Ronny Deila, the Celtic manager, had vowed that his team would go for the jugular in all home matches against domestic opposition and his players certainly carried out instructions when they thrashed Dundee United 6-1 on Saturday.
United had arrived in Glasgow brimful with confidence after winning their opening two fixtures but the match, as a contest, was over before the interval.
Worryingly, for those who hoped that the gap between the holders and the rest might be closing, Celtic now enjoy a goal difference of plus eight after meeting the Scottish Cup winners and the team which finished fourth last season..
Former custodian Fergus McCann had unfurled the club's 45th league championship flag prior to the kick-off, which began like the footballing equivalent of Marvin Hagler v Tommy Hearns.
Celtic midfielder Callum McGregor struck the post in the first minute, Gary Mackay-Steven of Dundee United fired wide of a gaping goal 60 second later and Celtic took the lead in their next attack when Jason Denayer, the Belgian defender signed on loan from Manchester City, fired into the postage-stamp corner after Virgil van Dijk had nodded down a Kris Commons corner.
United again conceded from a set play in the 27th minute when Commons headed home an Anthony Stokes corner at the near post and Stefan Johansen added a third seven minutes later after dispossessing Paul Paton on the edge of the penalty area.
Stokes added a fourth nine minutes after the restart, scoring with a cross which eluded everyone, including United goalkeeper Radoslaw Cierzniak.
Another loan signing, Jo Inge Berget from Cardiff City, notched his first goals for the Hoops sandwiched between a deflected strike from John Rankin for United.
The victory sets up Celtic for the first leg of their Champions League play-off round against NK Maribor in Slovenia on Wednesday. Their assistant manager, Sasa Gajser, watched with interest.
"There was a lot of what I want to see and I was proud of the players," said Deila afterwards. "We were unbelievable on set plays today and there was a lot to be happy about."
James Forrest and Adam Matthews are serious doubts for Wednesday night's match, however. Forrest picked up a hamstring injury late in the game while Matthews had to be replaced by Efe Ambrose after injuring a calf in the warm-up.
Inverness Caledonian Thistle are the surprise leaders. Their 2-0 victory over a weakened Motherwell side at Fir Park took them a point clear of Celtic, United and Hamilton Accies. It also means that their defence has yet to be breached in 2014/15.
A low drive from outside the penalty area by Greg Tansey deceived Dan Twardzik in the home goal three minutes from half-time.
Even the introduction of Estonia striker Henrik Ojaama, returning to Fir Park on loan from Legia Warsaw, could not spark a revival for the Steelmen and, while they attempted to salvage a point, Aaron Doran scored a second for the Highlanders in the 89th minute.
Hamilton, who commenced their return to the top flight by losing at home to Inverness, may now be suffering the footballing equivalent of the bends, after their 1-0 win against St Johnstone at New Douglas Park catapulted them into third place.
Darian Mackinnon, the midfielder who was playing non-league football two years ago, grabbed the only goal of the encounter in the 16th minute with a low drive which required a deflection to beat Alan Mannus.
While the visitors twice struck the woodwork after the break, the Lanarkshire club had two efforts cleared on the goal-line and deserved to take all three points.
"It's all about learning lessons and what we learned today was that you can't start playing at half-time," said Saints manager Tommy Wright. "The damage was done in the first half."
Kilmarnock, who escaped being sucked into the play-offs on the final day of the previous campaign, now find themselves in fifth position after prevailing against Ross County in Dingwall.
Northern Ireland striker Josh Magennis, signed from Aberdeen, opened his account for the Ayrshire club with a header to give them a first-half lead and
Another header from another new boy, former Bury winger Tope Obadeyi, doubled their advantage and, although County reduced the leeway through Billy Boyce, Derek Adams remains the only manager in the top tier not to have taken a point after three matches.
In the only other Premiership fixture, the shares were spoiled between Dundee and Partick Thistle at Dens Park.
