The Deconstruction of the K-12 Teacher — The Atlantic. Whenever a college student asks me, a veteran high-school English educator, about the prospects of becoming a public-school teacher, I never think it’s enough to say that the role is shifting from "content expert" to "curriculum facilitator. " Instead, I describe what I think the public-school classroom will look like in 20 years, with a large, fantastic computer screen at the front, streaming one of the nation’s most engaging, informative lessons available on a particular topic. The "virtual class" will be introduced, guided, and curated by one of the country’s best teachers (a.k.a. a "super-teacher"), and it will include professionally produced footage of current events, relevant excerpts from powerful TedTalks, interactive games students can play against other students nationwide, and a formal assessment that the computer will immediately score and record.

"So if you want to be a teacher," I tell the college student, "you better be a super-teacher. " I started reflecting. Well then. Robotic Nation, by Marshall Brain. I went to McDonald's this weekend with the kids. We go to McDonald's to eat about once a week because it is a mile from the house and has an indoor play area. Our normal routine is to walk in to McDonald's, stand in line, order, stand around waiting for the order, sit down, eat and play. On Sunday, this decades-old routine changed forever. When we walked in to McDonald's, an attractive woman in a suit greeted us and said, "Are you planning to visit the play area tonight? " The kids screamed, "Yeah!

" The woman walks us over to a pair of kiosks in the play area. We sat down at a table. You know what? As nice as this system is, however, I think that it represents the tip of an iceberg that we do not understand. The Iceberg The iceberg looks like this. All of these systems are very easy-to-use from a customer standpoint, they are fast, and they lower the cost of doing business and should therefore lead to lower prices.

Aleksandr Nevsky: Un Héroe del Pueblo Ben McCool y Mario Guevara nos traen la icónica historia de Aleksandr Nevsky, viva durante eras, que fue llevada al cine por uno de los más grandes realizadores del siglo XX, Serguéi Eisenstein, ha sido dotada de una nueva y vibrante vida en forma de novela gráfica en: NEVSKY: Un Héroe del Pueblo...

Aleksandr Nevsky fue un príncipe-héroe ruso del siglo XIII, además de santo, quién protegió a Occidente de la Horda Dorada de Mongolia. La Horda Dorada fue una parte del Imperio Mongol de Batú Kan, el cuál fue el mayor imperio de toda la historia humana. Sin Nevsky, la cultura occidental, particularmente la de la Europa oriental, quizás no hubiera sido como la conocemos hoy en día. Como hizo el rey Leónidas por la democracia, cuando Grecia hacia frente a la amenaza de la invasión persa en la batalla de las Termópilas, Aleksandr Nevsky hizo lo propio por el luchador pueblo ruso.
