Step into the magical world of Venice
Article by Jessica No Comments
Come September, there's nowhere I'd rather be. Visiting Venice, even for a weekend, is like stepping into another world. In fact, its one-of-a-kind atmosphere makes it one of the best European city breaks within easy reach (Venice flights are just 2–2.5 hours from the UK).
I'm fresh from my own whirlwind weekend in Venice, where I picked up these top tips for discovering its magic:
- Regata Storica: I was lucky enough to catch Venice's historical regatta (which is held on the first Sunday of September each year). You don't have to be into rowing to love this six-century-old event. It's all about spectacle. And, although it's hard to credit, this gorgeous pageant of colourful boats and costumes makes this prettiest of cities even more eye-catching.
- Titian: This master of colour ruled the 'Venetian school', the city's awe-inspiring run of important Renaissance artists. Among his contemporaries (including greats like Tintoretto), Titian was known as the 'sun amid small stars'. I suggest you blaze a trail to the Gallerie dell'Accademia to see how Titian's daring use of colour can still thrill today.
- Celebrity comes to Lido: The Venetian island of Lido was the Saint-Tropez of its day. Once the byword in bathing resorts, its heyday is long past. But glamour does return to Lido each year, in late August to early September, on the red carpet of the Venice Film Festival. It's a prestigious event for filmmakers. But it also brings a big dose of Hollywood froth to Venice. This year, Lido hosted the likes of James Franco and Naomi Watts.
- Biennale: The buzz is bigger than ever in Venice from June to November, with its architecture Biennale in even years and art Biennale in odd years. Even if you don't make it to the exhibitions in the Giardini gardens and Arsenale, you'll notice quirky events and installations popping up all round the city. And, in the city's bars and restaurants, you'll rub shoulders with some of the world's top artists and designers.
- Late summer nights: Once the energy-sapping heat of August fades, Venice nights grow even more alluring. Make the most of the end-of-season warmth with softly lit dinners outside canal-side restaurants, or an evening meander through Venice's picturesque squares and lanes.
- Harry's Bar: Nowhere captures the romance of Venice better than Harry's Bar, to the west of the Piazza San Marco. There's no doubt you'll be keeping intriguing company (Harry's has hosted the great, good and notorious – from Charlie Chaplin to Woody Allen). And if you order a Bellini, you can't go wrong.

|Britney Spears chronology
|Singles from Oops!...I Did It Again
Oops!... I Did It Again is the second studio album by American recording artist Britney Spears. It was released on May 16, 2000 by Jive Records. Its music incorporates pop, dance-pop, and teen pop styles, much in the vein of her debut album ...Baby One More Time (1999).[3] The album also explores a more funkier and R&B sound, while Spears also covers Rolling Stones' "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" and The Jets' "You Got It All" on the UK's edition. Contributions to the album's production came from a wide range of producers, including Max Martin, Rami Yacoub, Per Magnusson, David Kreuger, Kristian Lundin, Jake Schulze, Darkchild, and Robert John "Mutt" Lange.[4]
Upon its release, Oops!... I Did It Again received generally favorable reviews from music critics. It debuted at the top the U.S. Billboard 200, with first-week sales of 1,319,000 copies, breaking the previous SoundScan record for the highest debut-week album sales by a solo artist.[5] The album also reached number one in thirteen other countries while peaking inside the top five positions in Australia, Finland, Japan, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. It was her second album to receive a diamond certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).[6] The album has sold 24 million copies to date, making it one of the highest selling albums of all time and Spears' second best selling album after ...Baby One More Time.[7][8]
Four singles were released from the album. Its title track became an international hit reaching number one in Australia, Canada, United Kingdom and nine other countries while peaking in the top five positions in six other countries and number 9 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. Its second single "Lucky" reached number one in five countries, top-ten in twelve countries and number 23 on the U.S., while its third single "Stronger" became a top-ten hit in nine countries and reached number 11 on the Billboard chart, becoming the highest-selling single of the album in the United States, receiving a Gold certification in the US and three other countries. Its final single, "Don't Let Me Be the Last to Know", became a moderate hit on the charts.

Background and development[edit]
"When I did the first album, I had just turned 16. I mean, when I look at the album cover, I'm like, 'Oh, my lordy.' I know this next album's going to be totally different--especially the material. I just got finished recording the first six tracks in Sweden two months ago, and the material is so much more funkier and edgier. And, of course, it's more mature because I've grown as a person too."
After vacationing for six days after the completion of the ...Baby One More Time Tour in September 1999, Spears returned to New York City to begin recording songs for her follow-up album; the majority of the recording took place in November. It featured contributions from Max Martin, Eric Foster White, Diane Warren, and Babyface.[10] The songs "Oops!... I Did It Again", "Walk On By", "What U See (Is What U Get)", and "Don't Go Knockin' On My Door" were the first to be recorded at Martin's Cheiron Studios in the first week of November; followed by "Stronger" and "Lucky", which were finalized (along with the title track) in January 2000. "Where Are You Now" was recorded at Cheiron in November and finished at Battery Studios in January. "Can't Make You Love Me"'s instrumental track and melody were recorded in the fall of 1999 in Sweden, with Britney recording the vocals in mid-January at Parc Studios in Orlando, FL.[11][12] Diane Warren's "When Your Eyes Say It" was recorded at Battery Studios New York on Friday, January 28, 2000, which preceded her TRL appearance that day. Her cover of "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" was recorded with Rodney Jerkins at Pacifique Recording Studios in Hollywood, CA from February 24–26, 2000[13][14] after attending the 42nd Grammy Awards.