Gary Fraser, who has scored in all three games for Thistle, opened the scoring after only four minutes with an Exocet of a shot from 20 yards.
Dundee restored parity through 17-year-old Craig Wighton, who delivered a clinical finish after being released by Jim McAlister.
However, the Jags were reduced to 10 men on the hour when goalkeeper Scott Fox was dismissed after Danny Seaborne had conceded a penalty.
To add to the drama, substitute goalie Paul Gallacher saved Gary Harkins' spot-kick and he helped Thistle to pick up another point.

NHL Draft 2013: Where This Year's Biggest Stars Will LandMay 28, 2013
The incoming class for the 2013 NHL Draft is flooded with elite talent, and the teams lucky enough to have a top-five pick will receive a franchise-changing talent if they choose the right fit for their team.
Although the spectacle won't start until June 30, where it'll all take place in the Prudential Center in New Jersey, there's still a pretty good feeling out there of who has stepped out from the pack and proven worthy of a top pick.
Let's take a look at the first five picks in a mini mock draft including the best players from the 2013 class.
No. 1: Seth Jones, D, Colorado Avalanche
This pick has been the obvious choice for the Avs ever since they won the draft lottery. It just makes sense on every level for both sides.
Colorado is in desperate need of a defensive stopper and a franchise player, and fortunately enough, Seth Jones will answer both of those voids. He's a generational talent who has everything needed to become the next great defenseman and return the Avs to the top of the NHL like they were just a number of years ago.
Jones already has the size and speed to play in the NHL and won't have to wait to get on the ice despite still being a teenager, and the Avs won't want him to wait with how badly they need him.
No. 2: Jonathan Drouin, LW, Florida Panthers
Jonathan Drouin is arguably the most dynamic player in this year's draft and might be the guy from this class that you see the most often on highlight reels. He's also a franchise talent who will be a perfect fit in Florida.
The Panthers already have a long-term answer at center with Jonathan Huberdeau, so they would be wise to find a playmaker to put alongside him. If this match works as well on the ice as it looks on paper, Florida will get back into the playoffs in no time.
Florida could always pick up another great center in this draft, but the Drouin selection allows them to solidify their front line of the future and add another missing piece to the puzzle.
No. 3: Nathan MacKinnon, C, Tampa Bay Lightning
Although Drouin would be great in Tampa Bay, they'll have to settle for center Nathan MacKinnon at No. 3. And I say settle reluctantly because this is still a pick that could transform their franchise.
MacKinnon simply does so much for his teammates with a unique style of play that makes you feel like there's no possible way he could fail to have an impact on any game.
Whether he scores or not, his passing is sure to set up goals on a regular basis and notch gaudy assist totals when he makes the transition to the NHL. There's nothing leading me to believe he couldn't make a quick jump, either.
The Lightning have rested their franchise's hopes on Vincent Lecavalier and Martin St. Louis in the past, but it's time to find the new age of Tampa Bay hockey and MacKinnon would be a strong candidate for that as a future No. 2 center behind Steven Stamkos.
No. 4: Aleksander Barkov, C, Nashville Predators
Aleksander Barkov just has the ideal size and skill set to be a game-changing talent in the NHL, and the Predators will be beyond lucky to receive such production for years from the No. 4 pick in the draft.
Despite being only 17 years old, Barkov has been the talk of the NHL draft system for a while. But his young age has allowed him to slip beneath the cracks in favor of slightly older players who will be able to contribute more quickly.
Barkov may be 17, but he's also 6'3" and 205 pounds, so it's hard to see how he could get pushed around too badly if he was inserted into the NHL quickly after being drafted. As crazy as it would be to see such a young player out there competing, Barkov seems able to fit right in despite his age.
His potential is so huge and boasts an intelligence of the game well beyond his years. This has suited him well so far and it will continue to as he'll make the tough transition to the NHL with ease.
No. 5: Darnell Nurse, D, Carolina Hurricanes
This is where the talent gap in the 2013 draft drops immensely, but that's nothing against Darnell Nurse. He won't be a franchise player, but should anchor a first-unit defensive line for years on a team that could desperately use that.
