The criteria you put in your assessment will guide students toward the content and skills you want them to learn. You might even want to get their input before you finalize the project’s assessment.Be sure that your assessment gives students lots of leeway in how they investigate and share their projects. Every project should turn out differently. As Chris Lehmann says, “If you assign a project and you get back 30 of the exact same thing, that’s not a project, that’s a recipe.”

Below is a checklist to help you refine your question. You might not be able to check off all the items, but the more the merrier! ‼️ The question is appealing to students.🗜 The question is concise. 💦 The question has no easy answer. 😍 The question taps into students’ interests and passions. 💤 The question does not sound like a test question. 💗 The question leads to more questions. 🔀 There is more than one answer to the question. 🔰 The topic is personal or local.🏡 Students can relate to the question in their daily lives.🤔  Students will have choices for end products. 💬 There is an authentic audience for the project.🕵️‍♀️ The question requires serious investigation. ℹ️ Students will learn important skills and content.💥 The project will somehow make a difference in the world.

📐 Solve a Problem: There’s a real-world predicament with multiple solutions.How can we stop phantom traffic jams?How can we beautify the vacant lot across the street for $200?What’s the best way to stop the flu at our school?Design a better lunch menu for our school.Design a safe and sturdy bridge to replace one in our city.🎓 Educational: The purpose of the project is to teach others.How can we teach second graders about helpful insects.Create a campaign to teach senior citizens how to use an iPad.What do the students at our school need to know about being respectful?👍 Convince Others: Students persuade a specified audience to do something or change their opinions.Create a public service announcement (PSA) that persuades teens to drink more water.Drive yourself to define a question and then Prove It to your classmates.Convince grocery shoppers to return their shopping carts.How can we convince our principal that we should have a party in December?🌏 Broad Theme: The project tackles big ideas.What does it mean to read?How does conflict lead to change?How does math influence art?How do writers persuade others?How are good and evil depicted in different cultures?💬 Opinion: Students need to consider all sides of an issue in order to form and justify their opinions.Should pets be allowed to attend class?Why has a woman never been a U.S. president?What makes a good astronaut?🚥 Divergent: Students make predictions about alternative timelines and scenarios.What if Rosa Parks gave up her seat?What if the world ran out of oil tomorrow?How might your city change if the climate became an average of 10°F warmer?What if the USA switched to the metric system?🚀 Scenario-Based: Students take on a fictional role with a mission to accomplish.You’re a NASA engineer, and you are in charge of building a moon base. What are the ten most important things to include and why?Imagine that you are King George. What would you have done differently to keep American part of England?You are the CEO of a company that is designing a new social media app. Present a business plan to your investors that explains how your company will make money.You’ve been hired to revamp your local shopping mall. Come up with a plan to increase business.How would you spend $1,000,000 to help your community?🚧 Scaffolded Around Framing Words: BIE has a tool to help you develop driving questions called a Tubric. It provides possible framing words, actions, audience, and purpose. If you’d rather not take the time to construct a tube, you could use Rhoni McFarlane’s Developing Inquiry Questions chart, Amy Mayer’s Scaffold for Writing a Driving Question, or TeachThought's PBL Cheat Sheet.How can I create a campaign to reduce bullying in my school? (from Rhoni McFarlane)How can we find a solution to reduce the litter in our school permanently? (also from Rhoni McFarlane)How can we as first graders create geocaching sites to promote physical fitness in our neighborhood? (from Washington Discovery Academy)

Driving questions pose simply stated real world dilemmas. They pose predicaments that students find interesting and actually want to answer. The question drives students to discuss, inquire, and investigate the topic. It should push them toward a production or solution. In the process of investigating the question and sharing their answers, students learn important content and skills.  

it’s not surprising that we have a variety of other terms for a question or statement that is the project’s driving force. These terms include essential question, challenge, prime question, WILD HOG question, focus question, and smart question. I’ll stick with driving question, but do know that sometimes the driving question is not interrogative. It might be a statement, but I’ll still refer to is as a question.