By January, the then-untitled album was halfway to completion; Spears had worked on it primarily in the U.S. and Sweden, and finalized material in New York City.[10] She was heavily pressured after ...Baby One More Time's" huge commercial success: "It's kind of hard following ten million, I have to say. But after listening to the new material and recording it, I'm really confident with it."[15] During the release of Oops!...I Did It Again, Spears told that "I mean, of course there's some pressure," Spears says. "But in my opinion, [Oops!] is a lot better than the first album. It's edgier - it has more of an attitude. It's more me, and I think teenagers will relate to it more." Geoff Mayfield, director of charts at Billboard, adds that the decision to release Oops! less than a year and a half after Spears' debut amounts to "very smart timing. My philosophy is, when you have a young fan base, get 'em while they're hot."[16]
Composition and sound[edit]
"Oops!... I Did It Again" was considered as a sequel to Spears' debut album, "...Baby One More Time" (1999),[3] percolating with a carefully measured blend of familiar pop/funk, R&B, and power-balladry.[17] Spears said on an interview that the album has a more mature, R&B-flavored pop sound. "It's not something I changed purposefully," Spears said of the album's sound. "It's just something that kind of changed on itself with me being older. My voice has changed a little bit and I'm more confident, and I think that comes across on the material."[9] One of its producers, Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins talked about working with Britney on a Rolling Stones cover, stating, "It's going to shock everybody," he said. "It has flavors of the original, but it's a straight 2000 version — new to the ear. Which I think is cool, because people who appreciate that song are going to love it. And I made it so new and young that the young kids that love Britney are going to love it. It's going to grab both a mature and young audience."[18] Spears also worked with Robert "Mutt" Lange, saying, "When you hear the song, it's so pure and delicate. It's just one of those songs that pull you in," Spears told MTV News. "I think they wrote it 'specially for me, because the lyrics of the song, if you really listen … they're more of what I can relate to, 'cause they're kind of young lyrics, I think. I don't think Shania would probably sing some of the words that I'm saying."[18]
The title track and opening song, "Oops!... I Did It Again", was compared to her debut single, "...Baby One More Time" (1998), featuring a slap-and-pop bassline, synthesizer chord stabs and a mechanized beat. Lyrically, the song sees Britney warning to an overeager prospective lover: "Oops, you think I'm in love/ That I'm sent from above — I'm not that innocent."[19] The song also breaks down for a spoken-word interlude, involving a line from the movie Titanic.[19] The second track "Stronger" is a synthpop[20] and R&B-infused track,[18] where lyrically, it's a declaration of independence, where Britney cuts loose a guy who treats her like property.[21] The line "my loneliness ain't killing me no more" makes reference to Spears' debut single.[18] Another R&B-infused track, which also adds a bit more funk to the mix,[18] "Don't Go Knocking on My Door" finds Spears confidently forging ahead after a breakup.[21] The fourth track, a remake of The Rolling Stones' "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction", begins with mushy guitar plucking and breathy coos, until a dry, crackling lockstep is thrown down, turning the song into an urban stomp.[1] The dance-pop version also jettisons the song's final verse and adds some new lyrics[18] ("how white my shirts could be" becomes "how tight my skirt should be").[2] "[It] was my idea [to record the song]," Spears said. "I was just like, 'I like this song,' and I think it will be a really cool combination working with [hip-hop producer] Rodney [Jerkins] and doing a really funky song like that."[22]
The fifth track, "Don't Let Me Be the Last to Know", was co-written by country-pop singer-songwriter Shania Twain and her then-husband, producer Robert "Mutt" Lange, who also produced the track.[18] The ballad, which boasts a slinky keyboard riff and Lange's characteristically lavish production, finds Spears allowing a bit of country twang into her vocals as she begs a lover to reveal his feelings: "My friends say you're into me ... but I need to hear it straight from you," she sings.[18] The sixth track "What U See (Is What U Get) demands respect by rebuking a jealous beau,[21] while seventh track, "Lucky", is a heart-rending tale of a Hollywood starlet's loneliness, proving that fame can be empty.[21] "If there's nothing missing in my life/Then why do these tears come at night?," she asks.[20] "School crush" is the theme of "One Kiss from You",[21] a track that has a reggae-style beat and lyrics about the feelings of falling in love, and the quickness of it,[23] with Britney cooing that after only one kiss she sees her entire future with her lover.[24] The ballad "Where Are You Now" talks about wanting to know where a previous love is, and what that person is up to, so that she can finally let them go and find closure.[25] Lines on "Can't Make You Love Me", an Europop song,[1] state that fancy cars and money pale in comparison to true love,[21] with Spears singing, "I'm just a girl with a crush on you."[1] The mid-tempo, synth-backed "When Your Eyes Say It", penned by songwriter Diane Warren, combines a string section with a loping hip-hop beat,[18] while Spears makes her own songwriting debut on the modest, keyboard-driven ballad "Dear Diary", which she has said is autobiographical. On the track, she sings of wanting to become "so much more than friends" with a boy.[18]

