"great views"
overall yet another good stay here. executive rooms not quite worth the extra money, more so if you manage to book standard rooms on higher floors. 'free' bar 6pm to 8pm only has limited offering and canapes pretty poor bearing in mind that you are paying for themGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Not good enough for the cost"
I booked the hotel on the strength of the Hilton Hotel name and didn't mind paying a premium for the experience. However my money could have been better spent. In all honesty it was only a combination of small things but they added up. Some of the problems were:There was an interlocking door which we could hear every word our neighbours were says, the […] room wasn't as clean as it should have been, No spoons with the tea set, no free wifi. we couldn't get anyone to book the restaurant with as the phone just rang out. no soap in the bathroom, tiny shower gel bottles. I found the staff to be very pleasant and the location of the hotel was very convenient, Manchester itself to be very good Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Hilton stay"
I recently stayed at the Hilton and didn't enjoy my stay at all the room was lovely but the staff weren't very helpful room service was slow you pay for the name defo not value for moneyGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nice hotel shame we got charged twice"
This was book as a surprise for my 30th birthday as we are regular visitor to manchester and have always wanted to stay in the hotel On check in to hotel reception seem nice and polite and helpfully wife had book through Expedia and room rate was £139 and we where charged £159 this is where the fun starts. Once we got to room Wife checked the paper […] work and then spoke to reception staff and said that they take a £20 charge for any extras you use during your stay this was not explained by reception staff.They said they had upgraded our room and that they would have a complimentary bottle of wine on arrival. On entering our room the view was amazing overlooking manchester city centre. Their was no complimentary bottle of wine instead we got a birthday plate (never heard of that before) 3 hours later.We had an excellent night sleep And room was comfortable. When it came to check out reception staff said we had 2 charges to our room £139 and £159 I said the room rate was the £139 and we where charged £159 on arrival they said they would refund this amount I give them 5 days and still no refund so called the hotel to see what was happening and they said they did not know why we had been charged twice and asked for copy of bank statement this was emailed the same day and got no response back after two more emails still no response had to call again and spoke to accounts manger and he has assured me this matter will be delt with but as of yet still waiting for refund.

