This week we were asked to conduct a theoretical conversation between two parties regarding technology use in the classroom. My partner Katelyn and I created a (completely fictional and intentionally humorous) conversation around the use of Kahoot as a learning tool in the classroom. The conversation was instigated by a seasoned, old fashion teacher named Mrs. Crumplebottom who is questioning the effectiveness of Kahoot. Ms. Kipps is a newer teacher who is enthusiastic about integrating technology into her classroom to up engagement.
Mrs. Crumplebottom: I think we need to have a conversation about what is going on in your classroom. Now I know that you have only been teaching for a few years and you still have some of that bright-eyed optimism but honestly, I don't think the students in your room are taking their learning seriously. They come into my room every day talking about some gibberish sounding game you let them play. Smaboot…. Flabroot… What's it called?
Ms. Kipps: I think you are perhaps meaning Kahoot? I'd be happy to help if you have questions about it!
Mrs. Crumplebottom: Yes! That one! I truly wonder what they are teaching you youngsters at that university. Back in my day students took their learning seriously with good old sobering exams to show what they had learned.
Ms. Kipps: While I appreciate your experience, something to consider is that the students are really enjoying this type of learning! It's less stressful and more like a game to them! It makes for a very exciting class!
Mrs. Crumplebottom: And how exactly does playing childish games help them to learn?
Ms. Kipps: I think one of the greatest benefits is that they are engaged! While it appears to be a game, it's sneakily forcing them to think back to what they know and have learned in the class! And if by chance they get it wrong, it provides them with some immediate feedback to correct the misinformation.
Mrs. Crumplebottom: But they keep coming into my room talking about points and code names. How does that relate to learning?
Ms. Kipps: Well, the points are sort of like an incentive for the students. It gives them something to strive for in the platform and increases the buy-in for it. No different than the points given on a test, really! And the code names are generally just for fun but also allow for some anonymity for the students who worry about being embarrassed for getting answers wrong. If you want to know more about the research behind using games in the classroom to facilitate learning you could read this article. I know how much you love to read.
Mrs. Crumplebottom: Interesting! So what would you use it for? You wouldn't use this to teach a new topic right?
Ms. Kipps: Definitely not to teach something brand new. It's more of a simple review tool! I am able to take the information that we have learned already, whether that be from the class that day, the day before, or over the course of a unit, turn it into engaging questions, and then have the students review it in real time so that I can see how much they have retained and maybe where I need to go back over with some additional teaching! Super helpful!
Mrs. Crumplebottom: So are these Kafloots pre-made or do you get to tailor them completely to what you have been teaching?
Ms. Kipps: While there are some stock games just for fun, I can actually create my own Kahoots with specifically tailored questions about whatever it is we are working on! That way there are no surprises for students (unless I want there to be, of course). If you want to check it out, here is a little explanatory video:
Mrs. Crumplebottom: Hhhmmm. I see. So what if a student comes to class and for whatever reason, they don't have access to a mobile phone or other devices?
Ms. Kipps: Well, one option is to de-techify it and have them respond on paper first, like a quiz. However, another option that I recommend would be to use the team option! That way not everyone needs a device and it encourages students to collaborate with one another rather than compete.
Taken from:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6QsjJPENK78
Mrs. Crumplebottom: That is a lovely feature. When I watched the video from the Youtubes it appeared that there are time limits on how quickly the students need to answer. Doesn't that reduce the learning to just focusing on speed? And what if a student gets anxious in timed settings, doesn't that agitate them?
Ms. Kipps: It is true that sometimes it can feel like a pressured situation for some students. I think that is why it is better used as a formative assessment tool rather than anything summative. Part of reducing the anxiety that students may feel comes from the environment that is created in the situation. If students are aware that it is low stakes and we emphasize the game aspect of the tool, then it becomes easier for them to find a level of comfort in engaging with the technology. This is also where the team aspect is useful because we can use a more gradual release into the individual engagement.
Mrs. Crumplebottom: So what would you do if there was a student in your room that had a visual impairment. They have to be able to see the board as well as their own device in order to respond effectively don't they?
Ms. Kipps: For more advanced exceptionalities such as visual impairments and perhaps even reading difficulties, there is always the option of reading the prompt out loud. I would agree that this is perhaps not the best platform for all students, but you do your best to include and involve everyone. For those who have less severe visual impairments, I like to plan ahead and make sure that they are situated in a place that gives them the best opportunity to be able to see the board.
Mrs. Crumplebottom: I can see that I may have been a bit hasty in my judgement of this tool. The students do truly seem to be enjoying and learning in your classes in a way that they don't seem to be in mine. I still have a few questions about it but would you be willing to show me how to set it up sometime next week? Or could I at least come in and observe one day when the kids are using it?
Ms. Kipps: Absolutely! Next week the students are actually going to try their hand at creating their own Kahoots to quiz each other before their unit test. You are more than welcome to come in and check it out. While I do agree with you that it has a few limitations, all around it is a very simple and engaging way to integrate technology into any classroom and the students for the most part really enjoy getting to play instead of "learn"!