Nurse has an imposing physical game with crushing hits as well as the intelligence, both important characteristics for any team's top defenseman. If he can mold the rest of his game around those strengths, he'll be an elite defender in just a few years.
This pick is also a safe one for the Hurricanes, who have gone out on a limb with defensemen from the draft in recent years. Nurse is a cookie-cutter defender who will anchor your unit and pay for himself easily.
Nurse is the type of player that any team would be lucky to land from the draft, and the 'Canes will be ecstatic in a few years with this pick.

Well, look at what we have here — a Sony Vaio branded Chromebook. The details have yet to be officially announced and at this time are coming by way of an FCC filing. The notebook is showing as the Sony Vaio CC111 and from the looks of things, will be available in both black and white. The notebook will come sporting an 11.6 inch display and other goodies to include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n. Bluetooth, HDMI, two USB 2.0 ports, microphone in, headphone out and an SD card slot. As we have come to see on the Chromebook, the keyboard is the familiar chiclet style and has the "search" key as opposed to the "caps lock" key. And lastly, while these details were not revealed from the FCC filing, based on previous model Chromebooks we suspect that the Sony model would also come sporting a 16GB SSD and 2GB of RAM.

Boy, 17, arrested after two students stabbed outside college campus
A 17-year-old boy has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after two students were stabbed outside a college campus.
Police were called to the scene at Manchester College at about 11.10am on Thursday.
A 17-year-old boy suffered a stab wound to his chest and an 18-year-old man was stabbed in the back in Chorlton Street in the city centre.
Both are in a stable condition in hospital after they received treatment for their injuries.
A spokeswoman for Greater Manchester Police said: "Officers recovered a knife from the scene and a 17-year-old boy has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder. He is currently in police custody for questioning.
"Police are continuing to appeal for any witnesses to come forward."
Detective Inspector Rebecca Boyce added: "We currently have one person in custody but we are still in the early stages of the investigation and need those who witnessed the incident to get in contact with us.
"There were a lot of people in the area at that time so I'm encouraging anyone who has any information, no matter how small, to call police.
"I'd like to re-emphasise that we have a team of highly skilled officers working on this investigation and we are following each line of enquiry extremely seriously."
Anyone with information should contact police on 101 quoting reference number 757 of 24/11/16 or the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
Chorlton Street was cordoned off by police between Fairfield Street and Canal Street as investigations took place.
Forensic officers were at the scene and evidence markers could be seen on the pavement outside the college gates.
Lisa O'Loughlin, principal of Manchester College, said: "An incident occurred this morning outside our Shena Simon campus in which two of our students were injured.
"We are currently supporting the police with their inquiries. We have closed Shena Simon campus for the remainder of today and are providing full support to our students and staff at this difficult time."

To be nobody-but-yourself -- in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else -- means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting. ~ e. e. cummings
Sunday, March 29, 2009
Well, I did say "24 hours" now, didn't I....
"Why Heather!" I hear you exclaim. "Didn't you go to bed hours ago, as soon as The Amazing Race ended, as per usual?"
Well, yes, I did plan to go to bed after watching one of my two favorite teams get Philiminated. I was in my jammies, in the bathroom, brushing my teeth and I heard Kiddo's door open.
Oh heck, thought I, PLEASE tell me she hasn't thrown up again.
Nope. Not barf.
"Mommy, my feet and ankles are SO itchy that I can't sleep and I can't stop scratching them!" says my poor, beleaguered child.
Indeed. I turned on the light in the hallway and I could instantly see the problem quite clearly.
LOTS of hives.
EVERYWHERE from the top of her head to the soles of her feet.
Angry, red, worsening-by-the-second hives.
