The Modern Columbian Exchange: Biovision 2012 PresentationMerck
The Columbian Exchange is a term used to capture what happened to North American Native Indians when the arrival of European settlers introduced ideas, animals, plants, and diseases that otherwise they had not yet been exposed to. Today, the Modern Columbian Exchange is occurring at a global scale, caused by unprecedented global travel and the Internet. An outcome of this Modern Columbian Exchange is disease outbreaks which have and will continue to affect dozens of countries in a very short time, impacting agriculture, tourism, and ultimately resulting in social tensions and the loss of life. The global response requires tight and timely coordination across countries. This necessitates the processing of large volumes of data – “BIG DATA” – which implies variety, variability and velocity. In this presentation, we explore the challenges of BIG DATA for preventative global health care. We answer the questions: a) how can human intelligence be more effectively leveraged to develop new insights, and b) how does this impact the design of data and information repositories? We conclude “The Time is NOW” for a new real-time analytics paradigm to transform the discovery and learning process.

The presentation proposes a strategic coherence planning process that includes committing to principles, conducting a data scan, aligning actions, analyzing results, focusing on priorities, and defining strategic actions. It emphasizes the importance of focusing systems on high-leverage goals for learning through aligned curriculum, instruction, assessment, and accountability practices.
The document discusses how public schools have historically reflected the needs of the societies that created them, focusing on a common language, basic literacy, conformity, and workforce preparation. However, economic and technological changes including the information explosion, increased globalization, and digital innovations have disrupted this model. Standards and testing were implemented to ensure universal proficiency but robots, AI, and algorithms are now disrupting routine jobs. Schools must prepare students with skills like critical thinking, problem solving, meaningful communication, and digital literacy to thrive in this new, rapidly changing environment defined by shorter disruptions between technological innovations. Assessments must support student growth and coherence across the educational system.

The document outlines a framework for setting goals, measures, and practices at the district, school, and teacher levels to improve student skills. At the district level, the community selects high-leverage student skills and agrees on standardized and non-standardized metrics to measure success. Similarly, at the school level, the community selects goals and measures. Professional learning opportunities are created at the school level aligned with needed instructional strategies. At the teacher level, goals are set aligned with the school's focus, and teachers identify standardized and non-standardized measures. Teachers engage in school-based professional learning and can add personalized learning to their plans.
This document outlines a framework for ensuring strategic coherence in education. It emphasizes aligning goals, measures of success, and practices at the district, school, and teacher levels to support student learning. The district identifies high-leverage student skills and measures of success. Schools then set goals aligned with the district's, and teachers create student learning objectives and professional goals tied to the school's. Measures and practices at each level are also aligned upward from teachers to schools to the district to ensure coherence across the system.
This document discusses creating strategic coherence in education systems by focusing efforts and connecting goals, measures, and practices. It emphasizes aligning goals for student learning across universal, building/department, and classroom levels.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
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.
This is the defining challenge of our times in public school.
Manydevices that get this job done cost little more than the graphing calculators we have been requiring them to buy for years anyway.MostConnecticut districts will go from a 100% capacity problem to a 20% capacity problem.With the affordability of these devices, if you add up what you saved by going digital and using open source, for most, that money will pay for the gap.
The only solution then is to wait – wait until that day when we can afford to buy every student the same device.Is it really more equitable to say that no one has access to technology until everyone can have the same thing?It’s not about the device, its about what we do with it.The only solution then is to wait – wait until that day when we can afford to buy every student the same device.Is it really more equitable to say that no one has access to technology until everyone can have the same thing?It’s not about the device, its about what we do with it.The only solution then is to wait – wait until that day when we can afford to buy every student the same device.Is it really more equitable to say that no one has access to technology until everyone can have the same thing?It’s not about the device, its about what we do with it.The only solution then is to wait – wait until that day when we can afford to buy every student the same device.Is it really more equitable to say that no one has access to technology until everyone can have the same thing?It’s not about the device, its about what we do with it.
How does denying children access to technology in the name of equity serve their needs?Without access they will never have the opportunity to develop the skills that their more appropriately resourced peers have at home every day.
