Weblogs and Really Simple Syndication in Education This is a great article on weblogs and RSS in education.

motion Prius Awards + synergy. Check out all of the awards the Prius has been getting with the title link. And this is what the Prius is all about: the synergy betweeen gas-engine, electric motor, generator and traction battery. One reason it works so well is that here is no conventional starter, where gears grind together to start up the engine. I am told that the Prius starts the conventional gas engine via magnetic induction instead of gears. This is very important because the engine is turned on and off many times during a drive. Every time you come to a standstill for more than a few seconds, the engine is turned off automatically. If you should need to move quickly there is the electric motor to get you going and the engine is turned on right away as well. All of this happens automatically and you would never even notice the interplay unless you choose to look at the display. [Ottmar Liebert] 10:35:38 PM
