Student Portfolio Site Seelio Raises Just Under $1 Million, Takes Its Platform Directly To Educators. Seelio, an Ann Arbor-based startup that allows students to set up an online portfolio to showcase their work in advance of having real-world job experience, has raised $900,000 in seed funding. The company had first targeted students with a .edu email address when it launched last summer, but is now expanding its platform in order to sell directly to educational institutions through a new product called Seelio for Educators.
The investment came from First Step Fund, Michigan PreSeed Fund, and a number of angels, including Steve Fireng (President and CEO of Embanet, a Pearson company), Bob Dowdell (a founder and former Chairman of the Board at careered.com), David Fry (founder of Fry Communications), and Lorne Zalesin (former CEO of MyInsuranceExpert). Founded by University of Michigan grads Moses Lee, David Jsa, and Jerry Wang, Seelio was spun out of an existing service called TruApp, which debuted as an MVP back in January 2012.

How to Read the Next Generation Science Standards. Printer-friendly version The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) are distinct from prior science standards in that they integrate three dimensions within each standard and have intentional connections across standards.
To provide guidance and clarification to all users of the standards, the writers have created a system architecture that highlights the NGSS as well as each of the three integral dimensions and connections to other grade bands and subjects. The standards are organized in a table with three main sections: 1) performance expectation(s), 2) the foundation boxes, and 3) the connection boxes. In the figure below the video, from top to bottom are seen the title, the topic label row, the performance expectation(s) (the assessable component), the foundation boxes (containing Practices, Disciplinary Core Ideas and Crosscutting Concepts), and the connection boxes.
Detailed information about this architecture can be found online here. Www7.nationalacademies.org/bose/Frameworks_Report_Brief.pdf.
