Using Free & Open Digital Texts with K-12 Readers: Curating Quality Resources...Peggy Semingson
During the global Covid-19 pandemic of 2020, issues of access to educational resources became a prominent issue and challenge in K-12 settings. Even with the right technology hardware, access to digital resources and texts became another challenge. As some public library systems and/or school libraries were not open or nearby, access to digital texts became necessary and vital to maintaining student's reading skills and providing equity in reading.

Google Express and Amazon Prime both offer same-day delivery of products, though they operate their supply chains differently. Amazon operates its own warehouses and distribution, while Google partners with local retailers to shuttle packages. Amazon has more experience with over 10 years in the business, giving it an advantage in infrastructure and customer data. However, Google Express continues to grow and improve, and the retailer that can offer the fastest delivery will have an advantage going forward as same-day delivery becomes more important to customers.
Presentation: http://slidesha.re/T3hFS8
By now you no longer need convincing. Wikipedia is not only a ubiquitous reference platform for our users, but is also home to a thriving, global volunteer community that is eager to distribute the deeper expertise residing in museums. So now what? As a group of Wikipedians who help museums share content, GLAM-Wiki has made great strides in formalizing over the past few years. But how do museum technologists better connect and interface with this resource? How can we work together to more efficiently share our media, research, and expertise?
This presentation shares the current progress of the GLAM-Wiki infrastructure, offering insights into how museums can best connect with the Wikipedia community in order to share cultural resources on the globally accessible platform. The future of GLAM-Wiki will be considered, including a proposed model that will allow museums to support one another in Wikipedia-focused endeavors.

· Chapter 41, p. 990
Vanessa Denai owned forty acres of land in rural Louisiana. On the property were a 1,600-square-foot house and a metal barn. Denai met Lance Finney, who had been seeking a small plot of rural property to rent. After several meetings, Denai invited Finney to live on a corner of her land in exchange for Finney’s assistance in cutting wood and tending her property. Denai agreed to store Finney’s sailboat in her barn.
With Denai’s consent, Finney constructed a concrete and oak foundation on Denai’s property and purchased a 190-square-foot dome from Dome Baja for $3,395. The dome was shipped by Doty Express, a transportation company licensed to serve the public. When it arrived, Finney installed the dome frame and fabric exterior so that the dome was detachable from the foundation. A year after Finney installed the dome, Denai wrote Finney a note stating, “I’ve decided to give you four acres of land surrounding your dome as drawn on this map.” This gift violated no local land-use restrictions. Using the information presented in the chapter, answer the following questions.
1. Is the dome real property or personal property? Explain.
2. Is Denai’s gift of land to Finney a gift causa mortis or a gift inter vivos?
3. What type of bailment relationship was created when Denai agreed to store Finney’s boat? What degree of care was Denai required to exercise in storing the boat?
4. What standard of care applied to the shipment of the dome by Doty Express?

Discussion: Week 4: Possible Effects of Poverty on Young Children’s Language and Literacy Development
Imagine that there are two 4-year-old girls standing in front of you. One girl, whom you might assume to be from a more economically affluent home, has hair that cascades down in neat curls, a dress ablaze with bright colors, and a new princess lunchbox in her hand. The other girl appears a bit unkempt, with mismatched socks and a sweet, yet sleepy, smile. Without hearing either girl speak, which might you select as the one with a greater vocabulary? Why?
Like most people, you might gravitate toward the child who appears to be from the more economically affluent home. Although this choice might seem stereotypical, this selection does mirror findings from research studies that have linked vocabulary development and skill statistically with economic background. For example, one study found that by 3 years of age, there was a 30 million word gap between children from the wealthiest and the poorest families (Fernald, Marchman, & Weisleder, 2013). What is the reason for this gap? How can the daily contrasts between each environment affect the ability to acquire and develop language?
Simply put, language is derived largely from parental support and diverse experiences. Because of a variety of factors, children in low income environments generally ...
