Yes I Can: Japan’s English Teacher | Profesorbaker's Blog. President Obama (official portrait) When Utako Sakai was changing the background music in her beauty parlor recently, she did not opt for the classical piano pieces she usually chose. Instead, she picked her favorite CD: “President Obama’s Inaugural Address,” released by Asahi Press, a Japanese publisher of language books. She says the speech lifts her spirits and helps her to learn English all at once. “All our customers love it,” said Ms. The speech CD and its accompanying book have been a resounding success, selling 200,000 copies since its release in January.

Classrooms of the future. Dubai: A majority of educators in the Middle East and Africa believe that technology will play a large role in improving how students learn in the future. These findings come as a result of a Global Education Survey conducted on behalf of Cisco. Almost 90 per cent of educators believe that technology will take on an enhanced role in future classrooms. The survey was conducted through 500 telephone interviews in 14 countries, including the UAE, across five continents. Across the world, senior education officials in emerging markets see preparation for a global economy, student attendance, and employability as the top teaching issues they face today.
The classrooms of the future are likely to see an increased emphasis on video and media-rich technologies such as holographic projections to create collaboration in support of a borderless networking concept, said Frank Florence, global public sector senior director of education at Cisco. Pope John Paul II Gets Facebook Page. VATICAN CITY — The Vatican will unveil the latest installment in its social media transformation next week – a Facebook page dedicated to the upcoming beatification of Pope John Paul II, officials said. The site, which will link to video highlights of John Paul's 27-year papacy, is designed to promote the May 1 beatification. But it may well continue beyond given the global and enduring interest in the late pontiff, Vatican officials told The Associated Press.
The Vatican's first attempt at an event-themed Facebook page – to promote Pope Benedict XVI's September trip to the United Kingdom – is still active six months later and updated near-daily with 10,000-15,000 regular fans checking in, said Monsignor Paul Tighe, the No. 2 in the Vatican's social communications office. "What we found is that Facebook doesn't just share information, it creates community," Tighe said in an interview Friday. "A lot of our communications in the past was: I have a message.

It’s an expectation that every class at my school will have a blog by the end of this year. We thought it best to invite people to start when they are ready, offering individual support as required. We’re only three weeks into our school year and it’s exciting to note how many teachers already have blogs up and running, even if some are still at the stage of learning how to post.
It was also great, during planning sessions last week, to hear several previously tech-resistant teachers suggesting ways to incorporate new tools to support learning. While we still have a long way to go before technology is seamlessly integrated into the learning throughout our primary school, it’s encouraging to realise how far we have come. Here are some tips, based on our experience: 1. Ideally you need a technology facilitator and another teacher whose focus is more on learning and pedagogy. 2.
Don’t try and force anyone to implement technology before they are ready. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Like this: New MacBook Pros May Be Coming This Month.

Technology Tip Number 72 A Little More About Toolbars?

Today's technology tip is all about the two toolbars you're most likely to use. Click on the picture above to enlarge it As you can see there are quite a few icons to get familiar with. Also, depending on which version of Microsoft Word you have the icons might look a little different but they generally don't change much. Another benefit to getting familiar with these two tool bars is that these buttons are the ones most likely to appear in other Microsoft programs.
However, you'll find that the 2007 version of Microsoft Word has a drastically different look to it. PRACTICE ACTIVITY: Sometime today, try using three buttons from the Standard and Format toolbars that you've never used before.

The Royal Treatment. As a young teacher, I was forced to use basal readers with my 4th graders, and have at least three reading groups—unbelievably referred to in faculty meetings as the three reading levels—Bluebirds, Robins, and Crows. None really fit any of my students, and I got tired of hearing how father and mother gathered the whole family, including the dog for a picnic in the country. Believe me that was a big stretch for basal families, who were usually confined to the area behind a white picket fence. What I did I managed to get my hands on a box of assorted paperbacks, with multiple copies, which were in a storeroom.
I think they were labeled Library, but the dust labeled them mine. Change I collected all the basal readers and shelved them. The Authors My students loved Beverly Cleary, Judy Blume, and went absolutely bonkers for Robert Newton Peck, author of A Day No Pigs Would Die, Soup, and Soup and Me.

IT Security Trends | News 2011 Security Trends: Bad Times with Refined Phishing and Mobile Apps By Dian Schaffhauser12/01/10 Cyber security will be no easier in the new year than it is now, as malware proprietors get more sophisticated in their phishing attempts, malware-as-a-service becomes the norm, and smart phones and tablets draw increased attention from cyber criminals. That's the prediction of security software vendor M86 Security, which has released a report summarizing its threat predictions for 2011.
Security experts at the company said they expect spam campaigns to increasingly mimic legitimate mail from popular Web sites. The growth of the Smartphone and tablet markets is making those devices increasingly attractive to cyber bad guys, reported M86. Although mobile malware has focused on smart phones, the report's authors expect to see more illegal activity targeted to tablets in the coming year.
