BLOOM'S TAXONOMY EVOLVES BLOOMIN' PEACOCK!

I came across ilearntechnology blogsite through the buzzworthy section of my website educationet . This illustration of Bloom's Taxonomy, which i call now Bloom's Evolution, as Bloomin' Peacock by Kelly Tenkely, I say,  is catchy and very creative. Scrolling down further and the illustration below gave me a good laugh for its clever integration of technology in every stage of the taxonomy.

Don't you think so?

TIME FOR BREAK: SHRIMP SCAMPI AND DRAGON ROLLS AT THE ORLEANS HOTEL & CASINO, LAS VEGAS


I know there are lots of new places to go now in Vegas for fabulous dining (ah! dining experience to the max!). Yet there are really places where you keep coming back because they just suit your taste buds and ambiance.


Here's a couple for me .....





This is Shrimp Scampi (but not the one from Big Al's Oyster Bar at the Orleans Hotel and Casino in Vegas) - my favorite. Others may find Big Al's Shrimp Scampi to be mediocre but to my taste buds, it's the best! the way those shrimps are sauteed with fresh herbs, garlic, and creamy white wine sauce over linguine... it's just perfect for me...creamy with a bite.






Also, I may not be that much on meat (specially beef) but Canal Street Restaurant's Filet Mignon is lusciously succulent as well.






And if you are a fan of japanese foods, try the dragon roll at Koji Sushi Bar and China Bistro still at The Orleans. Though the dragon roll image here is not from Koji, but it's a foretaste of a gustatory bliss in Vegas.


BON APPETIT!

CKC FOUNDATION DAY STAGE SHOW

it's on...... the 2010 CKC Foundation Day preparation days!

So,..... it's Foundation Day Celebration again this November for CKCians. What makes it "grandioso" is the bounty of talents from all of you -  students and staff.

The most eye-catching part of  last year was the 10-Minute-On-The-Spot -Water-Color-Painting-on-Stage on a 4x8- feet-drawing-slate. It was the first in the history of Stage Shows of CKC. Only 4 brave creative students participated out of a possible hundred of students with visual arts talent.

This year, I'm looking for talented students to do the SAND ART live performance on stage.  To all interested students, come visit the office for an interview anytime from Tuesday to Friday.

Let's do it again!

SYMBALOO - USER-FRIENDLY BOOKMARKING

There's one PLE that I find easy to work on - SYMBALOO . Easy on the eyes, not too much graphics (which I prefer but not to interpret as short of aesthetics though) and simple steps in organizing bookmarks. If you are the type who likes moderate graphic presentation of stuff, then I guess you should give it a try. SYMBALOO.
