social learning has come to … cars!

saw this post on engadget discussing the ability of Nissan Leaf to compare drivers’ performance in terms of energy efficiency. looks like the competition in schools’ been extended? 😛 i expect other carmakers to follow suit soon. and we’ll probably see facebook integration soon for the total social experience (:

deADlicious, another service entering history

saw this piece of news in a tweet, del.icio.us, a social bookmarking site will be closed down. most likely not profit/revenue generating for yahoo? 😛

edudemic.com has provided 5 alternatives in their posting for exploration while saying bye-bye to my acct. i wonder how many of our teachers have been using this service *hmm*

eVideo – My foreigner neighbour

it’s been a while since i last visited eMedia, and am glad i did, cos i chanced upon this:

the video has four parts. viewing it, you can learn about food (民以食为天!), culture, values and beliefs of the Thai 泰, Burmese 缅, Japanese 日, and Filipino 菲. Chinese subtitles’ included for this video as this is a resource for use by P5 CL teachers (:

avoid connecting to …

open wireless network (e.g. Wireless@SG) and try to use secure encrypted channel whenever possible (e.g. Wireless@SGx) cos your login sessions to sites that used cookies and not on https:// (e.g. Facebook) can be hijacked with ease. saw this discussion on-going on /. , and the tool is freely available! just grab Firesheep, a Firefox extension, and anyone is good to go. impressive huh?

oh btw, the suggestion to use “Free” as password for encrypted but FREE networks is a good idea i though (:
