My New Cat in the Hat Classroom Theme!!!

While some of you are winding down your school year, I still have two months to go... and I decided that a classroom redesign was in order.  Ive come across so many cute classroom themes online (jungle, wild west, pirates), but none of them quite worked with what I already had in my classroom.

Finally, it hit me... I needed to make give a classroom a Dr. Seuss theme, and since my favorite Seuss book is Cat in the Hat, I used that as my inspiration for my room!


Update 5/14/2013: For those of you who have been asking for the set, I have redesigned to abide by all copyright laws and reposted it here.  It looks different from the pictures below but its still super cute!




My first order of business was the "Word Wall" or actually, in my case, the "Word Window."  The background was already the perfect shade of blue, I just needed to add Sally and Nick!

Those blue and green blurred out papers at the bottom are the poems from the book "No More Letter of the Week" and a picture of the kid that was assigned that letter back in September/October.  If you havent seen the book yet, it totally revamped the way I teach phonics and it made a major difference for the kids!


I ended up doing this using my smart board!  I pulled up the image of Sally and Nick onto my computer, hung bulletin board paper up on the smart board, and traced the image.  Nice and easy!



Next, I needed to revamp my morning meeting resources.  I use a growing number line for how many days weve been in school, so I started with that.  I used my favorite font, and put red circles around the numbers you say when you count by fives, and "Cat in the Hat" hats on the numbers you say when you count by tens.  And yes, I re-did the numbers for the place value chart so the font matched!


After that, I redesigned my "Morning Helper" list.  Each day, one of my students teaches morning meeting.  I use a list posted on the wall as a rotating schedule to keep it fair for everyone!  My school has a poster machine that prints in color, so I was able to make this sign very large... to given you an idea of size, that scroll is a piece of legal paper!


Then, I re-did my months of the year sign!  Even though Im not in a bilingual class, the kids love learning other languages, so I teach them the months of the year in Spanish as well!  Again, this was printed on our wonderful poster machine!


Obviously, I needed to do a sign for the days of the week also.



I stick the days of the week to the wall using velcro. I also have magnetic tape on the back of the Days of the Week so that they can stick to my metal cabinet.


Heres a overview of this part of my morning meeting area:


Heres a close up of the centers groups that you see in the right hand side of that photo.  I made it look like the Cat in the Hat was presenting the center groups, and I love the texture I put on the word centers!

 
I put that same texture on the new title I made for "Our Schedule" below.



I also made names for the days of the week that match the colors/textures of the other signs I made for the months/days.


Another main part of our morning meeting is "More and Less Math."  We look at the number of days weve been in school and figure out what day it will be when we have one more, and what day it was when we had one less.  We model this will the sticks from our place value chart and reference our number line in the process.  The kids love it.  And... now it clearly goes along with the theme!


I know, I really went overboard!  And Im not even done showing you everything yet!  Now that morning meeting is over... you have to check out what I did in the rest of the class!

We do a routine during independent reading where we read with a buddy.  The students read for three minutes independently, then for three minutes partner one ("Thing 1") reads, and for three minutes partner two ("Thing 2") reads.  I have these signs at the students seats to remind them who their partner is and give a constant visual of which partner is reading first.


Update 5/12/2012: The theme pack is up on TPT for $4 and I made a freebie to go along with it!

To view the pack on TPT, click the picture below:


To get the freebie, click the picture below!  There are now two versions of this freebie thanks to Busy Bee, who left a great comment below!  Thank you for pointing out how this could be confusing for students!



They may look the same, but the location of "ten less" and "ten more" is switched so it mimics the  look of a 100 chart and corresponds with the Envision Math Program!

Download Redsn0w 0 9 9b1 Major New Updates Awesome !

MusclNerd of iPhone Dev team has released Redsn0w 0.9.9b1. As we reported you that Redsn0w 0.9.6b1 is loaded with major updates. Redsn0w 0.9.9b1 wont ask you to choose ipsw file when you jailbreak your iPhone, iPod or iPad as it will automatically detect the best solution for you (tethered or untethered jailbreak).