"Big chain but attentive service"
Stayed two nights for special birthday. Staff could not be more helpful especially the concierge who made the stay special. Pool on the small side and health club facilities already looking a little tired but more than made up for by great staff. Would come back.Genuine Expedia guest review
EXCELANT ... WILL DEFINATELY STAY AGAIN ..Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"A few little things"
Although I marked it as a 4 it doesn't really show the true picture, don't get me wrong it's an excellent hotel but… There a just a couple of thing you would expect of a hotel of this class, the room was lovely when you walk into the room there is a bottle of water on the table which is a nice touch until you realise it has a tag on it with the price, […] WiFi was quite expensive, there was only 1 very small bottle of shower gel between 2 of us (yes, I know you can ring for more but don't want the hassle) at breakfast my wife as for coffee, she was present with a cup of boing water and a sachet of Kenco. I know all these are petty but It just degrades from the experience of saying there. Tip: if you want to go in the Cloud 23 Bar on the top floor you have book your visit in advance and don't' ware trainers like I did, Ooops. Don't think I'd stay there again but maybe I've been spoilt in the past Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great value for money."
Great value for money for b&b. Visited Cloud 23 bar which was great. Had dinner in the restaurant which was fine but we felt the menu was a little lacking. Breakfast was great, staff were fantastic. The hotel lives up to the brand but the restaurant could be improved. We will definitely return!Genuine Expedia guest review
"Fabulous hotel in city centre"
Wonderful stay in the Hilton hotel, the staff were so friendly and helpful. Room was very clean and comfortable and the food was fantastic. Would recommend to anyone and will definitely be staying there again. Thankyou for a great weekend.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Becoming Tired"
Stated on the 19th floor in an executive room. I have stayed once before 3 years ago. On entry into the lobby there were no signs of deterioration but the waiting area for the lift was dimly lit and looked tired. Lift was swift. Room was as you would expect, in terms of cleanliness and tidiness. The plug in the sink could not pop up and so we had to […] call for that to be repaired - they just levered the plug up and left it by the sink. The bathroom has signs of its age-the back of the wooden door was swollen and discoloured, general joints were becoming discoloured. The lighting was poor for my wife's makeup duties in the bedroom and the mirror for this was particularly small. Bed and pillows were very comfortable, but I don't understand why they would supply slippers and no robes. The exec lounge on 23rd floor with free canapés and alcohol between 6 and 8 had been refurbished and was very popular and pleasant. Breakfast was again a step down from my previous visit, most of the hot buffet breakfast was dried up, and I was not offered an alternative menu to choose something like a poached egg or omelette although I did see the odd one appear. my wooden table was chipped as was the one next to me. These kinds of things should not be seen. We chose the Hilton for its location close to Akbars Indian. Next time I will choose another Hotel. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Cool looking Hotel"
Hotel looks great and stands out, the rooms were a really good size and well equipped. Bathroom was also of a high standard. Would recommend, just a shame that hotel guests have to queue for Cloud 23.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great Stay"
Great stay lovely hotel but very expensive and should if staying be preferred fast track to Sky bar but would come back lovely staffGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"poor breakfast"
the whole breakfast experience was average at best, cold food poor quality produce and uninterested staff. The rest of our stay was fine.Stayed at Marriott Worsley Park recently great breakfast high quality produce and attentive staff. Lesson to be learnedGenuine Hotels.com guest review
The service at the desk was good and very friendly. Room was immaculate and had a great view of the city. Only thing we weren't that impressed with was the need to queue up for entry to Cloud 23 bar. Would have thought that as a paying guest, it would have given you the privilege to jump the queue, than having to queue up like everyone else that walks […] in from the street. Would stay there again though, as thought the staff at reception were very polite and friendly. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"A night away"
The hotel was really nice and comfortable,all the usual mod cons you would expect. my only gripe is I expect the quality of the breakfast to be a lot better for a four star hotel. other than that a great experience.Genuine Expedia guest review
