For example, culinary arts students worked across classes and grade levels to create a Highland Cookbook featuring family recipes from diverse cultures. With digital tools, the cookbook reached an authentic audience, and students became creators, not just consumers.
PL Move: Practice: Learners collaborate to create a product for an authentic audience.
At Highland, teachers engage in daily professional learning communities (PLCs), monthly embedded professional development, and recurring coaching cycles that keep technology integration meaningful.
PL Move: Systems: Structures foster cross-role collaboration (teacher teams, learning networks, PLCs).
Antiinflammatory effects (systemic effects)High levels of cortisol used in drug therapy suppress inflammatory response and inhibit proinflammatory activity of many growth factors and cytokines; however, over time some individuals may develop tolerance to glucocorticoids, causing an increased susceptibility to both inflammatory and autoimmune diseases
A recent patient I have is a middle-aged female with respiratory failure, chronic COPD, pre-diabetes that is diet-controlled, and a slow-healing wound on her forearm. Her normal random blood glucose before lunch is around 100-120 mg/dL; it is now 190-210 mg/dL. She recently had bronchitis and needs corticosteroid therapy. This patient demonstrates how chronic physiological stress, combined with necessary medical intervention, can interact and alter clinical outcomes. Her chronic illness and acute bronchitis treatment with corticosteroids stimulates the sympathetic nervous system to increase the cortisol effects. The cortisol effects promote glucogenesis and insulin resistance. This elevated glycemic state impairs wound healing by reducing leukocyte function and collagen synthesis, contributing to the staling of her arm wound. The increased blood glucose also triggers overstimulation of mitochondrial respiration, leading to increased metabolic output. I noticed an increase in her respiratory rate from 16 to 19-20 and in oxygen usage from 2L to 3L to offset the metabolic output. The patient stated she hasn’t been sleeping well due to increased oxygen requirements and a higher respiratory rate. The combination of chronic illness, acute bronchitis, and medical intervention creates a domino effect that delays the patient from healing and maintaining homeostasis.
Emotional adjustment. Remember the range of emotions presented at the beginning of the chapter? Those will likely be present in some form throughout your first weeks in college and at stressful times during the semester. Knowing that you may have good days and bad—and that you can bounce back from the more stressful days—will help you find healthy ways of adjusting emotionally.
This connects very well with me because I am an emotional mess. Stress and anxiety can interfere with daily life and struggles for not just me but for many.
What about Students with Disabilities? Students with disabilities are sometimes the most informed when it comes to making decisions about their own learning. They should understand that it is in their best interest to take ownership of their own approach to education, especially when it comes to leveraging resources and opportunities. In this section, you will learn about the laws that regulate education for students with disabilities as well as look at some resources that are available to them. Just like anyone else, under the law, qualified students with disabilities are entitled to the same education colleges and universities provide to students without disabilities. Even though a particular disability may make attending college more difficult, awareness on the part of the government, learning institutions, and the students themselves has brought about a great deal of change over the years. Now, students with disabilities find that they have available appropriate student services, campus accessibility, and academic resources that can make school attendance and academic success possible.
This passage reminds me of a news article I read about universities improving accessibility for students with disabilities, like adding more adaptive technology and inclusive classroom designs. It also makes me think of how the Americans with Disabilities Act has changed opportunities over time. I can relate because I've seen friends benefit from these resources, which help them succeed just like any other student. It shows that support and awareness really makes a difference in education.