Projects begin with a driving question—an open-ended question that sets the stage for the project by creating interest and curiosity.

should allow us to examine the molecularmechanisms of photoinhibition of PSI, as well as thenature of chilling sensitivity

rom an artificial electron donor tomethyl viologen does not provide a good measure of PSI ac-tivity because methyl viologen at a high concentration canaccept electrons even from a partially destroyed PSI, asdiscussed earlier (Terashima et al. 1994, Sonoike andTerashima 1994).

were measured

The difference in the level of P-700 deter-mined chemically and photochemically suggests the inacti-vation of the acceptor side of PSI rather than of P-700itself. In the case of photoinhibition of PSI in cucumberleaves, similar inactivation on the acceptor side has beenproposed (Sonoike and Terashima 1994), and an EPRstudy revealed the destruction of the iron-sulfur centers bythe photoinhibitory treatment (Sonoike et al. 1995)

After this treatment, the concentration of P-700 was determined from the changes in absorption at 701nm. As the duration of pre-illumination increased, the levelof photochemically quantified P-700 decreased (Fig. 1A)

hydroponically

We showed recently that PSI is readily photoinhib-ited in leaves of Cucumis sativus at low temperatures(Terashima et al. 1994), with almost no damage to PSIIthat had long been believed to be the main site of photoinhi-bition (Powles 1984). When cucumber leaves were illumi-nated by moderate light at 220//molm~2s~1 for 5 h at4°C, the maximum quantum yield of the photosyntheticelectron flow through PSI (measured in terms of the flowfrom reduced DAD to NADP+) decreased by 70-80%, butthat through PSII decreased by less than 20% (Terashimaet al. 1994). This observation clearly demonstrated thatPSI is the main site of the photoinhibition at chilling tem-peratures in cucumber leaves.

Adam Smith pointed out that the “rent of houses” can be divided into the “building rent,” the rent actually necessary to operate and maintain the building, and the “ground rent,” which reflects demand for a desirable location.

In the economics literature, it is said that rent control results in “reduced mobility” and that this causes an “inefficient allocation” of rental units.

Google Docs is an excellent example of this: by allowing learners to collaborate and communicate with one another through a web-based word processing document, time and space are no longer factors in a collaborative enterprise, as the technology removes those barriers for students.

Personalized learning technologies can, ironically, make the learning experience less personal, less human

French fries, or chips in Britain, are an evocative and ubiquitous aspect of life in many parts of the world. The most delicious french fries combine a crisp exterior with a soft and light interior—texture in this case is a defining characteristic. A mealy pear or a soggy apple will disappoint: crispness is expected of an apple, whereas more of a crunch is expected from a pear. Certainly, a stick of celery is expected to be crunchy; wilting and soft celery will find few takers. Crisp lettuce is definitely preferable to the flaccid variety. Carrots, when cooked, are transformed...

Here are a few guidelines for parents to consider: In terms of social interaction, a child who is kindergarten-ready should be able to play and work well with others and know how to cooperate and share (both with physical objects and with ideas). While some children are slow to warm to others, particularly if they don't have siblings, it's best if they are at least willing to participate in group activities such as singing, rhyming, and talking. For the most part, a child who is in kindergarten will be expected to listen to the teacher and to other children, be able to pay attention and follow directions, and have some level of self-control, particularly in a group setting.

As a matter of practical significance, however, most of the technologies under consideration in current literature are newer and digital and have some inherent properties that make applying them in straightforward ways difficult.

understanding of other cultures, and other people seems to be more critical than ever. In addition to learning about other countries and cultures, children need to learn early about the ways in which countries and people are connected. This includes an understanding of history and economics. It's not that children will learn all about world history or even all about the history of their own country and certainly not that they will learn all about economic theory. However, they can begin to learn some basics. We can think of this learning as "social science readiness."

When you recognize symptoms of burnout in others, help them to get out the "Burnout trap". Don't just tell people to take a break, but help them arrange things so they can take a break. Ask why they feel they can't take a break (there are almost certainly real, concrete reasons) and then ask permission to get busy putting things in place that will overcome those barriers. People might be trapped by their own fatigue, being too worn out to find the creative solutions needed to take a break.

In the past two decades, earnings have dropped for those without high school degrees, while dropout rates have continued to remain high among vulnerable populations.

Usually, before kindergarten, most children can use words they've learned from conversations with others or by being read to. Throughout the academic year, your child's speech will become more structured and understandable, and reading and writing skills will emerge and advance. As the school year goes on, children should be able to understand basic sentence structure and punctuation. They will learn, for example, that the first word in a sentence is capitalized and that sentences end in periods, question marks, or exclamation points. Most kindergarteners learn to print letters in both lower- and uppercase. During kindergarten, children also learn to use question words, such as who, what, when, where, why and how, as well as how to make words plural by adding an 's' or "es". They also learn how to use common nouns and prepositions. By the end of kindergarten, most children can learn to read age-appropriate books by themselves, and your child might like to have you listen while he or she reads out loud at home.

