"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."
Teaching, learning, reading, writing, culture, classroom management, new technologies... anything related to education. Think and Dream in English (plus some Spanish and Catalan).

"1. Pack in Zones: Pack everything that goes in your desk in one box, everything that goes on the bookshelf in one box and everything that goes in your technology center in one box. Seems like a simple concept, but a lot of exhausted teachers just toss everything into boxes and end up with a huge organizational milestone when back-to-school hits.
2. Plan Ahead: Set aside all of the things you'll need first when school starts again—scissors, your stapler, your computer password—and put them into a box. Place that box in an easy-to-find spot so you'll see it first thing when you come back to school. "

Read the whole article here:"Plagiarism is nothing new. Students have been plagiarizing far before the Internet was widely available — whether it was copying from the encyclopedia or hiring professionals. But the Internet and the explosion of online resources has made it easier for students to get to those resources. You’ll find a number of websites geared specifically to cheating — sites where you can buy papers, for example. But even if students opt not to pay-to-cheat, the Internet does seem to make it easier to lift content. It’s as easy as copy-and-paste."