A sudden flame, a merciful fury sent
A modern connection: This is Taylor Swift's song “Mad Woman”, which debuted as the twelfth track on her seventh studio album, Folklore, released on August 18, 2020. Written during the COVID-19 pandemic, the song addresses the criticism and societal backlash that women often face when expressing anger. I include this song as an annotation because it resonates strongly with Xantippe. Centuries of being villainized, described as “shrewd” or “crazy,” mirror the way society punished women for emotions that were deemed inappropriate. Swift’s lyrics capture this societal double standard: "And there's nothin' like a mad woman What a shame she went mad No one likes a mad woman You made her like that" These lines directly reflect the way Xantippe’s anger is treated, not as a natural or justified response, but as evidence of moral or personal failing. Swift continues: "And you'll poke that bear 'til her claws come out And you find something to wrap your noose around" This imagery parallels the way Xantippe is provoked and restricted by the expectations of her husband and society, until she finally lashes out, a physical and emotional release mirrored in Levy’s poem. Later lines, such as: "The master of spin has a couple of well-placed friends They'll tell you you're insane" highlight how women’s reputations and emotions are manipulated and controlled by societal judgment, reinforcing the same marginalization that Levy talks about. By including “Mad Woman”, we can see a direct line from Xantippe’s historical and literary treatment to modern discussions about women, anger, and the consequences of breaking imposed emotional boundaries.[]https://youtu.be/6DP4q_1EgQQ?si=e7ol3EKrAAWfHwSR
Subsequently, the slave was given, under the eye, and the gun, of his master, Congo Square, and the Bible — or, in other words, and under these conditions,.the slave began the formation of the black church, and it is within this unprecedented tabernacle that black English began to be formed.
Baldwin’s historical account of Black English’s formation complements Heller’s analysis of AAVE as identity/agency in Bambara—both center vernaculars as purposeful, not deficient.
It is not the black child's language that is in question, it is not his language that is despised: It is his experience.
Baldwin’s “it is his experience” aligns with Young’s language-justice stance and Alvarez/Wan/Lee’s translingual pedagogy—value lived experience and plural voice over monolingual “objectivity.”
It is the most vivid and crucial key to identity: It reveals the private identity, and connects one with, or divorces one from, the larger, public, or communal identity.
Where Jenkins argues SAE mastery for workplace power, Baldwin reframes power as already embedded in Black English’s identity/politics—setting up a productive tension for synthesis.
Once we havesome words, ideas, frustrations on paper, we give ourselves small writingtasks, like “just write whatever you can or feel about X topic for 5 minutes.”
Pedagogy in action: The authors’ translingual strategies (freewriting, revision cycles) complement Young’s call to teach descriptively and embrace code meshing in the same paper.
Yes, you read this correctly: standard written English is not an objectiveset of criteria.
Standard vs. plurality: This chapter challenges the “objective” status of standard written English, contrasting with Jenkins’s claim that mastering a single standard is central to professional success.
Teachers frequently encounter him on panels with titles like“The Expanding Canon: Teaching Multicultural Literature InHigh School.” But the dude is also hella down to earth.
Vernacular as agency: Young’s code meshing aligns with Heller’s claim that AAVE conveys identity, confidence, and critique; both position vernacular forms as tools of voice and resistance.
(1) Iowa Republican Senator Chuck Grassley sent two tweets to President Obamain June 2009 (Werner).
Pragmatics vs. plurality: Young promotes blending codes in public/professional writing (e.g., Grassley tweets), while Jenkins urges mastery of a single standard for workplace credibility.
In the opening sentence of "The Lesson," Bambara clearly indicates that Sylvia is narrating in AAVE. Here, Sylvia describes Miss Moore as an adult with "nappy hair" (87).
Identity/agency: Heller’s framing of AAVE as pride and resistance aligns with Lysicott’s argument that vernacular resources carry identity and should be leveraged within academic spaces.
Later that day I received a reply from a young bank employee offering further details. Actually, I have no idea if she was young — I just assumed she was because her long e-mail was full of emoticons and text-messaging abbreviations — including, I kid you not, “LOL.”
Gatekeeping vs. pragmatics: Jenkins frames SAE as practical for credibility with unknown audiences, while Young critiques “Standard English” as gatekeeping that marginalizes nonstandard varieties. (Used for concept-map edge between Jenkins / Young.)
. In one class, my 24 students spoke 17 languages. I can tell you from experience that those students were eager to master standard American English — once I explained to them what it is (and isn’t) and how it could benefit them. They saw it as a key that could unlock the world of higher-paying employment.
Access vs. identity: Jenkins emphasizes SAE as a key to employment, while Lysicott foregrounds code-meshing to honor identity and agency within academic/professional spaces. (Used for concept-map edge between Jenkins/Lysicott.)
complicates the realm of public controversy
This makes me think of toxic discourse, where environmental harm is frequently hidden behind technical language/ Schwarze's argument that melodrama complicates a situation mirrors readings where this has been discussed.
neness of feeling
The concept of oneness of feeling directly connects to the Schwarze's earlier critique of Burke. Burke favors the comic frame because it lessens tension and promotes unity. While melodrama does the opposite. Both approaches depend on how audiences are asked to feel their way into a public controversy.

