It’s not voodoo – its a simple combination of equivalent English characters (where a p is an upside down d and vice versa), and Latin Unicode characters. Keep in mind, the upside down text will probably not work in many chat programs, since the chat programs don’t recognize the Unicode characters, but it can be fun for blogs and social network updates. For the curious geeks, if you’re wondering how they do it, it’s a simple string replacement javascript. 01.var flipTable = { 02.a : '\u0250', 03.b : 'q', 04.c : '\u0254', 05.d : 'p', 06.e : '\u01DD', 07.f : '\u025F', 08.g : '\u0183', 09.h : '\u0265', 10.i : '\u0131', 11.j : '\u027E',

55+ Extremely Useful Online Generators for Designers In 2008 when I launched my personal blog to share my experiences, I decided to call it Balkhis instead of using my full name (Syed Balkhi). As time passed on, I regretted that decision because it created a lot of confusion. People thought that my last name was Balkhis instead of Balkhi. I basically combined my last name with the first letter of my first name.I was @syedbalkhi across all social media platforms, so the brand wasn’t consistent.People didn’t know about my personal blog as much because they didn’t relate Balkhis with me. Well as I focus more on my personal brand in 2015, I made the crucial move of switching domain names. As you noticed with this change, I got a new site design. I didn’t want to spend too much time creating a custom theme, so I used my friend Michael Hyatt’s theme which you too can buy if you like: GetNoticed. I did customize it to give it a bit of personal touch. The main reason why I chose this theme is because of all the amazing functionality it comes with.
10 reasons why librarians should use Exalead. Back in September 2006 my colleague, the Librarian in Black wrote an excellent article entitled Ten Reasons Librarians Should Use Ask.com Instead of Google Given the recent news about Ask, I thought I'd revisit this idea only this time I'm going to focus on Exalead. My apologies in advance to Sarah for basing some of the following on her original work. 1. Exalead has excellent functionality when it comes to focusing down on a search. The 'narrow your search' option lets users limit/exclude terms, blogs, forum, multimedia, languages (and it gives you an indication which languages are important with respect to a search term). 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. It's a search engine for people who like to use search engines, and it's an engine for librarians.

No Free Lunch for Ning Users; Still Plenty of Bargains Elsewhere The social networking platform Ning announced today that it was making some substantial changes to the company. The news, coming just one month after Jason Rosenthal replaced Gina Bianchini as CEO, was sour for both employees and for many users of the service. Ning will cut 70 jobs and will end free subscriptions to the site. Rosenthal writes in the press release, "We will phase out our free service. Existing free networks will have the opportunity to either convert to paying for premium services, or transition off of Ning." According to the release, paying subscribers account for 75% of the service's traffic. But the service has long been used by many small groups and organization, many of which are in a tail-spin over today's announcement.

7 Things You Should Know About Google Wave Google Wave is a web-based application that represents a rethinking of electronic communication. Users create online spaces called “waves,” which include multiple discrete messages and components that constitute a running, conversational document. Users access waves through the web, resulting in a model of communication in which rather than sending separate copies of multiple messages to different people, the content resides in a single space. The "7 Things You Should Know About..." series from the EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative (ELI) provides concise information on emerging learning technologies. In addition to the "7 Things You Should Know About…" briefs, you may find other ELI resources useful in addressing teaching, learning, and technology issues at your institution.

Opetussuunnitelma ja tuntijako - Perusopetus Perusopetuksen järjestämistä ohjataan opetusta koskevan lainsäädännön, opetussuunnitelman valtakunnallisten perusteiden sekä paikallisen opetussuunnitelman avulla. Valtakunnallisia säädöksiä ovat perusopetuslaki (628/1998 ja perusopetusasetus (852/1998) sekä valtioneuvoston asetus perusopetuksen valtakunnallisista tavoitteista ja tuntijaosta (1435/2001, uusi asetus 422/2012). Ne sisältävät säännöksiä muun muassa opetuksen yleisistä tavoitteista, oppiaineista, opetuskielestä, opintosuoritusten arvioinnista, koulun työajoista ja muista opetuksen järjestämiseen liittyvistä periaatteista sekä oppilaan oikeuksista ja velvollisuuksista. Koulun toiminnan kannalta keskeinen opetusta ohjaava normi ovat Opetushallituksen päättämät perusopetuksen opetussuunnitelman perusteet. Paikallinen opetussuunnitelma laaditaan opetussuunnitelman perusteiden pohjalta. Paikallinen opetussuunnitelma on julkinen asiakirja, ja useimmilla kunnilla ja kouluilla on omat verkkosivut, joilta se on luettavissa.
