Computers and electronic technology are in the classrooms for good. Many schools have 1 to 1 initiatives that put a computing device into the hands of each student. This graphic is a challenge for teachers to move beyond the obvious and traditional uses of computers (browsing, clicking, chatting, and gaming) to inventing, designing, creating, building, sharing. Inspired by a Mitch Resnick Lifelong Kindergarten video. www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7rlLml5ReQ
We don't just browse, click, chat, game, we invent, we design, we create, we build, we share.

Sorry this was uploaded late, I had to get up early to go on this college fieldtrip to UC Davis & UC Berkley. Was kinda fun. :D

1. At school I had an intense hatred for computers... All they ever did was crash or give me ominous warnings about the consequences of pressing even 1 more key! I’d do the same thing as my neighbour; theirs would be fine but mine would start sputtering angry messages at me. Luckily, I'm now competent and happy using them, apart from when I want to throw them out the window!
2. A lesson I enjoyed much more was Latin. I had the now unusual opportunity to study it to GCSE level. We did a 4 yr course in 2 yrs, even though it was tough sometimes, I'm always pleased I'd taken it, as it was so fascinating...
3.I don’t like heights. Well, I do like heights when viewed safely behind glass, metal or bricks. I’m perfectly happy in tall buildings, cable cars and planes... What I don’t like are heights where you have to rely on yourself to keep from falling. Like cliffs. My feet find it hard enough keeping me upright on a flat surface, never mind trusting them on a rocky cliff edge.
4.I’ve said I like reading before, so here are some of my favourite books/authors: Bill Bryson’s books, the Harry Potter series (admit it, we’d all like to learn magic rather than maths at school). “The Hitch-Hikers Guide to the Galaxy”, “Chronicles of Ancient Darkness” (about a boy who can talk to wolves – awesome!), “Merle’s Door”, “Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee”, “Falling Leaves”, “Never Cry Wolf” & “Lord of the Rings” are great! I love Austen, the Bronte’s and Dickens too.
5.When I buy books, I usually prefer looking in second hand book shops. I love the old book smell & you never know what you’re going to find hidden away in a dusty corner! I can happily spent hrs in an old book shop :)
6.I’m not very adventurous when it comes to food. It took me yrs to discover curry can be tasty and stir fries really aren’t frightening. As I’ve said before, I’m a veggie and have been my entire life. People always ask if I “miss” eating meat but honestly as I’ve never tried it; it never bothers me in the slightest. I’ll stick to “Quorn” :)
7. Talking of Quorn... (A meat substitute made from fungi, if you're wondering!). Before the development of "Quorn" scientists had gone all over the world looking for fungi or plants to create a new product for veggies and found nothing suitable... Then, eventually (presumably in desperation!) they collected a sample of a fungus growing happily on top of some goal posts next to their company building and discovered it was just perfect!! You’d think knowing Quorn comes from something found on a goal post would put me off eating it but strangely, it hasn’t!!
8.That last one wasn’t really a fact about me was it? I’m one of those easily distracted people who tend to suddenly veer completely off topic during conversations. Many times I’ve watched people's faces go blank in utter bemusement at a seemingly out of the blue comment, although of course, it always made sense in my head! If I ever do that when commenting on your photos, I’m sorry!!
9. I love drawing and have stacks and stacks of sketch books at home, most with barely any drawings in them. I am always getting new sketch pads & returning home to see half a dozen more tossed around my bedroom! It's really bad, I just can’t resist books full of blank, white paper...
10.I hate the taste of coffee but like the smell of it. I’m not quite sure why anyone would want to know that but there you go... Frankly I’m struggling to think of yet another 10 facts about me, hence the digression into the production of meat substitutes and my dislike of coffee ;-)
I'm very impressed with anyone who reads all that :) I know you're meant to Tag 10 more people when you've played this game but well, most have been tagged already and I'll be away anyway so would no doubt miss reading what people say!! My last upload till after I get back from holiday... Catch up with everyone when I get back :)

Butterflies use their antennae to sense the air for wind and scents. The antennae have clubbed-tips. The sensory receptors are concentrated in the tips and can detect odor's.
Taste receptors are located on the palps and on the feet. Adult butterflies consume only liquids, ingested through the proboscis as they sip water and feed on nectar from flower. The proboscis is elongated and tubular expands when needed to feed and curls up at rest.
Butterflies are brightly colored flying insects with four wings that vary in color and pattern according to species, the wings are covered with tiny overlapping rows of scales.
Butterflies in their adult stage can live from a week to nearly a year depending on the species.
Butterflies are important as pollinators, although in general they do not carry as much pollen as bees. They are however capable of moving pollen over greater distances.
Butterflies are widely used as objects of art in jewelry, artwork, furnishings and photographic art. A famous illustration was in Alice in Wonderland, the caterpillar seated on a toadstool and is smoking a hookah.
Hope you enjoy!

I wonder if people just get used to giant wind turbines everywhere they look. I don't think the cows mind.
Using a villain's shield requires a significantly different torso, and the rock theme doesn't work all that well on a mech, but I think this is still interesting enough to share.

Using a wide slatted Venetian blind with a FalconEyes CLL-1600-TDX LED spotlight to generate some hard light and so, some crisp shadows. It's a different effect than using a projection system like the Lightblaster with a genuine set of shadows from the light source: ie it's closer than say, the sun or moon, so the angles and thickness of the stripes changes over the image. If you want to simulate sunlight or moon light through the blinds (where the stripes would be parallel for all practical purposes), then you need a projector - or you just get lucky and the sun/moon is out and shining in the right direction.

I used to not care much about these flowers everyone calls weeds and pulls from their lawns, but seeing them blossom so beautifully this year has really changed my mind about them.. They're gorgeous little flowers, and the bright yellow and green color scheme just screams SPRING!! after the long, cold winter. I really found it hard to choose just one to post. Here are your winners, and their little sibling not yet bloomed below.