When choosing a shear remember that they can last up to 15 years or longer, depending on how often you sharpen and how you care for them.
For me personally, this is definitely the goal especially if I'm purchasing a high quality, and expensive pair of shears , I'm going to take very good care of them so they will last hopefully as long as that 15-year mark.
Different shears are designed to serve different functions, so it’s important to have a range of tools available in the salon. If you’re a student or new stylist, start with the basics: a wet cutting shear, a longer dry cutting shear, an invisible blender, and a more aggressive texturizing shear. As you continue to grow your craft, take note of the techniques you perform most often and invest in more specialized tools. You’ll see a difference in your results, creativity and excitement behind the chair!
I didn't know where to start or what tools I need. But with this information, I feel more relieved and guided toward what I'll need in the future. Thank you for the information.

the sense we have now began when Paleolithic hunter-gatherers started settling into Neolithic agricultural villages. And then at that point, there was a separate human space—it’s the village and the cultivated fields around it. Hunter-gatherers didn’t have that, they’re just wandering through “the wild,” “wilderness.” Of course, that idea would make no sense to them, because there’s no separation.

Each layer of an LLM is a transformer,
This is related to the video because ChatGPT 3.5 uses the same method to change wording. LLM is a very important thing when using ChatGPT because it is able to make sentences transform into more proper and correct sentences
In the attention step, words “look around” for other words that have relevant context and share information with one another. In the feed-forward step, each word “thinks about” information gathered in previous attention steps and tries to predict the next word.
This is very similar to the ChatGPT video because how ChatGPT produces their answers, is by other peoples answers or searches. Words look for each other to make everything relevant and be put together well, while ChatGPT puts peoples searches together to create one answer.
language models end up learning a lot about how human language works simplyby figuring out how to best predict the next word.
I'm using this quote again because it connects to the video on where ChatGPT models learn how to predict words for their responses. The prediction from ChatGPT leads to complex possibilities and Dobrin connects to this where context is the main reason why AI can make these predictions.
Some peopleargue that such examples demonstrate that the models are starting to truly understand the meaningsof the words in their training set. Others insist that language models are “stochastic parrots”
This sentence connects to Dobrin's perspective on ChatGPT limits, arguing whether ChatGPT actually understands the language or just copies answers that sound right. Even in the video, it talks about ChatGPT's model where it creates responses based on context rather that being conscious.
Conversations are the ultimate intersection.It's where the rubber meets the road. Where we leave the safety of our own mind and force ourselves to make our nebulous ideas legible to ourselves and others. It's dangerous to be at intersections. Thoughts are going in all directions. You might have to merge lanes. You might miss a light. Someone honks at you. Random pedestrians dash out without warning. You might not even know where you're going.

As a part of understanding the needs, designers must connect to the use and development of the design to understanding the engagement and challenges.

Last May, The Wall Street Journal reported that more than seven million households moved to a different county during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 -- nearly half a million more than in 2019. Remote working options and the desire for more space spurred a mass exodus from dense metropolitan areas into more affordable areas.

Much of what we're seeing in the economy right now can be attributed to the pandemic. In March 2020, the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic caused the US economy to shut down. Millions of employees were laid off, many businesses had to close their doors and the global supply chain was abruptly put on pause. This caused the flow of goods produced and manufactured abroad and shipped to the US to cease for at least two weeks, and in many cases, for months, according to Pete Earle, an economist at the American Institute for Economic Research.

the development of media technologies and their global distribution have long since made usfamiliar with the idea that we ourselves are media.
This claim relates to later statements about humans being in the middle (like medium thinking as media being both an infrastructure of how we act and are) of the pandemic mediation in that humans are part of the process of transformation and intersection between themselves and other nonhuman powers. I think intersection in this instance is more of a cooperative and cohesive existence with nonhuman and human entities that naturally intersect.
can exist only through itsessential correspondence with the eye
The emphasis on a sense of relation or the act of relating to the world around us is a concept Ingold's piece shares with Imbler's work on the "blue blob." Both authors point towards a necessity to recognize the inherent relation one has to the world around them.
How, you wonder, can you be here, in place and at home in yourbody, and at the same time inhabit an atmospheric world that returnsthe body to you as a spectre? In that existential doubt lies the engine ofperception.
This idea ties to the subjectivity and objectivity as mentioned in class. Rather the objectivity and subjectivity of sensing and perception can exist simultaneously. It reminds me of the Daoist work of Zhuangzi. This work is comprised of various parables on natural and humanist reflections. A very fundamental principle of Daoism is the mimicry of nature as it exhibits the Dao, or the Way. One such parable depicts Zhuangzi and Huizi, a prime minister, strolling along a dam. Zhuangzi makes a comment that the minnows are so joyful as they "dart around where they please." Huizi rebuts saying "You are not a fish -- how do you know what fish enjoy?" Zhuangzi eventually concludes that he know what the fish enjoy simply by standing by the river. The parable gets at the subjectivity of his observations intertwined with the objectivity of the fish's actions. They are existing together much like the observation of a stars light and the objective luminescence of a star. It gets slightly at perspective but creates a fascinating tension between the objective and subjective. If you want to read the parable is is here: https://terebess.hu/english/tao/Zhuangzi-Burton-Watson.pdf on page 276.
namely,that light needs no eyes to exist; it only needs eyes to establish its relevance.
This reminds me of ideas from Maiello's article "Post-Media Virality." Such as humans being a medium for the Coronavirus. The virus does not need humans specifically to exist. But, without humans there would not be a nearly as large spread, and the virus itself would not be documented.