I immediately dove into the very-well-organized-now,-thanks-to-the-house-showing-thing medicine chest and pulled out a bottle of Benadryl. Uh-oh, not much left in this one. Poured her a teaspoon from the dregs of the bottle and gave it to her and then settled her back into bed and went downstairs to check the package insert info for the antibiotic Kiddo's been taking since Friday night. You know, the antibiotic for the sinus infection that was gooing up her eyes (so they'd crust shut - like the worst pinkeye you've ever seen, but not pinkeye) and her nose and face that were generally a disgusting mess... An antibiotic she's taken once before with no bad reactions. So, I pulled out the info sheet and whaddya know, hives could constitute a "severe allergic reaction" to this med.
I called up the after-hours answering service at 9:51. Well, *most* adults are still awake at this point, right? I mean, this isn't like I'm calling at 2 in the morning... Yes, I am rationalizing the decision to call the doctor to myself, don't ask me why. That's what they're there for, right? I explained the situation to the lady and she said "Oh YES, that is something the doctor will call you back for IMMEDIATELY!" Hmmm. I tried not to panic as I waited for the doctor to call back.
In doctor terms, as it turns out, "IMMEDIATELY!" equates to roughly 13 minutes. Not that I was counting. I used the meantime to go back upstairs and check on the hives situation. Still NOT good - even Kiddo's eyelids are hived over. I asked her questions to see if this is getting anaphylactic but she didn't report any itching in her mouth or throat and her tongue and lips weren't swelling. Finally, finally, the phone rings back.
It's Doctor Crotchety McGrump, he of the infamous Splinter Removal incident. Excellent. From the sounds of it, he went to bed as soon as Andy Rooney signed off, though maybe it's just that he always sounds that grouchy or maybe he remembers Kiddo, her volume level and her fierce kicking skillz. I didn't know and I didn't care. I gave him the rundown and he confirmed that yes, in fact, this does sound like a "severe allergic reaction" to the amoxicillin, even though Kiddo's been taking it for 2 days now. He tells me the hives could very well continue for another 3 to 4 days (!!) and she might also experience some swelling in her ankles, knees and any other joints (!!!) and I am to discontinue the antibiotic immediately (duh) and call the office in the morning for a new scrip. Oh, and I might have to add a second antihistamine to the Benadryl, too. I mused aloud about her returning to school tomorrow after hearing about all this and got an earful from Doc McGrump about how "Well, if she's itchy and uncomfortable, is she really going to LEARN anything?" Yeah, thanks for your two cents there, Doctor Spock. He does go on to suggest keeping her cool and lightly dressed and to use cool compresses as needed to help minimize the discomfort.
I hung up the phone and changed Kiddo out of her fleece jammies into a pair from last summer that were wedged at the way back of her pajama drawer. They're a little on the small side but not too tight, so we went with them. I got Kiddo re-settled into bed again (and by now the hives were abating a bit - at least her face was looking less red) and did a more thorough check of the medicine cabinet. Nope, those three drops are all we have left. I preceded to wake Hubby up to explain the situation, some of which he'd gathered from hearing the phone ring and my end of the conversation, and though he was dubious about an allergic reaction setting in two days later, he agreed to keep an ear out for Kiddo as I headed over to Walmart for another bottle of Benadryl.
Let me just pause in my tale of woe here for a brief moment to point out that even in my not-really-suited-for-going-out-in-public attire (stretched out, raggedy old yoga pants, a holey, oversized t-shirt that comes down almost to my knees, with a paint-spattered sweatshirt thrown over for decency's sake, blue crew socks I grabbed off the floor, beat up brown leather clogs and a sage green barn jacket to complete the ensemble), I was not the strangest dressed person at our local Walmart at 10:20 this evening. I didn't even rate a second look. Wow.
Anyhow, I grabbed a bottle of Benadryl and the other antihistamine too, since I was there. Of course I'll be back at a pharmacy tomorrow for Kiddo's new antibiotic, but whatever.