Oops!... I Did It Again received favorable reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, Oops!... I Did It Again received an average score of 72, based on 12 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[26] Giving the album 4 out of 5 stars, Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic noted that the album "has the same combination of sweetly sentimental ballads and endearingly gaudy dance-pop that made 'One More Time'," but remarked that, "Fortunately, she and her production team not only have a stronger overall set of songs this time, but they also occasionally get carried away with the same bewildering magpie aesthetic, [...] giv[ing] the album character apart from the well-crafted dance-pop and ballads that serve as its heart. In the end, it's what makes this an entertaining, satisfying listen."[3] Billboard magazine wrote that "'Oops!...' indicates that she's developing a soulful edge and emotional depth that can't be conjured with a glass-shattering note," praising the album for consistently cast[ing] Spears as a young woman coming to terms with her inner power—and that's a darn good message to offer an impressionable audience."[17] Entertainment Weekly's David Browne gave the album a "B" rating, writing that the album "reminds us once again that the best new pop can be a blast of cool air in a stifling room."[1]
Rob Sheffield of Rolling Stone gave the album a 3.5 out of 5 stars rating, calling the album "fantastic pop cheese, with much better song-factory hooks than 'N Sync or BSB get",also noting that "the great thing about Oops!, under the cheese surface, is complex, fierce and downright scary, making her a true child of rock & roll tradition."[2] A writer of NME reported that "she's modern-day pop perfection realised in a nearly, human form," commenting that "she's done it again."[20] Lennat Mak of MTV Asia named it "a brilliant second album," writing that Britney "is armed with a more mature and seasoned pop star look, stronger and poppier songs, and of course, extensive media exposure."[28] Andy Battaglia of Salon called the album "a masterpiece of sorts not for its message but for the way it applies the conventions of the pop-musical medium."[30] While the website The A.V. Club was more mixed, calling it "a joyless bit of redundant, obvious, competent cheese, recycling itself at every turn and soliciting songwriting from such soulless hacks as Diane Warren and assorted Swedes."[32]

"Oops!... I Did It Again" was released as the lead single from the album, and achieved worldwide popularity. It became Spears's third top 10 single on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number 9; however, in comparison to the huge success of her debut single "...Baby One More Time", Jive Records considered "Oops!... I Did It Again" a minor disappointment.[65] The song peaked at number one on the Top 40 Mainstream,[66] holding the record for the most radio additions in one day. In the United Kingdom, "Oops!... I Did It Again" peaked atop the charts of over fifteen countries, including Australia, Italy, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.[48] Spears's music video for 'Oops!... I Did It Again' saw her in now iconic red latex catsuit, while she is visited by an American astronaut who hands her the fictional Heart of the Ocean jewel which Rose threw into the sea at the end of Titanic.[67]
The album's second single "Lucky" was released on August 8, 2000 and received positive response from critics, who considered one of her best offerings from the album. Commercially, "Lucky" topped the charts of Austria, Europe, Sweden and Switzerland, while reaching number 5 on the UK Singles Chart.[68] In the United States, "Lucky" only managed to peak at number 23 on the Hot 100 chart and at number 9 on the Top 40 Mainstream.[65] The "glittery" music video sees Britney as the narrator and an actress named Lucky, who is a melancholy movie star and shows her conflicted relationship to fame.[69]
The third single "Stronger" was released on November 13, 2000 and became the album's second highest charting single in the United States, peaking at number 11 on the Hot 100 and number one on the Hot 100 Single Sales.[65] In the UK, it reached number 7 on the UK Singles Chart.[70] Its music video sees Britney catching her boyfriend cheating on her at some futuristic, turntable club, driving off and getting in a wreck and singing in the rain,[69] while the chair sequence in the video was inspired by Janet Jackson's video for "The Pleasure Principle".[71]
The final American single "Don't Let Me Be the Last to Know" was released on March 5, 2001 and is one of her favorite tracks of her career. In the United States, the song performed well below expectations, failing to chart on the Hot 100 or the Top 40 Mainstream. However, the song attained success in Romania, reaching number one, and peaked inside the top ten in Austria, Europe and Switzerland, while reaching number 12 in the UK.[72] The music video was considered too racy at the time, portraying Spears in love scenes with her fictional boyfriend, played by French model Brice Durand.[73]
Other songs[edit]
"You Got It All" received a promotional release in France in May 2000.[74] "When Your Eyes Say It" was planned to be the fourth single, however, "Don't Let Me Be The Last to Know", was eventually chosen instead. A music video for the song was filmed in January 2001 by Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris.[75] The video was never released. A promotional CD Single for "When Your Eyes Say It" was released in the UK in January 2001.[76]
In late 1999, Spears promoted her upcoming album in Europe with live performances of her past songs. She appeared on Smash Hits in the UK[77] In Italy, she did a short interview on the show TRL Italy in early 2000.[77] and gave a surprise performance in Paris in May 2000.[78] In Australia, Spears appeared on The House of Hits and Russell Gilbert Live on May 13.[77] In Spain, she gave an interview with El Rayo on September 8 and October 24.[77] Spears performed at large venues in the UK, including Birmingham, the Wembley Arena in London, and the Manchester Evening News Arena She was accompanied by 'N Sync, who toured with her short UK outing on October 2000.[78]