"absolutely perfect"
Cannot fault the staff, everybody professional and courteous. Breakfast slightly on the expencive side at £36 for 2 but it was very nice. Cloud 23 bar well worth the queGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Is it really worth it?"
Manchester is not a particular featureful skyline. The view isn't worth it. It's a nice hotel with very helpful reception staff. Steer clear of Cloud 23. Extremely disappointing. Also for the price, I expect free wi-fi. Instead I was charged way over the odds for 24 hours. I got the room on a discount, but there are better hotels in Manchester for a […] fraction of the cost here. Pleasant staff, comfy room and a pool facility are all pluses, but the minuses let this down. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"We will be back!"
We loved this hotel , nothing at all to complain about. We will definitely return . The staff were very friendly and helpful . Our room was excellent and the breakfast was great!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Lovely hotel"
We stayed as we were going to the MEN arena for an event. Nice walk to the venue. We had read ahead and pre booked the Cloud 23 bar after the show, it was amazing and were so glad we had booked as the queue was very long! A bit disappointed as there were no biscuits in the room on the tea tray - not sure if they were meant to be there or not other than […] that had a lovely stay. Staff were nice and friendly. Breakfast was a bit overpriced so we decided not to bother. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Should have been better!"
I stayed here on the 22nd of March. Upon arrival (3pm) I was told no rooms were ready and would not be for some time. I finally got my room key at 5pm!. When I asked about access to the cocktail bar on the top floor of the hotel I was told this was booked out for a private party. As this was one of the main reasons for my stay I was hugely disappointed […] and would have expected the hotel to advise potential guests that part of the hotel was closed prior to arriving. Overall the hotel is very nice, in a good location and I have stayed here before with no problems at all - I would also have expected some level of compensation for the late check-in and the fact the cocktail bar wasn't available - something other hotels of this quality have no problem with. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Let down"
Hotel is in a great location and great first impressions but I was left feeling let down by the price in relation to value for money Attention to detail and those little things let it down. Wonky TV in room - Wire hanging down from the back of it, tables in the bar where left untidy - receptionist answering the phones whilst checking us in. Little things […] but at those prices per night you expect better. Breakfast was good. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
Wasn't happy atall I was thinking it was going to be Lot nicer than it wasGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great hotel, great location"
The hotel, the staff and facilities were great. We particularly enjoyed the executive lounge with free refreshments and amazing view over the city. One thing that let the hotel down a little was the grubbiness of the carpet and scratched side boards in our room. It kust made the room a little tired looking.Genuine Expedia guest review
Stayed for 1 night for my stepdaughters 18th bdy prezzy, £100 for 2 of us.. Bargain :) room was lovely we had a nice view over the city, very clean! No hair dryer in room when we got there but one was soon brought for us!! The spa was really nice and relaxing! Breakfast was fantastic and filled us both up all day, staff were helpful and polite,can't […] wait to stay again! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Top rate hotel.. 3rd rate details"
This place is a bit over hyped in my view.. It was comfortable enough but nothing special for the price.. The night time view from the room was pleasant but worth the extra £40 ???Genuine Expedia guest review
"Hilton Deansgate"
Hotel is top quality. Furnished to a very high standard. Had to query my bill charged for a couple of things from mini bar that we did not have. Reception we're helpful.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
I'm Always Satisfied With The Level Of Service At The Deansgate Hilton And Look Forward To Many More Visits In The Near Future.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"great hotel"
stayed at the Hilton for 2 nights in March and must say by far the best 4* I've stayed in. Hotel was in perfect location with everything near by, we went to the Phones4U arena which was down the road to a concert. Even enjoyed the Spa facilities at the hotel.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great hotel great views great staff"
The atmosphere and the environment was relaxed and modern. The room could have had a few added extras for the proce but everything was clean and comfortable. I would visit again.Genuine Expedia guest review

