Today is “Steve Jobs” Day. Around the world, people are dressing like Steve Jobs and submitting their photos in honor of this creative icon, or writing about him on FB or Twitter.

Check it out here:

And then honor Steve Jobs yourself by posting on any social network–Twitter, Facebook, etc. You can use the tag #stevejobsday.

As we are rolling out iPads to our campus this year, it is sad to find out the visionary behind them is now gone.

On his blog, Seth Godin asks a great question–Please read it.  http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2011/10/a-eulogy-of-action.html

What will YOU do with the powerful devices he has created?  What will YOU make?

Here is an AWESOME list of copyright free or Creative commons photos that you can use for projects.  One of my favs is compfight.com.

These are photos that photographers have freely contributed and given you permission to share (unlike images that you might find on Google images).

Creative Commons?  What is that anyway?  It’s a cool idea–you take a photograph, write a song lyric, draw something, and you give “permission” for others to reuse it, revamp it, and share it.  You can go to the Creative Commons website to get a little symbol to put with your work to show the permission you want to give.   Then become part of a cool community of sharing–what the “internets” are all about!

For banned books week this year, you are invited to a nationwide “Read-Out”!
