MAX Online

I'm sure you'll be at Adobe MAX next week. I mean, all the stuff going on there, you have to show up, right? Besides, all the cool kids will be there.

But suppose, just for a lark, that you can't make it. Maybe your leg gets caught in a wood chipper and you miss your flight. Maybe you can't find "Los Angeles" on a map. Maybe you'll be having so much fun playing with Flex 4 effects that you forget to go.

What to do?

Well, how about watching MAX online?

There are lots of conference goodies that will be posted in realtime and real-soon-time, so that you can watch them online. In particular:
  • Keynotes: The keynotes on October 5th and 6th will be streamed live.
  • Top Sessions: The top three sessions each day will be recorded and posted by 8 P.M. California time that evening.
  • All Sessions: All of the technical sessions will be recorded next week and will be posted on Sunday, October 11th.
For all of these things, go to the online site to register (http://max.adobe.com/online/), and check back there when its time for the shows.

Sure, it's not as much fun as being there. But it's more fun that getting caught in a wood chipper again.

Women and children overboard

It's the  Catch-22  of clinical trials: to protect pregnant women and children from the risks of untested drugs....we don't test drugs adequately for them. In the last few decades , we've been more concerned about the harms of research than of inadequately tested treatments for everyone, in fact. But for "vulnerable populations,"  like pregnant women and children, the default was to exclude them. And just in case any women might be, or might become, pregnant, it was often easier just to exclude us all from trials. It got so bad, that by the late 1990s, the FDA realized regulations and more for pregnant women - and women generally - had to change. The NIH (National Institutes of Health) took action too. And so few drugs had enough safety and efficacy information for children that, even in official circles, children were being called "therapeutic orphans."  Action began on that, too. There is still a long way to go. But this month there was a sign that

Not a word was spoken (but many were learned)

Video is often used in the EFL classroom for listening comprehension activities, facilitating discussions and, of course, language work. But how can you exploit silent films without any language in them? Since developing learners' linguistic resources should be our primary goal (well, at least the blogger behind the blog thinks so), here are four suggestions on how language (grammar and vocabulary) can be generated from silent clips. Split-viewing Split-viewing is an information gap activity where the class is split into groups with one group facing the screen and the other with their back to the screen. The ones facing the screen than report on what they have seen - this can be done WHILE as well as AFTER they watch. Alternatively, students who are not watching (the ones sitting with their backs to the screen) can be send out of the classroom and come up with a list of the questions to ask the 'watching group'. This works particularly well with action or crime scenes with
