Rhett Allain kills me. Here you have him writing several hundreds words (with LaTeXing and diagrams) taking down the dubious physics of Ruff Ruffman, animated host of the children’s show FETCH! with Ruff Ruffman:
Ruff, if this is indeed the definition you used – I am not sure if it fits in this case. Maybe you meant momentum, although I think that is not quite right either. How about I solve this problem?
This is why God made blogs.
Gary Ball, edtechnophile:
I want to be a Yes Man. I want to be a Lets Find a Way Man. I want my job to be finding ways to say yes to educators requests. Educator: “Can I do/have (insert random skill/technology/tool)?” Me: “Heck ya – that sounds awesome. I am not sure how but lets find a way!”
Mark Weston, Dell’s educational strategist:
Asking the question, “Does technology improve student learning?” is the wrong question. The question should be, “Does technology support the practices that improve student learning?”
Vice Magazine is an odd home for this photo set documenting the decay in certain corners of the Detroit Public School System, but it’s grim, essential stuff no matter who was behind the camera:
BTW: Jen notes that these photos were taken originally by a husband-and-wife team in Detroit who go by the name Sweet Juniper. They document Detroit’s decay wherever they find it, within the public school system and without. Nice find, Jen.

BTW: Give it up for Megan:
1) How many videos can YouTube hold before running out of space in the identifier? Did they plan well? Are they going to run out of space? How fast are videos being added? Do videos ever go away and free up these strings?
2) Are those โv=โ strings case-sensitive? How does that change the total possible combinations?
3) What characters does Youtube use in the โv=โ string? How does adding one allowed character change the total possible combinations?