The quote "infinitely distant and yet touch the soul" draws in similar ideas seen in Imbler's article "Are We Really So Different?" Both this quote and Imbler talking of Dr. Morton's perception of deep sea creatures touch on the idea of distance. Although we are far apart from both space and deep sea, we are connected to them because we as beings are connected. Although we are physically far from the stars we feel connected through emotion and art. Although we are far from the deep sea, we are connected beings through empathy and emotional connection. Both articles bring the idea of distance, and turn it into something new.
Of course there could be no experience of light without the incidence ofradiant energy, or without the excitation of photoreceptors in the retina, butas an affectation of being - as the experience of inhabiting an illuminatedworld - light is reducible to neither.
The affectation of being is interesting given the nature of stars. Many that hit our eyes no longer exist in the cosmos although they are illuminated to us. However, this painting still seems to hold true even in a temporal sense. In other words put "to stand in place and open one's eyes upon the night sky is not to extend one's being along a continuum" (95). This affectation of being is simultaneous and swirling. In some sense there is the being of the stars being along with the being of ourselves that is simultaneously portrayed in conjoined perspectives.
Of course there could be no experience of light without the incidence ofradiant energy, or without the excitation of photoreceptors in the retina, butas an affectation of being - as the experience of inhabiting an illuminatedworld - light is reducible to neither.
This argues for antireductionism, as the text author argues that because the act of seeing light is such a unique experience, it can not be reduced and/or represented in the basic atmospherical and physiological definitions for why we physically see light.
as though one were looking at the cosmos from afixed perspective, but rather to capture the temporal unfolding of a visualawareness that unites us with the cosmos in the very moment that it dividesus from ourselves.
This claim of the art capturing the temporal unfolding of a visual awareness that unites us with the cosmos in the very moment and divides us from ourselves furthers his later statements on the art both opening the visual field that (in the instance of the stars in the painting) gives the atmosphere of the sky as long as it merges with the field of the viewer or artists attention connecting ourselves with the cosmos.

Perhaps this is the relationship that is materialized in a post-media world that Maiello was speaking of. We have relegated some of our sense to technology as they enable us to access perceptions that our bodies are unable to. Maybe the differences is translational rather than relational. In this instance with seismic sensors, we can translate senses we do not posses to senses we do possess. Maiello was talking more about the relational sensing that we cannot replace with technology (although it may be tempting).

This claim of the sensors data and monitoring of the common planet creates a sense-able Earth digital planet which requires a review of how environmental data and monitoring might arrive and exhibit different planetary inhabitations and relations. Thus these sensors express how observation practices are both experiences of the Earth and expressions of how to collectively inhabit Earth. This kinda of relates to Imbler's idea of collectively actively inhabiting the Earth through anthropomorphism.
arguing that intimacy should hold space for strangeness, where all beings canbe their full selves, however incomprehensible those selves may be to others
The concept of intimacy here provides an alternative response to our "instinct" or tendency to distance ourselves from the things we find strange. Rather than fleeing from the strange thing, one makes intentional, deep contact with it.

