TechTechBoom.com is a new BETA (code word for not fully finished) website and is a subsidiary of Mario Armstrong Media, LLC. (http://www.MarioArmstrong.com) What’s the mission? Simple, it’s a place to help teens to connect, be inspired, supported and motivated to pursue STEM (Science Technology Engineering and Math) academics and careers! We need more young minds wanting to fill our tech pipeline of the future.
-
The vision for this site was Mario Armstrong’s and he wanted it to be a cool and very informative tech hangout for teens but instead of hiring adults to design it (boring and done already) he wanted to flip the model. So his company hired 11 high school students from different grades, backgrounds and tech interests and they created what you see today, that being the first STEM website and community built by teens for teens! The site offers a cool hangout place, solid STEM information and resources all centered around STEM.
-
We want to be the hub of all science, technology, engineering and math content, news, events, scholarships, programs, contests, internships, mentoring and more. If it’s STEM and it involves teens – it will be on this site – no more islands of STEM info.

Stolen Picture
May 28th, 2009
So, this is the price we pay for indulging in social media, I guess.
I am thrilled to have reconnected with so many friends on Facebook. One of them sent me this message yesterday:
Alright, so how’s this for random: I’m in the car, taking my wife for a check up, pass by a new grocery store and notice that they have a picture of you, your husband and two kids on the store front window. Life size. I kid you not. Will take a photo of it later today and send….
What you don’t know from this message: this college friend lives in the CZECH REPUBLIC.
-
Just to let you and other readers know…you can do image searches on google using keywords like ‘family’ and such, and images all across the web on blogs, facebook and other places will pop up. I used to work in marketing and stock photos, or professional photos that are purposely staged for advertising use are expensive, so it’s not uncommon for people/agencies with less that reputable practices to pilfer images off the web. To prevent having your pics stolen, you can of course use flash to post stuff, but for the less-tech inclined user, make sure to only post low res images. They are absolutely fine for viewing on blogs, facebook, etc., but useless for marketing material. Also, when posting albums to facebook, make sure you select the ‘viewable by friends only’ otherwise, like I said before, they can show up on google searches and be accessed by anyone.
Weblogg-ed » Continual, Collaborative, on the Job Learning

The challenge is, of course, that “continual, collaborative, on the job” learning isn’t very convenient for professional developers or for teachers in classrooms. It means re-thinking what learning looks like, and that’s a scary place still for most in education.

Waste Management and Discovery Education have partnered to engage students in learning about the environment. Teachers will find standards-based lesson plans, tools and hands-on activities to enliven classroom learning and at-home extensions. Students will find video clips and step-by-step interactive activities to expand their knowledge of the planet we share.
What happens to the waste we all produce? When does it make sense to recycle? Can trash become energy? These are just a few of the timely topics to explore here.

ImageCodr
If you are going to use Flickr.com then you MUST use ImageCodr.org!!!
Easy as 1, 2, 3. You enter the full url of the Flickr image, in return you'll get html code and a brief license summary.
If the image is not licensed using Creative Commons you will see a, "Oops, the gremlins are here again!" and "This image is not license under a Creative Commons license and can not be used. You might ask the author to relicense the image." Now how clear can that be???!!!
