The Biomes of the World map allows students to explore the map and watch an informational video about each biome. Here is a sample video about sharks from The Wild Classroom .

We all had pretty high hopes for the world after the year 2000. As a kid, I was sure that we’d have flying cars and self-drying jackets a la Back to the Future II.

Laws of Simplicity
Organization makes a system of many appear fewer. The home is usually the first battleground that comes to mind when facing the daily challenge of managing complexity. Stuff just seems to multiply. There are three consistent strategies for achieving simplicity in the living realm: 1) buy a bigger house, 2) put everything you don’t really need into storage, or 3) organize your existing assets in a systematic fashion. These typical solutions have mixed results. At first, a larger home lowers the clutter to space ratio.
Following the principle of constructive alignment (see curriculum design ) we need to be able to describe learning outcomes that our students can achieve and that are capable of being assessed.
