Cheating Online - Academic dishonesty

These are some of my recent thoughts on Cheating Online - Academic Dishonesty posted elsewhere as part of my learning to be an online instructor. I felt compelling enough to be shared with the rest of the world. So here it is. 

Innovation, Social Media. And vice-versa.

Innovation and Social Media. Both have been around for many years. Think about the discovery of the newspaper, or the telephone or just about one of the daily devices or appliance we are so used to now.Hard to believe isn't it. What various newspapers, magazines, SW & MW channels on the radio were to my grandfather the new media including feedreaders, Twitter, and other social media channels are the same for me today. There nodifferent than the newer ones have the ability to cut the time traveled and the agility with fancy delivery. Same thing.

German Cars Vs. Japanese Cars

It's only German cars for me. It's simple, it's not only about the efficiency of the factories, reliability or anything like that - it's also about how the car makes you feel. I've yet to drive a Japanese car that would give me the same feeling of quality and consideration for the needs of the user.

Common Twitter Terms '@, #, RT, ...'

Well I've been searching for definitions on now commonly used Twitter symbols and terms a while ago, and thought of them again so decided to post them here for easy reference.

Argh F%@$!^$ Delta!

It was a tough vacation going out and coming in, but the rest in between (without Delta) was just heavenly. I am beyond belief that how such a large airline employ so many incompetent, irresponsible and incapable workforce. From Atlanta to Calgary, no one in Delta customer service is either knowledgeable and nor helping. This is the second time around Delta lost our checked-in bags on the same trip. After waiting at the customs for few hours past the midnight hour, and that too after a gruesome 10 hour in-flight-and-transit journey we finally gave up and came back with filled delayed-bags-forms at the customs (courtesy Customs and Air Canada rep as Delta folks were missing-in-the-F-action). It is our third day without any bags in our site or at our doorsteps, and no follow-up and courtesy call from Delta's reps yet of what happened and what is going to happen next. Is Delta doing this on purpose or is it in its business nature well embedded in? In any case, someone's gotta give at Delta on this, and yes, some price we paid for the trip to make it this memorable. I hope someone 's listening at F%@$!^$ Delta!!
