This gorgeous video about the Hubble Space Telescope puts our existence int In 1995, astronomers pointed the Hubble Space Telescope toward a seemingly empty region of space to see what was there. What they found was astounding: almost 3,000 objects, too faint to see with the naked eye. In a short animated video from Vimeo user Bliink, we learn just what the astronomers discovered, and why this seemingly empty region of space is so important to understanding the universe. The video is a gorgeous, minimal affair that outlines the Hubble Deep Image Survey, and puts the scale of that first image into perspective. Later surveys after the telescope was upgraded found even more objects.

Self Evaluation Rubric When assigning students projects that have a rubric, I recommend having students self-evaluate against the rubric. This helps students to make sure they have addressed the project requirements and to conduct self-reflection. Create a Google Sheets spreadsheet for your rubric. Have a column for the student to indicate their level on the rubric and a column to justify their choice. The same rubric can be used by you to evaluate the student against the rubric. alicekeeler.com/selfeval In this template, you will want to create the rubric, place points possible in H3, and place the assignment name in J1. When you create an assignment, include the self-evaluation rubric as “Make a copy for each student.” The student will find the rubric by clicking on OPEN on the assignment in the Google Classroom stream and clicking on the attached rubric template. The student will add their name to the rubric and fill in columns for student score and student justification of score. Like this: Like Loading...
The Top 100 Alternative Search Engines RWW Editor's Note: This is the latest installment of The Top 100, a popular monthly feature from our AltSearchEngines blog. The list includes the best People search engines, Job, Health, Media, Local, Social, Semantic, Image, and many more 'verticals'. ASE editor Charles Knight explains below how he compiles the monthly list. He also selected a 'Search Engine of the Month'. The Top 10 FAQ about the Top 100 List: 1. The silly reason is because it is next in line after the 1 Search Engine of the Year (SEY), which is selected from amongst the 10 total Search Engines of the Month (see Dec 2007), but less than the 1,000 that we launched with last June. The serious reason is that it takes a good 100 in order to show you the diversity of search engines out there - just look at the descriptions of the attached file(s). 2. For the AltSearchEngines list, this is how: I start with the Top 100 from February and add every search engine that was displayed on AltSearchEngines during the month. 3. 4.

Vegan Cooking and Nutrition Made Easy and Fun with the Vegan Coach How to Expertly Organize Your Classroom With Google Sites | EdSurge News A few months into my personalized learning foray, I got stumped by the challenges of organizing a blended curriculum.

Social Media Has Hijacked Our Minds. Click Here to Fight It Banana Bread Recipe Banana bread is one of those things that people know of, have eaten, but aren't quite sure why it's so popular and even more confusing ...why it's so hard to get a good banana bread recipe! We have found the answers to both those questions. Banana bread is a popular baked good partially out of necessity. Even with refrigeration advances, bananas are one of those fickle fruits that will still rot (quite quickly) no matter what you do. Not wanting to waste money and still edible fruit, but not wanting to eat 5 or more bananas at a time, thrifty bakers found ways to incorporate bananas into recipes that would not only taste great but would save them from throwing their hard earned money away through waste. Finding a good banana bread recipe is like finding any good recipe. The following recipe is not one of those, and it isn't one of the dry or tasteless or generally bad recipes.

How to use search like a pro: 10 tips and tricks for Google and beyond | Technology Search engines are pretty good at finding what you’re looking for these days, but sometimes they still come up short. For those occasions there are a few little known tricks which come in handy. So here are some tips for better googling (as it’s the most popular search engine) but many will work on other search engines too. 1. The simplest and most effective way to search for something specific is to use quote marks around a phrase or name to search for those exact words in that exact order. For instance, searching for Joe Bloggs will show results with both Joe and Bloggs but not necessarily placed sequentially. The exact or explicit phrase search is very useful for excluding more common but less relevant results. 2. If exact phrase doesn’t get you what you need, you can specifically exclude certain words using the minus symbol. A search for “Joe Bloggs” -jeans will find results for Joe Bloggs, but it will exclude those results for the Joe Bloggs brand of jeans. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.