In the U.S., Spears appeared on Saturday Night Live on May 13, The Rosie O'Donnell Show on May 15, and Teen People's 25 Under 25 on May 26.[79] On May 10, she was interviewed on Late Night with Conan O'Brien.[77] On May 13, Spears was both the host and musical guest on NBC's Saturday Night Live. She also performed on NBC's The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on May 23.[80] Spears' held her post-TRL listening party, "Britney's First Listen", on May 16, and was toast the arrival of her album on next Tuesday's installment of TRL that started at 3:30 pm (ET).[81] On May 14, she was at Times Square studios for two hours of "Britney Live" that started at 12 noon (ET).[81] Spears' performed "Oops!... I Did It Again" in MTV's "All Access: Backstage With Britney" that was broadcast on July 19, 2000.[77] On September 7 at the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards in New York City at the Radio City Music Hall, Spears gave a memorable live performance.[82] Which included a cover of The Rolling Stones's 1965 hit single "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" and her own hit "Oops!... I Did It Again", released earlier that year. While she began her segment in a black suit, she shocked the audience and the media while, at only the age of eighteen, ripped it off to display a revealing, flesh-colored stage outfit with hundreds of strategically placed Swarovski crystals.[83] One month before the release of the album, Spears' headed to Hawaii on Easter Sunday so she could tape a Fox television special titled Britney Spears in Hawaii. The free concert was started at 6:00 pm on the beach in front of the Hilton Hawaiian Village lagoon in Honolulu, Hawaii.[84] The Fox concert event was intended to serve as a preview of Spears' Oops!... I Did It Again album that features her 12 new songs.[84] Spears had on a month-long international promotional tour in support of Oops!... I Did It Again, and on May 2, she had a press event in Tokyo's "Kokusai Forum Hall", and she made stops in both London and Hawaii.[85] Spears was also among the scheduled performers on the 42nd Annual Grammy Awards, which was aired on at CBS at 8 pm (ET/PT).[86] She was also expected to drop by for a Grammy-day "TRL".[86]
The album was supported by the Oops!... I Did It Again World Tour, which visited North America, Europe, and a promotional appearance in Brazil as part of Rock in Rio. On the Crazy 2K Tour, Spears introduced the song "Oops!... I Did It Again" and "Don't Let Me Be the Last to Know". On June 24, 2000, Spears was featured in a print and television advertising campaign for Clairol's Herbal Essences shampoo line.[87] In a special coup for Clairol, Spears recorded her own song for the brand called "I've Got the Urge to Herbal" that was featured in 60-second radio spots and was part of a pre-concert video presentation for Spears's 50-city summer concert tour, in which Herbal Essences was the tour sponsor.[87]
Musicians Michael Cottril and Lawrence Wnukowski filed a copyright case against Spears, Zomba Recording Corp, Jive Records, Wright Entertainment Group and BMG Music Publishing, claiming Spears' "What U See (Is What U Get)" and "Can't Make You Love Me" are "virtually identical" to one of their songs. Cottrill and Wnukowski claimed that they authored, recorded and copyrighted a song called "What You See Is What You Get" in 1999 to one of Spears' representatives for consideration on a future album, though it was rejected.[88] The case was later dismissed after it was ruled that they lacked sufficient evidence and that there "weren't enough similarities between the two songs to prove copyright infringement."[89]

*head hits the desk in disbelief*
I do think Apple have stolen a march on this, their Genius bar (hate that name) is excellent. yes M$ do training but its not as accessible. I only speak from experience as we have a shiny shiny shop in Leeds now although you can never get in with all the sheep.
@localzuk Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of bad mistakes made out there and a lot of schools going a certain route without thinking.
With regards to Microsoft's training, do they offer training for teachers in the classroom and not technical?
I'm a big fan of Google myself, Android, Chrome, Google+ > Facebook.. But the educational stuff, like you say, just isn't advertised enough and non techs tend not have the faith in the company and its offerings. Wether that's based on reality or not it is a major factor in choosing an ecosystem to base your education on.
In my opinion it doesn't really matter what tech you put in the hands of students, it's how it is used by the staff and the value that it adds.
You can make android tablets work in education and there are a lot of apps available, i just don't see the level of support from developers yet to buy into the whole windows tablet / phone ecosystem. I think M$ were just a little bit too late to the tablet.
The other thing about android is they are potentially going to lose their biggest market share when Samsung pull away from Android and use their own OS that is a fork off of android in the same way that Amazon have done. That leaves a whole levels of uncertainty about what android will look like over the next few years and who is going to be developing for it.
There are literally hundreds of partners who will offer that type of training. Just because the manufacturer offers something doesn't mean it is best.
Even at £10 a month for the months the children are in the school that is £110 a year (August being the only month where the children receive no state education whatsoever). Its a mental proposal to say the least as the parents will be shelling out £330 and by the time it is paid off, it will probably be obsolete by that point as the OS will be outdated and probably wont work with the new OS
As meny of you know I've been following these threads for a while and am a keen advocate on some aspect of BYOD/1:1 devices. We've been looking at this technology here for some time but so far serious discussions at SLT level are yet to start. Our Deputy Head is keen on 1:1 iPads and I'm just starting the process of a proper consultation with staff and reviewing our current ICT infrastructure.
Skim-reading this thread I'm taken (as ever) how black and white some views on the subject can be, and find my self asking - is the negativity because of a) Apple, b) Tablets, c) 1:1 devices, or d) they could be Windows 7 netbooks and still get the same negative responses?
Asking HoD's their views on our existing ICT Infrastructure and the number 1 concern I'm hearing is lack of computer availability. The number 1 required use of computers, Internet research. Teachers want more access to ICT for Internet research. We have 4 bookable ICT suites, two are near perminantly block booked due to ICT lessons. 800 pupils, 5 years groups, competing for 2 ICT suites. Whats the right answer to the problem?
Stories like that in the OP come from needing to find an answer to this, not because "iPads are cool and we want every child to have one just 'because'".
