Imágenes libres en Google Docs Cada vez nos ponen más fácil disponer de recursos distribuidos bajo licencias libres, cada vez está más de nuestra mano ser respetuosos con las obras de otras personas, cada día el mundo del Creative Commons y del Copyleft nos abre más caminos en los que adoquinar nuestras obras o producciones de forma legal poniéndolas a disposición de todos. Hoy me he topado con una nueva funcionalidad de Google Docs, mediante la cual podemos incluir imágenes libres en nuestros documentos, hasta con la posibilidad de comerciar con ellas.

whole brain teaching Are you familiar with Whole Brain Teaching? I discovered it online last fall while I was exploring information on how the brain learns. This is the first video I saw on the topic: You may notice in the video that the instructor (Coach B from WBT) keeps the students totally engaged, and uses many of the important brain based learning strategies: talking, using emotions, visuals, movement, teaching chunks of information, giving immediate feedback. The above video shows students much older than the ones I work with. As we're finishing up the school year, I had asked the children to list their favorite memories from second grade. The ScoreboardThe Improvement WallSuper Speed MathSuper Speed 1,000 (Sight words) You guessed it, these are all straight from Whole Brain Learning!

Whether you choose a text message, email, social media message, Skype session, or a Google+ Hangouts depends on who you need to communicate with and why—purpose and audience. 2. Email won’t always work. 3. Hit the Print Screen button near your number pad on a keyboard on Windows. 4. Know what it means to be Rick Roll’d, the difference between a fail and an epic fail, why Steve is a scumbag, and who sad Keannu is. 5. Not everyone loves technology. An RT as an olive branch. 6. 7.