And here I am, home again, home again, jiggety jig. I'm totally wired now, and want to wait until it is time to give Kiddo her next breathing treatment with the inhaler (Doc McGrump said to continue that every 4 hours and that it might help with the hives, too) so I turned my computer back on and plunked myself down to whinge away on my blog.
In summary, OY!! Can this 24 hours PLEASE end SOON? I can't believe I'm looking forward to it being MONDAY. Bleargh! I just really, really hope that this reaction isn't indicative of a penicillin allergy, and instead was just because she's on a really strong dose (which was prescribed so she'd only need to take it twice a day, instead of a lesser dose 3 or 4 times a day). Penicillin allergies are a pain in the neck - I was allergic to penicillin as a kid but outgrew it, myself. So, fingers crossed this was an isolated incident and Kiddo is feeling much less itchy in the morning!!

It's Les Gastronomes' tenth anniversary gig and beery bonhomie abounds as the crowd relax into the mood with some tasty Chinese fare, a couple of keno games and a peek at the footy.

Two main reasons to evict a tenant in Florida are failure to pay rent or failure to comply with the lease agreement. You must serve the tenant with the proper statutory notice for the eviction to be enforceable. The response time for your tenant to pay their rent or vacate or comply with other lease terms varies depending on whether your tenant is leasing residential property or commercial property. Florida law requires that the notice must be served in person either by the landlord, landlord's agent, the Sheriff or a Florida licensed process server or sent via certified mail return receipt or overnight mail. Be sure to retain the proof of service for your records.
Statutory notice times for eviction of Florida residential and commercial tenants are as follows:
Once the tenant pays the rent or cures the default within the prescribed time, you cannot evict the tenant.
If your tenant does not make full payment or leave the property or cure the non-compliance, then you will have to institute an eviction process by filing an Eviction Complaint and Eviction Summons with the court in the county where the property is located. You cannot change the locks or remove the tenant's property from the premises without obtaining a Judgment for Possession from the court. There will be a hearing set by the court, and the tenant has a chance to answer the complaint and claim legal defenses. If the judge rules in your favor, you must take the judgment and the Writ of Possession to the Sheriff's office. The Sheriff's office enforces the judgment by serving the tenant and making sure the tenant vacates the property. There may be a fee charged by the Sheriff's office for their services. The tenant is liable for the past rent and your fees and costs incurred in connection with the eviction. As a landlord, you must strictly comply with Florida eviction laws, or you will have to start the eviction process all over again. Delays cost you money and time. So it is a good idea to hire a landlord/tenant attorney so there are no mistakes or delays.
It is recommended that you hire a Florida attorney to prepare and file the eviction paperwork because the attorney is an expert at eviction laws. The process will be more efficient, smoother and quicker. This way you can concentrate on getting the property ready for a new tenant.

The working title of this film was Son of Cochise. Onscreen credits acknowledge the contribution of the National Park Service of the U.S. Dept. of the Interior, which cooperated with filming at Arches National Monument Park, near Moab, UT. Exteriors were also filmd in California, according to contemporary sources. The picture was available to exhibitors in 3-D, 2-D, and Moropticon 3-D, single-strip. Jeff Chandler, who plays Cochise in the film, also played him in Twentieth Century-Fox's 1950 film Broken Arrow and Universal's 1952 picture Battle at Apache Pass ( entries).
Although there is no evidence that Cochise had a son named Taza, in 1882, his son Nachise joined Geronimo, Chato, and other Apache leaders in repeatedly breaking out of reservations, conducting raids, and eluding generals George Crook and Nelson Miles. In 1886 Geronimo and his followers surrendered for the last time. Hollywood Reporter news items add Abel Fernandez, David Sharpe and Russ Conklin to the cast, but their appearance in the final film has not been confirmed.

