Monster Exchange - Project Summary What Is The Monster Exchange? Monster Exchange began in 1995 when John Thompson, a dedicated parent of a Brunner Elementary student in New Jersey, joined with Brian Maguire, a former third grade teacher, to create and participate in an educational project for the Kindergarten-8th grade level. Monster Exchange is designed to encourage the development of reading and writing skills while integrating Internet technology into the classroom curriculum. The written descriptions, original monster pictures, and redrawn monster pictures are scanned and uploaded to the Internet using the browser-based Monster Gallery Builder. The Monster Galleries are then published, and feedback is provided via e-mail. Any communication, material, pictures, descriptions of monsters and other content you post or transmit to the Monster Exchange, by any means, is and will be treated as, non-confidential and non-proprietary.

Food maker sued by Florida mom over Goldfish "natural" label FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — If you have bought Cheddar Goldfish snacks in the past four years, one fed-up Florida mom wants to help you get your money back. And she has put South Florida at the center of a national debate over genetically modified foods. Those are foods that have been changed in a lab. Palm Beach County schoolteacher Lisa Leo has taken Pepperidge Farm to court for false advertising. Her lawsuit was filed June 11 in federal court. A Consumer's Right To Know Shoppers "have a right to know what they’re putting in their bodies,” said Joshua Eggnatz. Genetically modified organisms, or GMOs, are plant or animal products. About 90 percent of the corn, cotton, soybeans and sugar beets grown in the United States are genetically altered. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not defined what “natural” means on food labels. According to the lawsuit, Leo purchased the snacks monthly from three stores. GMO Foods Under Fire Pepperidge Farm officials did not return calls for a comment.

Red-tailed Hawk Basic Facts and Photos - Oklahoma Birds and Butterflies Red-tailed Hawk Basic Facts and Photos by Charly Mann The average red-tailed hawk lives twenty years in the wild. Its eyesight is eight times more powerful than a human’s. Like the song Oklahoma says these birds do "make lazy circles in the sky." They usually weigh between 3 and 5 pounds. Red-tailed hawks are great at reducing rat populations. These birds are classified as raptors. The Red-tailed hawk is very intelligent and is one of the easier raptors to tame. The female (hen) Red-tailed Hawk is the most desirable in falconry because of its larger size, which allows it to take medium sized animals including ducks and pheasant. photos by Kathryn Mann Tweet

Redefining Literacy in the Digital Age -- Campus Technology 21st Century Skills Redefining Literacy in the Digital Age Technology and digital media are changing the meaning of literacy and creating new challenges for teaching and learning. The literacy challenge here in the United States has been with us for some time. Several sources indicate that the percentages of adult illiteracy have not changed in 10 years: The Huffington Post notes: According to a study conducted in late April by the U.S. While these statistics are powerful, it is important to realize two issues: There are many challenges that impact illiteracy, not just general education; and There are currently many different types of literacy and so the scope of the challenge has increased and is not being fully assessed or evaluated. We hear K–12 teachers say on a regular basis that literacy remains a huge challenge for their students. Literacy Skills: Conventional and Progressive As we likely all realize, the conventional idea of literacy concerns reading and writing.
Books That Grow Reader — Books That Grow Without, the night was cold and wet, but in the small parlour of Laburnam Villa the blinds were drawn and the fire burned brightly. Father and son were at chess, the former, who possessed ideas about the game involving radical changes, put his king into such sharp and unnecessary perils that it even provoked comment from the white-haired old lady knitting placidly by the fire. "Hark at the wind," said Mr. White, who, having seen a fatal mistake after it was too late, was amiably desirous of preventing his son from seeing it. "I'm listening," said the latter, grimly surveying the board as he stretched out his hand. Outside, the night was cold and wet, but in the small parlor of Laburnam Villa, the blinds were drawn, and the fire burned brightly.
