A Big Thank You to All Our Foodista Contributors
We want to give a big thank you to everyone involved in Foodista this past year! We’ve highlighted some of our loyal users who have joined us in our online kitchen and found Foodista helpful to them. A link to our testimonial page can be found here. We continue to work hard at creating tools to help all you passionate food bloggers! Here’s to all of us building the best online cooking encyclopedia! I learned about Foodista shortly after entering this rapidly evolving food blog world and it’s been a great discovery! Not only do I find the information helpful for my posts, I appreciate how easy it is to add my own input and occasional insights. And I really like how easy it is to link the relevant Foodista page to my blog, so that readers can easily jump to recipes and more, from Abiu to Zesting! Thanks, Jeremy Warner http://basiceating.blogspot.com/ Earlier this year I had the chance to attend the International Food Bloggers Conference here in Seattle, sponsored by Foodista and Sur La Table.

It has been just over a week since the devastating earthquake hit Haiti and while this is such a teachable moment for our children to learn empathy and learn about helping others, I hesitate to show Little Miss Techie (age 6) and Captain Computer (3 ½ years) the pictures in the newspaper as their first look at Haiti.

A study of heavy metal contaminants in the urban lakes of India, particularly around Bangalore have revealed that attempts at mitigation meant to remove these pollutants have not so far worked and may not be a long-term remedy for the problem.

Challenge of Teaching 21st Century Skills When the Digital Divide Still Exists
As a Technology Magnet Coordinator at a public elementary school that boasts a technology magnet program, I struggle with the fact that we need to teach our students skills that they need in order to be successful in the 21st century despite the persistence of the digital divide. Defined as those who have access to the internet and those who don’t. Internet World Stats defines the digital divide those who have access to the internet and those who don’t.

Foodista Q & A
We have a giant brainstorm session happening here at Foodista and I couldn’t be more excited for all the new features we are working on for 2010! We just launched our latest feature called Q&A and it’s already my new favorite thing. With Q & A, I can ask the Foodista community a cooking question and anyone can answer it. For example, if I ask the best way to cook a pizza, I may get a response back from a chef, a home cook or even a culinary student. The greatest thing about cooking is that you never stop learning no matter how much experience you have.
