Dual immersion on the rise in california
Dual immersion programs, where students are taught content in both English and another target language, have grown significantly in popularity since first being introduced in the United States in 1962. While Proposition 227 banned bilingual education in California in 1998, it helped pave the way for dual immersion to gain prominence instead. California now leads the country with 133 dual immersion schools across 80 districts. The Glendale Unified School District offers programs in seven languages and hopes to make all of its students bilingual by the end of primary school. As dual immersion expands, it provides benefits to both English and non-English speaking students by helping them learn not just academics but also about other cultures.

The Sound of the Common Core
This document discusses how to incorporate music into Common Core classrooms to foster collaboration, discussion, and deeper learning. It argues that quiet classrooms are no longer optimal and that music can help create student-centered environments that align with Common Core standards. Specific tools like Pandora, Spotify, and YouTube are recommended for accessing music to set moods, engage students, and support different types of learning activities. The document advocates putting music selection tools in students' hands and references research on how background music can benefit learning and behavior.

Pinterest tutorial final
Pinterest is a social media application that allows users to create boards to organize and share content they find online through "pins". It encourages collaboration by letting users see what others are pinning and comment on pins. In education, Pinterest can be used to create class boards where students can explore topics and share resources. Students can compile information for research projects through pins without spending class time. While it provides visual inspiration and organization, Pinterest also has limitations like potential copyright issues and dead links over time.
Poster assignment 10.9
The human brain contains 5 main lobes - the frontal, parietal, temporal, and occipital lobes, as well as the brain stem. Each lobe is responsible for different cognitive functions - the frontal lobe is involved in reasoning and motor skills, the parietal lobe processes sensory information, the temporal lobe handles memory and language, and the occipital lobe processes visual information. The cerebellum and brain stem regulate vital body functions.
Poster assignment 10.9.13

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