Bel'Empada: The Life of Pie
Lisbon | By Célia Pedroso
Lisbon -- These days, a good Portuguese-style savory pie is hard to find – even in Portugal. In a country with so many great examples, namely in Alentejo, Beiras or Trás-os-Montes, where pies (or empadas in Portuguese) are beautifully made, it's disheartening that in Lisbon you'll find mostly dull and dry versions or disappointing fillings…

Athens' Suburban Gem: Eating and Drinking in Maroussi

Athens -- As you approach Maroussi by train, it is difficult to imagine that 100 years ago it was full of mansions with lush gardens – some still standing today – olive orchards and vineyards. Situated 13 km north of Athens, Maroussi (AKA Amarousion) was the home of Spyros Louis, the first athlete to win…

In the fight against global warming, 320 mayors of U.S. cities have boldly gone where the U.S. government would not — into the forefront with 164 nations to embrace the Kyoto Accord and set targets that will lead to reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 2012.
Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels said that even if the federal government did nothing to clean up its act, U.S. mayors could make a difference.
On the day in 2005 when the Kyoto Protocol became law around the world — except in the U.S., where in 2001 President Bush had withdrawn from the treaty — Nickels launched the Climate Protection Initiative and urged heads of other cities to join Seattle in pledging to meet or beat the Kyoto standards, by reducing their heat-trapping gas emissions 7 percent from 1990 levels by 2012.
Seattle was the first to require all its city-owned buildings to be certified green. The buildings, including the new city hall and central library, use less water, less energy and are healthier places to inhabit.
The city's diesel buses run on veggie oil producing 78 percent fewer greenhouse gas emissions and less air pollution; electric-powered Segways move the meter-reading patrols along Seattle's streets; its public utility, Seattle City Light, became the first major U.S. electric utility to achieve zero net emissions of greenhouse gases last year.
Big cities like New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Dallas have signed on to Nickels' Climate Protection Initiative and they are pooling their best ideas to share with smaller cities, everything from how to enact anti-sprawl land-use policies to how to green the roofs of your buildings.
A report by AP yesterday features all sorts of programs run by U.S. cities trying to meet the Kyoto standards:
Lincoln, Neb., is now running its public buses on biodiesel, has begun operating wind turbines at its electric utility and has established miles of bike and pedestrian trails. Lexington, Ky., has replaced incandescent traffic signal bulbs with more energy-efficient LED ones, added hybrid cars to its municipal fleet and began picking up trash just once a week to trim vehicle emissions. In Salt Lake City, stricter guidelines aimed at making public buildings green have been passed and wind energy is being more widely used. And, many cities have partnered with businesses to meet their goals…