For my part, and what I'm begining to advocate here, I see a more mixed approach rather than a 1 device fits all solution. Some departments like music may have a mix of iMacs and iPads. We'll probably always need a couple of ICT suites. Bookable laptop trollies for each department may not be such a bad idea. Add allowing students to BYOD into the mix and I think you may get a more pratical set of solutions.
As I said in a previous thread recently, the real key really is getting the Internet into the hands of students when they need it - not limited to when a teacher can book a limited resource like an ICT suite. I'm amazed at anyone who thinks in this day and age that giving students unlimited access to such a vast and important research resource is not/cannot have benificial impacts on teaching and learning. In fact I think it's very closed minded.
EDIT: In an early discussion here, after a similar presentation from a leasing company, we talked about parent contributions and meny of the issues around "state funded", "free education", "low income", etc did come up. Although everyone else at the meeting disagreed with me, my general view is - we expect parents to purchase a school uniform, Blazer with school logo on. It's not optional. Why can't these devices be part of the school uniform?
I suspect the difficulty in understanding that doesn't come from understanding the benefits it may bring, just how exactly it's implemented. Personally I believe a mixture of BYOD and *school provided, school stored* hardware should be the way forward. I will insert a Mac Pro (no, not the one that looks like it'll slip in comfortably with some KY, I mean the old one) into anyone that thinks an entirely paperless school is wise or moving anything forward *at this point*. (Good examples we've heard of this so far seem to have the same marketing people as Apple do).
It isn't and should not be about specific hardware vendors regardless; it should be about what the best tool is for the job and realising it's not a one size fits all solution for every school, every child, every area.
We managed to get 32 quad-core Android tablets (Zenithink C94), keyboard cases, a charging/storage trolley and a wireless access point on top for around £6.5K. Had problems with them at first which flashing a later ROM has solved, but now we have a bookable resource that enables 1:1 Internet access in e.g. a science lab.
Fair enough, as said earlier, no school wants to be paying £60K for 1:1 pupil tablets, but what if they could spend a third of that to gain three classrooms' worth of mobile ICT suites if all they need to do that lesson is Internet research, take pictures or light access to school work (over RDP)?
1. If the devices are 'unmanaged', you can't control what pupils are doing on them
2. If the devices are 'unmanaged', then students can install any of a plethora of time wasting apps on them - games, chat apps etc...
3. If the devices aren't controlled by the school, then how do you ensure the battery is getting a proper charge? If some of your class fails to charge their device, what do they do now? It'll inevitably be the less conscientious students too, so will end up affecting the 'lower capability' groups.
4. Not every lesson needs unlimited availability of the internet. In fact, this can be detrimental as it causes students to be reliant on the internet for all information rather than using their memory or other research sources (books, magazines etc...).
Plus all the usual issues regarding pupil safety, device reliability etc...
Who is the closed minded one in this?
I think at least part of the answer will be "Kids like tablets. Apple are cool 'n' hip 'n' pop 'n' fresh."
The way I see it, classrooms don't use the laptops we give them every lesson. That's a fact. There are plenty of times when nobody is using them at all for a given period. Therefore, why should we assume iPads/$generictablets will be used every lesson, rather than once every 3 or 4? This is the reason I don't support 1:1 policies, I honestly don't feel there will be any benefit over a set of laptops or two to be shared between classrooms in a department. Combine with that the ability to easily integrate them into our current infrastructures (and the familiarity aspect to the users) and it's a no-brainer, for me.
I'm not against iPads in general. I did a short spell with a primary school that had a set and they were absolutely fantastic for the younger children, especially learning basic numeracy, literacy and writing. But I just can't see an educational use for consumption-based devices once kids hit secondary school.
@localzuk, I think we'ce probably been round the block on this one time to meny ;)
With respect, nothing you listed there as anything to do with whether or not the Internet is a valuable resource that should be closer to the pupils rather than locked in a cupboard, and whether or not these device, or others, are the right means of achieving that.
What they are is ligitimate implementation concerns. Anyone embarking on such a project should be doing so with your four concerns their near the top of the list. They are mostly either policy decisions or require perfectly feasible technical solutions such as an MDM.
As for point 4, you are quiet right not every lesson needs Internet access. But on the other hand should student be told - you have 1x 1hour slot in four weeks time to do any necerssary Internet research on this project? There needs to be a happy medium. With 1:1 device where does teacher responsibility and classroom management (back to policy decisions) come in to play? Why can't a teacher start a lesson by saying "no iPads today, put them in your bags"?
@Garacesh, interesting response, I agree with most of what you said. Sorry if I come across as "this is a universal" struggle, not my intent! I'm very aware every school is different and will have different challeges/solutions - which is the whole point really, isn't it?
The core challenge is the same everywhere though. How to provide enought ICT resources to meet the communities needs, and how to define what those needs are. It's sounds to me like you already have your solution and to be honest it's one I'd like to mirror here.
The problem with the Internet as a resource, is that you can't totally predict when it's going to be needed. If you don't have 1:1 devices then although at times none of the available ICT resources are being used, at other times Year 8 French have to go without because Year 9 German are using the devices this lesson.
The question should be "how do we meet these needs", rather than asking "are these needs legitimate". In my mind too meny are asking the later rather than focusing on the former.
1. Classroom management by Staff and Behaviour Management for failure to follow the rules.
2. Classroom management by Staff and Behaviour Management for failure to follow the rules.
3. The same sanctions that are in place for if you forget your books. Also spare devices are kept in school and charged that can be lent out in school.
4. No, not every lesson require the use of these types of devices and generally students are only allowed to take them out of their bags when staff request them to do so.
