And there is good reason why. I write here to explain why the pediatric recommendations on forms of cosleeping such as bedsharing will and should remain mixed. I will also address why the majority of new parents practice intermittent bedsharing despite governmental and medical warnings against it. Definitions are important here. Unfortunately, the terms cosleeping, bedsharing and a well-known dangerous form of cosleeping, couch or sofa cosleeping, are mostly used interchangeably by medical authorities, even though these terms need to be kept separate. Bedsharing is another form of cosleeping which can be made either safe or unsafe, but it is not intrinsically one nor the other. Nothing can be further from the truth. Research Understanding Recommendations I am not alone in thinking this way. Our Biological Imperatives

Ny metod ”vänder på klassrummet” För att få mer tid för eleverna på lektionen struntar numera fysikläraren Daniel Barker på gymnasieskolan Norra Real i Stockholm i den traditionella katederundervisningen. Istället spelar han in sina genomgångar på Youtube. Filmerna skickas sedan ut till eleverna så att de kommer förberedda till lektionen. –Jag förbereder mig hemma med att se filmerna. Ägnar tiden åt frågor och diskussioner Det kallas ”Flipped classroom” och kommer från USA. –Det är som en vanlig fysiklektion bara det att vi har mycket mer tid att ställa frågor och läraren har mer tid att hjälpa oss, säger Christoffer Knudsen, fysikelev i årskurs tre. –Det är väl både positivt och negativt. Vissa får titta på lektionstid För Daniel Barker har det blivit tydligt att filmerna tas emot på olika sätt. –En del behöver inte titta för de kan redan. ”Får översikt av vad eleverna kan” Metoden används främst på gymnasiet och oftast inom naturvetenskapliga ämnen.
Benjamin Franklin's Phonetic Alphabet Benjamin Franklin took great interest in the promotion of spelling reform. While living in London in 1768 he wrote A Scheme for a new Alphabet and a Reformed Mode of Spelling in which he proposed a fairly accurate phonetic system for spelling English. The alphabet was published in 1779 in Franklin's Political, Miscellaneous, and Philosophical Pieces. His new phonetic alphabet consisted all the lowercase letters of the Latin alphabet, minus c, j, q, w, x, and y, which he thought redundant, plus six new letters for sounds which he thought lacked unambiguous orthographic representation. Franklin commissioned a type foundry to prepare a suitable type including for the 6 new letters, but soon lost interest in his alphabet. Notable features Double vowels represent long vowel sounds, e.g. aa = [ a: ] and ii = [ i: ].

The Chicago Manual of Style Online: Chicago-Style Citation Quick Guide - Iceweasel The Chicago Manual of Style presents two basic documentation systems: (1) notes and bibliography and (2) author-date. Choosing between the two often depends on subject matter and the nature of sources cited, as each system is favored by different groups of scholars. The notes and bibliography style is preferred by many in the humanities, including those in literature, history, and the arts. This style presents bibliographic information in notes and, often, a bibliography. The author-date system has long been used by those in the physical, natural, and social sciences. Aside from the use of notes versus parenthetical references in the text, the two systems share a similar style. Notes and Bibliography: Sample Citations The following examples illustrate citations using the notes and bibliography system. Book One author 1. 2. Pollan, Michael. Two or more authors 1. 2. Ward, Geoffrey C., and Ken Burns. 1. 2. Editor, translator, or compiler instead of author 1. 2. Lattimore, Richmond, trans. 1.

Cognitive Apprenticeship: Making Thinking Visible « The 21st Century Learning Initiative This article has exercised a great influence on the 21st Century Learning Initiative’s thinking. It originally appeared in the Winter, 1991 issue of American Educator, the journal of The American Federation of Teachers, and is reprinted here with permission. In ancient times, teaching and learning were accomplished through apprenticeship: We taught our children how to speak, grow crops, craft cabinets, or tailor clothes by showing them how and by helping them do it. Apprenticeship was the vehicle for transmitting the knowledge required for expert practice in fields from painting and sculpting to medicine and law. While there are many differences between schooling and apprenticeship methods, we will focus on one. In this article, we will present some of the features of traditional apprenticeship and discuss the ways it can be adapted to the teaching and learning of cognitive skills.
