Free Technology for Teachers: A Quick Guide to Annotating Using Diigo
-
or good reasons, Diigo has become one of the most popular social bookmarking services used by educators. Diigo offers good tools for highlighting, annotating, bookmarking, and sharing the gems that you find on the Internet. Yesterday, Jose Picardo (I highly recommend his blog) posted a quick guide to annotating using Diigo. He created the video for his students and if you're considering using Diigo with your students it could be very useful for you too. The video is embedded below.

How to Make a US County Thematic Map Using Free Tools
Posted by Nathan / Nov 12, 2009 to FlowingData Code, Mapping / 5 comments
There are about a million ways to make a choropleth map. You know, the maps that color regions by some metric. The problem is that a lot of solutions require expensive software or have a high learning curve...or both. What if you just want a simple map without all the GIS stuff? In this post, I'll show you how to make a county-specific choropleth map using only free tools.

TweenTribune for the classroom | tweentribune.com
"TweenTribune for the classroom – Free!
Engage, inform, and educate your students with TweenTribune. TweenTribune lets students interact with the news, while fulfilling requirements for language arts, computer skills, and other classes. Kids love it – and so do their teachers. Find out what they’re saying here.
Here’s how TweenTribune works. Each weekday, we scour the Web for age-appropriate news stories that will interest tweens (generally defined as kids aged 8 to 14), and invite them to comment. All comments are moderated before publishing, so it’s Web-safe. (Find out more about TweenTribune’s safety features, below.)
But it gets better."

About | News21 | Carnegie-Knight Initiative on the Future of Journalism Education
Revitalizing Journalism Education
A national initiative led by 12 of America's leading research universities with the support of two major foundations will advance the U.S. news business by helping revitalize schools of journalism.
The universities will take advantage of the riches of their institutions by integrating the schools of journalism more closely with the entire campus in an effort to better teach, challenge and prepare the next generation of news industry leaders for an increasingly complex world. The initiative will experiment with curriculum and hands-on experience with the hope of creating a national conversation with other schools across the country.
The Carnegie-Knight Initiative involves three distinct efforts:
1. Curriculum Enrichment that will integrate the schools of journalism more deeply into the life of the university.
2. News21 Incubators: annual national investigative reporting projects overseen by campus professors and distributed nationally through both traditional and innovative media.
3. The Carnegie-Knight Task Force, focusing on research and creating a platform for educators to speak on policy and journalism education issues.