In kindergarten math, children learn the names of numbers and how to count them in sequence. They begin to become familiar with numbers 11-19. They should also be able to count objects and begin an introduction to geometry by learning to recognize and name shapes such as triangles, rectangles, circles, and squares. Kindergartens begin to learn the concepts of addition and subtraction, respectively, as "putting together and adding to" and "taking apart and taking from," according to the Common Core State Math Standards.

Don't Reach for that weapon

What can you expect your child to learn about science by the end of kindergarten? In general, they will learn some basics of the physical sciences, Earth sciences, life sciences, and scientific principles of investigation and experimentation. Children are encouraged to develop their curiosity about the world around them and to make observations. As they are introduced to science, children develop organized and analytical thinking as well as problem-solving skills.

Peer Supported Connected learning thrives in a socially meaningful and knowledge-rich ecology of ongoing participation, self-expression and recognition. In their everyday exchanges with peers and friends, young people fluidly contribute, share and give feedback. Powered with possibilities made available by today’s social media, this peer culture can produce learning that’s engaging and powerful

Traditional education is failing to engage many students as they enter their middle school, high school, and college years. The culture clash between formal education and interest-driven, out-of-school learning is escalating in today’s world where social communication and interactive content is always at our fingertips. We need to harness these new technologies for learning rather than distraction.

Now Julia, the mother of Tarautas, chanced to be in Antioch, and at the first information of her son's death she was so affected that she deal herself a violent blow and tried to starve herself to death. Thus she mourned, now that he was dead, the very man whom she had hated while he lived; yet it was not because she wished that he were alive, but because she was vexed at having to return to private life.

But it happened that this letter was diverted to Antioch to the emperor's mother Julia, since she had been instructed to sort everything that arrived and thus prevent a mass of unimportant letters from being sent to him while he was in the enemy's country

As a result, great numbers pretended to pursue philosophy, hoping that they might be enriched by the emperor.

he passed away on the seventeenth of March, not as a result of the disease from which he still suffered, but by the act of his physicians, as I have been plainly told, who wished to do Commodus a favour.

Now if Marcus had lived longer, he would have subdued that entire region

Marcus gave audience to those whom came as envoys from outside nations, but did not receive them all on the same footing; for this varied according as the several states were worthy to receive citizenship, or freedom from taxes, or perpetual or temporary exemption from the tribute, or even to enjoy permanent support. And when the Iazyges proved most useful to them, he released them from many of the restrictions that had been imposed upon them, — in fact, from all save those affecting their assembling and trading together and the requirements that they should not used boats of their own and should keep away from the islands in the Ister. And he permitted them to pass through Dacia  p61 in order to have dealings with the Rhoxolani, as often as the governor of Dacia should give them permission.

When Marcus had come to Athens and had been initiated into the Mysteries,

For surely Cilicians, Syrians, Jews, and Egyptians have never proved superior to you and never will, even if they should muster as many tens of thousands more than you as they now muster fewer.

10 Dio goes on to say that when the rain poured down, at first all turned their faces upwards and received the water in their mouths; then some held out their shields and some their helmets to catch it, and they not only took deep draughts themselves  p33 but also gave their horses to drink. And when the barbarians now charged upon them, they drank and fought at the same time; and some, becoming wounded, actually gulped down the blood that flowed into their helmets, along with the water. So intent, indeed, were most of them on drinking that they would have suffered severely from the enemy's onset, had not a violent hail-storm and numerous thunderbolts fallen upon the ranks of the foe.

Marcus, both because he knew their race to be untrustworthy and also because he had been deceived by the Quadi, wished to annihilate them utterly.

The emperor, as often as he had leisure from war, would hold court; he used to allow abundant time to the speakers,3 and entered into the preliminary inquiries and examinations at great length, so as to ensure strict justice by every possible means. In consequence, he would often be trying the same case for as much as eleven or twelve days, even though he sometimes held court at night. For he was industrious and applied himself diligently to all the duties of his office; and he neither said, wrote, nor did anything as if it were a minor matter, but  p23 sometimes he would consume whole days over the minutest point, not thinking it right that the emperor should do anything hurriedly. For he believed that if he should slight even the smallest detail, this would bring reproach upon all his other actions. Yet he was so frail in body that at first he could not endure the cold, but even after the soldiers had assembled at his command he would retire before addressing a word to them; and he took but very little food and that always at night. It was never his practice to eat during the daytime, unless it were some of the drug called theriac. This drug he took, not so much because he feared anything, as because his stomach and chest were in bad condition; and it is reported that this practice enabled him to endure both this and other maladies.

