How to Get Started.
Ending the Year on a Positive Note. It's that time of year.
You look up at your calendar and begin counting down to the last days of school. You might even have little numbers in the corner of the boxes indicating how many days are left in the year or until graduation. Likewise, your students are on the edge of their seats. Maybe the weather has been getting nicer and nicer, or maybe students are in a hubbub about the upcoming dance or graduation or their summer vacation.
Administrators are wringing their hands with everything that needs to be done before the school doors close for the summer. Have Students Create Their End-of-Year Legacy Now. Ask your students to imagine themselves at an assembly in June.

When I explain speed learning to the students, it is inevitable that one of them will say… is this like the learning version of speed dating, and the answer is, Yes! One of the issues that I try to address in the classroom is to have each student talking with the other students about their academic work.
If you have students in groups, some will dominate and some will play wall flower. With speed learning, students are challenged to have several one on one conversations with the other students. I communicate a defined outcome as well as a time limit to help focus the discussions. Steps for using the method in class: Use speed learning in cases where each student has something unique to share, it could be workshopping their project ideas or sharing a news article they were asked to being in.Students arrange themselves so that each person is sitting across from one other person.

Infographic List. Geography Ideas. Better Than Human: Why Robots Will — And Must — Take Our Jobs. Imagine that 7 out of 10 working Americans got fired tomorrow. What would they all do? It’s hard to believe you’d have an economy at all if you gave pink slips to more than half the labor force. But that—in slow motion—is what the industrial revolution did to the workforce of the early 19th century. Two hundred years ago, 70 percent of American workers lived on the farm.
Today automation has eliminated all but 1 percent of their jobs, replacing them (and their work animals) with machines. It may be hard to believe, but before the end of this century, 70 percent of today’s occupations will likewise be replaced by automation. First, machines will consolidate their gains in already-automated industries.
All the while, robots will continue their migration into white-collar work.
