The Downside Of Cloud Computing In Education The Downside of Cloud Computing in Education Cloud computing, in recent years, has become the focus of intense educational debates and arguments. Basically, cloud computing is one of the top products of the latest internet technology. Molecules Molecules is an application for the iPhone, iPod touch, and now iPad that allows you to view three-dimensional renderings of molecules and manipulate them using your fingers. You can rotate the molecules by moving your finger across the display, zoom in or out by using two-finger pinch gestures, or pan the molecule by moving two fingers across the screen at once. The combination of the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad's unique multitouch input system and the built-in OpenGL ES 3-D graphics capabilities enable you to feel like you are manipulating the molecules themselves with your fingers. New molecules can be downloaded from the RCSB Protein Data Bank ( an international repository of biological molecules and their 3-D structures, or NCBI's PubChem, a public database of compounds.

4 Ways to Use Google Drive Edit Article Four Parts:SetupDocumentsFilesOther CapabilitiesQuestions and Answers When Google Drive first launched, it served as a place to store your files in the cloud so that they could be accessed anywhere.

Watershed School The Watershed School selects Google Apps Education Edition to manage its cutting-edge curriculum The institution Located in Boulder, Colorado, Watershed School was founded in 2004 as a cutting-edge, experiential middle and high school. Driven by a growing number of researchers who argue that students learn best when coursework is relevant and instruction is immersive, Watershed’s curriculum strives to draw connections among disciplines, integrating student work with real-world context. At the heart of the school’s curriculum are so-called “Learning Expeditions”, semester-long, in-depth investigations of broad topics that engage students through fieldwork and service.

NSTA: The role of e-learning in science education Introduction The National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) supports and encourages the use of e-Learning experiences for preK–16 science students, as well as for science educators engaging in professional development in the traditional, informal, or distance learning environment. NSTA defines e-Learning as the effective learning process created by combining digitally delivered content with learning support and services (Waller 2001). E-Learning can and should significantly enhance science teaching and learning. E-Learning is an increasingly prevalent, viable, and fully recognized method for teaching and learning science (Dede, Brown-L’Bahy, Ketelhut, and Whitehouse 2004). NSTA supports e-learning as a promising way to

Google Apps for Education UK User Group On February 15th the Google Apps for Education UK User Group will convene for the first time at Loughborough. @LboroResStaff will be there to keep an eye out for anything eyecatching from a research staff perspective, and may well tweet using #guug11 if anything interesting pops up. Research e-Resource Officer at Lboro, based in the Research Office with responsibilities in the Graduate School, and close collaboration with the e-Learning Team (Teaching Centre) and the Library. NSTA High School Attention high school science teachers! We need you! Do you have a favorite lesson plan or teaching strategy you'd like to share with teachers from across the country? If so, please participate in the High School Hodge-Podge Share-a-Thon, 8–9:30 a.m., April 1, at the NSTA national conference in Nashville. You’ll present your activity/lesson at a table set up at the Omni Nashville Hotel, Room "Broadway F." Ideally, your presentation will take 8–12 minutes and will be repeatable at your table over the course of 90 minutes.

Go Ahead and Uninstall PowerPoint, Google Docs Just Beat It Google Docs has always been great at collaboration and group projects, but the majority of such assignments involved a presentation of some sorts, and this has traditionally been the suite’s weakest product. You could always work together on a single presentation, but the real-time text updating that allows you to see your partners’ cursor location has never been fully ported over from text documents and spreadsheets until now. With the updates, you’ll also get the nice sidebar IM window to chat with your partners from anywhere (though I swear that was there before. Anybody remember for sure?).
