MOULTRIE — Colquitt County Schools’ web sites have undergone an extensive upgrade, but six days into the new school year only a few parents with children in the system seem to have noticed. Through Monday afternoon, only 101 parents had logged in to school sites, but the system expects those numbers to pick up as school routines get into full gear. The new web site’s ease of use and features also could bring in more visitors. It offers a “wave” at the top of each page, which is similar to the site hosted by Moultrie-Colquitt County Chamber of Commerce. each school also has its own unique colors and mascot in the familiar shape. Through the online parent portal introduced earlier this year they can check on students’ grades as well as attendance and disciplinary records. And individual web sites, which are coming online, will have the feature of alerting parents to upcoming homework assignments and when they are due. Sixth-grade math teacher David Culbreth at Williams Middle School was among the first to activate the homework assignments notification, but others will follow suit, said Emily Nichols, the system’s director of information technology. “We just started school and just showed them how to do this in pre-planning,” she said. “He’s a great example of taking the bull by the horns and going with it.” The main differences parents will notice are the new design features and consistency that runs through the main system site and all the individual school sites, Nichols said. “We tried to have consistency in page location to make it more friendly for our parents who had kids in multiple schools,” she said.

BigMarker.com, a free web conferencing community, launched a platform that takes free communication to the next level. the website aims to become the largest, free virtual meeting community, that connects thinkers with the world.
“Why do people pay to communicate?” Zhu-Song Mei, CEO of BigMarker.com asked. “We consume so much communication daily. the rest of the world can’t afford what we can. There is no inexpensive platform that helps children in Africa learn from a math teacher in Minnesota. none. we fly all across the world to talk. Why? now, we don’t have to. we can create a free community based 100 percent on live communication.”
The website offers several conferencing options and membership services. Members can create unlimited, free conferences—private and public. they can also host events that other users pay to attend, which can generate revenue for the presenter. This is perfect for trained professionals and teachers hosting webinars. Finally, users are able sponsor events where the host pays participants for their attendance and feedback. BigMarker also offers the ability for users to create clubs and host events based on the club’s mission.
With a browser supported system, users never have to download software, buy expensive hardware, or have technical training. Users are able to create events immediately. Any computer with a microphone and speaker can host or attend an event.
To achieve a true international presence, BigMarker has opened global data centers. With an increased volume of users, the site can always offer a high quality service. they aim to use this technology to reach new members all over the world.
Founded in December of 2010, BigMarker is dedicated to the free exchange of ideas and knowledge. they believe that when the world can communicate freely, people will grow and develop together. BigMarker will always offer a free web conferencing service.

As reported by The Loop, Apple has finally responded regarding developers being targeted by patent holding firm Lodsys with notices of infringement and demands for licensing. According to the report, Apple’s General Counsel Bruce Sewell has sent a letter to Lodsys claiming that developers are “undisputedly licensed” for the patent in question.
“Apple is undisputedly licensed to these patents and the App Makers are protected by that license,” wrote Bruce Sewell, Apple Senior Vice President and General Counsel.
While it is unclear exactly how Lodsys will respond to Apple’s demands, it seems clear that Apple is taking steps to protect developers in its App Store ecosystem and will likely take the lead in any potential lawsuits filed over the issue.
Update: The Loop has updated its report with additional quotes from Apple’s response to Lodsys:
“Thus the technology that is targeted in your notice letters is technology that Apple is expressly licensed under the Lodsys patents to offer to Apple’s App Makers. These licensed products and services enable Apple’s App Makers to communicate with end users through the use of Apple’s own licensed hardware, software, APIs, memory, servers, and interfaces, including Apple’s App Store. Because Apple is licensed under Lodsys’ patents to offer such technology to its App Makers, the App Makers are entitled to use this technology free from any infringement claims by Lodsys.”
Update 2: Macworld has now posted the full text of the letter from Apple to Lodsys, which concludes:
Apple requests that Lodsys immediately withdraw all notice letters sent to Apple App Makers and cease its false assertions that the App Makers use of licensed Apple products and services in any way constitute infringement of any Lodsys patent.