The only case that you will be asked to point to ipsw file is in iOS beta versions as it isnt available for public. Redsn0w 0.9.9b1 will allow you to verfiy / submit your SHSH file to Cydia. Below you will find all new features of Redsn0w 0.9.9b1 officially from iPhone Dev-team blog.
A bunch of new features!
  • uses DFU mode to try to automatically determine which device and FW you have
  • fetches pieces of public IPSWs from Apple (once). Non-public IPSWs must be provided manually (once). It then caches those pieces for future use.
  • “Just boot” is a tethered boot. Uses whatever “Preferences” you’ve set for boot logo and kernel boot-args
  • “Pwned DFU” puts your device in a pwned DFU state for some of the iTunes stuff detailed below
  • “Recovery fix” gets past 1015 types of errors (when baseband portion of restore fails). Should work on iOS5 beta too
  • “Select IPSW” is for picking non-public IPSWs, or overriding auto-detection
  • “SHSH blobs” has a bunch of options…
  • “Fetch” - fetch current PARTIAL blobs on device. Should complete in under 10 or 15 seconds. Puts the set of PARTIAL of blobs on your computer as a plist. Checks if Cydia already has a full set for this device and build. If not, it submits this PARTIAL set and returns Cydia’s acknowledgement or rejection
  • “Verify” - cryptographically verifies existing blob files from either redsn0w, TinyUmbrella, or Cydia server. You can select a whole bunch of blobs to verify at once if you want (like the TinyUmbrella directory)
  • “Submit” - both verifies and submits one or more blob files to Cydia. This lets you copy your entire TinyUmbrella cache of blobs up to the Cydia server
  • “Query” - queries the Cydia server for all available FULL or PARTIAL blobs for a given set of ECIDs
  • “Stitch” - stitches either FULL or PARTIAL blobs to a STOCK or CUSTOM IPSW
  1. FULL blobs stitched to a STOCK IPSW gives you a completely self-contained signed IPSW that iTunes will accept without any tricks (no need to go into pwned DFU mode, no need to start TinyUmbrella TSS server, no need to redirect to Cydia server for blobs)
  2. PARTIAL blobs stitched to any IPSW requires you to go into pwned DFU mode before running iTunes. No need to start TU or use Cydia though.
  3. Stitching either FULL or PARTIAL blobs to a CUSTOM IPSW also requires a pwned DFU start before iTunes restores. No need to start TU or use Cydia though.
  4. Stitching is NOT yet supported on iPhones! Need to work out the baseband part of the restore process.
  5. Will eventually support fetching the blobs directly from Cydia instead of a file on your computer
Heres how to use Redsn0w 0.9.6b1 :

New world Students Share Lessons Uncommon Internship


New world Students Share Lessons Uncommon Internship

Its the end of summer and many students are coming out of a brief dip into the professional world  working alongside adults and performing entry level tasks, only to return back to classes in the fall. Some are paid, some are not  some provide both learning opportunities and a chance to build ones network, others less so. Across the board, most students will say that an internship is a better investment of time than sitting at home, or working a regular summer job. 

But some students have found summer experiences that are, arguably, better for their careers — especially those students interested in entrepreneurship, not joining corporate life.

I asked seven students who participated in Lightspeed Venture Partners summer fellowship — a program that behaves like a startup accelerator without taking equity from the teams — how the experience compared to a summer internship, and what knowledge theyll be taking back to school.
Would you consider a non-traditional summer program? Tell us in the comments.

Q&A With Lightspeed Venture Partners Summer Fellows

How did you hear about the program?
I read Y Combinators Hacker News quite a bit. One day when I was browsing, I came across this. We decided to apply and the rest is history. - William Zhou, Planboard

Several of our friends have gone through the Lightspeed program and we heard only good things. - Feross Aboukhadijeh, peerCDN

Through the Stanford Bitcoin Group, a small collection of 8 students with a common interest in Bitcoin. - Matthew Rials, TryBTC

Are you ever too young to start a company?
I think so. At Stanford, various friends were poised to drop out or take time off of school to start a venture. I cant help but think that these folks may have missed out on some of the wonders of American college life. - Giancarlo Daniele, Drive Pulse

Youre never too young to start a company. I started my first company when I was in Grade 10 in high school. My former Co-Founder, David Kim, and I started a web design firm. Slowly, our client base grew, but we were tired of all of their rules. We decided to scratch our own itch. We ended up launching Draftboard for the designer community [2] in Grade 12. That just shows you how young we were in our ventures. - William Zhou, Planboard

Will you continue with your project after the summer is over?
We certainly plan to carry on our project as we transition back to Stanford, once summer has ended. We are very passionate about the notion of spreading Bitcoin to the world and easing the average users transition into the new currency, and we will continue to work on TryBTC for as long as that takes. We have already raised enough money to keep things running through school, and our investment terms allow for us to remain enrolled in classes. - Matthew Rials, TryBTC

