Ypulse Essentials: Penguins Donate, MySpace Transmissions, Student Sherpas

Dude. It's Hanukkah (really fun story in the Washington Post, reg. required, on how Jewish music is "not your dad's klezmer." I love "Latke Clan" by the LeeVees)

- Non-profits mull reaching Gen Y (great collection of posts for folks in this sector. Thanks Bob!) (Sam Davidson)

- Club Penguin encouraging giving (kids can donate virtual coins to causes helping CP determine how much each cause gets from their planned $1 million donation. Plus is Nexon the next Pokemon? And Green sites for kids) (Media Life Magazine, last item) (Giga Om) (via Izzy Neis)

- MySpace Transmissions (sounds a lot like what AOL Music was doing a couple years ago with the added value of having their own record label. The site is here. And MySpace Impact expands to Canada.) (New York Times, reg. required)

- Class dismissed (from reality TV…reminds me of this post I wrote awhile back) (originally in the New York Times)

- Parkour (discovered by USA Today)

- Adios to the communal shower (Darren Barefoot picked up on my post yesterday and added his own hilarious Canadian twist. Plus the creator of the "Coolest Girl in School" game, which I blogged about last week, fires back.) (The Age)

- Student 'sherpas' (I love this story about students acting as tech support for teachers. Unfortunately, these "digital natives" are intuitive users, still lagging behind the rest of the world in math and science….and apparently behind chimps in memory skills.) (Christian Science Monitor) (Washington Post, reg. required) (USAToday)
