"Why Defining Authorship is Important
Including authorship information on your web articles helps search engines provide better search results to their users, but it also helps you get more of your content in front of people. Because as the verified author of a document, your article will have more credibility than an article without a verified author. "

21st Century Fluency Project:
"This resource is the collaborative effort of a group of experienced educators and entrepreneurs who have united to share their experience and ideas, and create a project geared toward making learning relevant to life in our new digital age. Our purpose is to develop exceptional resources to assist in transforming learning to be relevant to life in the 21st Century. At the core of this project are our Curriculum Integration Kits - engaging, challenge based learning modules designed to cultivate the essential 21st Century Fluencies within the context of the required curriculum.
In today's world, it's easy to see just how vital the internalization of these fluencies really is. They are the essential methodology by which the students of today will transform into the architects and leaders of tomorrow. Working together, we will make the future great.
In addition to the various resources we have crafted, we have strived to make our site just as engaging and informative. We hope you enjoy your time with us as you move forward in to C.H.A.N.G.E. in your classroom."

Financial Times reta a Apple con una aplicación en HTML5 que obvia iTunes
Financial Times reta a Apple con una aplicación en HTML5 que obvia iTunes:
"Financial Times ha anunciado hoy el lanzamiento de una aplicación construida con tecnología HTML5 a la que se podrá acceder directamente a través de un navegador web, además de estar adaptada para dispositivos móviles.
Se trata de un movimiento interesante por varios motivos: en primer lugar, es un órdago velado a Apple, puesto que la app del Financial Times no estará disponible iTunes (cabe recordar que el próximo 30 de junio Apple empezará a aplicar un servicio de suscripción conforme el cual se quedará con un 30% del valor de algunas de las aplicaciones de revistas y diarios que se descarguen a través de su tienda online); por otra parte, está construida con el lenguaje de programación llamado a imponerse en la web a corto o medio plazo, lo que además dota a la aplicación de una mayor velocidad de descarga; adicionalmente, será gratuita durante la semana de lanzamiento.
La aplicación presenta los contenidos de FT en modo de recortes de prensa. El usuario podrá registrarse gratuitamente y acceder a diez artículos al mes a través de cualquier dispositivo; para disponer de acceso a más de diez piezas será necesario suscribirse.
En principio, la app está adaptada para el iPad y el iPhone; próximamente, también estará disponible para dispositivos basados en sistemas Android -tales como la gama de Samsung Galaxy y Xoom Motorola- y para la BlackBerry PlayBook."

Interactive White Boards - Technology Integration for Teachers:
"Using Interactive White Boards to Engage Students
Regardless of what brand your school is using, interactive white boards are a really valuable tool to get students up out of their seats and engaged in the learning. Users move objects, words, and text - providing a rich learning experience. The software that is provided with the board allows teachers to create multimedia presentations with templates and visual elements build right in as well as the ability to integrate media from other web resources. In addition, the media and the presentation can be saved and shared with students who need extra reinforcement at home or other teachers who's students are learning the same concepts. If you are new to teaching with IWB or you are an expert, check out this community of educators to find more resources and ideas. You also must check out Jim Hollis's blogand website!"

Converting Ebooks with Calibre - ProfHacker - The Chronicle of Higher Education
Converting Ebooks with Calibre - ProfHacker - The Chronicle of Higher Education:
"Even if we’re not “Kindling the Classroom,” there are a lot of us out there using ebook readers for our own reading. Here’s the catch: a lot of the materials we want to read don’t come from whatever bookstores might work with our readers. We might want to load journal articles, books from Project Gutenberg, or even our own work onto our readers. We might even want to read a file format that the reader we own doesn’t support. Depending on the reader we own and the format of the item in question, we may be able to just sideload the content—but that might not work for everything.
Enter Calibre."

Google Cloud Print, imprime desde cualquier lugar:
"Google Cloud Print ya está disponible para todos, y nos permite imprimir documentos desde cualquier sitio. Para esto tendremos que poseer una impresora específicamente preparada para ello, o bien una impresora normal conectada a un ordenador con Windows y con Chrome.
Aunque de momento sólo funciona desde Chrome y Windows, seguramente tendremos dentro de poco una aplicación para Android para poder imprimir desde dispositivos móviles. En cuanto a la seguridad, dependemos de nuestra cuenta de Google: las impresoras están vinculadas a nuestra cuenta y nadie más puede acceder a no ser que las compartamos."

Hackers Defend WikiLeaks by Attacking PayPal and PostFinance:
"A group of hackers connected to the online imageboard 4chan, often referred to as Anonymous, have retaliated against several sites which have denied service to WikiLeaks shortly after the site started leaking secret embassy cables.
The site of Swiss bank PostFinance, which has closed the account of WikiLeaks (Wikileaks) founder Julian Assange, has been taken down and is still unavailable at the time of this writing. Hackers have also attacked PayPal but have only managed to take down the site’s blog (blog), while the service remained operational."