The Justia Lawyer Directory is a listing of lawyers, legal aid organizations, and pro bono legal service organizations. Whether you were injured, are accused of a crime, or are merely engaging in everyday affairs that affect your legal rights or property, an attorney can help you resolve problems or prevent new ones from arising.
Here are just a few situations where you might want to seek the advice of an attorney:
- You were injured in a car or truck accident
- You have been arrested and charged with a crime, such as DUI or shoplifting
- You are considering separating from your spouse
- You have been subjected to harassment or other discrimination at work
Use Justia to research and compare Davidsonville attorneys so that you can make an informed decision when you hire your counsel.
It is important to research an attorney before hiring him or her. Be sure to evaluate an attorney's experience (types of cases handled, prior results obtained, etc.). Although prior results are not indicative of the likelihood of success in your case, they can help you make an informed decision.
Also worth serious consideration is the attorney's location, particularly if you will be traveling to visit him or her for consultations.
Finally, research an attorney to see whether he or she has ever been subject to discipline. Although disciplinary actions do not necessarily impact the attorney's competence to handle your case, they may affect your decision whether to hire.

If you liked Waiting For Guffman, and you loathe movies like Dead Poet's Society and Mr. Holland's Opus, you'll love Hamlet 2. Standout performances by Steve Koogan as Dana Marschz, the lead character, Catherine Keener as his depressed wife, Amy Poehler as an ACLU lawyer, Elizabeth Shue (as herself), and unknown Shea Pope as the 9th grade theater critic, Noah Sapperstein. He almost steals the show. He had me at Roland Barthes.
It's a story about a crazy-assed, somewhat moronic, but ultimately sympathetic high school drama teacher who stages adapted versions of movies like Erin Brockovich instead of the usual high school fare (West Side Story, Death of a Salesman). Sapperstein, the critic, who pans all of his productions tells him that he should try writing original stuff. It tells you a lot about the movie and the writing and the characters that the protagonist turns to a Freshman dramaturge for advice--and then follows it. In any case Marschz knows he has to do something big to save the deapartment which is being cut due to budget cuts.
To save the department Marschz decides to write and produce a sequel to Hamlet. You may remember that at the end of Hamlet almost everyone is dead. "I have a device to fix that," he tells his wife. "What? A time machine?" she asks. "Yes." And someone named Jesus shows up in the sequel too, inexplicably, but probably just as an excuse for the showcase number Rock Me, Sexy Jesus.
Hamlet 2 is graced by balls-out performances. Most notable is Coogan's anti-hero, the caftan wearing, totally clumsy and admittedly untalented Marschz. But there's als0 the drama geeks Rand, a delightful closet case and Epiphany, a goody two shoes with a dark side.
In a way this movie is solidly in the "lets put on a show" genre, or the genre of British and American formulaic comedies, or inspirational dramas, that show the underdog rising predictably to great glory (Billy Elliott, Kinky Boots, Seabiscuit, Rocky, The Great Debaters, Calendar Girls, The Full Monty, Strictly Ballroom, etc.). Nine times out of ten, I hate this shit, because I like to be surprised
And surprised I was.Here's what got me. The show within the show--I'm not giving anything away by saying that it's a smash. I expected that, but I didn't expect to be moved. I think it was the Tucson Gay Men's Choir singing "Someone Saved My Life Tonight." Magic. What is better in life than completely unexpected tears?

