SAN JOSE, CA, April 08, 2014 (Press-News.org) LiberCloud announces a new and unique cloud solution that changes the game in how teachers teach and how students learn. It is the only solution on the market that gives educators flexibility to design their lesson plans 'bottom-up' in addition to a traditional top-down courseware-based approach, and provides tools to create engaging material on their own without the aid of technical experts.
LiberCloud was developed from the ground up with careful testing by administrators and teachers who wanted a solution that would:
1. Improve the workflow between students and teachers
2. Save teachers time and give them more control and flexibility (without the complexity)
3. Help students collaborate and improve their experience with coursework
Customers so far acknowledge that LiberCloud solves a problem that no else does, and that its features, simplicity, and ease of use are outstanding. In addition to helping educators meet the new Common Core standards requirements with its flexible coursework and test designer, another winning feature is the ability for teachers to collaborate in the cloud on coursework design and to reuse and customize each other's coursework and tests for different classrooms, different students, and different needs.
"Our goal is to make teachers more effective by giving them the right tools to succeed. LiberCloud bridges the gap between and borrows from traditional methods, interactive whiteboards, and Learning Management Systems to provide a collaboration and content platform like nothing else. A platform that makes teachers and students feel productive and wows them at the same time. There is nothing else like it." - Felice Curcelli, CEO & Co-Founder, LiberCloud
Specific features of LiberCloud include helping teachers with complex tasks but without the complexity. For example, teachers can:
- Create, publish, share, and collaborate on lesson content
- Create and assign homework and tests
- Enhance coursework with multimedia and interactivity, e.g. create audio-visual tutorials using the LiberCanvas app that can be played like videos
- Create multiple-choice or open questions tests using videos, tutorials and slideshows to introduce or explain each question
- Provide feedback and audio-visual annotations to students' work
- Manage and monitor assignments
LiberCloud is the best solution for teachers who want more flexibility to design and collaborate on coursework and for administrators who want to solve this problem organization-wide.
LiberCloud is a cloud-based content management and collaboration platform that gives teachers new flexibility and control to design innovative, interactive, engaging coursework quickly and easily and to improve the learning experience of students. We help teachers be more effective and students learn better.

A number of serious motorcycle accidents have made headlines in and around the Pittsburgh area recently, emphasizing the importance of motorcycle safety in Pennsylvania.
On March 18, 2014, a South Fork woman was sentenced to prison for up to seven years, and ordered to pay more than $250,000 in restitution for her role in a crash that paralyzed a 42-year-old motorcyclist in Adams Township last year.

Married gay couples in Michigan can file joint bankruptcy, taxes
2014-04-08
Same-sex marriage in Michigan has been a matter of national interest following a series of events that left nearly 300 gay and lesbian couples in a state of matrimonial limbo. The U.S. government announced recently that it will recognize those marriages for purposes of federal law even if the Michigan government does not recognize them at the state level.

Oregon medical marijuana dispensary program approves first applications
2014-04-08
Last year, Oregon Governor John Kitzhaber signed into law a medical marijuana "dispensary bill." Prior to the legislation, those with Oregon Medical Marijuana Patient cards had no legal option to obtain marijuana other than to grow it themselves. And those who sold medical marijuana opened themselves to possible Oregon drug distribution charges.
The legislation gave the Oregon Health Authority until March 2014 to set up a registration system for stores that sell medical marijuana. The OHA was also tasked with creating rules for security and marijuana testing.

Safety and technology: New app designed to reduce risk of bike accidents
2014-04-08
A recent article in The Boston Globe touched on new technological advances that could translate to a decreased risk of bicycle accidents. The advances were designed by engineering students at Northeastern University and replicate some of the safety measures becoming more standard in cars - namely, the ability to warn a biker that a crash is imminent. In response to a potential crash, the bicycle's handlebars would vibrate warning the cyclist to avoid danger.

Teens, dangerous driving practices and Florida law
2014-04-08
Teens are smart enough to know the danger of drinking and driving, but naive enough to choose to take the risk according to an article recently published in Forbes. The conclusion was based on research compiled and reviewed by Liberty Mutual Insurance. The study focused on teens making dangerous decisions while driving, like driving while under the influence of alcohol or texting while behind the wheel.
Such decisions are dangerous, since both are connected to a higher risk of involvement in a car accident.

Obama calls for deportations to be handled more humanely
2014-04-08
President Obama has issued a call for deportations to be handled more humanely in the United States, according to a recent statement from the White House. The President has ordered a system-wide review of the methods used by the Department of Homeland Security to enforce the nation's immigration laws, saying that too many families are subjected to the pain of separation due to the nation's "broken immigration system."
In recent months, Obama has come under increasing pressure from immigrant rights advocates to stop deportations until comprehensive immigration reforms ...