Absolutely. During this summer we’ve had amazing traction with Contastic – our mobile CRM product. The team has grown from 1 person (just me) to six during the 10 weeks. Together, we’ve been able to build a complete product and land pilots at several fortune 500 companies. With the support of Lightspeed and our early customers we’ve been able to develop a truly unique product that will improve the lives of salespeople worldwide. - Cy Khormaee, Contastic

Why did you choose this program over a regular internship?
There are few more rewarding ways to spend working hours than to directly think up and build products and wait to see how people use them. You cant usually do this at a traditional internship. - Giancarlo Daniele, Drive Pulse

Theres nothing in the world like working for yourself — no pointy haired boss, no managers — just complete control over how you spend your time and what you make of your life. Starting a company is a high-stress, high-risk decision, but its also high in learning, impact, and fun. We dont wish that we were doing anything else. - Feross Aboukhadijeh, peerCDN

What did you learn over the course of the summer?
While its true that I became a better programmer, the majority of what I learned this summer would fall into the "professional development" category. There are an astonishing number of soft skills that are absolutely crucial to managing a company, and the people that work for it. 

For instance, taking a product from prototype to production involves managing relationships with hardware designers and manufacturers, electronics designers and manufacturers, packaging designers, retailers, your own internal sales team, your product development team of engineers, your lawyers, your investors, and co-founders. If for example, you didnt know what to look for in a designer when you interviewed your first, you certainly get a better sense by the time you speak to the tenth. Lastly, the most empowering takeaway from the summer is the following: 

I validated that being an entrepreneur is what I was born to do. Whether in this venture or another I have equipped myself with the skills I need to be a successful visionary and leader, and am incredibly grateful for the opportunity Lightspeed gave me to do so. - Aaron Konigsberg, Lapshark via

Make All Links Open In A New Window

Make All Links Open In A New Window If you write your website, as I do, with lots of hyperlinks to other weblogs and web websites, you may create it practical for your visitors to perspective those other weblogs or web websites then come back to your website. Instead of watching the other weblog or website in the same screen, you start the other weblog or website in a new screen. When people completes watching the other weblog or website, he / she basically ends the new screen. The content that he or she was studying, in your website, is right there in front of them.

You can, in the same way, do this with images. If you want people to perspective images, then come back to the written text in your content, you start the image in a new screen.

Instead of programming each individual weblink to a weblog, image, or website, you can create all hyperlinks within your website start in a new screen. Simply add a "<base target=_blank />" to your website, in the headlines.

Find
<head>

And change that to:
<head>
<base target=_blank />

But, consider this properly. If you build your website intensely using hypertext, as I build my weblogs, do you really want your visitors having to close a screen everytime they complete studying a attached content in your blog? Do this with attention.

While people is in your website, give them one choice of what to study whenever they want. If they basically simply click a weblink to study some details, let them study the details. Then, they basically simply select the Back option, and come back to where they left the past content. Only if people is making your website, to study another website for details, should you keep your website start in the current screen, and start a new screen for the new website.

Of course, if you have an extremely large amount of hyperlinks that you would like this way, maybe in a few linklists, you could coordinator the linklists in another weblog, and include the other weblog in an iframe or maybe a sequence of content attached to your public weblog. Maybe such as the iframe in your sidebar would work for you.

iOS 4 3 1 bb prevention new TinyUmbrella you

 

First off I want to congratulate @i0n1c on his magic. Great job bud!

One question Ive been getting quite often is "Will TinyUmbrella prevent iPhone 4 baseband updates for X version?" The simple answer to this question is: Yes. TinyUmbrella will, as far as I can tell, ALWAYS prevent iPhone baseband updates for the iPhone 4 GSM. This is due to a flaw in the way Apple tried preventing unauthorized baseband installs. They introduced a baseband shsh but unwittingly (or on purpose I dont know for sure) put into place a means for us to restore a firmware and prevent the bb update by merely ignoring the bb shsh request.

Now, that said, iOS 4.3.1 seems to have some kind of incompatibilities (the only notable one was mentioned by @musclenerd warning ultrasn0w unlockers to wait until a fix is pushed for 4.3.1 problems). This is likely why those of you that updated to 4.3.1 using TinyUmbrella are seeing oddities ie. One signal bar wherever you go. Hopefully, the incompatibility can be patched in the iOS layer allowing those of us that do not rely on unlocks to keep the old baseband as we all usually prefer :)
