The iterative, multi - step, and reflective practice of writing is well suited to digital supports and tools, which generate digital artifacts that can be exchanged and also analyzed to reveal a student’s thinking and skil l development (National Research Council , 2001)

Writing helps students at all grade levels (a) better express thoughts, arguments, and ideas, (b) deepen content knowledge, and (c) demonstrate proficiency (Graham & Perrin, 2007) .

However, tools to support students in developing reading and writing skills are lagging far behind,

One area of great potential is for data whizzes to pair open government data with web crawl data. Government data makes for a natural complement to other big datasets, like Common Crawl’s corpus of web crawl data, that together allow for rich educational and research opportunities. Educators and researchers should find Common Crawl data a valuable complement to government datasets when teaching data science and analysis skills. There is also vast potential to pair web crawl data with government data to create innovative social, business, or civic ventures.

Property Status Conclusions and Implications Intellectual property is neither ‘scarce,’ nor does the taking of it leave “enough, and as good, left in comm on for others” (the Lockean proviso) (Long, 1995, n. pag.; Locke, 1690, Chap. V, Sect. 27).

Both ways being possible, the subject can plainly be handled systematically, for it is possible to inquire the reason why some speakers succeed through practice and others spontaneously; and every one will at once agree that such an inquiry is the function of an art.