Explain how Lokpal is strong: Anna tells Sonia
Hazare said the new Bill is of no use if the anti-corruption ombudsman does not have control over CBI and the lower bureaucracy is not brought under its direct control. "Sonia Gandhi says the bill is strong. If it is so, let she come out and debate with us in front of media. Let people see it. Convince the people of the country that it is strong.
We will explain how it is not strong," he told reporters here. "What is right and wrong with the bill, let us debate in public," he said as government prepared to introduce the bill in Lok Sabha.
Hazare`s remarks came as a response to Gandhi`s speech at Congress Parliamentary Party meeting on Wednesday during which she said the proposed legislation was strong and she was ready for a fight for it.
Continuing his attack on the government, Hazare said he will go ahead with his three-day fast from December 27 and then `jail bharo` agitation against the "weak" bill which will not help the poor in their fight against corruption.
"I will be part of the group that will `gherao` the residences of Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi as part of our jail filling agitation," he said.
He said putting CBI out of Lokpal shows how the bill will be "useless". "The biggest victims of corruption are the poor who have to pay bribes to get any work done. How will the commonman live like this? Our demand is that lower bureaucracy be brought under Lokpal," he said.
But, Hazare said the lower bureaucracy is being brought under Central Vigilance Commission which is under the control of government. "How will the commonman get justice. Lower bureaucracy and CBI should be under Lokpal. Only then the bill will be in right form," he said.
Criticising the Grievance Redressal Bill, Hazare said the government does not have the intent to help people fight corruption.
"If a citizen has a complaint regarding a passport, he will have to go to grievance redressal officer. If he is not satisfied, he can approach the senior officer. If he does not get justice then he has to go state level and central level commissions.
"For just a passport, why would anyone take these many rounds of government offices," he said. His close associate Kiran Bedi also stepped up attack on the UPA alleging it was not giving the control of CBI to the anti-corruption ombudsman as "skeletons of suspects" are lying buried in the agency`s cupboards.
Team Anna has been very vocal about the proposal of the Lokpal not being given administrative control over CBI arguing that without an investigating arm, the ombdusman remains defunct.
"All skeletons of suspects are lying buried in CBI cupboards. Which is why government is keeping the key of administration with it and Lokpal away," Bedi tweeted.
"Generational change will not happen in our country till evidence in buried in files with CBI is exhumed and the corrupt brought to book….Politicians/Bureaucrats/Persons/who have skeletons in their cupboards will never let a strong Lokpal be passed," she said.
"Rationale of Lokpal is lost. It was for becoming an independent effective investigating agency not an enquiry Pal and weaken CBI," she added.

Well the Olympics are nearly on us and now that LU staff have extorted their extra pay we can expect world class service ahem..... With all those different nationalities working for LU we should have no language barriers except for the Queens English which most of them struggle with.
Its all a moot point anyway. How in gods name do TFL expect to transport to the Olympic venues in rush hours that are already crammed with NO exptra space? Well they dont expect to. They expect us to change our arrangements (eg fuck off) for a couple of weeks.
Oh well we can get the bus.. NO they are in the process of striking for their extortion money.

The first method involves pinging the LAN broadcast address.
To find out the broadcast address of the local network:
$ ifconfig eth0
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 01:1B:6B:D8:B1:26
inet addr:192.168.0.103 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

From the ifconfig output, we determine that the broadcast address is 192.168.0.255. Now, we ping the broadcast address.
$ ping -b -c 3 -i 20 192.168.0.255
WARNING: pinging broadcast address

Note that:
-b is required in order to ping a broadcast address.
-c is the count (3) of echo requests (pings) it will send.
-i specifies the interval in seconds between sending each packet. You need to specify an interval long enough to give all the hosts in your LAN enough time to respond.
The ping method does not guarantee that all systems connected to the LAN will be found. This is because some computers may be configured NOT to reply to broadcast queries, or to ping queries altogether.
The second method uses nmap. While nmap is better known for its port scanning capabilities, nmap is also very dependable for host discovery.
You can run nmap as either a non-root user, or root. nmap will only give non-root users the IP address of any host found.
$ nmap -sP 192.168.0.1-254
Starting Nmap 4.11 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2008-05-19 17:02 PDT

Host 192.168.0.103 appears to be up.
Nmap finished: 254 IP addresses (3 hosts up) scanned in 2.507 seconds
If you run nmap as root, you will also get the MAC address:

