<a href="http://www.laccd.edu/" target="_blank">Los Angeles Community College District</a>
(LACCD) is providing all of its students, faculty, and staff with
accounts for cloud communication and collaboration tools using
Microsoft's Live@edu.<br />
....<br />
Live@edu accounts will also be unified across all nine LACCD
colleges, so students and faculty who study or teach at multiple
colleges will have a single account, simplifying inter-college
communications and eliminating the need for students and faculty to
juggle multiple e-mail accounts.<br />
<br />
Los Angeles Community College District serves more than 250,000
students each year. It is the largest community college district in the
United States, with nine colleges serving 36 cities in the greater Los
Angeles area.<br />Jacqui Cyrushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09513153494300198192noreply@blogger.com56tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22801435.post-5071860448302231512012-05-15T19:06:00.005+10:002012-05-15T19:06:52.331+10:00FREE College CoursesAs educators, we should be in the forefront of challenging and changing
paradigms, especially those that pertain to education. Our pedagogy is
being challenged right now as many schools are offering FREE online
classes — from art history, anthropology and literature to engineering,
biology, and math. Schools in the forefront include Johns Hopkins, MIT,
Harvard, U of Michigan, UC Berkeley, Carnegie Mellon, Columbia, Stanford
and Yale.<br />
<br />
Here is one link to the story of the changing paradigm for
teaching and learning. There are other links, but this one should get
you started viewing the fantastic opportunities that await our students — and, consequently, ourselves.<br />
<br />
NY Times<br />

<br />How should we as Guam educators prepare our students for this happening?
How should we begin to take advantage of these great FREE gifts?

There are lots of disappointed fans. See the official announcement below.<br /><br /><br /><br />From the website:<br />"<a href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2008/11/lively-no-more.html">Lively no more</a><h2 class="post-title"> </h2> <div class="date-header"> 11/19/2008 05:55:00 PM </div> In July we launched Lively in Google Labs because we wanted users to be able to interact with their friends and express themselves online in new ways. Google has always been supportive of this kind of experimentation because we believe it's the best way to create groundbreaking products that make a difference to people's lives. But we've also always accepted that when you take these kinds of risks not every bet is going to pay off.<br /><br />That's why, despite all the virtual high fives and creative rooms everyone has enjoyed in the last four and a half months, we've decided to shut Lively down at the end of the year. It has been a tough decision, but we want to ensure that we prioritize our resources and focus more on our core search, ads and apps business. <a href="http://www.lively.com/html/landing.html">Lively.com</a> will be discontinued at the end of December, and everyone who has worked on the project will then move on to other teams."Jacqui Cyrushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09513153494300198192noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22801435.post-38124346013389950212008-12-08T15:52:00.003+10:002008-12-08T16:12:30.705+10:00Tools For Educators<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhErJB4GB-p9oFagSewEM3yQmETx-KDxNKvgf90r7tHML3FofJX91uFQV9W4kePC3rEDTv2ObvoezWXI4NA04Qo5N4cnPOWpf1qbvXiNzjAsIDyKZDGJtjA3k1jzQaIC_uQfip2RA/s1600-h/Tools+For+Educators.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 68px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhErJB4GB-p9oFagSewEM3yQmETx-KDxNKvgf90r7tHML3FofJX91uFQV9W4kePC3rEDTv2ObvoezWXI4NA04Qo5N4cnPOWpf1qbvXiNzjAsIDyKZDGJtjA3k1jzQaIC_uQfip2RA/s320/Tools+For+Educators.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277294880554078994" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />This site is a bonanza for P-12 classroom teachers and classroom resource teachers.

It can be reached at www.lively.com but is officially part of Google Labs, an area of the company’s site where it showcases projects that remain in the beta, or experimental, phase. As a part of Google Groups, Lively tries to make conversation three-dimensional, more interactive, and more fun.<br /><br />Google Groups is all about helping users connect with people, access information, and communicate effectively over email and on the web. Now there's a new version on the block. With 'Lively', you can chat and interact with your friends in rooms you design.<br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/5YbwfOucET8&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/5YbwfOucET8&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br />Up to 20 people can occupy a room and chat with one another. (Text appears as cartoon-style bubbles atop the avatars.) Users can design their own virtual environments, hanging on the walls videos from YouTube and photos from Picasa, Google’s photo service, as if they were pieces of art.<br /><br /><br />With a GMAIL account, you can log in and sign up.
