Mapping Media to the Common Core (May 2014)Wesley Fryer
Slides from Dr. Wesley Fryer's presentation on May 23, 2014, for teachers in Bethany Public Schools, Oklahoma. The session description was: Digital literacy today means much more than searching the Internet and using Microsoft Office. To be digitally literate, teachers as well as students need to be able to create and share online a variety of different multimedia products. These media products can be “mapped” to your curriculum and to the Common Core State Standards. Interactive Writing, Narrated Art, 5 Photo Stories, Radio Shows, Visual Notes, and Narrated Slideshows/Screencasts are a few of the media products learners should be able to create and safely share online. In this session, we’ll view different examples of student media products and learn about tools and strategies for helping teachers become digitally literate as “media mappers.” We’ll also explore how librarians and instructional coaches can use the “Mapping Media to the Curriculum” website as a roadmap to help teachers and students create media products as assignments for class and as artifacts in digital portfolios.

Community plunge.take the plunge into healthy family relationshipsLorraine Blackman
"If you want to be an engineer, doctor, accountant, etc., there are schools for that; but if you want to be a mother, father, husband, or wife there are few, if any schools.
The importance of child rearing and marriage is left to guesswork, trial and error, and whatever you picked up from your parents“

HUSC Body of Knowledge: Family and Consumer SciencesRita Conley
The document discusses the mission of family and consumer sciences and how the definition of family has changed over time. It examines different family structures that have emerged such as nuclear families, blended families, single-parent families, and same-sex civil unions. It also explores how the family functions as a social unit using systems theory and the human ecosystem model. Basic human needs like food, clothing, shelter, and relationships are viewed through the lens of how various environmental factors influence individuals and families.
A family is a group of people related by blood, marriage, or adoption that live together and care for one another by providing food, shelter, and clothing. There are three main types of families: nuclear families consisting of parents and children, extended families with additional relatives like grandparents and cousins, and single-parent families headed by one parent. Family members show they care for each other through activities like eating dinner, going camping, or swimming together.
Social institutions are structured social mechanisms that govern behavior and promote social order and cooperation. The main social institutions discussed in the document are the family, education, religion, economic institutions, and government. Each institution has various functions, such as socializing individuals, transmitting culture, and controlling behavior, in order to maintain social stability.

This document defines and provides examples of four kinds of formal eduction: conversion, obversion, contraposition, and inversion. Conversion involves interchanging the subject and predicate of a proposition while maintaining quality. Obversion changes the quality and uses the contradictory of the original predicate. Contraposition uses the contradictory of the original predicate as the new subject. Inversion uses the contradictory of the original subject. The document provides detailed rules and examples for each kind of formal eduction.
The document discusses several key social institutions from a sociological perspective:
1. Education serves functions like teaching skills, enhancing social mobility, and promoting unity, but can also support inequality, according to conflict theorists.
2. Religion can be defined as a system of beliefs and practices regarding sacred things that unite adherents, and includes theism, ethicalism, and animism. Religion both reflects and can influence society's structure.
3. Power and the state involve one party exercising power over others through legitimate or illegitimate means. Authority can be traditional, charismatic, or legal. Politics and economics vary between totalitarian and democratic states.
Social institutions are phenomena that account for enduring and repetitive social structures. They develop gradually and unplanned over time to meet important societal needs like providing new members, socializing children, addressing health issues, assigning jobs, creating knowledge, and promoting social unity. Social institutions tend to be conservative and change slowly due to being legitimized as logical and natural. A change in one institution can impact others due to their interdependence. While fulfilling core functions, the specific form of institutions differs between societies.
The most important small business trends in 2014Radius
This document discusses predictions from experts about the most important small business trends to watch for in 2014.

Experts also predict challenges around healthcare costs, access to capital, and a growing emphasis on sustainability and green practices.
Social institutions are groups that perform social roles and socialize people. Key social institutions include families, governments, universities, and religious groups. Social institutions have several functions like simplifying social behavior, providing social roles, coordinating culture, and controlling behavior through shared expectations. The five major social institutions are family, education, religion, economics, and government. The family's functions include reproduction, socialization of children, and providing identity. Education's functions are transmitting culture, socializing children, and preparing them for social and economic roles. Religion's function is providing meaning and spiritual guidance.
Retail is changing fast. Customers are embracing digital and behaving in more complex and challenging ways. They are shopping everywhere and at any time. They research and compare. They want to make their own versions of the product. They want to know how things are made.
Companies need to start tailoring people retail experiences.
A co-creation with Maria Lumiaho, at Futurice.
Social institutions are established sets of norms and subsystems that support a society's survival. Examples include families, governments, and universities. A social institution performs social functions like satisfying needs, socializing individuals, and coordinating and stabilizing a culture. The family is the most important social institution. It socializes children, transmits culture, and provides affection, security, and social status. Education is also a major social institution. It transmits knowledge, values, and behaviors between generations through both formal schooling and informal socialization within families. Schools have intellectual, political, social, and economic functions like teaching skills, inculcating allegiance, socializing individuals for roles, and preparing them for occupations.

2. Personal learning networks (PLNs) and the connections formed within them can replace isolation with collaboration, reinventing professional development and allowing voices to be heard beyond traditional boundaries.
3. The future of learning involves moving from fixed and closed systems to open, diffuse social networks where people and knowledge can flow freely. Learners now have more control over accessing information from around the world through platforms like YouTube.
Using Web 2.0 Tools to Create a Professional Learning EnvironmentJulie Lindsay
Every professional educator needs online spaces for portfolio development and fostering interaction and collaboration. This presentation will look at online tools that can be used to collate and present resources, to invite community interaction and contributions and to use as a platform for personal expression. It will take the perspective of the educator who has needs for storage of ideas and tools, presentation of educational artefacts, collaboration and access to other educators online. Using freely available Web 2.0 tools every educator can develop a PLE to complement their educational objectives. This presentation is produced using established online resources including blogging, wiki development, social networking tools and podcasting.

The document introduces the concept of a "Libriome Research Core", which is a proposed library research core at the University of Michigan. It summarizes that a library research core would provide centralized shared resources like other research cores, with a focus on information resources and expertise in areas like discovery, access, assessment, organization, synthesis, and dissemination of information. It then provides examples of specific services a library research core could offer, such as support for grant compliance, intellectual property, data services, data visualization, new publication types, research impact and promotion, and collaborations. The document advocates that a library could function as a valuable research core similar to other institutional cores.
