World’s great forests could lose half of all wildlife as planet warms – report | Environment The world’s greatest forests could lose more than half of their plant species by the end of the century unless nations ramp up efforts to tackle climate change, according to a new report on the impacts of global warming on biodiversity hotspots. Mammals, amphibians, reptiles and birds are also likely to disappear on a catastrophic scale in the Amazon and other naturally rich ecosysterms in Africa, Asia, North America and Australia if temperatures rise by more than 1.5C, concludes the study by WWF, the University of East Anglia and the James Cook University. The research in the journal Climate Change examined the impact of three different levels of warming – 2C (the upper target in the 2015 Paris agreement), 3.2C (the likely rise given existing national commitments) and 4.5C (the forecast outcome if emissions trends remain unchanged) on nearly 80,000 plant and animal species in 35 of the world’s most biodiverse regions. A partial solution may be relocation.
Print Custom Sticky Notes with Google Slides Post-it and other brands of sticky notes are put to good use everyday by teachers and students. The Post-it website has a page filled with resources for teachers, and they have a really cool iOS app for digitizing, sorting, and sharing square sticky notes. Those small pieces of paper that can be attached, easily removed, and repositioned can be even more useful when you print on them. While there is a printer designed to print sticky notes, you can send sticky notes through the printer you already have. You’ll need a template for printing, and I just so happen to have one for you. The template is in Google Slides.
Eating out increases levels of phthalates in the body, study finds | Society Eating at restaurants and fast food chains may increase exposure to potentially harmful hormone-disrupting chemicals used to increase the flexibility and durability of plastic, a study has found. Researchers investigating levels of phthalates in the human body, which have been linked to asthma, breast cancer, type 2 diabetes and fertility issues in the past few years, were found to be nearly 35% higher in participants who had eaten out the previous day compared with those who stayed at home. Phthalates are binding agents frequently used in food packaging as well as a number of other products including flooring, adhesives soaps and shampoos, and some forms of the chemical have been banned from children’s products in the US. Certain foods, including burgers and sandwiches, were linked to higher phthalate levels in the study, but only if purchased at a fast-food outlet, restaurant or cafe. The association was especially strong for teenagers, researchers found.

Go Slow Online Workshops - Teacher Tech I am trying out something new. One thing that is always a challenge when you have a PD day is that you have only that day to learn everything. No surprise we are totally wiped out at the end of a PD day. I’ve had some friends encourage me to make an online course of videos… but I just can’t bring myself to do it. I’m passionate about online learning and that interactions are important. So I am trying a GO SLOW series. 6 Weeks Instead of a 6 hour PD, let’s spread it out over 6 weeks. New Things Each Week Each week I will post some new activities, nothing that takes very long. No Particular Time The Go Slow workshops are asynchronous which means they do NOT require you to be online at any particular time. Interact Going slow allows everyone to interact with each other (and me), to ask questions and to share! Google Classroom The online platform we will use is Google Classroom. Go Slow Workshops If this works out I’ll do more Taking Suggestions Copyright secured by Digiprove © 2017

TIMELINE: Chinese Books, Manuscripts, Maps, and Prints The Xiping Stone Classics These engravings of the seven Confucian classics were set up outside the National University Gate, located on the south side of Loyang, the capital city, in the Eastern Han dynasty. They were created between 175 and 183, after Cai Yong and a group of scholars successfully petitioned the emperor to have the Confucian classics carved in stone in order to prevent their being altered to support particular points of view. They are also called the “Han Stone Classics” and the “Single-Script Stone Classics." The seven classics -- The Book of Changes, The Book of Documents, The Book of Poetry, The Rites, The Spring and Autumn Annals, The Gongyang Tradition, and The Analects – were copied and engraved in the standard clerical script of the Han period. Each classic is based on the text of one school of transmission and commentary, and notes list the differences in the texts of the schools.

Aggression is a word that we use every day to characterize the behavior of others and perhaps even of ourselves. We say that people are aggressive if they yell at or hit each other, if they cut off other cars in traffic, or even when they smash their fists on the table in frustration. But other harmful acts, such as the injuries that sports players receive during a rough game or the killing of enemy soldiers in a war might not be viewed by everyone as aggression. Social psychologists define aggression as behavior that is intended to harm another individual who does not wish to be harmed (Baron & Richardson, 1994). You can see that this definition rules out some behaviors that we might normally think are aggressive. Social psychologists use the term violence to refer to aggression that has extreme physical harm, such as injury or death, as its goal.
Cómo mejorar tus clases con ayuda de Google Classroom Toda ayuda es bienvenida cuando hablamos de educación. Educar en el siglo XXI con herramientas del siglo XVIII cada vez cuesta más y de ahí que cualquier innovación digital o tecnológica sea de gran ayuda. Combinar el aprendizaje en clase con ejercicios y material de apoyo disponible en la red. Esta es la base de Google Classroom, la plataforma educativa de Google que ofrece gratuitamente una herramienta con la que aderezar las clases presenciales con un apoyo virtual complementario. Desde su creación en 2014 ha estado disponible como una herramienta más de la plataforma Google Apps Educación. Pero desde hace poco cualquier usuario de Google tiene acceso a Classroom para crear sus propias clases virtuales y llenarlas con contenido. Qué es Google Classroom Hace tiempo que muchos centros educativos utilizan servicios online como foros, repositorios de documentos, listas de correo, blogs e incluso los hay que facilitan una cuenta de correo electrónico gratuita para cada alumno y profesor.