Detection of oral squamous cell carcinoma and cervical lymph node metastasis using activatable near-infrared fluorescence agents
Objective: To assess the feasibility of optical imaging using activatable near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) agents to detect oral cancer and cervical lymph node metastasis in vivo. Design: In vivo study. Setting: University medical center. Subjects: Female nude mice aged 4 to 6 weeks. Intervention: Luciferase-expressing OSC-19-luc cells were injected into the tongues of nude mice. A control group of nude mice was injected in the tongue with a physiologic saline solution. Tumor growth was followed by bioluminescence imaging. After 3 weeks, animals were randomly allocated to intravenous administration of 1 of 2 activatable NIRF agents: ProSense680 or MMPSense680. Fluorescence imaging of the mice was performed, and the tumor to background ratio (TBR) was determined on histologic sections of the tongue and cervical lymph nodes after resection at necropsy. Main Outcome Measure: Fluorescence signals. Results: The fluorescence signals in tongue tumor and cervical lymph node metastases were significantly higher than those in control animals. The mean (SD) TBR of ProSense680 in the tongue was 15.8 (8.1) and in the lymph nodes was 11.8 (3.6). For MMPSense680, the mean (SD) TBR in the tongue was 18.6(9.4) and in the lymph nodes was 10.5(4.0). Conclusions: Oral cancer and cervical lymph node metastases can be detected by targeting increased proteolytic activity at the tumor borders using NIRF optical imaging. These NIRF agents could be used for real-time image-guided surgery, which has the potential to improve the complete surgical resection of oral cancer.

From flipquiz
John Dalziel's insight:
Many educators use Google forms as their "go to" tool to create different types of quizzes, questionnaires and polls.
Anything they create on Forms will be automatically saved to their Google Drive so they can access, view, and edit it anytime they want.
For something different...
FlipQuiz is a web tool that allows Educators to easily create gameshow-style boards for test reviews within learning environments.
All boards created can be saved for later use.
Educators can also share their boards up on-screen and have learners work on them collaboratively.
Watch the demo at https://flipquiz.me/demo to see what the gameshow-style board looks like.
The final plus - It's FREE!
NOTE: There is the option to upgrade to FlipQuiz PRO - charges, for the upgrade, can be paid monthly or yearly.
Llandrillo Library's curator insight, November 21, 4:33 AM
Create new quiz reviews for free - Flip Quiz boards can also be saved for reuse.
GoalsOnTrack is a robust and comprehensive smart goal setting software program that helps you set, track and share goals, manage tasks, track time, build habits, create vision board, keep goal journal, and achieve more success in reaching both personal and business goals.
John Dalziel's insight:
Not all learners are created equal.
Learners that perform well, tend to be those who are self-motivated and who love learning for learning's sake.
They take notes in lectures, not because they have to but because they want to, and they set themselves goals and hold themselves accountable for meeting them.
However we're also aware that it's easy to lose focus if they don't have something to keep them on track.
That's where GoalsOnTrack comes into play.
The GoalsOnTrack application can be accessed through both the web and through a smartphone application and it's all about helping learners set and stick to SMART (specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and timely) goals.
Bigger goals can be broken up into smaller chunks so that they're easier to swallow, and users can also take notes on their goals and their progress or track their progress offline.
NOTE: It isn't FREE - approx £52 a year at the time posting this (Less than £5 a month or 15p per day).
The iPhone/iPad app is available at https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/goalsontrack-app/id882585785?mt=8 and the Android App at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.goalsontrack.android&hl=en_GB
Both apps require an active account via the website.
Not everyone needs to use an app to set and achieve their goals – but most people will at the very least feel some benefit.
Make animated videos on-line for your learners with GoAnimate. Create animated marketing videos, sales videos, explainer videos, training videos and elearning videos. Make video presentations and produce video advertising. Use our powerful animation software to increase the ROI on your video.
John Dalziel's insight:
One of the many new tools for eLearning development is GoAnimate to Add Animation to your eLearning Whether educators want to create...
- an animated whiteboard video (moving hand draws objects on your screen right before your eyes!), or
- a more character-based video (animated characters walk, move, talk, and emote),
...GoAnimate makes it possible.
