Everyone is welcome to check this out (it's the homework for my social tech in ed / paperless classroom students... we just finished our first class).
1. Complete Weebly homepage; you should have pages for 'news', 'twitter feed', and 'social media links' -- please comment below with the url of your published page.
2. Get on Twitter, add me, follow folks who were part of our conversation (you can find the conversation by searching @TeachPaperless ) -- I expect to see you Tweeting no less than two or three times a day; you get out of the network what you put into the network.
3. Start Diigo account. Go to Weblogg-ed, find an article you fancy, and leave public comment annotations.
4. Go to Blogger.com , sign up and start a new blog. Make at least one post on your impressions of the video and your impressions of what this class is going to be like (and feel free to be cruel... just be cool).
See you in a week... (actually will probably see you on Twitter).

I found a place to sell your unwanted electronic devices and other items!
Remember the good old times when our grand fathers transistors came in much use to us as kids because we got to listen to the radio and all it offered? and am going back in the 80's and before, when the gramophone, the piano and the violin satisfied our hearing senses in place of what we now have in the form of Dvd's.
The good old times would never be irreplaceable but what about our stuff that we used to put way in boxes once we deemed it as "not in a condition to work"? well am talking about our electronics we use and throw or put them away as we tend to purchase and use the products once out in the market, as the years go by. It's a human tendency to keep replacing old with new, and with what technology has offered from the yesteryear's till today, its obviously irresistible to keep our senses away from technologies magical and tempting offerings! hehe..
Am sure many of you have encountered the frustration of dumping old stuff because if you dint have an attic, a basement or backyard, what would you do, where would you keep those items to rest? Coming to the main point, now you'll never need to worry as to where to stack your broken electronic devices because sellingbin.com has come to your rescue by offering to buy and sell your old, unused and broken electronics. Isn't it nice, that they also buy laptops, cell phones, digital cameras, video games, gaming consoles and all your other items like jewelery and books.. and all in an instant offer!
They actually don't buy your items but instead, search your quote from a network of buyers looking for exactly for the type of product you are selling. You just got to complete the appropriate form and the info is delivered by the site to the buyers, well as the buying quotes are delivered directly to you. Not only one, but multiple buyers are enabled to view your products so you are ensured the best quote possible. It's easy as written and when you know you will profit in cash for your trash, head over to know more quickly.. :-)

Jetstar on Virgin Blue - Perils of in-flight TV
In flight TV is all the rage with Low Cost Carriers because it opens up a revenue stream without the complexity of managing a video on demand system. Unfortunately streaming live TV comes with a lack of editorial control. Here is a photo of me watching a Jetstar TV advertisement while sitting in a Virgin Blue seat somewhere between Sydney and Melbourne. That is 192 people looking at your competitor's brand while consuming your product.
What's in a Tool?
Tonight's the first night of a ten week course I'm teaching on social tech and education at Johns Hopkins.
Here's a question directed to the folks out there using social tech in the classroom on a regular if not daily basis: if you were teaching the course, what are a few Web tools you'd insist that every new teacher learn about in grad school?
And the classic part two: Why? What is it about these tools that makes understanding them so essential to teaching in the digital age?
Comment away, I'm looking forward to reading your ideas, sharing them, and debating them with my students.

Euro reporting for more European countries
If you're a publisher located in Cyprus, Luxembourg, Malta, Monaco, San Marino, Slovenia, or Vatican City, you can now switch to local currency reports to view your earnings in Euros. Once you make this change, any earnings generated from advertisers paying on other currencies will be converted to Euros each day. This also means that if you're receiving payments in Euros, there won't be any additional conversions at the end of the month when payments are issued.
Before you switch to local currency reports, we suggest you download and save copies of your past reports in U.S. dollars for your records. Once you've done that, look for the green prompt in the upper right hand corner of your Reports Overview page. Click the link in the prompt, and you'll be asked to agree to a new set of Terms and Conditions. If you have questions or need legal advice on interpreting the new Terms, please don't hesitate to contact your attorney.
We encourage you to switch to local currency reports soon, since we'll be requiring this update in the future. You can learn more about these new reports in our Help Center, and we also recommend reviewing answers to a few FAQs we covered on the blog before.
