Recycled plastic bottle vegetable gardening is an effective way to combat hunger, desertification, and grow plants in urban areas. By collecting plastic bottles from around the world and teaching people how to use them for container gardening, they can help reduce hunger, educate children, decrease plastic waste, and provide a sustainable food source even in dry or urban environments. The document shows examples of using cut plastic bottles for container gardening, with the top portion placed over the bottom to create planters that can grow vegetables like parsley, lettuce, and cauliflower.

Students at St. Dorothy's Senior School participated in several environmental initiatives. Andrea Cini and Thalia Massa created a winning slogan - "Reduce, Recycle, Reuse, Think of Our Planet Before You Refuse" - and logo depicting hands holding a growing plant to represent the earth. Material bags with the slogan and logo were produced and sold to raise funds.

Recommended resources on PBL and contacts for follow up are also provided.
Simple k12 performance task assessment
This document discusses performance task assessments as a form of 21st century assessment. It begins by explaining that performance tasks assess higher-order skills like critical thinking by giving students real-world scenarios and roles. They must evaluate documents and provide solutions in formats like memos or speeches. The document then provides steps for schools and teachers to design and implement their own performance tasks, such as collaborating to identify the skills to assess, developing an age-appropriate scenario for students, and creating rubrics and scoring collaboratively. It emphasizes that performance tasks provide authentic assessments of the skills students need for the future.
The minefield of_accreditation
The document discusses the changing landscape of accreditation for online and blended learning programs. It notes the increasing emphasis on outcomes over inputs by organizations like iNACOL and in the Common Core standards. There is no universally accepted set of quality standards for online and blended learning. Independent schools will need to ensure any collaborative arrangements maintain accountability and school culture integrity as accrediting bodies determine how to evaluate new program models.
Blending assessment for 21st century learning
This document explores four approaches to assessing 21st century learning: (1) assessing basic skills using computer adaptive testing, (2) assessing higher order thinking skills, (3) assessing non-cognitive skills, and (4) putting it together using project-based learning, digital portfolios, and demonstrations of learning.

Creativity crash course observation project
- 1. Sprouts & Walgreens: A Contrasting Study Jonathan E. Martin Nate Martin (age 10) Creativity: A Crash Course MOOC November 1, 2012
- 2. Differences Nate. • Walgreens is less natural • Sprouts is a grocery store; Walgreen’s drug. • Walgreens is blue , grey and white-Sprouts is green and brown Jonathan • Sprouts has higher ceilings, more airy. • Sprouts has lots of unpackaged foods on display; Walgreen’s has only packaged foods. • Sprouts has younger and more “hip” employees.
- 3. Similarities Nate • They’re both stores • They both have impulse items near the exit • They both have big signs. Jonathan • At both, people are there to get stuff, not browse. • Both have are crowded with merchandise. • Both have a wide variety of items.
- 5. Sprouts–suggestions from Jonathan • The “farm stand” design and aesthetic was previously unnoticed by me, but on closer examination it became more apparent and quite appealing. The colors, green and brown, and the carts on which sat food displays, support the effect. • I’d suggest they do more with this– make it more evident than it is now– put out hay or straw in certain places, dress employees in plaids or in overalls, put a tractor in front, put prices on chalkboards, etc.
- 7. Walgreens- suggestions from Nate • Not as bright • More adaptive environment [more colorful , different gendered employees, better placed products] • Closer to door pharmacy • Not as bright sign