Even for those of us with limited or no drawing skill or knowledge of how to create animation.
Some Educators are integrating GoAnimate clips with screen captures (e.g. created using Captivate or other software).
This can be done by using GoAnimate's Camera Effects to zoom in on the screen of a PC, until the initial image of the screen capture is full size. That's when the GoAnimate video ends and the screen capture starts.
By creating and/or integrating GoAnimate videos within eLearning, Educators can add humour, engagement, and a fun element that learners will love.
But what may be more important to educators is they can publish their projects as fully SCORM-compliant training that can be uploaded to their LMS, with all of the record-keeping and reporting that they may need.
Yes it will take some time but it's well worth giving it a try.
AutoMastery is a Google Forms Add-On that allows the Form owner to send learners assignments based on their score on a Google Form.
John Dalziel's insight:
As Educators, you'll be aware that...
- administering a quiz,
- sorting the scores,
- then trying to ensure learners get appropriate assignments (personalised Learning), based on the scores,
...takes a lot of time! AutoMastery is a new Google Forms add-on, that automates all of those tasks so practitioners can spend time facilitating and following up with learners who need extra help. The AutoMastery add-on allows users to automatically differentiate assignments for learners based on the score they receive on a Google Forms quiz.
- set a mastery score and a beginner level score.
Learners who score...
- at or above mastery will receive a link to an extension activity.
- at or below the beginner level will receive an assignment that is designed to fit their needs and help them build the necessary skills to move to the progression level.
- above beginner but below mastery will receive an assignment that is designed to bring them up to the mastery level.
...All assignments will be sent to the learners through an automated email.
NOTE: When installing the AutoMastery add-on, users are likely see a warning message that says the app has not been approved by Google and to only install it if you know and trust the developer. I'm assured this is just a glitch that will be worked out soon!
Once installed, users will need to configure AutoMastery.
During this step users will set the mastery and beginner scores and add the links to the three different assignments they've have selected.
Find out more at http://www.maryellenwest.org/automastery.html
AutoMastery has the potential to be used, by educators, across all subject areas; must be worth trying out.

John Dalziel's insight:
The iSLCollective video quiz maker is a 'free web-based tool that allows Education Practitioners to create interactive video quizzes around YouTube and Vimeo videos.
This is how it works, either...
- Register and login (It's FREE)
- choose videos from YouTube or Vimeo.
- write questions that will pop up throughout the video.
- can also add a lesson plan, vocabulary list, and discussion questions. or...
There is also an option for Practitioners to...
- search for already-made video quizzes in the iSLCollective library.
- tailor the quiz questions to meet the needs of their learners'.
Once the new or tailored video quiz is ready, Practitioners...
- click on 'publish' and
- provide data about the video such as title, summary, lesson type, level, etc.
Video quizzes created through iSLCollective provide different 'play mode' options.
Learners can...
- watch the video without quiz,
- play video quiz in interactive mode,
- use the Casino game mode, or
- play it in non-interactive mode.
There are several reasons why Practitioners would want to try out iSLCollective in their learning environments.
- the quizzes allow Practitioners to focus on their learners during class, rather than handling the video.
- the iSLCollective video quiz maker gives them a break from keeping track of video pauses, printing the questions beforehand, etc., and
- the interactivity and gamification adds playfulness to video work
- with various play modes (e.g. the classic Casino game where you bet on the right answer) and features like the tapping game where students tap on objects seen in the paused video screen.
It's a great homework/flipped learning tool as well!

Make voice notes and comments on any site!
John Dalziel's insight:
Our voice is one of the most powerful tools we possess, but, when providing feedback to learners, educators tend to default to writing instead of talking.
Yes, there are definitely times when writing is the way to go, but there are other situations when spoken words can have a dramatic impact.
Talk and Comment is a Chrome extension that allows users to provide voice comments on any site or app.
This is a great way to provide feedback to learners.
This "Talk and Comment" free extension lets users record and send voice notes on all sites (Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, Github, Gmail, Google+, Wordpress, ...), in a easy way.
