Working with PaperShow for Teachers in the Classroom

This past week I have had a chance to work with several teachers showing them how they can use PaperShow for Teachers in the classroom to support their special education students in the classroom. While the first couple of minutes of the sessions were demonstrating the mechanical aspect of how to use PaperShow for Teachers we did get a chance to come up with some great ways to use it in the classroom. Many of the teachers enjoyed being able to to walk around the room when talking to their students while using PaperShow for Teachers as they put up ideas on the board. The students were totally amazed by the technology and all of them enjoyed writing on the PaperShow Notebook and watching their ideas come to life. The two special education teachers that I worked with used PaperShow for Teachers to brainstorm ideas as a pre-writing activity which really provided the students with the support they needed. Another teacher drew a a graphic organizer using the circle and line tools with PaperShow for Teachers and had the students fill in some of the idea bubbles. After the session was over both teachers talked to me about all the possible way they could use PaperShow for Teachers in the inclusion classroom to support students with learning differences. Both special education teachers were really excited with all of the possibilities and how it could be used with students to scaffold their learning.

WB Extends Option, Card Working On Brand New Script

Orson Scott Card posted on Hatrack about the latest on the Ender's Game Movie:

The option with Warner Bros. was due to expire on 7 December. There was no filmable script - though in fairness to the writers so far, they may well have been following faithfully all that they were actually asked to do - EG is simply a very hard story to put in script form.

At the last minute, a committed Warner exec met with me and we worked out some key decisions. Warner is still strongly committed to making Ender's Game into a great movie, and we agreed to another year or so of option, starting with a new script written by me (a page-one rewrite not based on any previous script, including mine). Guess how I'll be spending my Christmas vacation.

This is very promising, I think. As far as I know, all other elements of the team remain together. I will be working closely with Chartoff Productions (whom I've been working with on this for ten years now) and with the Warner executive to get this script right - emotional, truthful, the kind of film that even people who think they hate sci-fi and war films will like.

It will be faithful to the story, within the limitations of a two-hour form factor. Stuff has to be left out. But what's THERE will be true to the story in the books, even if it isn't word-for-word or point-for-point the same.

ESET Smart Security v5 RC - Web Access Protection Not Working

The news is encouraging for me and you who love this ESET antivirus products. A few weeks ago (probably a month), ESET released ESET Smart Security v5 RC (Realease Candidate). I immediately tried to download the antivirus and install it on the Asus EeePC netbook 1015PEM mine. After I installed the antivirus, I see how it looks a bit interesting and better than ever. But I do not like the initial image that appears at start up, because the picture is less good and stiff, not smooth as in the fourth version.

In addition, when I want to update the antivirus. Antivirus update of 30 mega bytes more virus database. I think this may only occur at the beginning, because the virus database is still not up to date when newly installed. But the next day I update again, but why is the update is always a big? I got confused, but I still think it was fine.

A few weeks later, about two weeks I use ESET Smart Security v5 RC. I'm having an error in the web access protection, before this is absolutely not happened. I took this for granted, because there may be errors that occur at start up. Then I tried to restart my netbook, but the web access protection is still not want to walk. I wonder what happened to ESET Smart Security v5 this RC? I got confused and just looked at it as a matter of course because the antivirus is still included Realease Candidate, or practically still in the testing phase.

Before the web access protection disabled, I always look for the username and password with NOD32 key finder. Because the web access protection is always blocking proxy access, so I tried to disable the web access protection. However I did this two days before the web access protection is ultimately unviable. In addition, the antivirus is still a lot keurangan them every so often to make a windows system error, I suspect a virus that enters into my netbook and it found several infected registry files of windows that cause errors and crash. Okay, just a few responses I have about this antivirus, I recommend to wait for the antivirus is really perfect in its development.
