Graphic Identity: Logo Leverage the power of MIT. The MIT brand is the best-known and strongest of the many identities across the MIT community. And the MIT logo—the short-hand representation of that brand—is the most recognized graphic identifier. By using the MIT logo in your department’s or organization’s identities and communications, you send a message: you connect with the power and promise of the Institute. Use of the MIT logo instantly tells the world that you are part of the MIT community—and you share in the positive reputation that’s been built over many decades.

Tools By Laura Turner The following web2.0 sites would be useful for science educators at the high school and middle school level. Some would also be appropriate for higher elementary grade levels. There are many new ‘tools’ or websites that take advantage of the higher speed and bandwidth of today’s Internet. Web 1.0 tools/websites were text based and web2.0 tools/websites are designed for full-motion video, 3D animations and are generally interactive in some manner. Web 2.0 can also be described as the second round of new technology development and adoption. Delaware County Intermediate Unit {*style:<b><i>Building a Healthier Lifestyle? Put the Big Rocks In First! </i></b>*} This is an old story and you may have heard it before. I had never heard it in the context of wellness and I found it a simple, yet profound idea. A speaker pulled out a wide mouth gallon jar, and placed it next to a pile of fist-sized rocks.

SBG Success Part 2 (Grading System) Physics &amp; Physical Science Demos, Labs, &amp; Projects for High School Teachers With weekly quizzes and so many additional concept quizzes, I was worried about the time it would take to grade everything. I’ve been pleasantly surprised at how quickly I can get through a set of quizzes, it’s quick because I don’t worry about partial credit. Each problem gets one of four grades: 4 – The problem is done correctly, no errors3 – The student understands the underlying concept but made at least one or more mistakes2 – The student is starting to understand the concept, but clearly isn’t there yet1 – No real understanding0 – No attempt at a solution

What Is Curriculum-Based Measurement And What Does It Mean to My Child? by Kathleen McLane Curriculum-Based Measurement (CBM) is a method teachers use to find out how students are progressing in basic academic areas such as math, reading, writing, and spelling. CBM can be helpful to parents because it provides current, week-by-week information on the progress their children are making. HyperPhysics Concepts About HyperPhysics Rationale for Development HyperPhysics is an exploration environment for concepts in physics which employs concept maps and other linking strategies to facilitate smooth navigation. For the most part, it is laid out in small segments or "cards", true to its original development in HyperCard. The entire environment is interconnected with thousands of links, reminiscent of a neural network. The bottom bar of each card contains links to major concept maps for divisions of physics, plus a "go back" feature to allow you to retrace the path of an exploration.

physics3 Extras Who's Using the Books Adoptions of Light and Matter Colleges and Universities Physical disability, multiple disabilities, supporting disabled students in the classroom. For students with physical handicaps, self-image is extremely important. Teachers need to ensure that the child's self image is positive. Physically handicapped students are aware of the fact that they are physically different that most others and that there are certain things they cannot do. Peers can be cruel to other children with physical handicaps and become involved in teasing, casting insulting remarks and excluding physically handicapped children from games and group type activities. Physically handicapped children want to succeed and participate as much as they can and this needs to be encouraged and fostered by the teacher.

Inclusion Inclusion is part of a much larger picture then just placement in the regular class within school. It is being included in life and participating using one's abilities in day to day activities as a member of the community. It is being a part of what everyone else is, and being welcomed and embraced as a member who belongs. Inclusion can occur in schools, churches, play- grounds, work and in recreation. Human beings, regardless if they happen to have a disability or not, have basic needs that must be met in order to feel fulfilled. The basic needs of food, water and shelter are necessary for us to exist.
