These salary numbers seem crazy.

Thanks Noah. I had the same thoughts. It seems the average teacher salary reported varies widely district to district around metro Atlanta. Here’s a look at neighboring counties. If/when I get a chance I’ll do some digging and see how they came up with the numbers.

Cobb – $48,372.50
DeKalb – $82,488.50
Fulton (non-APS) – $38,759.80
Gwinnett – $45, 680.30
Clayton – $81,138.60
Douglas – $125,846.00

All I know is if grade school teachers are bringing home $100K a year, I’m in the wrong business.

Looks pretty awesome, but that salary number seems a bit high. According to the APS website the max salary for a teacher with a Phd is $111,000. So, there’s no way the average is $94,000. http://www.atlanta.k12.ga.us/page/1172

For #2, check out the app Photosynth (by microsoft !?) … it does the trick for me, and it’s free.

[...] Wahrscheinlich haben viele Journalisten im Zuge der Ägypten-Recherche das erste Mal von Audioboo gehört. Der Guardian Journalist Matthew Weaver, der dem Guardian Mitte 2009 Audioboo gezeigt hat, nutzte das Tool um Gespräche mit Korrespondenten und Augenzeugen am Telefon mitzuschneiden und zu veröffentlichen. Das Cairo-Team von Al Jazeera nutzte Audioboo für kurze Berichte direkt von vor Ort. Sowohl Audioboo, als auch die Souncloud-App für das iPhone bieten mitterlweile die direkte Veröffentlichung von Audios an. Bearbeiten kann man diese zwar nicht mehr, dafür ist der Prozess aber kinderleicht. Noch unklar ist, welcher der beiden Kontrahenten massenkompatibler wird. Vgl. Audioboo gears up to take on SoundCloud in the year of Social Audio. BTW: Die Videostreams mit Mobiltelefonen (bspws. via Bambuser) aus Ägypten waren meistens ziemlich sehr verwackelt und wenig brauchbar, oder hat da jemand andere tolle Beispiele? Hier – so oder so – ein: How to Stream Live Video from Your Cell Phone. [...]

My time with Patch ended last month after nearly 18 months of steady assignments. I’d heard that Patch sites were hiring one full-time reporter and thought for sure each local editor would select his or her reporter from the freelance staff, who live in and know the area. That didn’t happen, I understand from three editors, who say the new “contract” reporters work 35 hours per week and have to juggle assignments. One editor told me he can’t cover everything and has to decide which assignments are important. Important to him or to the community he covers? What happens to Patch’s desire for hyper local news? It surely does sound like Patch was mismanaged in that regional editors were “hands off” the hiring process and left it to the local editors, who already had full plates. All this, and only two years old.