 Neither in these matters nor in any others did he heed his mother, who gave his much excellent advice. And yet he had appointed her to receive petitions and to have charge of his correspondence in both languages, except in very important cases, and used to include her name, in terms of high praise, together with his own and that of the legions, in his letters to the senate, stating that she was well. 3 Need I add that she held public receptions for all the most prominent men, precisely as did the emperor? But, while she devoted herself more and more to the study of philosophy with these men,

Ce qui veut dire – attention, c’est un peu déprimant – que les années vécues entre l’âge de 5 et 10 ans vous paraissent aussi longues que les années qui séparent vos 40 ans de vos 80 ans. Alors, activez-vous ! Le temps passe vite… et ça ne s’arrange pas avec le temps.

La faute à la routine ? Une autre théorie suggère que cette sensation est associée à la quantité de nouvelles perceptions auxquelles nous sommes exposés au fil de notre vie

Mais pourquoi mesurer notre perception à l’aide d’une échelle logarithmique ? Parce que notre rapport au temps est relatif à l’âge que nous avons : pour un petit de 2 ans, une année représente la moitié de sa vie, ce qui explique que la distance entre deux anniversaires semble si longue à un enfant. Pour un marmot de 10 ans, une année ne représente que 10 % de sa vie (il devient alors un peu moins difficile d’attendre son prochain anniversaire), et pour un jeune de 20 ans, une année ne représente plus que 5 % de sa vie. Voilà pourquoi le temps semble s’accélérer avec l’âge.

Revoking a device requires a trusted root authority, which is the Identity Key. This approach is required because if any device were allowed to revoke another it would not be possible to know which devices remain under the control of the Identity owner and which have been compromised. An attacker might revoke all the non-compromised devices and thereby take over the Identity.

a device publishes the Device Certification Messages for all its siblings

Devices form a certification DAG with the Identity Key as its root.

Bot Identity Keys are created by the host Bot Container during Bot Instance creation and are securely stored within the container environment for the lifetime of the Bot Instance.

Interactive users create their Identity Key during initial onboarding: "Create New Identity". After initially signing certification messages that assert the user's name, and authorize the local device (see device keys below), the Identity Private Key is not retained. It must however be saved as a paper key or word phrase, or in a secure hardware token for potential later use in device revocation.

Joining a new party requires user action on only one device. Other devices can automatically join without user intervention. (Each device may be configured by the user to only replicate a subset of parties).

a user's devices operate under a single identity for the purposes of access control in a party.

The device provisioning process is one-step (once provisioned a new device is admitted to all current parties).

Private keys are never exchanged across devices. Devices must be revocable, with other nodes able to determine which feeds and messages from a revoked node should still be considered valid, dating from prior to revocation.

Each device needs to have only its own Device Key and keys for its local feeds. No need to have a master key available on devices for normal operation.

which cannot be changed.

An identity is secured by a private key (which has a recovery mnemonic), which is used as the root of trust.

Characteristics of visual images such as the emotional dimension (valence/arousal), subject matter (familiarity, ambiguity, novelty, realism, and facial expressions), and form (sharp and curved contours)

In addition to valence and arousal, novelty is a critical stimulus dimension for amygdala engagement. Weierich, Wright, Negreira, Dickerson, and Barrett (2010) conducted an fMRI study that examined the contributions of novelty, valence, and arousal to amygdala activation. The study showed that in comparison to negative (vs. positive) and high (vs. low) arousal stimuli, the amygdala had higher peak responses and a longer period of activation to novel (vs. familiar) stimuli. They also found that novelty could be dissociated from valence and arousal and have independent affective significance. On a behavioral level, the authors found a strong relationship between novelty and arousal, demonstrating that subjects found novel images more arousing, which would, in turn, also have an impact on the amygdala. Because amygdala activation links to fear and anxiety, the novelty of stimuli should be considered carefully in settings where people might be vulnerable.

The expression of fear as emotion is manifested in physiological responses such as blood pressure, freezing, and hormonal change, and it is mediated by the outputs of the amygdala to lower-brain centers (insula, hypothalamus), whereas the experience of fear is a feeling, a conscious higher-level recognition of being scared, involving the frontal and sensory cortices (Nanda, Pati, & McCurry, 2009).