"Great service, lacking a few basics"
Great stay at the Hilton. Apart from a very cold welcome from the check-in staff the service was wonderful. Disappointing to only have one comfortable chair in a twin room. Slightly shocked that wifi isn't included in the room price. The gym was excellent but the swimming pool was too small to be enjoyed if there were others using it.Genuine Expedia guest review
"comfy beds, quiet, and great service"
All very good, as expected from a Hilton Hotel. Bathroom tap was leaking but, a very minor observation. Quiet, clean and comfortable rooms. Would stay there again if travelling to Manchester.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Contemporary style"
Splendid room and breakfast Great location Iconic buildingGenuine Expedia guest review
"Valentine's Treat"
The hotel was absolutely lovely, the room had everything you needed with a beautiful view. We went just for the night enjoying some cheeky cocktails at the Hilton's cloud 23. Definitely recommend.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"very nice hotel"
very private and secured, loved the bar cloud 23 and the careness of every staffGenuine Expedia guest review
we were shocked at how bad this hotel was based on the price and that fact it was a Hilton. the corridor stank of stale smoke. the carpet was dirty and had seen better days. the temp was set at 16 degrees, we changed it as soon as we got in, but the room didn't really warm up. we asked for an extra duvet and we were told there was none!!! this hotel […] is a rip off and its a shame for such a landmark hotel. Its pretentious, with no cause to be. Shocked, but most of all very disappointed. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"OK stay"
I tried the Hilton for a change as I frequently stay in Manchester but given other reviews I left disappointed. Compared to other similar priced hotels I would rate this as a a functional business hotel, that is lacking that something extra as regards service. The room had amazing views but the furniture and bathroom were a bit shabby showing signs […] of wear and tear. The shower was very poor. They also charge for the internet - is this still necessary as many of their competitors do not. Reception was disappointing as the concierge was there in person only and did not offer any assistance. Unlike many hotels in the same price bracket and class the receptionist did not offer an alarm call, newspaper or enquire if we needed anything else. The bar had great views but seemed expensive. On a price basis, given this review, it will not displace my usual choice of hotels in Manchester Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Comfy beds"
Slept very well, lovely hotel!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Concearge service was fantastic"
we could not fault our stay at the Hotel, From check in to check out the service was excellent in particular one member of the concierge was fantastic really helpful we think his name was Frudle he was a credit to the Hotel. Breakfast in the room was a bit cold but it was ok. The lady who served it again was very helpful. Everyone was willing to help […] it was a great night. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great experience"
From the moment I arrived to the moment I left, the staff at this hotel are ecpetional! The room was fantastic with great views over Manchester, room service was great, and clud 23 great bar, and coctails! I will deffinatley be returning to this hotel...Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Staff was great & room was lovely. Only gripe is housekeeping could pay a little more attention to detail, as the shower screen seal needed cleaning and was scummy. Other than that great views of Manchester and fantastic room service.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great location shame about the service"
Close to Manchester centre, museums, shopping, trams and trains so excellent location. Comfortable room but we didn't get room service on any of the 3 full days we were there and Reception failed to sort. Additionally, whilst breakfast was very good you had to check your crockery and cutlery for lack of proper cleaning. Changing rooms in the pool area […] suffered from this issue at times as well even though the pool itself was great. Given what this hotel charges I would have expected to be able to eat my dinner off of the floor and this definitely wasn't the case. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Birthday Bash"
Very enjoyable, staff were excellent, even sent up a plate of sweets for Sue's Birthday, unexpected but appreciated.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Very "Comfy Beds""
Excellent breakfast. Very enjoyable stay in top quality hotel!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Superb location and excellent service"
We had a great two days.the staff were most helpful and the service was first class. Definitely worth another visit and soon!!Genuine Expedia guest review
Noisy room, constant banging from the window frame kept me awake all night. Not able to access cloud 23 bar from the residents lift, you have to go to ground floor and queue to access another lift. Made my booking with inclusive breakfast, on arrival I was informed it was room only although my confirmation confirmed breakfast included (hotels.com e […] rror). Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Good location"
Stayed New Years Eve as a treat, although ate out, so only slept in the room. Very comfortable.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Not as expected"
Was not happy with the hotel overall. Room was not clean, sticky drink marks were left on the desk so definitely had not cleaned that area at least. The hotel food was of good standard but not a touch on the sister hotel 'doubletree'. I stayed there only 2 weeks and was given a much better service, free newspapers left at our door in the morning, room […] service was very quick, food was perfect and not a bad word to say about it, slippers and robes were left to be used by ourselves which made that particular stay a much better one. The price I paid for The Doubletree was only half of what I paid for Deansgate. The bed in deansgate was most uncomfortable also, I woke up with terrible back ache. The service of the hotel at check-in/out was fantastic and efficent though. Hotel was too far out for us to travel into the centre of Mnachester withou driving or paying a fortune for a taxi. Overall not impressed. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great location, celebrating 40th Wedding Anniversa"
Great hotel, excellent location for the centre of Manchester, would have liked to been able to check in before 3pm. Cloud 23 excellent venue and great viewsGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"comfortable overnight"
All very satisfactory apart from the bed which was very uncomfortable. To be fair when I mentioned it the staff seemed very concerned to rectify. I had a twin room and simply slept in the other bed which was fine. I understand that the faulty bed was to be changed immediately. Reception courteous and efficient. Food OK in the Podium restaurant but to […] be fair it was close to Christmas and we were a party of 40+ . Disco was well organised. Bar service good. A bit of a walk to the centre of Deansgate but only a ten minute walk or so. Close to Deansgate locks. Good value for money if you leave it late to book Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