This is abhorrence to the unknown is thought to be part of our psychology. We make patterns and molds in which to fit the world into. It makes internal processing much easier, especially when confronted with a dangerous situation. For example, when things, such as the sea-blob, go against our conceived notions of ocean animals we are more cautious as we don't know to internally lable them as "safe and cuddly" or "they will eat your arm off". (read: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4141622) I'm not a super big fan of this article as its very anthropocentric but it points to some ideas about patterns that have been thought to help us survive. While the above article may refute this, animals do a similar "patternization" of their surroundings. Its a shortcut to take in senses, really, but I think it often leads to, as Juliette said, schismogenesis. In my classes I haven't found much literature contradicting the "pattern" notions of sensing per psychology, as much as I don't like them. I'd be interested to see if other had come across any literature.
o ignore or deny the ways we see ourselves inanimals might enable our exploitation of them, such as through factory farms.
The claim furthers the later points about humans empathy and anthropomorphism as a an appreciation practice towards incomprehensible objects or things. While humans inclination again may be to oppose those things, it creates a sense of reverence towards their "otherness" if you will.
Reports about the blue goo described it as “formless, faceless and limbless,”descriptors defined in opposition to ourselves, our faces and our limbs.
This idea of defining objects, people, or things in opposition to us, rather than defining and grouping ourselves based on commonalities and inclusivity, we group ourselves by defining and excluding those who are opposed from us. It's like schismogenesis in that we define ourselves against each other.
Georgetown professor and author of The Necessary Journey, Ella Washington, captured the issue perfectly when she said, “Connecting with employees is often seen as ‘extra’ work for managers, so it goes to the bottom of the list. Companies need to make it clear — it is not extra; it is essential.”
Connection with employees should be among the top priorities of your leadership team. Creating space for genuine connection inside roles like team lead and manager are essential to your team's long term success and culture development.

Looking back at a problematic choice or action taken provides a useful beginning in the effort to function differently. “Gee, I wish I had not done that,” or “I can’t believe I did the same dumb thing again,” are examples of hindsight that offer an opportunity to pay closer attention and work on problematic behaviors. Insight might occur in the process change. This occurs when a person becomes self-aware during the commission of a regrettable action or behavior. “There I go again,” is the phrase that often accompanies an insightful moment. The advantage of insight over hindsight is that insight may occur in time for a regrettable action or decision to be avoided.

The hidden transcript is reminiscent of the the "hidden curriculum" that Jessica McCrory Calarco aims to shed light on in her A Field Guide to Grad School. Although McCrory Calarco's binary is more about those with access to knowledge of the ins and outs of academia vs those who don't, the dynamic for Scott is similar in its separating those for whom the system works and those for whom it outwardly seems an obstacle to education.

I think these prepositions are important because, otherwise, the dynamic that puts the professor lording over the student similar to the banking model could just be perpetuated in a new guise.
Scott disrupts this familiar depiction of the world gone wrong by observing that it rests on the assumption that there are those who mis- perceive reality and those who perceive it clearly, those with false consciousness and those with a scientific or true understanding of social reality
This reminds me of what we talked about in our last class. That is, how we believe that someone else is wrong because their "logic" is faulty. Such a belief implies that logic is purely objective, when it in fact, may not be. The question that arises from this observation is: who is to say who perceives the world clearly and who "misperceive[s] it?" How can we decipher which belief is correct?
One reason that Freire's pedagogy has so much appeal is that it comes armed with a rhetoric that overwhelms and neutralizes any effort to point out this tension between the Freirian insistence on a collaborative methodology, where people are taught not what to think but how, and a practice that, almost magically, produces peo- ple who know exactly what to think about injustice and how it should be redressed
I think Cooper goes along with this as well. That is, like Freire, she holds the overwhelmingly positive belief that if teachers just show students how to learn, then they will "know exactly what to think" about an issue. Such a philosophy is partially troubling because it implies that there is only one "correct" way of thinking, and that it is relatively easy to convince students to accept it.
Freire
Nearly all our readings are responding to Freire's claim that the "banking concept" of education is extremely wrong and ineffective. In her book, Cooper provided ways for teachers to divorce themselves from tradititional pedagogy teaching practices. One of the biggest ways is through classroom discussion, where everyone, not just the teacher, has a chance to talk and voice their opinions. This overrides the assumption that the teacher is the only person with knowledge and intellect in the class.
We have to decide when our efforts to influence the system are merely serving to reinforce our fears of powerlessness in the face of profound change. We are not powerless. We have ourselves. We have each other. Perhaps it is time for our interconnection to become our focus.

Recognition of the gods can be connected to an earlier comment that I made about what form they appear in. Here it seems the "voice" of Poseidon comes from within rather than taking on a physical form. Poseidon chooses to speak through Calchas who can see signs of the gods through birds. Birds are referenced in the paragraph before which is an interesting correlation (between Poseidon and Calchas) as well as a shout out to Calchas and all his bird wisdom.
