Valle y del gobierno federal, es posible consolidar a Puebla como uno de los principales destinos turísticos culturales de México, destacó la secretaria de Turismo, Claudia Ruiz Massieu, al inaugurar con el mandatario estatal y el alcalde Tony Gali, los trabajos de conservación de la Catedral de Puebla, reconocida como Patrimonio Cultural de la Humanidad y orgullo de los mexicanos. Por su parte, el mandatario estatal ratificó que continuará trabajando para fortalecer este sector y así atraer más turistas, inversiones y desarrollo para la entidad. La secretaria federal y el mandatario poblano coincidieron que para detonar y fortalecer el turismo es necesario diversificar su oferta, por lo que la visión de ampliar destinos resulta atractiva y benéfica para el país.
Jonny Wathen: The Great Wall! #artistic... Free Pictures - FreeFoto.com Twitter Literacy (I refuse to make up a Twittery name for it) | City Brights: Howard Rheingold Post-Oprah and apres-Ashton, Twittermania is definitely sliding down the backlash slope of the hype cycle. It’s not just the predictable wave of naysaying after the predictable waves of sliced-breadism and bandwagon-chasing. We’re beginning to see some data. Nielsen, the same people who do TV ratings, recently noted that more than 60% of new Twitter users fail to return the following month. To me, this represents a perfect example of a media literacy issue: Twitter is one of a growing breed of part-technological, part-social communication media that require some skills to use productively. When I started requiring digital journalism students to learn how to use Twitter, I didn’t have the list of journalistic uses for Twitter that I have compiled by now. One of my students asked me online why I use Twitter. Openness – anyone can join, and anyone can follow anyone else (unless they restrict access to friends who request access). Immediacy – it is a rolling present.

Driving Innovation in K-12 « February 9, 2012 by cultureofyes I have to give this post my usual preface that these slides are part of the presentation I am giving on innovation in K-12, but only one part of the story. Today, I am part of an event hosted by Simon Fraser University, Targeting Technology for Maximum Student Benefit. Beyond this and going forward, there are a few key points I would like to emphasize as we look at my assumptions and thinking on what we should and shouldn’t be doing: Some assumptions for the next 5 years: Teachers and schools are status quo (sense of community/social-emotional learning)Learning, not technology, is the driverGood writing (and what we often call “the core” curriculum) still mattersComplex problems often have a simple solutionExternal inventions (like the iPad) will continue to impact what we do, and we have no control over this! What We Would Do: What We Wouldn’t Do: Distributive Learning, – we want all classes to be blended classes.
Are We Wired For Mobile Learning? Because of the proliferation of new technologies, the younger generation today is outgrowing traditional forms of education – remember pencils, chalkboards, textbooks and graphing calculators? Whether we are in the car, on the train, at work, or in a classroom, mobile technology in particular is giving us the ability to learn on-the-go. See the infographic below to learn why we are wired for mobile learning, and how we can use mobile technologies to educate ourselves.

FREE -- Teaching Resources and Lesson Plans from the Federal Government 30+ Cool Content Curation Tools for Personal & Professional Use As the web becomes more and more inundated with blogs, videos, tweets, status updates, news, articles, and countless other forms of content, “information overload” is something we all seem to suffer. It is becoming more difficult to weed through all the “stuff” out there and pluck out the best, most share-worthy tidbits of information, especially if your topic is niche. Let’s face it, Google definitely has its shortcomings when it comes to content curation and the more it tries to cater to all audiences, the less useful it becomes. The demand for timely, relevant content that is specific to our unique interests and perspectives has given rise to a new generation of tools that aim to help individuals and companies curate content from the web and deliver it in a meaningful way. These new tools range from simple, application-specific types such as social media aggregators and discovery engines, to more complex, full-blown publishing solutions for organizations. Comments(65)
Top 13 web 2.0 tools for teachers Every day in my K-8 tech classes, I use a variety of cloud-based tools to enhance the learning experience for my students. There are more of these 'Web 2.0' tools than I can keep up with, but when you teach tech or coordinate technology for your school, 'keeping up' is part of your job. Here's how I determine which of these hundreds (thousands?) of tools are student-ready: Before I introduce a tool to my class, I try it myself. If a tool passes these two tests, I try it in class. Here's my list of 2011 favorites that have run that gauntlet: BigHugeLabs - create trading cards, posters, puzzles, mosaics using the student's own images. Here are a few more great ones that I didn't consider in my Top 13 because most educators already know about them: Edmodo - a micro-blogging service (like Twitter) for teachers and students. Should be on the list, but I've had too many problems either in their set-up or stability of their platform:
