Working in the Global Classroom: A Teacher's Journey (#RSCON4)Michael Graffin
Over the past few years, my global connections have transformed the way I learn, the way I teach, and the way I see the world. My global journey started in 2011, when I gave my first ever presentation at #RSCON3, and co-founded The Global Classroom Project community. And this year, it took me to the iEARN 2013 Conference in Qatar, where I shared my experiences on the world stage.
In this session, I will explore how teachers can enrich their students’ learning, broaden perspectives, and transform their teaching practice by connecting beyond their classroom walls. I’m returning to where it all began, exploring the tools, communities, and online networks which helped me connect, learn, share, and collaborate beyond my classroom walls, and helped me become the educator I am today.

This document discusses the environmental and human impacts of extracting and processing materials for electronics production. It notes that extracting a single batch of computer chips requires large amounts of toxic chemicals and produces hazardous waste. E-waste recycling in developing countries like Nigeria and Lagos exposes people to toxic dust and materials. Semiconductor manufacturing produces air and water pollution, and workers have experienced health issues like cancer clusters. Effective regulation and enforcement of environmental standards is still lacking in some areas.
The 1.7 kilogram_microchip_energy_and_ma (1)Soumitra Pal
This document summarizes the materials and energy used in the production of semiconductor devices. It finds that producing a single 32MB DRAM chip requires 1600g of secondary fossil fuels and chemicals, 32,000g of water, and 700g of elemental gases like nitrogen. Producing the silicon wafers from quartz requires 160 times as much energy as producing typical silicon, showing purification to semiconductor grade is energy intensive. Due to its highly organized low-entropy structure, a microchip's materials intensity is orders of magnitude higher than traditional goods. The analysis aims to characterize the environmental impacts of the semiconductor industry by analyzing material and energy flows through the production process.
Focus Metals plans to begin production of high-purity flake graphite from its Lac Knife project in Quebec by the end of 2013. The project has measured, indicated, and inferred resources totaling over 10 million tonnes of graphite grading over 15% carbon. Focus also holds a 40% stake in graphene producer Grafoid, and sees potential applications of graphene in areas like construction materials, medicine, and recycled plastics. The company's low projected production costs and offtake agreements mean it can begin production without a full feasibility study.
Electronic waste (e-waste) describes discarded electrical or electronic devices. Rapidly changing technology and planned obsolescence have resulted in a fast-growing amount of e-waste globally. E-waste contains hazardous but also valuable materials. There is disagreement around the relative risks of e-waste and whether restricting the international trade of used electronics improves or worsens conditions. While recycling e-waste recovers materials, informal processing in developing countries can cause health and environmental problems due to toxic emissions and water contamination.
Graphene was first isolated in 2004 and its potential applications were recognized early, leading to the 2010 Nobel Prize in Physics being awarded to its discoverers. While graphene has excellent thermal and mechanical properties and allows for high electron mobility, widespread commercial applications are still lacking. Large investments have been made in graphene research totaling over $2.4 billion but manufacturing costs remain high due to the energy-intensive production processes needed. While some graphene phones and touchscreens have begun limited production, traditional materials remain cheaper to use. Graphene's future prospects depend on reducing production costs and developing applications that leverage its unique properties and take advantage of its high frequencies for applications like transistors.

Richard Karn - Resources & Energy Symposium 2012Symposium
This document discusses emerging trends related to specialty metals and infrastructure investment opportunities. It notes that demand for specialty metals is driven by technological advancement and that supply is constrained. Infrastructure projects focused on pipelines, electrical grid upgrades, and water/wastewater treatment could help rebuild infrastructure in a cost-effective manner while creating jobs. Smaller, less intrusive government is also seen as a positive trend. Overall the document advocates that specialty metals and infrastructure are well positioned given emerging demand drivers.
This document provides a review of graphene, including its history, properties, synthesis, and potential applications. In 3 sentences:
Graphene is a single atom thick sheet of carbon atoms in a tightly packed hexagonal structure that was first isolated in 2004, has remarkable mechanical and electrical properties such as being very strong and highly conductive, and can be synthesized through various methods including chemical vapor deposition and exfoliation of graphite.
This document discusses the global issue of electronic waste (e-waste) and its impacts. Rapidly obsolete electronics are discarded in huge volumes, much of which ends up processed in unsafe, polluting ways. While some developed nations have enacted laws against dumping e-waste in landfills, much is exported under the guise of recycling but actually ends up being crudely dismantled and burned in places like Guiyu, China and Agbogbloshie market in Ghana, exposing workers and communities to toxic emissions. Though some countries and manufacturers have implemented take-back programs, illegal flows continue as the informal sector finds new locations with lax regulations to set up dangerous dismantling operations for the valuable metals inside e-waste
E-waste is a fast growing component of municipal solid waste that contains valuable materials and hazardous toxins. While landfilling is common, recycling and reuse has economic and environmental benefits. It can create 15-200 times more jobs than landfilling per ton of electronics by salvaging materials. Upgrading existing electronics saves 5-20 times more energy than new purchases. However, improper disposal of 315 million obsolete computers in 2004 would release over 1 billion pounds of toxins like lead, cadmium, and mercury into the environment. Recycling reduces greenhouse gas emissions and conserves resources compared to manufacturing new electronics.

Rising Need for Environment Sustainable Responsibility by the Firmspaperpublications3
Abstract: The need for environmental sustainable responsibility by firms has risen on an altogether new level as the year 2011 ended with the largest ever jump in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The bitter truth is that the carbon intensity of the world’s fastest growing economies is only rising despite futile efforts of UN climate talks.
It is imperative for an organization to work collectively towards reorganizing the world’s systems of energy and agricultural production by optimizing its capabilities, assets and even by flexing its political muscle to directly influence inadequate policies.
Practically this is rare as companies tend to “greenwash” their image by misrepresentation of facts to popularity & profits. On the other hand companies such as Google & IBM have been genuinely effective in playing their part in environment sustainability.
The document discusses several environmental issues related to technology, including the growing problem of e-waste, toxic sites in Silicon Valley from earlier electronics manufacturing practices, ways to reduce energy consumption through color and materials selection, and alternative energy technologies like solar, wind, and fuel cells. It notes both the challenges and opportunities in developing more sustainable materials and energy solutions.

seems terribly ironic at a time when there is
such an intense awareness of environmental re-
sponsibility and all things “green. Businesses in
North America spend $65+ billion per year on
print media advertising. The average office work-
er generates 2 pounds of paper waste per day.
Paper and printing related expenditures typically
represent 15 to 30 percent of every corporate

7. The problem (2): manufacturing
The number of toxic materials needed to make the 220 bil-
lion silicon chips manufactured annually is staggering: highly
corrosive hydrochloric acid; metals such as arsenic, cadmium,
and lead; volatile solvents like methyl chloroform, benzene,
acetone, and trichloroethylene (TCE); and a number of su-
per toxic gases.
“The materials are just part of the problem,” pointed out
JoLani Hironaka, director of the San Jose, California-based
Santa Clara Center for Occupational Health (SCCOSH),
which works on behalf of computer chip industry workers
in Santa Clara County, where Silicon Valley is located. “There
has been a tremendous growth in the number of industries
manufacturing chemicals and other materials used at com-
puter chip plants and in the amount of waste generated in
the production process.”
According to Graydon Laraby of Texas Instruments, the
manufacture of just one batch of chips requires on average
27 pounds of chemicals, 29 cubic feet of hazardous gases,

8. The problem (3) consumption
Aggregate electricity use for servers doubled over the pe-
riod 2000 to 2005 both in the U.S. and worldwide. Almost
all of this growth was the result of growth in the number
of the least expensive servers, with only a small part of that
growth being attributable to growth in the power use per
unit.
Total power used by servers represented about 0.6% of to-
tal U.S. electricity consumption in 2005. When cooling and
auxiliary infrastructure are included, that number grows to
1.2%, an amount comparable to that for color televisions.
The total power demand in 2005 (including associated in-
frastructure) is equivalent (in capacity terms) to about five
1000 MW power plants for the U.S. and 14 such plants for
the world. The total electricity bill for operating those serv-
ers and associated infrastructure in 2005 was about $2.7 B
and $7.2 B for the U.S. and the world, respectively.(Koomey,
Jonathan G. (2007), ‘Estimating Power Consumption by
Servers in the US and the World, Lawrence Berkeley Na-
tional Laboratory, Stanford University, Stanford, February. )
We found that total direct power use by office and net-
work equipment is about 74 TWh per year, which is about
2% of total electricity use in the U.S. When el ectricity
used by telecommunications equipment and electronics
manufacturing is included, that figure rises to 3% of all elec-
tricity use (Koomey 2000). More than 70% of the 74 TWh/
year is dedicated to office equipment for commercial use.

9. The problem (4) recycling
In Lagos, while there is a legitimate robust market and abil-
ity to repair and refurbish old electronic equipment includ-
ing computers, monitors, TVs and cell phones, the local ex-
perts complain that of the estimated 500 40-foot containers
shipped to Lagos each month, as much as 75% of the imports
are “junk” and are not economically repairable or market-
able. Consequently, this e-waste, which is legally a hazardous
waste is being discarded and routinely burned in what the
environmentalists call yet “another“cyber-age nightmare now
landing on the shores of developing countries.”

10. . . . the division between nature and politics, humans and non-
humans, has had detrimental effects upon not only how we see
ourselves in relation to nature, but also on democratic politics
and contemporary green political thought and practice. I argue
that political theory needs to put aside the distinction between
humans and the nonhuman world and build a democratic poli-
tics based on a new ontology that incorporates the messy hy-
brid entities of human and nonhuman, natural and social.

The Greek prefix epi- in epige-

genetics; thus epigenetic traits

the traditional molecular basis
for inheritance across individuals (assemblages) and which
transverse phyletic lineages and organismic
boundaries (rhizomes). This requires the
articulation of a distributed conception of
agency. The challenge is to show that nature
consists of a field of multiplicities, assemblages
of heterogeneous components (human, ani-
mal, viral, molecular, etc.) in which ‘creative
evolution’ can be shown to involve blocks of
becoming. (Ansell Pearson, K. (1999) Ger-

12. it is not enough to talk about nature and politics; we also
have to talk about science. But here is where the shoe pinch-
es: ecologism cannot be simply the introduction of nature
into politics, since not only the idea of nature but also the
idea of politics, by contrast, both depend on a certain con-
ception of science. Thus we have to reconsider three con-
cepts at once: polis, logos, and phusis.
CHAPTER 1: Why must political ecology let go of nature?
. Because nature is not a particular sphere of reality but the
result of a political division, of a Constitution that separates
what is objective and indisputable from what is subjective
and disputable. To do political ecology, then, we must first
of all come out of the Cave, by distinguishing Science from
the practical work of the sciences. This distinction allows
us to make another one, between the official philosophy of
ecologism on the one hand and its burgeoning practice on
the other. Whereas ecology is assimilated to questions con-
cerning nature, in practice it focuses on imbroglios involving
sciences, moralities, law, and politics. As a result, ecologism
bears not on crises of nature but on crises of objectivity). If
nature* is a particular way of totalizing the members who
share the same common world instead of and in place of
politics, we understand easily why ecologism marks the end
of nature in politics and why we cannot accept the traditional
term “nature,” which was invented in order to reduce public http://www.bruno-latour.fr/virtual/index.html#
life to a rump parliament. To be sure, the idea that the Western notion of nature with it. Thanks to the sociology of the sciences, to the practice of ecologism,
is a historically situated social representation has become a commonplace. to anthropology, we can thus understand that nature is only one of the two
But we cannot settle for it without maintaining the politics of the Cave, since houses of a collective instituted to paralyze democracy. The key question of
doing so would amount to distancing ourselves still further from the reality of political ecology can now be formulated: can we find a successor to the collec-

To give political ecology its place, we must then avoid the shoals of repre-
sentations of nature and accept the risk of metaphysics. Fortunately, for this
task we can profit from the fragile aid of comparative anthropology. Indeed, Summary of the argument (for readers in a hurry . . .) (extract) from Bruno
