| Jul 29, 2010 08:45:41 | CORE K12 Releases Seedplay(R), a Social Utility Designed to Transform Education for the iGeneration /PRNewswire/ - CORE K12, an international education company dedicated to providing useful, practical technology solutions to K-12 educators, announced today the release of Seedplay. In the face of unprecedented economic challenges, Seedplay provides educators with a low-cost, high-tech solution that maximizes student engagement, enrollment, and achievement. Seedplay leverages the iGeneration's natural affinity for social networking to link learning to leadership. Seedplay empowers every student to identify a real world problem facing their school or community, which they can then address with a solution in the form of a project. Students form teams, launch their projects, and tap into a global support network of micro-funders and fans who help them reach their goals. Students grow this support network over time and use it in future projects. Developed by Harlan Gaston and marketed by CORE K12, Seedplay is designed to help students identify a need within their community, propose a solution in the form of a project plan, form a team of peer collaborators, and reach a variety of potential funders, micro-donors and stakeholders across the globe who support them in completing each project. Teachers use the Seedplay curriculum to guide students through a process of creating a project plan, which includes action plans, budgets and organizational models to govern each project. "The building blocks of every successful human endeavor are part of the Seedplay curriculum," explains Gaston. "Entrepreneurs, executives, researchers, and virtually all professionals at the top of their industry utilize a particular skill set that we offer students who use Seedplay. We created the program as a platform to engage and empower the full spectrum of students across curricula, from the most at-risk to those identified as gifted. In any case, we have real data showing that students taking part in Seedplay are raising their education to the next level." Kevin Howell, CORE K12 president, adds, "During our recent pilot program at Crenshaw High School in Los Angeles Unified School District, we worked with a population of 1,800 students, of which more than 40% are in foster care and have an API below 600. Many just don't show up for school or have any incentive to participate once they arrive. Of the 180 students involved with the Seedplay pilot program this summer, all had improved attendance and showed real engagement in their classes. And several students have actual projects that are in the funding stage right now." "Turning around disengaged students while keeping the brightest interested is a real challenge for us," concurs Maynard Brown, teacher at Crenshaw High School Business Academy. "We are always seeking new ways to create learning opportunities that are challenging and enriching. Seedplay fit the bill because it supports learning in a way this generation of students, called the iGeneration, understands and with which they interact on a daily basis. They have grown up understanding social networking and its power to make things happen. Because Seedplay supports a real project for a real cause using real donations, the students aren't playing or simulating, they are doing! We are all looking forward to next year with more students involved." Schools that license Seedplay (www.seedplay.com), currently in beta format) receive full service, in-person and online professional development for administrators and faculty, and a 24/7 help desk. Seedplay offers a supplemental online 'writing across curricula' program to help students develop action plans, budgets, and identify the community or other organization their project will benefit. Once a project is submitted to their faculty sponsor for final approval, the projects are published to the project gallery on Seedplay.com and can be shared and discovered by the public. Anyone interested in funding the project logs in and offers a donation in any denomination as low as $0.01 to the project of their choice, using a credit card or PayPal account. Others will simply become 'Followers' of the project and can offer moral support, and securely answer questions from the project's founding team. All communications are public and security protocols protect the identity of the children, while enabling them to invite their support network to their next project. Donors come from around the globe. The projects eventually travel full-circle when the students receive feedback from the stakeholders. This is gathered through surveys regarding the value generated from their projects at various steps along the way, right through to project completion. Schools license Seedplay based on enrollment, with pricing available on a school or district basis. Seedplay is effective across the curriculum, but is especially well suited to drop-out prevention and community service programs. Call 888-778-7737 for more information on Seedplay pricing. CORE K12 press contact is Peggy Fernau at 405-258-7328 or Peggy@Lanierthinking.com. About CORE K12 - Core K12 Education (CORE K12) is a division of CORE ECS, based in the United States.

About Harlan Gaston - Harlan Gaston passed by drug dealers, pimps, prostitutes and gang members to attend high school behind the Nickerson Gardens housing projects each day.

| Jul 28, 2010 12:13:52 | Green IT: Follow the Savings, Not the Jargon When it comes to the jargon-laden "green IT" sector, companies have a common response: meh. But it's the opportunity that companies see to save money via reduced energy costs that's really driving companies to buy green IT products, or gear that can make IT more energy efficient. 
That’s the findings of a report out from research firm Forrester, which found that while only a quarter of the companies surveyed have a dedicated budget specifically for “green IT,” close to three quarters of the companies are actually buying products that reduce the energy consumption of data centers and IT systems. In other words – cut the jargon, follow the savings. And right now, it’s the data center, and its massive energy-sucking ways, that can provide some of the most savings for companies’ energy bills. Forrester says that 70 percent of the companies are already virtualizing servers — replacing server hardware with software — which eliminates the energy consumption of the retired machines. You can bet that virtualization giant VmWare didn’t set out marketing its technology as “green IT.”
About half of the companies are already (or plan to) rearrange the hot and cool aisles in data centers to optimize cooling. Cooling systems for data centers often come in the form of large chillers, and can be responsible for half of the data center’s energy consumption. A quarter of the companies said they had already implemented precision cooling, which is cooling systems targeted at certain sections of the data center. And a third of the companies surveyed have already reduced redundant applications on servers (eliminating unnecessary processing that consumes energy). However, other data center energy innovations aren’t making much of a dent yet. Energy efficient modular data center designs are not being looked at seriously — 77 percent of companies have no plans to implement this on a near term horizon. Direct current power systems (DC), which is a more efficient way to use power, are almost unheard of with 83 percent of companies saying they have no near term plans to implement the tech. While clearly some of the data center energy efficiency tech is more popular than others, startups are still gearing up to sell their energy innovations to corporations. Just this week, GE said it invested in SynapSense, a startup which makes wireless monitoring and management systems that track energy consumption for data centers. Forrester says it’s up to the Chief Information Officer’s leadership to show his/her company that “green IT” isn’t about jargon, but about savings. Forrester recommends using real world case studies as examples, like those from Nike, AT&T, the City of Palo Alto, and UPS, who have shown significant financial savings, via the energy savings of green IT.
