This website is about pictures that DO NOT make sense! I love images that don’t make sense and YOU SHOULD TOO! Can you even understand how awesome it is when you see a yeti serving in the armed forces? Can you grasp the concept of someone creating SCIENCE in a field of daisies on a beautiful summer day? I totally can, and that’s why I started Picture is Unrelated. Some people are pessimists, some are optimists, and others (like Yours Truly) are WTFists. We strive to find the strange moments of human life captured in photographic form and showcase them on our site as a testament to the absurdity of life. I love looking at strange, humorous, odd, and funny pictures that make absolutely no sense. I hope you will too…

We are all shaped by the things that someone once told us. The words we hear impact on us, whether we want them to or not, and it’s undeniable that they have a power. Someone Once Told Me is essentially a means for me to practise my photography and to give me something to do on my days off as I wander around London, which always feels full of possibilities. But SOTM is also an attempt to gather and chronicle some of the things that people have heard in their lives, the messages and expressions that have stuck in people's head, for reasons both obvious and odd. someone once told me extras 6 What SOTM actually means is that people are asked, sometimes by appointment and sometimes randomly, to hold up a large piece of paper, upon which they write something that someone once told them. Or emailed. Or texted. Basically something that’s been communicated to them. But told, preferably.

(Online, Mar 27, 2009) Join Alan Levine and Rachel Smith of the New Media Consortium along with Cyprien Lomas, Bert Kimura and Curtis Ho, Teaching Colleges and Community conference coordinators in a special, free, 90-minute, open discussion to talk about the recently released 2009 Horizon Report, jointly released in January 2009 by the NMC and EDUCAUSE. In this session, we will summarize the project's process, use of open source and web 2.0 tools, and engage in a discussion of the topics in the 2009 Horizon Report and how the information is used. You will learn how you can participate and contribute to the effort. And we will provide updates on our other related projects, including the Australia-New Zealand edition, published in December 2008 and the newest, a K-12 Horizon Report to be released in early March, as well as ongoing efforts to translate the work into other languages.

Children will no longer have to study the Victorians or the second world war under proposals to overhaul the primary school curriculum, the Guardian has learned. However, the draft plans will require children to master Twitter and Wikipedia and give teachers far more freedom to decide what youngsters should be concentrating on in classes. The proposed curriculum, which would mark the biggest change to primary schooling in a decade, strips away hundreds of specifications about the scientific, geographical and historical knowledge pupils must accumulate before they are 11 to allow schools greater flexibility in what they teach.

This space is intended to introduce you to the work that we did from January 2008 to March 2009. At its heart, the Open Habitat project set out to explore how Multi User Virtual Environments (MUVEs) can be used in Higher Education. We collected an enormous amount of data working with art and design, and philosophy students. The data was collected from different sources, including surveys, blogposts and chatlogs, and the website reflects this diversity. The buttons above allow you to access some of the key outputs. To the right, the site has been organized into three sections relating to three areas of activity: teaching and learning, researching, and managing. If you are looking for a neat collation of our findings and experiences then download a copy of the Open Habitat magazine.
