How does Edmodo support PBL? COACHES' CORNER | Dayna Laur A project based learning environment can certainly be created without the use of technology. The addition of technology in the classroom, however, undoubtedly enhances the project based learning experience. Edmodo has many benefits for classroom use. As a free online tool, one would expect Edmodo to contain unwanted advertisements on the site. The Project and Edmodo as Support My junior/senior level law class just recently completed our Introduction to Criminal Law unit. The significant content covered in this project integrated a myriad of things. The public audience element of this project was not completed via Edmodo. If you would like to hear more about my project, see screen shots of the project in action, and listen to how I utilized Edmodo to manage the project, please visit our YouTube channel for the archived webinar.

Supreme Court Says Police Can Take DNA Samples WASHINGTON — The police may take DNA samples from people arrested in connection with serious crimes, the Supreme Court ruled on Monday in a 5-to-4 decision. The federal government and 28 states authorize the practice, and law enforcement officials say it is a valuable tool for investigating unsolved crimes. But the court said the testing was justified by a different reason: to identify the suspect in custody. “When officers make an arrest supported by probable cause to hold for a serious offense and they bring the suspect to the station to be detained in custody,” Justice Anthony M. Kennedy wrote for the majority, “taking and analyzing a cheek swab of the arrestee’s DNA is, like fingerprinting and photographing, a legitimate police booking procedure that is reasonable under the Fourth Amendment.” Justice Antonin Scalia summarized his dissent from the bench, a rare move signaling deep disagreement. The case featured an alignment of justices that scrambled the usual ideological alliances.

For Brin, a billionaire who wears Google Glass in the promo video for the Cultured Beef project, maybe that’s true: he’s already living in a future where man can augment himself and surpass any obstacle.