We went here for Sunday brunch to experience Loudoun County's "Farm to Table" dinning and were stunned to see the beautiful grounds with huge trees probably 100's of years old, colorful gardens, pool, trails, cottages, and farm.
The Sunday brunch was a real bargain for $39 as it starts off with a Complimentary Glass of Champagne, or Bloody Mary or Mimosa and then they have a three course meal. We all enjoyed the items we ordered which were all perfectly cooked and presented. Truffle Chocolate Cake is sinfully delicious.
We took a walk around the property and felt like it will be one of the best weekend getaway options around Washington DC area. They have lovely pool, great food, lots of trails to walk and bike and lovely farm. Also, the place has colorful barns, landscapes, and views to take lovely pictures. Especially in Fall.
Looking forward to spending a weekend here on some special occasion.

SANTA CLARITA, Calif., Jan. 15, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- As the new year begins, Princess Cruises is launching a fresh advertising campaign to remind travelers that cruising can transform and enrich their lives, and set the line's cruise vacations apart as an opportunity for passengers to "come back new." The $20 million program will be the company's most extensive ever, and marks a return to television and radio advertising for the brand, which has not taken to the airwaves for more than a decade.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140115/LA46720)
The new campaign, which debuts today, is aimed at those consumers who the cruise line's research has uncovered as "meaningful travelers" – those who value experiences over things, and desire enriching and transformative vacation experiences. The ads feature people cruising with Princess who experience memorable moments onboard while connecting with nature, cultures and loved ones in a different way, and "come back new."
The new TV spots will launch during the Critics' Choice Movie Awards® Red Carpet Show airing on the CW network January 16.
Created by award-winning agency Goodby, Silverstein and Partners, the spots will air both online and on major television networks including CBS, NBC, ABC and Fox, plus many top cable networks and shows. They will be complemented by a series of dramatic print ads that evoke the enriching possibilities of Princess' worldwide cruise destinations, which will appear in national and regional magazines. Radio and digital advertising will round out the campaign.
"This new campaign is an exciting opportunity for us to differentiate Princess Cruises in the minds of travelers," said Jan Swartz, Princess Cruises president. "After extensive research, we identified a growing segment of people who want their vacations to transform them with new perspectives, new friendships and new stories. They are increasingly looking to discover new places, learn about other cultures, try new foods from the places they're visiting, and gain inspiration from the world they don't see every day. They want to 'come back new,' and our new campaign shows that Princess is the best cruise line to deliver this to them."
The new television spots focus on personal experiences at sea, with beautiful photography to capture the idea that "a moment can transform you forever." Ads take viewers along as a father lovingly carries his happily exhausted daughter along the Promenade Deck, creating a lifetime memory. Other ads show couples who discover the true value of time together, and how a wonderful day exploring Italy can inspire a surprising twist from the expected.
"Our new advertising theme really captures the essence of our brand promise to our passengers," Swartz continued. "The ads were actually inspired by our passengers' stories about how they return from their cruise vacation feeling rejuvenated and more closely connected with their loved ones, and with fresh perspectives stimulated by the beauty of the ocean, of the world and other cultures they visited, and their onboard experiences."
The print ads explore a variety of cruise destinations, cultures and experiences that can lead passengers to "come back new." Focusing initially on Alaska and Caribbean cruises, the ads capture the transformative moments of exploration. The ads will appear in a variety of outlets, including Travel & Leisure, Food and Wine, Sunset and National Geographic Traveler. Radio spots that continue the "come back new" theme will air in major markets around the U.S., including Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Houston, and Miami. The new ads and other campaign materials will roll out through the month of January.
The new broadcast spots are available at princess.com/come-back-new.
The new campaign was created by Goodby, Silverstein and Partners, an award-winning advertising agency based in San Francisco. The campaign executive creative director is Rich Silverstein, and the co-creative directors are Kate Catalinac and Damian Fitzgerald.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric.

This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happe...

When an enterprise builds a hybrid IaaS cloud connecting its data center to one or more public clouds, security is often a major topic along with the other challenges involved.

