A TensorFlow Tutorial: The Ultimate Framework for Machine Learning. TensorFlow is an open source software library created by Google that is used to implement machine learning and deep learning systems.
These two names contain a series of powerful algorithms that share a common challenge—to allow a computer to learn how to automatically spot complex patterns and/or to make best possible decisions. If you’re interested in details about these systems, you can learn more from the Toptal blog posts on machine learning and deep learning. TensorFlow, at its heart, is a library for dataflow programming. It leverages various optimization techniques to make the calculation of mathematical expressions easier and more performant.

Last spring, my university incorporated MW courses into the schedule, as part of an overall attempt to use classroom space more efficiently and consistently, thereby (hopefully!)
Removing some impediments to graduation. The plan may yet do those things–I believe, for example, that we did have more available classroom space last semester–but it also had one unintended effect: It radically depopulated MWF courses. It turns out that when students are given the choice between a MW upper-division course that satisfies a requirement, and a MWF course that satisfies the same one, they’ll usually take the 3-day weekend every time.

Thousands of teachers around the country are learning about an alternative teaching program that aims to use scientific discoveries about the brain to improve the way children learn in the classroom. Special correspondent John Tulenko of Learning Matters reports from Philadelphia. JASSELLE CIRINO, Teacher, Francis Scott Key Elementary: When I say class, you… The Essential Guide to Crowdfunding. Last December, Nur-E Farhana Rahman sat in an Uber car in New York City, tears streaming down her face.
Her months-long project to raise $30,000 on Kickstarter, to expand production at her jewelry company, was about to end in failure. Rahman had thought she was prepared to crowdfund: After she and her mother started Knotty Gal, which handmakes knotted necklaces and other accessories, she intensively researched successful campaigns and planned her own. More than 120 people gave her almost $18,800--but by Kickstarter's all-or-nothing rules, falling short of her goal meant the entire campaign had come to naught.
New Online Community Seeks to Crowdsource Teacher Leadership to Improve Education. As students and teachers across the country head back to school, the U.S.
Department of Education and the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards today unveiled Commit to Lead, a new online community that makes it easy for educators to share ideas for teacher leadership and collaborate to bring these ideas to fruition. The community enables educators everywhere to provide feedback and vote on each other's ideas, allowing the most talked about ideas to rise to the top so they can gain traction and prominence in the field. Commit to Lead is the online platform of Teach to Lead, an initiative to promote teacher leadership convened by the Department and the National Board. "Commit to Lead directly engages educators in defining what teacher leadership can and should look like in their communities, so that collectively we can help make teacher leadership part of the fabric and culture of every school," said U.S.

Teaching Excellence in Adult Literacy (TEAL) Metacognition is one’s ability to use prior knowledge to plan a strategy for approaching a learning task, take necessary steps to problem solve, reflect on and evaluate results, and modify one’s approach as needed. It helps learners choose the right cognitive tool for the task and plays a critical role in successful learning. 03%20Writing%20Samples%20v001%20%28Full%29.pdf. Case Study Collection.

Teachers Surveyed on Using Digital Games in Class: What is the Biggest Barrier?
A recent survey by the Gamesandlearning.org a project run by the Joan Ganz Cooney Center at Sesame Workshop had some very dismal statistics when it came to the barriers teachers feel when implementing digital games in their classrooms. Teachers with Apps has been trying to raise awareness for the need for schools to embrace technology and get students ready for the future. In September of this year TWA posted a blog titled, 8 Reasons why the implementation of tech in schools is so slow, which echoes much of what this survey reveals. Although we didn’t site time specifically on our list, it topped their survey with 45% of teachers considering it the biggest barrier to getting tech into the classroom. The exacerbated emphasis of standardized test scores certainly eats into the already limited time factor and obstructs the implementation of tech.
