THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
ย
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

In this presentation, we will explore how barcodes can be leveraged within Odoo 17 to streamline our manufacturing processes. We will cover the configuration steps, how to utilize barcodes in different manufacturing scenarios, and the overall benefits of implementing this technology.
This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the bodyโs response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.
2. THE FASHION TRAIN Your parents can always embarrass you. Especially the way they dress. See, 'cause I have a theory. I think your parents are riding along on the fashion train, and one day they go "that's it, I ain't going any farther."ย - Jeff Foxworthy

Editor's Notes
Some of us either canโt afford to upgrade or figure weโll replace it when it breaks. Some of us just keep using the tools weโve always used because they work so we canโt see a reason to change. Some of us just donโt have time for the learning curve it would take to implement something new.
When new technology comes out where do you tend to fall? Some of us canโt wait to buy the newest gadget and start using it. Some of us wait before we invest in new technology to see if itโll last. Anyone remember 8 tracks tapes or Betamax video players? Anyone invest in HD DVDโs? It looks like Blue Rays has won out as the new format.
Sure overhead projectors are classic piece of classroom equipment. They still do the job. Why do you think powerpoint and projector can take their place?
Hereโs an updated version of the overhead. You donโt have to make a transparency to use this guy. You can project directly from a piece of paper or piece of artโฆor a 3-D object like a calculator or anything else you want everyone to see. Some connect to microscopes. Itโs not that we want to buy a bunch of these because they are new technology and we want to look cutting edge. They have the potential to enhance learning in ways the old overheads cannot do.
But it doesnโt matter whether the crowded page full of tiny letters is projected by an old overhead or a brand new state of the art projector, teaching is much more about content and engagement.
We still have to use them effectively. Powerpoints can be just as snooze-inducing as a completely covered overhead transparency or blackboard. Better tools allow us greater scope. New technology helps us make our subjects more interesting, relevant, engaging and accessible to our students.
Sociologists divide our population into social generations but differ on just when each generation begins & ends. How we use media . and how we provide and access information is a factor. Boomers have always had television but typed their term papers on typewriters. Most were under 30 when Saturday Night Live debuted. Generation X have always had video games and desktop computers but remember a time before the internet. They were teenagers when MTV started. Millennials donโt remember being without computers or cell phones. They have never lived in a time when information was not available 24/4.
If youโre not a millennial these are probably your comfort zone technologies.
How we talk to one another, solve problems, and seek and perceive respect differ. Based on this research, face-to-face conversations arenโt as important to Millennials or Gen. Xers. Itโs interesting to note that Xers and Boomers come up with solutions independently then talk to other people. Millennials like to tackle it together.
According to Pew Research 75% of Millennials have a profile on social media like Facebook or MySpace. 83% sleep with their cell phones, and 88% use their cell phones to text. Theyโre social, digitally literate, mobile, experiential multi-taskers. With technology, With each other, Online, In their time, In their place, Doing things that matter. If we want to impact our students beyond test day, prepare them for higher education and work, if we want them to become lifelong learners we have to embrace the tools they use to communicate.
How WE expect students to approach learning often runs counter to the way our students really are. The typical Millennial approaches learning with this sort of focus but we require this to be successful. Balance technology & lecture. Be active & engaged in teaching. Use PowerPoint & other technology effectively.
The way many 21 st century learners process knowledge is more like a word cloud. They like to switch gears a lot. Helping them develop focus and discipline can be a challenge but these students have strengths that hold the potential for them to become creative, active learners.
Active learners are intellectually and emotionally engaged. Technology offers tools that students already use to engage them in content creation, communication and collaboration about learning. Engage your students in different learning experiences. This is NOT about technology โ it IS about interactivity!
If you climbed off the technology train ten years ago, now is the time to climb back aboard. If youโre already on the train, we need your help as well. In a few minutes weโll do a survey of technology skills and interests. Itโs not a test. You arenโt expected to emerge from this year a technology whiz. You are expected to learn a couple of new skills and implement them into your lessons. The survey is a way to connect you with the learning you need to make that happen.
Letโs look at some options. This is an interactive whiteboard that can be used with your computer to engage learners. Students can write on the board, manipulate the information and whatever you do on the board can be downloaded onto Edline so you can reference it later. You can offer your students a variety of learning experiences and choices about how to interact with the learning. We have one of these. We hope to get more. Soon we will offer training and ideas for using the Smartboard with your students.
We looked at the camera projector earlier. We have one right now and I hope we can get more. Weโll offer training on this as well.
Online databases, Internet searches, and Web2.0 tools are great resources for delivering learning. Web 2.0 tools are interactive tools, many of them free with registration, that you can use to develop higher level thinking skills and test for learning by helping students create subject-related content on the web. There are so many great tools out.
Private Wikis are online spaces where only members of a group can share content and participate in group editing. Hereโs an example of a high school class wikiโฆ.(show wiki then click link to blog) and hereโs the teacherโs blog.
Blogs allow us to publish online in a public space. Often blogs include space for feedback after each article where readers can add comments and share resources and ideas. Hereโs an ed tech blog I like. There are links and ideas as well.
This is an example of a Web 2.0 Collaborative Wiki. Teachers post lesson plans, helpful web sites, projects, and other online resources relevant to technology in the classroom. This site has links to tools, but also lessons and projects other teachers have already developed. Letโs go to this site and take a look at some of the things your may want to learn.
Collaboration is a skill that makes us stronger as educators. Using collaborative tools like Outlook calendar is a way to help us balance the demands we place upon our students.
Edline is the tool our school uses for teachers use to communicate with parents and students. We require that you post syllabi, weekly lesson plans, assignments and grades. We can post handouts and links for our students to access and send email to parents and students.
Technology is more user friendly than ever before and there are lots of things out there that can really enhance your studentโs learning experiences. Sure, not everything you try will be perfect the first time but just trying something new is likely to engage your students and help them think about the learning. Excellence comes with practice and you canโt practice what you donโt try. This year we want you to try something new in your classrooms. We want you to become more comfortable with integrating technology to communicate the content you already teach to your students. We want to form collaborative learning groups in order to connect people who want to learn the same things and to create mentoring opportunities with members of the faculty who are already skilled using a particular technology. (Pass out surveys) Take a few minutes and identify what you already know how to do, choose two or three things you want to try, identify skills that you possess that youโd be willing to teach others. By the end of August weโll form our learning communities and start trying new things.