STILLWATER — Through another ragged and frustrating offensive performance against TCU, a beacon of hope and optimism attached to one Cowboy: running back Rennie Childs.
OSU football: Rennie Childs might bring new dimension to OSU run game
A breakthrough for the Oklahoma State running game?
A breakout for Childs?
No one knows for sure — not even his coaches or teammates — which is often the case when true freshmen get thrown into the mix. There's always a curiosity of whether a young player can repeat success from a small sample size.
Still, Childs gained everyone's attention, after entering in the second half against the Horned Frogs and running for a team-high 45 yards and a touchdown on nine carries, and scooting 34 yards on a swing pass.
"I guess he kind of made a spark on this team," said Cowboys guard Brandon Webb. "He's a real tough downhill runner. He's not really big, but he's still a physical runner. It was impressive."
OSU's rushing offense, regularly a given over the past seven seasons, continues to lag. The Cowboys rank No. 7 in the Big 12 and 95th nationally in rushing yards per game. They're averaging just 136.5 yards in the run game; 3.9 per carry.
By comparison, OSU has averaged at least 174.4 yards per game since Mike Gundy's second season in 2006, producing a 1,000-yard rusher in each of those seasons and a first-team All-Big 12 back in five of the six.
Last season, Joseph Randle ran for 100 yards or more nine times.
Between Jeremy Smith and Desmond Roland, who have received the majority of OSU's carries, the Cowboys claim but one 100-yard effort at this season's midway point, and that came in the opener against Mississippi State.
So Childs' spark is welcome.
"I'm not going to complain," said Webb, part of an offensive line that has received its share of criticism for the offense's struggles. "You want to hit the hole downhill, I'm for that.
"Rennie got a pass out there for 30 once, was hitting some runs for chunk yardage. If it affects the run game, that's what you need to open up everything else. I'm all for it."
The question now with the Cowboys headed for Iowa State Saturday: where does the OSU run game go from here? And what is Childs' role in determining the course?
Gundy offers caution, pointing out how much is involved in getting young backs ready to not only run, but handle the other responsibilities, like grasping the playbook, picking up blitzes, etc.

Onboard the Sunshine. May 30-June 7
We had a balcony cabin on level 8. It was in a great location for us. Just up one Level to the Lido deck. The food was great as usual. The Matrie D was the same one we had on our first cruise. He was great and told him so. The staff was attentive as usual.
We loved the 2.0 upgrades. Our favorite was the serenity decks. The lower deck was always full and crowded, we just went up to 14 and enjoyed the sun there.
We took two shore excursions, one was a tour bus of Aruba. It was interesting, but I wish the driver could have slowed down a little. But still enjoyable. Then we attempted a snorkel excursion in Curaçao, it wasn't what was described on the internet. We were very unhappy. Carnival made it right and refunded our money. Less

I wanted a little bodice top for summertime and when I saw the sewing pattern for this one from the April issue I knew I had to make it. I liked the paneling in the top and how I was able to cut the entire top from scrap spandex that I had. Since I sewed it in spandex I didn't have to worry about a closure, which made this top quick and easy.
I also added a gathered pinch in the center front of the top. I didn't plan on this before, but after I tried on the top I played with it and decided it would look cute with one. The style of the top makes it nice for day time with a nice denim jacket…but then the edgy metallic spandex wows for nighttime!

The mother-in-law stops by her daughter's house to find her son-in-law in a steaming rage and packing his suitcase."What happened, Tommy?" she asks anxiously."What happened?" he thundered. "I'll tell you what happened! I sent an email to my wife, telling her I was coming home today from my fishing trip."I get home and guess what I find? Your daughter, my wife, with Joe Murphy in our bed! This is unforgivable! I'm leaving her!""Ah, calm down, Tommy," says his mother-in-law. "Jean would never do such a thing! There must be a simple explanation. I'll go speak to her."Minutes later, the mother-in-law comes back beaming."See, Tommy?" she smiles. "I told you there was a reasonable explanation. She never got your email!"

What is innovation? The current relationship between educators and technologies - Innovate My School
What is innovation, exactly? Teacher of French and Japanese Rory Gallagher discusses how teachers and companies affect education-innovation.
Via WebTeachers, KCenter SKEMA
Ivon Prefontaine's insight:
Teachers are important in the innovative and creative processes of student learning.
Ivon Prefontaine's curator insight, May 2, 9:49 AM
The opening line indicating we are 14 years into the 21st Century and just catching up is 1/2 right. We are 14 years into the 21st Century, but are we catching up? I don't think so. In large part, we have focused on digital technologies as fads i.e. using Twitter, Facebook, etc. and missed the skills, attitudes, and deportment necessary. School is still done the same way in many situations with new tools.
From www
"In an age of new buzz words, of digital disruption, where the model for delivering education will change in the face of new methods of delivery, schools will have to normalize the use of digital within their walls. While there's no one model that fits all schools (each will digitise at its own pace), there are a number of things which all should consider:"

It is interesting that teachers are not mentioned in any great depth.

