How Formatically Helps Students Format Essays in MLA Style
// Free Technology for Teachers

A couple of weeks ago I shared a new tool designed by college students to help other students properly format essays in MLA format. That tool is called Formatically. I've had a few people send me questions about how it works. It essentially gives students a template in Word format that they can then use to write their essays in. In the following short video I demonstrate how to use Formatically.

Magical new color-mixing pen may break world record for most colors in a pen
// The Verge



Prototypes of real-life eyedropper tools already exist (like the Spector, which can identify fonts and colors), and the Cronzy pen is no different when it comes to detecting colors. But what makes Cronzy special is that it contains ink cartridges that let you actually draw these colors you've scanned. Cronzy claims that it can scan and draw 16 million colors, collecting "all the existing colors and shades of the world!" The only way we can put these bold claims to the test is if we count out each one (coming soon to a 23-day Facebook live video near you).

Check out this gif from the promotional video, which demonstrates how the pen would work:



You can also use the app on iOS, Android, and Windows phone to choose a color:

 OfficeMax

At first glance, the concept for the Cronzy pen seems wildly disputable. This video of a prototype, which uses an algorithm and solenoid valves for mixing CMYKW colors, has won me over though:



It's unclear whether the colors are mixed on the fly as the colors are chosen and you write. A lot of things are unclear at this stage! Cronzy has two months left to reach its goal of $200,000 on Indiegogo, and I'm crossing my fingers that it does, so I can take a better look at it. Until it becomes a reality though, we still have these sweet retro pens to tide us over:

Public educators to teach tots about trannys [feedly]

Public educators to teach tots about trannys
// Personal Liberty Digest™

New public education standards that could make their way to your state would require kindergarten teachers to tell children their gender has no basis in biology.

By fall 2017, educators in Washington state public schools will be at the forefront of efforts to further the transgender agenda by incorporating sexual health as a "core idea" in K-12 education.

The state's Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) finalized instructional guidelines for the ongoing sexual education instruction in March.

According to reports, sexual health themes taught to the state's youngest schoolchildren will focus mainly on "Healthy Relationships" and helping children to "Recognize people have the right to refuse giving or receiving unwanted touch."

Giving children the tools to recognize differences between "safe and unwanted touch" actually doesn't sound so nefarious at first— even if it is a topic better left to parents. But as the Daily Caller pointed out, OSPI hasn't actually said whether its goal is solely to help children identify red flags of molestation or if the lesson plans amount "to teaching consent to kindergarteners." There's a difference.

And the way things are going these days, nothing would be surprising.

Once children in the state make it to third grade, education officials want them to dive headlong into "self-identity" with regard to sex.

Reports indicate that the youngsters will be expected to believe that "gender roles can vary considerably" and that it's perfectly normal for boys to want to be girls and vice versa.

By fourth grade, they'll learn that family values and regional cultural norms aren't important and how to ignore "social expectations about how people should act, think, or feel based on their assigned biological sex."

A year later, the students will discuss how "media, society, and culture can influence ideas regarding gender roles, identity, and expression." In addition, the 10 and 11-year-olds will be instructed to develop a network of "trusted adults to ask questions about gender identity and sexual orientation."

Washington isn't alone in its triumphant march toward all-out gender confusion through understanding.

Consider this report from Sea Coast Online in Kittery, Maine, earlier this year:

Mitchell Primary School officials have drawn criticism from some parents after a children's book about a transgender child was read to most of the school's students.

During a lesson on tolerance and acceptance implemented by the guidance department, the book "I Am Jazz" by Jessica Herthel and Jazz Jennings was read to 20 of 22 classes in the Grades K-3 school. The story is about a young child "with a boy's body but a girl's brain," who goes through a childhood struggle of identifying with her true self until she and her family speak with a new doctor and come to understand the child is transgender.

And educators in Fairfax, Virginia, recently announced that children in grades 7 through 12 will soon begin receiving lessons in "gender fluidity."

More ways for schools & organizations to manage YouTube Posted: 26 Apr 2016 12:27 PM PDT Posted by Matt Ward, Software Engineer (Cross-posted on Google for Education blog)  In August 2015 we launched YouTube Settings in Google Apps to give schools and other organizations a way to manage the YouTube experience for users logged in to their domains and on networks they manage. Today we're happy to announce a number of new features to make these more flexible and easier to use. Channel whitelisting Administrators and designated approvers can now whitelist entire channels, not just individual videos. For example, if you want to ensure that all current and future videos uploaded to your organization or school's channel are watchable by your users, you can now simply add the entire channel to your approved list. Learn how to designate approvers. Using YouTube settings in Google Apps for Education already gives your users access to all the videos on educational YouTube channels like Veritasium, but now your domain's video approvers can add other channels as well, like your school's YouTube channel. More flexible options for administrators Administrators have new capabilities to help them manage YouTube to meet the needs of their organization. Administrators can now choose between two levels of Restricted Mode restrictions -- strict or moderate -- for their logged-in users.  Admins can select between a strict and moderate level of restriction for YouTube.  Network managers can now use an HTTP header to enforce either strict or moderate restricted mode on managed devices.  Network managers can also use this new DNS configuration if they want to enforce moderate restricted mode on wifi networks they manage. Coming soon, logged-out users on YouTube's mobile apps on restricted networks will also get a restricted experience.  And since we know this can be tricky to set up, network managers can visit this page to ensure their network restrictions have been configured correctly.  YouTube for Schools In August we announced that we would no longer be maintaining YouTube for Schools (YT4S). As of July 1, 2016, YT4S will no longer be available. View the YouTube Settings in Google Apps Help Center for additional details. More information Learn how to enable YouTube settings for your Google Apps domain and join the discussion in the product forum. Launch Details Release track: Launching to both Rapid release and Scheduled release Rollout pace:  Full rollout (1-3 days for feature visibility) Impact:  Admins only Action: Admin action suggested/FYI Note: all launches are applicable to all Google Apps editions unless otherwise noted Launch release calendar Launch detail categories Get these product update alerts by email Subscribe to the RSS feed of these updates