The black woodpecker is one of the world's largest woodpeckers. Scientifically known as Dryocopus martius, the black woodpecker is native to Europe and parts of Asia. It is about 17 to 18 inches (45 to 47 cm) tall and weighs a little more than a half-pound (300 grams). With nearly all black plumage, the bird is non-migratory.
The black woodpecker is often described as being similar in appearance to a crow. The only coloring apart from its black feathers is a crown of red at the top of the head. The entire crown of the male bird is red, while the female bird only has a patch of red at the back of her head.
The bird's beak is a light gray, and the eyes are white. A black woodpecker's wingspan can reach 33 inches (84 cm). With a beak of about 2.5 inches (6.3 cm) in length, the black woodpecker's diet consists of ants and beetles, both the adults and the larvae. The bird finds its food by using its long bill to excavate into dead trees.
The black woodpecker is not graceful in flight, but flaps its wings more than many birds and flies with its head held up. It doesn't dip while in flight, as many woodpecker species do, but flies in a straight pattern. While flying and upon landing, it often makes a shrill crying sound. The bird also has a whistle that it repeats twice, though this call is most often used when it is not in flight.
The breeding population of black woodpeckers in Europe is estimated at more than 740,000. With its range in Europe expanding, the black woodpecker can also be found in some parts of Asia. The bird's favorite habitat is mature coniferous forests.
The female bird broods only once per year, in early to mid-April, depending on her location. The breeding time is only about 13 days. The black woodpecker lays her four to six eggs in a hole in a tree or utility pole, sometimes as much as 82 feet (25 meters) off the ground. She incubates the eggs for 12 to 14 days, and after 24 to 28 days the birds will fledge.
As the population of the black woodpecker is holding steady and its range is actually increasing, there is little concern about its conservation status. It is the largest of the woodpeckers in its range and is probably the second largest woodpecker in the world. The largest woodpecker in the world is thought to be the great slaty woodpecker, with the likely extinctions of the ivory-billed and imperial woodpeckers.

Getting Your Z-z-z's
Having trouble falling asleep at night? Or do you snap awake at 2 a.m. and watch anxiously as minutes slip away on the clock? Six out of 10 Americans have difficulty sleeping a few nights a week, according to the National Sleep Foundation. While chronic sleep disorders may require a physician's or mental health professional's care, you may be able to avoid the occasional restless night with a few nutritional tricks.
1. Eat a bedtime snack. If your pattern is to wake up in the middle of the night, your blood sugar may be low. Try a protein- and fiber-rich snack that will get you through the night, like an apple or pear with nut butter. Or substitute a slice of whole-grain bread for the fruit – whole grains are high in magnesium, a naturally relaxing mineral.
2. Go nuts. Nuts such as almonds, hazelnuts and cashews are rich in tryptophan, an amino acid that helps encourage calm and restfulness. Since these tasty nuts are also high in fat and calories, keep your serving to 1/4 cup, and skip the salted and flavor-added varieties.
3. Boost your calcium. In a study published in the "European Neurology Journal," researchers linked a lack of REM, or deep, sleep to a calcium deficiency – suggesting there might be something to the old trick of a glass of warm milk before bed. If milk doesn't appeal, try some plain yogurt with berries and nuts. If you take a daily calcium-magnesium supplement, consider having it before bed.
4. Brew a cup of herbal tea. Chamomile, lemon balm, valerian root and passionflower are famous for their relaxing properties. Sip a cup before bed to help ease you gently into sleep.
Sweet dreams!

Growing up, chocolate chip scones were a staple in our house. Most mornings you would find my mom baking away to have the delicious, crumbly, chocolate treat ready for us before we woke up. Between getting 4 kids out the door for school, and some how always finding time to make us breakfast, I'm pretty sure my mom is Wonder woman. Pretty much everything that I have learned about cooking and baking is from her. Simply put, she is my role model and I'm pretty proud to say that we are two peas in a pod. One of my favorite family recipes to make are these scones. This morning we woke up to a crisp fall day, and I knew scones would be the perfect breakfast. I thought it would be fun to put a twist on the typical chocolate chip scones and make pumpkin scones with a spiced icing. They are DELICIOUS and make your house smell oh so good and cozy.
To start, preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Mix together your dry ingredients (Flour, Sugar, Baking Powder, Salt, Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Cloves, And Ginger)
Next add the butter into dry ingredients. I place a stick of butter in the freezer approximately a half hour to 45 minutes before hand. It is much easier to work with when it is really cold. Another trick that I have found is to use a cheese grater to grate the butter.
Once butter is grated, add to flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter to cut the butter into mixture. Cut until the mixture resembles cornmeal.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, half-and-half (you can also use milk) vanilla, and the egg.
Making a well in the middle, add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Fold wet ingredients in, forming into a ball. I usually add in a handful, of chocolate chips in at this time
On a lightly floured surface , pat dough into a circle approximately 1-2 inches thick (I split my dough into two circles). With a knife, slice the dough into 8 triangles. I had two circles so I ended up with 16 triangles
Place on baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 13-16 minutes or until lightly browned. When done, place on a cooling rack.
While allowing scones to cool, which is hard because they smell SO good. Whip together the spiced topping. These scones are perfectly good alone but I love the extra kick the icing gives them. Mix together the powdered sugar, milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of ginger and cloves.
Once scones are cooled, top with your icing and you are all set to devour these delicious little treats!