Via Tim Viands
Ivon Prefontaine's insight:
Culture is important. Being open and knowing when digital technology are the appropriate tools is important. They are not always despite what some tech gurus and change managers say. Sometimes, one student might be well-served to use a particular digital technology, another a different one, and a third something non-digital. Remembering that technology is the study of a craft and art is important in education.
From blogs
And you can't rely on the facts to make your case, either.
Ivon Prefontaine's insight:
I see leadership and authority as intertwined. Leadership which is authentic authors its own authority. What often passes as authentic and authoritative leadership is management. Management is necessary, but is not the equivalent and is a technical process. What we see in education is management. People outside classrooms decide what is to be done, or so they think, in classrooms. That is management. Leadership would be including teachers in conversations.

Via Ana Cristina Pratas, iPamba
Ivon Prefontaine's insight:
A very important point is that a team and community are different. The former has external direction and goals i.e. the boss determines. The latter is organic and may be influenced externally, but the group finds a way to understand and minimize the influences.
Ivon Prefontaine's insight:
Theories are always works in progress. Connectivism builds on constructionism using newer work from quantum physics. Karen Barad has added substantially with the idea of entanglement where everything is connected and yet separate.
Technology brings so many awesome things into our lives. A world of information is at our fingertips, not much is out of reach, and there is seemingly a new, awesome, must-have device released every week.
Via Susan Grigsby @sksgrigsby
Ivon Prefontaine's insight:
What do these statistics mean? The statistics are irrelevant unless educators and parents put meaning to them and explore that with children in real ways.
Susan Grigsby @sksgrigsby's curator insight, April 28, 4:51 PM
And what about the parent who is so absorbed into their own device they almost completely ignore the child? I'm not a fan of electronic babysitting but I am also no fan of modern day parenting where kids don't know how to have a conversation, how to respect adults, how to read social cues, and how to behave in public all because Mom and Dad have their noses buried in a mobile device and don't notice the difference.

Several teachers who use online spaces in various ways find asynchronous spaces are beneficial to reflection and communication. Research indicates that asynchronous provide potential to take online beyond teams to community forming. Teams are still very top-down and communities are organic.

Via Rob Hatfield, M.Ed.
Ivon Prefontaine's insight:
It is something to think about. Students do need to experience the real experience of sites and events like the Lewis and Clark Trail, Old Quebec, the Grand Canyon, National Parks, etc. Technology can begin the journey, but it is a tool on the journey and not the journey.

Via Ana Cristina Pratas
Ivon Prefontaine's insight:
I think like face-to-face pedagogy digital pedagogy is not one thing, but many things. It is certainly about relationships, but what that means is hard to generalize. I think it is always playing out in particular situations, relationships, and teaching. It takes mindfulness, attentiveness, thoughtfulness, being present, etc.

Nancy Jones's curator insight, May 2, 1:52 PM
I know it is certainly true for me. In addition, there are totally different areas of the brain that are "wired and fired' when you write notes. The idea of providing students with notes electronically would seem to be counterproductive.

