“Após o lançamento do sítio eletrônico http://www.pclinuxos.com.br/ tivemos várias mudanças, mantendo as bases estruturais, que consolidaram nosso projeto. Para que isso fosse possível, fez-se necessária a criação de um veículo de comunicação que cumprisse esta meta.

Todos os que acompanham o PCLinuxOS no Brasil percebem que o trabalho é inteiramente desenvolvido por feedbacks da Comunidade para a Equipe Administrativa, sendo tudo muito claro e transparente para todos. Durante discussões internas, foi decidido criar um Jornal Informativo, cuja função já foi dita, mas que tivesse um diferencial: levar os lançamentos tanto para a Comunidade, mas também ao grande público, de forma coesa e prática.

Assim nasceu o Jornal Informativo. Normalmente às sextas-feiras uma postagem, similar a esta, é disponibilizada para a leitura de todos (também na página principal do projeto, permanecendo lá por 7 dias). Mantendo uma freqüência de uma mensagem por semana, conseguiremos informar a todos a respeito do que se passa no projeto de forma geral, e ainda emitiremos para veículos de comunicação de circulação nacional os frutos do belíssimo trabalho que é desenvolvido por todos que participam ativamente da Comunidade PCLinuxOS Brasil.

Você quer discutir a respeito deste veículo de comunicação? Sinta-se à vontade para freqüentar nosso fórum, sugerir melhorias e apontar críticas, para que possamos fazer do PCLinuxOS no Brasil uma Comunidade cada dia melhor.”

Imagine my excitement when I opened an email and it began...

"Hi Jim,
This is Natasha Dantzig for the TED (Technology, Entertainment and Design) Conference. "

I know you're a big supporter of TED (I really like your blog), and I'm writing to let you know that organizers of the TED Prize have ..."

Yes, in fact I DID swallow my heart a few times at that point. And then I realized that she was reminding me of a challenge that was issued a while back. I had meant to write aboutit, and I know that several others already have. But for those whose blog explosure is limited to my blog, here's the rest of the story, in Natasha's words.

"...announced an open challenge in support of author and philanthropist Dave Eggers and his 2008 TED Prize wish to collect 1,000 stories of private citizens engaged in their local public schools. Each year, three individuals are granted the TED Prize, which provides winners with a wish to change the world, $100,000 in seed money, and the support of the TED community in making the wish come true.

As an extension of Eggers initial wish, the open challenge asks individuals to design and implement new projects for local public school students. The three winning entries will receive a pass to the sold out TED2009 Conference to be held in Long Beach, California on February 4-7, 2009. Additionally, Eggers asks local citizens to support 826 National, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping students, ages 6-18, with expository and creative writing at six locations across USA. Eggers co-founded the original 826 chapter, 826 Valencia, a nonprofit tutoring center and writing school for children, in 2002.

Entries are open to the public and may be submitted by visiting onceuponaschool.org and will be judged by a panel of educators, entrepreneurs, and creatives from the TED Community. Projects will be evaluated on the following criteria:

• Innovation: Was a new model used? Is the approach creative? Were the students provided with access to something new?
• Collaboration: How well did the project leaders work with the teacher/school? Did the project address a specific challenge or need of the students?
• Impact: What changed in the life of the students, teacher, and school? Was the community affected? Did the work inspire other private citizens to get involved?

The Deadline for submissions is October 31, 2008.

We're reaching out to the education community with the hope that you'll help us get the word out about this initiative.

Have a great weekend.

Here's your chance. This is a WONDERFUL opportunity to share your creativity and get a chance to go to TED 2009. I KNOW that MANY of you are doing amazing things. TELL THEM ABOUT IT!! This could be YOUR moment!

BTW - I gets LOTS of sites emailing me with information about their site in hopes that I'll write about it. I rarely do. But this is just too good to keep a secret.

I always point to Mark Ahlness' class blog when showing student blogs. Mark teaches third graders. And I ALWYS tell this story: http://tipline.blogspot.com/2007/05/tips-third-grade-tech-problem-solvers-i.html. It never fails to get the jaws dropping.

Mark's class is just now getting started with their own blogs. Yes, Viginia, there ARE schools where blogs are actually ENCOURAGED instead of being blocked. If you don't follow this blog, and occassionally check in on what his third graders are writing about, then I recommend that you begin. Actual student blogs. What a concept, eh? ;-)

Der Finne Veikko Rihu hat zwei ferngesteuerte Volvo Open 70 im Maßstab 1:17 gebaut. Sehr, sehr nett umgesetzt in Carbon. Die Specs: 1339mm Länge, 350mm Breite, 6.3kg davon 4.7kg im Kiel, 45 Grad schwenkbarer Canting Keel.

Richtig gelesen: Canting Keel. Damit ist das mit Sicherheit das erste RC-gesteuerte Schiff mit schwenkbarem Kiel. Und so sieht die Mechanik zum Schwenken des Kiels aus:

Hier einige Bilder von den Hightech-Modellracern (Quelle):

I have been doing the assigned reading and so much of it is conceptual that I have a difficult time understanding how one would apply the information. I suppose that one has to begin someplace and it'll become clearer as I go along. I did like the box about effective teaching of Hamlet - getting students to think thematically before they even read the text and then seeing how their ideas relate to the text as they read is a wonderful idea. Many of the ideas would revolutionize effecting teaching in this country if the school boards ever let teachers have to flexibility to apply them, and not focusing so much attention on the FCAT.
