I'm having a hard time understanding this one. Thanks in advance
I see the importance of it, but i want other opinions.
Im studying to be a Chinese teacher. Im passionate about language learning, and for me, chinese is easy to learn.
But when i look online for statistics-y stuff, i find that languages has a small faculty and it gets shat on a lot.
I very faintly remember a robot tortoise that was about half a metre in length and width. It's function was that it had arrow buttons (left, right, forwards, backwards.) You could press these buttons in a sequence and it would move in those directions in the same sequence. It was a very fun toy for 5-6 year old me. Now I'm 18 and can barely remember anything about it and it just randomly popped into my head and it is annoying me that I can't remember much. The only details I have, is that it may or may not have orange or red buttons; I know they did light up with LEDS. It may have had white on it... Please comment any information. I will find this tortoise. This will be in other subreddits too. I will edit in a [solved] when I have this tortoise.

We are trying to make major changes to how we schedule kids at the HS. We are a school of about 300 kids and would like to go to 60 minute periods. We are trying to give kids more opportunities for electives, without adding teachers. Right now we are on an A-D week, 82 minute block. All we have found from similar schools in this area are 40 minute classes 8 times a day or a block like we have.
Does anyone our size, do 60 minute periods?
I'm in 9th grade currently and I'm going to retake the SHSAT. Last year I had no clue what the SHSAT was until all my friends were talking about it literally two days before. So I had little to no prep, surprisingly I got 404 points . Not trying to brag, just information. But I'm not sure if there's any prep books for this years test which is the 2018-2019 ones because I don't know how the prep books work since I didn't know about it last year. Since this year is minus logic and scrambled paragraphs, should I just get the 2017-2018 books and practice with the math and reading parts and practice the revising questions and other new things elsewhere? What programs do you recommend or sites and any tips or real 2018-2019 prep books. BTW I found a 2018-2019 Kaplan prep book on eBay, it looked legit but I have no clue but he's the link: http://ift.tt/2xGHqVT TL;DR - Retaking SHSAT and need tons of advice for this is pretty much a completely different test now.
More specifically, what can you do with a smart board that you can't do with a traditional projector or whiteboard?
I work with some community youth programs and recently saw this video about how to create a low budget smart board. I'm super excited to try it out and add a little variety to our lessons and games, but I'm not really sure how to integrate it. My college was all chalkboards, and my only experience with smartboards was in workplaces where nobody really knew how to work them. Obviously not all of the smartboard's functionality will transfer over to my wiimote-creation, but I'm still curious to see a) how smartboards get used most often and b) if you all think they are worth the cost.
Thanks!
I guess it helps with some context and depends on the field you're in so here is some more info.
I'm in Media Production at my university and have finished all of my relevant courses. Now what's left are electives/liberal studies that do not add to my expertise in any way, skill-wise. Instead of developing my skills in my area of media, I'm expected to focus on these courses while risking an underdeveloped portfolio for post-grad and my required internship. Note, I am not failing any courses and the post-grad programs I'm applying to require a portfolio and not high grades.
Would it be very irresponsible to make my portfolio and hard skills my primary focus while risking lower [but passing] grades? I would really appreciate an outside perspective.
Hello everyone!
I’m currently doing my second year of university, so I am 20 years old. Recently I’ve been thinking that I am not sure whether I like the course I am doing or not, and I think I would like to change it. I’m thinking about doing Law, because it will give me a bigger chance to find a good job, but the thing is that the Law course lasts for 5 years , and I’m already doing my second year + I won’t be able to change it until the next year. So I am kinda feeling like I’m gonna lose 2 years of my life, because I will have to start from the beginning again. I really don’t know what to do.
Hi folks,
I just came across a talk from Simon Peyton Jones, a well-known individual in the Haskell community, regarding the Computing at School organization in the U.K.
Is there any grassroots organization the U.S. that tries to bring computer education into the classroom?
I am currently a junior in my school and I'm trying to figure out my schedule for next year. I am a very English and History oriented student and despise Math with a passion. I plan on taking mostly History electives my senior year. However, I have heard that it is extremely beneficial to take Pre-Calc in high school. Is it worth my time to even bother taking and suffering through Pre-Calc when I could take an elective course that I am interested in? What would be the benefits of taking Pre-Calc in my senior year?
I dropped out of 9th grade in 2006, there was no common core back then.
i've begun researching online, to understand the PTA's role. i want to be an educated and informed parent of a public school student, as well as support the teachers and other students.
i will elaborate in a comment or additional post later this evening (need to go pick up my daughter soon.) essentially, i found the PTA board to be rude and condescending. they have terrible turnout (only me, my mother, and two other parents attended, and they said this is normal). i expected at least 15 parents from student population of 500+.
according to last year's data:
• the school is 1/3rd hispanic/latino
• 50% of the student body come from non-english speaking families (mostly spanish, ukranian and amharic)
• 77% of the students participate in the reduced/free lunch program
they offered no info about organization, by-laws, goals, success measures, etc. they make no effort to reach out to these ESL families. they have a PTA membership fee that is arguably expensive for most families ($24/parent). they have fundraising events wherein the students that have parents that can contribute the most money are rewarded with exclusive prizes (such as a magic show that costs the school $400).
i have more to add, but really have to go! i thought people might give me info regarding their understanding of a PTA's role? also, has anybody else experienced this kind of marginalization? or, if you have a similar student body, what outreach efforts were successful? how does a PTA's role shift, to accommodate the students and teachers?
i'm sort of lost, and input is much appreciated! i can add more info, answer questions tonight. thank you!
Hello, all! So I'm doing a paper for my EDU class on challenges and strategies on large class sizes. I'm looking for scholarly articles for strategies or tips on dealing with a large class, but I can't find any recent, after 2013, and even the old ones I find are no help. I'm hoping maybe someone can point me in the right direction? or maybe you know of some articles that can help?