@Marshall_IT, do we apply the "classroom/behaviour management" rule to our OWN workstations? Of course not! There's no way the teacher can be monitoring everything everyone is doing all at the same time unless they're spending all their time doing that, and that's then assuming they'd actually know what they're looking for (some will, some won't). Relying on the teacher to spot abuse/misuse in 100% of cases simply won't work; that's been the entire case for some manner of technological interdiction for at least the past decade. What @localzuk is saying is that all of this falls away as soon as the endpoint device lies outside the scope of management.
as to teaching the best teacher i know/remember need nothing more than themsleves to teach effectively with no need for ipads smartboards etc granted they can help but they are a minor part of teaching imo
as others have said i dont get the rush to what is a single user viewing device. yes it can do some creation but i still think for anything other than the wow factor something with a keyboard and mouse is a better option (try typing an essay on an ipad and i suspect you will lose the will to live much faster than on a laptop (personally anything longer than a short email i find a pita on a touchscreen)

Sept. 22, 2003 -- After age 50, a woman is at high risk for panic attacks -- especially if she has faced stressful life events and health problems.
That's the finding from a new study in this week's Archives of Internal Medicine.
Panic attacks are a distinctive form of anxiety more common in women than men.
A full-blown panic attack is defined as an attack of sudden fear for no apparent reason, anxiety, or extreme discomfort.
However, whether panic attacks are more likely to happen in the menopausal years has never been studied, writes researcher Jordan W. Smoller, MD, ScD, a psychiatric researcher with Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.
"To our knowledge, this study is the largest survey of the prevalence ... of panic attacks in postmenopausal women," Smoller adds.
Serious Life Events Trigger Panic Attacks
His study involved more than 3,000 women -- between age 50 and 79 -- who completed detailed questionnaires on an assortment of heart disease, respiratory, migraine, panic, and other symptoms; serious life events that occurred in the previous year; and limitations that panic attacks had on their lives.
Researchers found:
- 18% had experienced panic attacks in the past six months.
- 13% had full-blown panic attacks that impaired their social activities and daily lives.
- 7% had limited-symptom panic attacks (rapid or irregular heartbeat only).
- 14% of full-blown panic attacks. -- The majority happened to women between age 50 and 59.
- Women were nearly three times more likely to have full-blown panic attacks if their income was less than $20,000 a year.
- One-third of women who had full-blown panic attacks also suffered from depression symptoms and women with defined depression were also significantly more likely to suffer from full- blown panic attacks.
- Women with emphysema, asthma, heart disease, migraines with aura, and thyroid problems were more likely to report full- blown panic attacks.
- Stressful life events factored strongly in panic attacks. Women who had five or more events in the past year were seventimes more likely to have full-blown panic attacks.
A woman's marital status and education level did not make an appreciable difference in whether she had panic attacks or not. Also, whether she had taken hormone replacement therapy did not make a difference, Smoller reports.
Because some medical conditions produce symptoms similar to panic attacks -- and women may be misdiagnosed -- "we believe that the rates we observed may be a conservative estimate of panic in postmenopausal women," he writes.
Panic attacks and panic disorder often begin when women are in their 20s or 30s, but there may be a later peak between ages 45 and 54, Smoller writes. Panic Disorder in Older Women Ignored
"This is a great study; it's been very much needed," says Katherine Shear, MD, professor of psychiatry at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, tells WebMD.

Linebacker traded Aaron Wilson
The San Francisco 49ers have traded veteran outside linebacker Parys Haralson to the New Orleans Saints.
He's slated to replace starting outside linebacker Will Smith, who's out for the season with a torn anterior cruciate ligament.
"He was a good mentor, taught me a lot and best of luck to him in New Orleans," 49ers outside linebacker Aldon Smith told San Francisco reporters.
Haralson was sidelined all of last season with a torn triceps but started the previous season.

Recent Tankah Reviews
Incredibily beautiful and convenient location
Casa De Ensueno is exactly like the pictures - but better. Tankah Beach is a fantastic white sand beach with abundant rocks, sea grass, coral reef and the wildlife that goes with it -- best of all, it's right outside your door. If, that is, you had a door as the living room, pool and beach are all wonderfully open. The gorgeous views aren't framed by windows, it's just all right there for you to enjoy. The pool was big and well cared for and our three kids loved it. We all enjoyed the beach and the bay--which had almost no waves the days we were there and one could walk out pretty far without getting too deep. The two kayaks were used every day by our family of five. The home has everything you need and the bedroom suites are spacious bright, each with their own deck/patio. The wifi worked great. The stretch of homes on the beach were all very nice and the cenote down the street was lots of fun and the restaurants within easy walking distance were great. This is also a great location from which to explore the coast. Akumal and Tulum beaches were quick and easy drives, different from each other and from our own beach and well worth the outing. Sure the house has some deferred maintenance, but we sure didn't care and neither should you. The caretakers did a great job keeping the home and beach clean and looking good. The property managers were easy to talk with, responsive and on top of it. Our family would recommend Casa De Ensueno and Tankah Beach to anyone.
Family trip of a lifetime
Beautiful stay in a beautiful place. We travelled as a family (2 adult and 6 kids) and everyone agreed throughout the trip that it was a magnificent place. We had booked the chef for the week and whatever Chef Lio cooked for us was tasty and in great quantity. Maid and gardener worked really hard to maintain the place always good looking and they truly achieved this. Beds were comfortable and sheets were changed daily. The site is charming and great for relaxation. We felt secure during all our trip. Whatever the owner mentioned or wrote about this house is true. A seafront house is a lot of work to maintain in good shape and they work year round to do so was I told. The beach is a little rocky but the house offers beach shoes in quantity so do not worry. Staff will make sure your stay is nice.....be nice to them! The owner answers any questions you might have with 24 hours. He very often replied to me in less than 15 minutes so that also secured us. Cheers!