The resulting Voice notes can be played even if others don't have the extension installed.
To find out more, take a look at the video at https://www.youtube.com/embed/85yPcWnRvHg
Also available for Android at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.talkandcomment.android&referrer=utm_source%3Dsite%26utm_medium%3DtacHomepage
This was my first effort - http://talkandcomment.com/p/02aacb94e558dd96317057b0 (voice note)
1: Close and then restart Google Chrome after adding the Talk and Comment extension and
2: Turn off when not in use.

John Dalziel's insight:
As Education becomes increasingly digital, Educational Practitioners need to find quick and innovative ways to providing timely feedback.
Timely feedback is an important aspect of increasing learner engagement.
Learners need to know what they are doing well and what they need to improve. Educators are aware that when grading in an on-line environment, this can be a very difficult and time consuming task.
CheckMark reduces the amount of time spent adding comments and allows practitioners to provide learners with better feedback.

Welcome to Pear Deck Slides Add-on! Now you can add Formative Assessments and interactive questions to your Google Slides.
John Dalziel's insight:
Pear Deck for Google Slides makes it easier than ever to reach 100% learner engagement!
Education practitioners will love the 100% participation and learner engagement they get with Pear Deck.
The Pear Deck for Google Slides Add-on lets users add Formative Assessment questions right from the Google Slides editor!
Don't have passive learners, just looking at presentation slides. Let them interact with them on their own devices during presentations.
You can do the same thing inside Pear Deck's website - https://www.peardeck.com/ - as well.
Yes, presenting from the front of the room all the time is a very Sage-on-the-stage way of teaching, but it still has its place. And when learners are interacting individually, they're way more locked in to what's going on.
The 30-day free trial of paid features unlocks a heap of interactive slide types, like...
- warm-up,
- temperature,
- reflection,
- exit ticket,
- drawing response,
- text response and
- number response.
The free version includes...
- multiple-choice,
- number response and
- text response slides and
...an unlimited number of slide decks.
By adding interactive slides to a presentation, practitioners get instant feedback from learners and learners are actively interacting with the session instead of passively listening.
Take a look at How Pear Deck works at https://www.youtube.com/embed/evoJy4WcReM
Must be worth a look...
Free text to speech online app with natural voices, convert text to audio and mp3, for personal and commercial use
John Dalziel's insight:
Many Learning Providers are looking for FREE text to speech (TTS) technology web tools that do not require downloading software and can be used on Chromebooks, laptops or computers.
TTS technology is helpful for English Language Learners (ELL), learners who struggle with dyslexia and can be used by all learners to...
- assist them with reading,
- assist them with their own writing and, with an upgrade...
- create mp3 audio files,
Natural Reader - https://www.naturalreaders.com/index.html - is an on-line application that supports pdf, txt, doc, docx, rtf and epub files.
This one stands out because the spoken speech sounds so natural (something that is hard to get with artificial speech).
The free version of Natural Reader will give users 20 minutes with premium voices per day.
Users can select...
- their preferred "reader Voice", from the drop down menu and/or
- the speed at which the text is read.
Has to be worth a closer look... or should that be listen?
Get rid of all the fluff, distractions and sometimes-dodgy content around YouTube videos by using NicerTube. Works like Magic!

NicerTube is free, easy-to-use, and allows users to make as many videos as they would like; however, it does contain advertisements.
Magisto online video editor is the easiest and fastest video maker. Make inspiring video stories and business videos in minutes, with Magisto video editing
John Dalziel's insight:
Magisto is a tool for making short marketing videos but Educational Practitioners can use it for microlearning in a workplace in two ways:
- Making educational videos for courses.
- getting learners to make videos to revise the material they've learned.
This type of 'assignment' is more fun, so learners will be more excited to do it.
Practitioners can use the assignment as a final project, and boost the learners' motivation by making it a contest for the best or most creative video.
Another worth a closer look.