There is a need to convert digitally, but not casting aside pencils and books completely. There is still something to said about school learning and its place in the new school landscape.
J. Mark Schwanz's curator insight, May 2, 9:14 AM
Their growth in engagement and achievement speak louder than the lack of pencils and traditional textbooks. I also appreciate the mention of the district's creativity in funding, considering technology infrastructure improvement and not capital expenditure.
We have long envied the meditation and lack of anxiety that monks have practiced for thousands of years. This has pushed people for the longest time to try and practice meditating in hopes of relieving our stress. Scientists, with the help of medical imaging and technology, have also pursued the effects of meditation and mindfulness in hopes of applying what seemed to be a psychological phenomena in a an actual neurological manner for treating drug addictions, cancer, anxiety, and depression, just to name a few. While these are outstanding physical and psychological benefits, meditation and mindfulness can even be taken into the context of trying to enhance creativity and productivity in executive work environments.
Via Bobby Dillard
Ivon Prefontaine's insight:
Meditation and mindfulness are hard work. They are not about corporate bottom lines and are about being present, being a better person, and helping make the world a better place. In the process, corporate bottom lines might be assisted. This might happen even in realizing obscene corporate profits do not make the world a better place and are just as impermanent as anything else.
Ivon Prefontaine's insight:
It is a good question. I think that connectivism might be subsumed into many theories including constructivism. We learn as social creatures and through language. The reference to Ivan Illich's work is interesting. He certainly saw digital technologies as a way of delivering part of education and saw the informal networks that local communities could help in delivering education. I don't think he saw digital technologies as the only delivery mechanism but part of a large complex.
I've learned over the years that we should not let technology drive what we do for instruction. It should be the other way around focusing on the objective.

One way to approach this is to have students question their assumption. That is challenging work, but they begin to realize they hold things as 'facts' that are not always the way others see things. Healthy skepticism questions one's own assumptions and that helps.

Peking police silence victims of Japan's war
Former 'comfort women' targeted in drive to prevent complaints embarrassing leadership
Tuesday 08 August 1995
The raid on the press conference was the latest signal that Peking wants to stifle independent calls for compensation before next week's 50th-anniversary celebrations of the Japanese surrender in 1945, and during next month's United Nations World Conference on Women in Peking.
At the meeting Wang Aihua, 67, had tearfully begun to talk about her experiences as a "comfort woman", or sex slave, when the electricity to the hotel conference room was cut. A dozen uniformed and plainclothes policemen entered the room, stopped all filming and photography, confiscated videos and camera film, and took everyone's names.
Li Dingguo, one of the organisers, was taken away by police. Ms Wang, another former "comfort woman", other victims of Japanese war brutality and Tong Zeng, a campaigner for compensation, were allowed to leave. Reporters were told not to file reports.
China dropped official demands for compensation in 1972 when it established diplomatic ties with Japan, but it has previously said it would not stop private citizens seeking war reparations, and has voiced tacit support for them. But now, Peking appears to have toughened its stance against unofficial pressure groups.
The government has several concerns. It does not want to risk antagonising Japan, which is a big trade partner and the largest aid donor. It is equally reluctant to allow unofficial lobbyists to divert attention from the carefully scripted official anniversary celebrations on 15 August.
Nor can it risk being seen by a domestic audience to tolerate independent Chinese voices before the women's conference, when it is keen to keep strict control of Chinese participation.
Peking has banned Mr Tong from attending the Non-Governmental Organisation Forum held in parallel with the women's conference, where he was due to take part in a discussion on the Japanese army's use of "comfort women" during the war. On Sunday he appealed to the UN to intervene.
The authorities took away Mr Tong's passport 10 days ago to stop him going to Japan to present a lawsuit on behalf of 15 Chinese war victims, but the suit was filed in his absence yesterday in Tokyo. Other members of the group did receive passports and visas, and will travel to Japan to press their case.
The official propaganda in the run-up to 15 August has so far focused on detailing Japanese atrocities, and stressing the heroism of the People's Liberation Army in comparison to the Nationalist troops in the fight against the Japanese. China says it lost 35 million people at the hands of the Japanese, more than any other country.

Anonymous Targets Westboro Baptist
The shock and heartbreak over the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School have inspired Westboro Baptist Church to do what they do worst: jettison any semblance of humanity and decency by picketing the funerals of the victims. At this point, any measure of attention given to these clowns is too much, but famed hacking collective Anonymous—who has picked fights with Westboro in the past—apparently decided enough was enough, and used their considerable Internet savvy to leaked the personal information of the members of Westboro's congregation online for anyone to see, write, call or even pay a visit to. It's a pretty dramatic move, but their other move was more legal, more controversial and, perhaps, more effective: a petition to recognize Westboro as a hate group. It received the required number of signatures in one day ...