Family Vacation
My family and I recently stayed at Villa de Paz. It was my wife, with my 18yr old daughter and her friend, my 15yr old son and his friend, and my 10 year old son. Upon arrival the house and grounds from the outside are beautiful, the location is right on the beach, that includes a nice pool on the beach, it is about 15 feet to the sea, although I do not recommend swimming right off the beach in front of the house it is a bit rocky, beach shoes necessary. Inside, the house is a bit older and in need of some upgrades but overall I give it a 7 out of 10, it is spacious and comfortable and we had plenty of room. We ate all of our meals outside on the patio by the pool. Carlos the caretaker is great and cleans the house and beach everyday, he understands very little English but we had no trouble communicating, he also gets you cabs when needed. He arranged for us to have a chef prepare us breakfast and dinner 5 out of the 8 days we where there, Honorio and Maddie prepared exquisite meals, did all the shopping, we gave them the money prior, we had lobster, fajitas, fresh, salsa, and guacamole everyday, desserts, flan, pastry, it was top notch. I tipped them at the end of the week, they also served and cleaned up after every meal. It is very safe, we did lock up every night but we never felt unsafe. It was sunny and 85 everyday, with a nice ocean breeze, each bedroom has air-conditioning, but one did break in the small bedroom so we just had my son move in with his brother, no big deal. Casa Cenote is a great restaurant 2 properties down, as well as Blue Sky, Casa Cenote has a dive shop, we used them to Scuba Dive the freshwater Cenote right behind the house, great for snorkeling as well, you can also swim and snorkel in the ocean right in front of Casa Cenote. Lots to do locally, if you want to travel some. Susie the owner is very responsive and answered any and all of my questions. The only thing that caught us off guard was the inability to flush TP because of the fragile septic system, although it was not as big of deal as we first thought it would be. Overall it was paradise, I highly recommend staying at Villa de Paz!! Thanks you Susie!!

Report: Mass. colleges slow to adopt new security measures
29 public colleges urged to take immediate action
Massachusetts public colleges and universities have been slow to adopt widely accepted security practices since last year's Virginia Tech massacre, in many cases failing to apply basic measures, according to a critical report that calls for sweeping changes across the state system to avert campus violence.
The report, compiled by a team of specialists and presented to the state Board of Higher Education yesterday, cited numerous safety deficiencies across the state system and urged the 29 public colleges to take immediate steps to rectify them.
Most state colleges do not use security cameras, have gun-carrying police officers, or train faculty and staff to recognize troubled students and employees, the report found. Only a handful have conducted vulnerability assessments, and one-third do not have arrangements with local law enforcement to respond to emergencies.
"Having a threat assessment team is an absolute no-brainer, and it could be done tomorrow," said Daniel O'Neill, an author of the report and president of Applied Risk Management, a security consultant. "That single recommendation would save the greatest amount of lives."
Since the Virginia Tech shootings, Massachusetts public colleges, as well as their private counterparts, have taken a hard look at emergency policies and in many cases made sweeping changes. All state schools now have mass notification systems that included e-mail, text-messaging, and Web alerts, and some have received training from the FBI for interpreting violent writings.
Still, the report said, colleges must take further steps to prepare for emergencies and to reach out to troubled students.
The 114-page study was undertaken after the Virginia Tech shootings April 2007, when a gunman who had exhibited a lengthy pattern of unstable and antisocial behavior killed 32 people. The study found that most schools lack formal procedures for handling students who seem capable of violence and do not submit writing with violent images to a forensic specialist for review.
Other authors of the report said formal, preventive policies would help colleges spot warning signs and resolve situations before they surface. The Virginia Tech gunman, Cho Seung-Hui, had raised concerns with his disturbing writings for a creative writing class.
Nearly all public colleges in Massachusetts reported a greater number of students with severe mental illness in recent years, but just over half provide specialized mental health services, the report found.
The study recommended that colleges train faculty, staff, and students to recognize signs of mental illness and expand campus mental health services. These steps would also help students with psychiatric problems who are not prone to violence, said the authors of the report.
The state Board of Higher Education praised the report and said it would press colleges to act quickly on the recommendations. Board member Nancy Harrington, former president of Salem State College, said she supported mandated statewide policies, adding that inaction is too risky.
"This is an enormously dangerous issue," she said. "It's like holding a firecracker and waiting for it to explode."
The authors of the report pointed out, however, that serious violence on campuses is extremely rare and that colleges must balance security interests with privacy rights and individual freedoms. There has been just one homicide since 2000 on a state public campus.

Its not a massive market the whole vegan food thing, but it could work under the whole health foods/allergy neutral cooking. I really wanna eat at Vegan Treats, her cakes look amazing! We need one here..maybe that can be your business plan! xo
Yeah I live in the valleys! :) They are mostly in london, more people that care/want to make a stand there. I havent heard of any down this way, maybe they have them in brizzle, but nothing down here, everyone seems to love meat here. I'm not vegan, I once was for many years (and the guilt is still there) but i still will never eat meat, wear leather or wool etc. I used to bake a lot of vegan chocolate cake for people, it sold well at shows. Do you have the mmm yummy cakes book!?