Ulrich (2009) shares two theories supporting the impact of nonthreatening nature scenes on improved physiological and psychological outcomes. The first is the evolutionary theory or biophilia theory, which holds that millions of years of evolution have lefthumans genetically prone to respond positively to nature settings that fostered well-being and survival for early humans. As outlined in Appleton's (1975) evolutionary theory, specific attributes of landscapes that dictate aesthetic preference concern prospect (opportunity/ vantage point) and refuge (safety/shelter)-both essential for survival. The second theory Ulrich identifies is the emotional congruence theory, the notion that emotional states bias human perception of environmental stimuli in ways that are congruent or match feelings (Ulrich, 2009).

Accordingly, key word searches using emotional state (fear/pain/anxiety), fMRI, and visual were conducted in PubMed (an online database for biomedical literature).

Additionally, nearly half of survey respondents (46%) communicate more frequently with friends and family via technology than in person,

Field observations, a survey of 100 Elon students, and an analysis of previously conducted studies provided evidence that the rapid expansion of technology is negatively affecting face-to-face communication.

In the United States, open heart surgery can run as much as $150,000—more than most Indians make in a lifetime. Given the cost, almost no one in India who needed heart surgery actually got it. Shetty saw an opportunity to create a new market for cardiac care. Today NH performs open heart surgeries for $1,000 to $2,000, with mortality and infection rates comparable with those in the United States. By increasing the utilization of its most expensive resources—personnel (especially surgeons) and medical equipment—it drastically reduced the cost of operations. It uses tiered pricing, whereby wealthier patients can pay more to get certain services, such as a private room. But the quality of care is standard across all patients.

This is what sets market-creating innovators apart: the ability to identify opportunities where there seem to be no customers and to create a business model that upends the way things have always been done

So Leftley tried again, changing both the product and the way he reached potential customers—offering them free insurance through their mobile phones. People could sign up without paying any premiums; they simply had to buy a certain number of extra minutes. They could keep earning this insurance by renewing the purchase each month. When a customer buys the required minutes, the telecom company pays his or her premium to both MicroEnsure and the partner insurer. Over time customers are offered additional insurance products, such as “double cover” (for a spouse) and “family cover,” which cost extra—from three cents to $1 per month, with payment collected through their phones. Revenue from the supplemental plans is split among MicroEnsure, the partner insurer, and the phone company.

Founded in 2002, MicroEnsure has registered more than 56 million people in emerging economies for insurance (adding 18 million in 2017 alone), paying out $30 million in claims and radically innovating the insurance business model. It has introduced new forms of protection for customers, including microhealth, political-violence, crop, and mobile insurance.

People can make bad economic choices based on something Thaler dubbed the “endowment effect,” which is the theory that people value things more highly when they own them. In other words, you’d ask for more money for selling something that you own than what you would be willing to pay to buy the same thing.

Legislation to stem the tide of Big Tech companies' abuses, and laws—such as a national consumer privacy bill, an interoperability bill, or a bill making firms liable for data-breaches—would go a long way toward improving the lives of the Internet users held hostage inside the companies' walled gardens. But far more important than fixing Big Tech is fixing the Internet: restoring the kind of dynamism that made tech firms responsive to their users for fear of losing them, restoring the dynamic that let tinkerers, co-ops, and nonprofits give every person the power of technological self-determination.

Today's Web giants want us to believe that they and they alone are suited to take us to wherever we end up next. Having used Adversarial Interoperability as a ladder to attain their rarefied heights, they now use laws to kick the ladder away and prevent the next Microcomputer Center or Tim Berners-Lee from doing to them what the Web did to Gopher, and what Gopher did to mainframes.

The Gopher story is a perfect case history for Adversarial Interoperability. The pre-Gopher information landscape was dominated by companies, departments, and individuals who were disinterested in giving users control over their own computing experience and who viewed computing as something that took place in a shared lab space, not in your home or dorm room. Rather than pursuing an argument with these self-appointed Lords of Computing, the Gopher team simply went around them, interconnecting to their services without asking for permission. They didn't take data they weren't supposed to have—but they did make it much easier for the services' nominal users to actually access them.

Aristotle’s view of the process: “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.”

Buying carbon offsets might still have greater impact in the short run, but you can’t see them, so their purchase is less likely to be contagious.

I looked up through the smoke of my cigarette and my eye lodged for a moment upon the burning coals, and that old fancy of the crimson flag flapping from the castle tower came into my mind, and I thought of the cavalcade of red knights riding up the side of the black rock