Hi all my friends, as many of you asked me to write information about hedgehogs, here is a brief:
Hedgehogs live any where in the gardens or woods, their favorite places to dig their holes are under a big mass of broken woods or old autumn leaves, they get out only at night, they don’t get out at day light very much, the old ones of them because they are more careful and know more about the dangers out at the day, but the babies are some kind stupid that they always get out at the day light so they can be picked up by a crazy girl - like me - to take photos for them :D
They don’t bite, they are so calm and tender, they just try to run away and hid, and when they feel danger or are picked up, they “roll” themselves inside, the babies don’t prick a lot so you can hold them, but the old ones…. yes they prick soooo much :D but you can hold them too with more carefulness.
They can beget 5 or 6 babies at a time (some how like rabbits), when they are just born, they do not have any single spine, they have a very soft pink skin, they grow up to become about the size of a football.
They eat almost every thing, bugs, plants, old leaves, rice or seeds, fruits…
Some people raise them as pets at home, but ours are just living in our garden, the story is this: few years ago, my father found the first small one was crossing the road with all the cars there, so he picked him up to save him from crashing under the cars and put him in our garden, a little while after that he found another one, for our so wonderful luck, they were male and female :D and they’ve got all the little cute ones you saw in my picture.
Hope you enjoyed that, and for more detailed information, see wikipedia:

Best regards.
I use each one of these drawers for a different type of doll. Francie is on the bottom, Mod Barbie clothes in the middle and vintage on top. I have other drawers for for additional Mod clothes. I also use the cases for handmade and Mommy made clothes. I am always tweaking my system because I have alot of stuff!

Using my 4x5 close to "El valle de Irati". This was taken at 8:30 or so, the sun was just starting to come out.
Used my MagMod "Grid" flash modifier. It focuses the flash to the center so it is more of a spotlight.

I used to paint watercolors years ago and have since traded in my paints and brush for a camera! I may paint again someday. This is one of my last watercolors I did.
We use the word peacock to refer to the entire species, but the correct name for the pheasant is peafowl. Peafowl are native to India, Southeast Asia and Central Africa -- not the U.S., although there is a large, growing population in Florida. All it takes is for a few birds to escape captivity, and they will quickly breed and multiply.
Peacocks are the colorful male peafowl. They have iridescent blue and green tail feathers, with blue, green, red and gold "eye" markings that drag behind them as they walk in a colorful "train." The tail is arched into a large, round fan during a mating ritual or courtship display. Females are called peahens, and they're typically muted brown or green.
I found this one walking around at Gatorland in Orlando, Florida.
Using the Dragoon core legs and torso mount, this heavy, short-to-mid-range beast is heavily armored and hits like a space freighter, but is effectively blind without sensory instruments and it moves slowly.

bookshelf in the Auberge du Vieux village, built by a Sorbonne professor; I wonder if these were part of his personal collection. Some have the price on the spine, an interesting range. I presume the 100frs is 100 old francs, pre-1960 when the two zeros were removed.

O Teatro Colón (em português Teatro Colombo) é a mais importante sala de espetáculos de Buenos Aires, Argentina. Inaugurado em 25 de maio de 1908, é um dos teatros de ópera mais famosos do mundo, desenhado por Francesco Tamburini e Víctor Meano.
Com capacidade para 3000 pessoas e em um entorno de estilo eclético, mescla do neo-renascentismo italiano e do barroco francês, o desenho do teatro apresenta uma rica decoração em dourado e escarlate. A cúpula mostra figuras pintadas pelo reconhecido artista contemporâneo Raúl Soldi.
Ao longo de sua história o Teatro Colón tem abrigado grandes personagens como Arturo Toscanini, Jane Bathori, Enrico Caruso, Maria Callas, Plácido Domingo, Luciano Pavarotti e Astor Piazzolla.
Também é um habitual cenário de espectáculos de balé e, ocasionalmente, de atos oficiais e privados e de música popular. Seu status artístico está arraigado de tal forma no imaginário coletivo argentino que se saúda ao grito de ¡Al Colón! aos triunfadores das mais diversas expressões culturais.
Desde novembro de 1989 o teatro é um dos monumentos históricos nacionais.
Dada a precária situação econômica argentina, nos últimos anos o Teatro tem vivido momentos de dificuldade, sendo atacado por alguns setores que tem posto em questão o financiamento estatal de seu elevado custo. Atualmente, em 2006, está passando por uma remodelação integral da sala, pelo qual sua atividade será limitada e fechará suas portas até 25 de maio de 2008 quando reabrirá para o Centenário de sua inauguração.

The Teatro Colón (Spanish) (Columbus Theatre) is the main opera house in Buenos Aires, Argentina, acousticly considered to be amongst the five best concert venues in the world.
The present Colón replaced an original theatre which opened in 1857. Towards the end of the century it became clear that a new theatre was needed and, after a 20-year process, the present theatre opened on May 25, 1908, with Giuseppe Verdi's Aïda.
The Teatro Colón was visited by the foremost singers and opera companies of the time, who would sometimes go on to other cities including Montevideo, Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo.
After this period of huge international success, the theatre's decline became clear and plans were made for massive renovations. After an initial start of works to restore the landmark in 2005, the theatre was closed for refurbishment from October 2006 to May 2010. It re-opened on May 24, 2010, with a program for the 2010 season.

你 躺在柔软的床上 仰望夜空
每次发现 都发现是一场梦境
你的余温留在此地 飘着柔香
我的手指从你发间划过
安静的看着你 感受着你留在我嘴边的甜蜜
那一丝温柔只有你体验的到...