I wanna get the vegan cupcakes book, i heard it makes lovely stuff. xo
I dont live near you anymore love. I'm about 160 miles from Ldn..so a lot further from essex! But If im free and can get to london in the future Id be up for it.

The Associated Press: Medicaid Problems Hinge On Texas Doctor, Nurse Pay
The first question many doctors ask when new patients call for appointments is how they intend to pay. If the answer is Medicaid, the doctor can expect to lose money. The Texas Legislature has been balancing the state's budget by intentionally paying doctors 40 to 75 percent less for Medicaid patients than what private insurers pay for the same treatment (4/27).

"And the days that I keep my gratitude higher than my expectations, I have really good days."
- Ray Wylie Hubbard
"I want you to tell me about every person you've ever been in love with. Tell me why you loved them, then tell me why they loved you. Tell me about a day in your life you didn't think you'd live through. Tell me what the word "home" means to you and tell me in a way that I'll know your mother's name just by the way you describe your bed room when you were 8. See, I wanna know the first time you felt the weight of hate and if that day still trembles beneath your bones. Do you prefer to play in puddles of rain or bounce in the bellies of snow? And if you were to build a snowman, would you rip two branches from a tree to build your snowman arms? Or would you leave the snowman armless for the sake of being harmless to the tree? And if you would, would you notice how that tree weeps for you because your snowman has no arms to hug you every time you kiss him on the cheek? Do you kiss your friends on the cheek? Do you sleep beside them when they're sad, even if it makes your lover mad? Do you think that anger is a sincere emotion or just the timid motion of a fragile heart trying to beat away its pain? See, I wanna know what you think of your first name. And if you often lie awake at night and imagine your mother's joy when she spoke it for the very first time. I want you tell me all the ways you've been unkind. Tell me all the ways you've been cruel. See, I wanna know more than what you do for a living. I wanna know how much of your life you spend just giving. And if you love yourself enough to also receive sometimes. I wanna know if you bleed sometimes through other people's wounds."
- Andrea Gibson
"As they say, the jeweler knows the uncut jem. And I am. And she was. And so."

This morning as I walked along the lakeshore,
I fell in love with a wren
and later in the day with a mouse
the cat had dropped under the dining room table.
In the shadows of an autumn evening,
I fell for a seamstress
still at her machine in the tailor's window,
and later for a bowl of broth,
steam rising like smoke from a naval battle.
This is the best kind of love, I thought,
without recompense, without gifts,
or unkind words, without suspicion,
or silence on the telephone.
The love of the chestnut,
the jazz cap and one hand on the wheel.
No lust, no slam of the door –
the love of the miniature orange tree,
the clean white shirt, the hot evening shower,
the highway that cuts across Florida.
No waiting, no huffiness, or rancor –
just a twinge every now and then
for the wren who had built her nest
on a low branch overhanging the water
and for the dead mouse,
still dressed in its light brown suit.
But my heart is always propped up
in a field on its tripod,
ready for the next arrow.
After I carried the mouse by the tail
to a pile of leaves in the woods,
I found myself standing at the bathroom sink
gazing down affectionately at the soap,
so patient and soluble,
so at home in its pale green soap dish.
I could feel myself falling again
as I felt its turning in my wet hands
and caught the scent of lavender and stone.
- Billy Collins
Do all the other things, the ambitious things – travel, get rich, get famous, innovate, lead, fall in love, make and lose fortunes, swim naked in wild jungle rivers (after first having it tested for monkey poop) – but as you do, to the extent that you can, err in the direction of kindness. Do those things that incline you toward the big questions, and avoid the things that would reduce you and make you trivial. That luminous part of you that exists beyond personality – your soul, if you will – is as bright and shining as any that has ever been. Bright as Shakespeare's, bright as Gandhi's, bright as Mother Theresa's. Clear away everything that keeps you separate from this secret luminous place. Believe it exists, come to know it better, nurture it, share its fruits tirelessly.

Ice Choir
Somewhere, amongst abstract romantic lyricism and pointilized synthesizer pastiche, THE ICE CHOIR proposes to you, the listener, a most unfavorable "pop" experience: imaginative songcraft minus the cool factor. Leaning heavily on the crumbling pillars of 1980's technopop production aesthetic, this is music that is both distinctly modern in composition and cripplingly esoteric. Waylaying melodies to mislead and seduce. Sentiments both saccharine and surreal.
Formless constructs playing you out of THAT weird dream and into your cold reality.
Formless constructs playing you out of THAT weird dream and into your cold reality.
New Jersey / New York based project Limited plays a brand of dream pop that's heavy on the pop, albeit a highly mechanical version of it. It's a sound built on contrast: a juxtaposition of the mechanized, danceable grooves of the New Romantics and walls of noise-gaze guitar layers. On their debut single, Limited is NJ-native Alex Craig, who has also done time in Slumberland Records indie-pop act Big Troubles as well as the live incarnation of Ducktails, but has since expanded to a band which includes Ariel Zambenedetti and Eric Shaw. The "double A-sided" single, released on Matthew Mondanile's (Ducktails, Real Estate) New Images imprint, features "You Must Be Dreaming" b/w "New Day Rising": two pop anthems which shroud sequenced rhythms and bubblegum choruses in a thick sheet of warm static that runs through the whole thing. The "Hi-NRG" arrangements inject some welcome liveliness into an otherwise often sleepy genre. Meanwhile, the filter of static abstraction forces the listener to dig just a little deeper for the hooks, making them all the more rewarding.