My friend and I were invited to take the Photo Bike tour on our recent trip to Barcelona and had a great time. The tour was full of interesting sights that we would not have seen otherwise. Alfredo, our guide, was very insightful and shared lots of interesting information about the sights we saw and the city in general. My friend and I definitely are not regular cyclists however we both found the pace to be very manageable and discovered that Barcelona is an extremely cyclist friendly city. Despite being out on busy streets we always felt safe and confident.

Karen Millen 'The Super Frill Shirt' Look4Less
There are very few wardrobe pieces as essential as a good white shirt. It's the true MVP, the wear it anywhere piece. I strongly believe in investing in good quality white shirts. Obviously everyone should own a classic button up, however it's just as important to own quirky white shirts that add interest to an outfit. I first discovered Karen Millen's 'White Shirt Project' when I saw the shirt below on the incredible Lydia Elise Millen. Lydia has worn this shirt in so many different ways, be sure to check out her blog. The shirt below from Karen Millen is €140, as always just click the image to shop.

GG Marmont matelassé shoulder bag Look4Less
The most hyped luxury brand right now? It has got to be Gucci! They've had a comeback like no other over the past two seasons. The 'Marmont' handbag collection has been central in Gucci's recent fashion revival. A shoulder bag with a soft structured shape and wavy quilting, this bag definitely gives major Chanel vibes. Although it would get a lot of use, it may not be quite enough to justify the price. The GG Marmont Matelassé shoulder bag costs € 1,790 and is available to shop by clicking the picture below.

If you rent a car in Florence be aware that parking is limited in the centre of the city, which is a limited traffic zone or ZTL. Parking options around the outskirts are many and varied, however, and include private garages, paid parking lots, street parking and even some free parking.
ZTL is in force during weekdays from 7.30am to 8.00pm and on Saturdays between 7.30am and 4.00pm. You don't need a permit to enter it outside of these hours, but even then parking is limited.

There is a network of good roads in Florence, which all pass through many of the city's famous squares, so it's fairly easy to navigate. Liberta Square for instance in the north is where seven roads converge, and Repubblica Square is at an intersection of two of the city's main thoroughfares.
The Via Camillo Cavour runs through the northern district and cuts through much of Florence's historic centre.
The Via Ghibellina is one of the longest streets in the city and is useful for accessing the suburbs.
The Via dei Calzaiuoli is the most historic street in the centre and links two famous piazzas.
If you're here for shopping, head off along the Via de' Tornabuoni, a luxury thoroughfare lined with upmarket boutiques that connects Antinori Square with Ponte Santa Trinita. Bear in mind a few things while driving in Florence:
• Italians drive on the right hand side of the road.
• Making a right turn on a red light is always illegal, unlike the situation in the US and Canada for example.
• The ZTL zone in Florence is not open to private cars, and if you hang around in this area during its operational hours your number plate will be recorded by cameras and you will receive a fine.
• An upside-down red-and-white triangle indicates that you do not have the right of way.
• Useful words to look out for on traffic signs include sinistra (left), dextra (right) and dritto (straight ahead). Peddagio means toll and uscita means exit.
• There are speed limits on all roads in Italy, indicated by a number inside a red and white circle. This will be in kilometres rather than miles.
• A sign that shows an officer with his hand raised means that there's a checkpoint or speed trap coming up.
