Golden feels somewhat guilty about showing movies in class because teachers are often judged negatively for it. However, movies can be better learning tools than just showing them to occupy students. Great films are equivalent to classic literature in conveying human experiences and should be viewed as educational texts to analyze. Integrating film into the English classroom can help teach common core standards and engage students through a medium they enjoy. Teachers need not feel guilty about using film judiciously to enhance learning.
The document provides options for bridesmaid dresses for Leahy-Duntemann wedding on October 26, 2013, asking the recipient to choose their top two options and agree to be a bridesmaid within 30 minutes. While guidelines state the bride has already purchased the dresses and will make the final choice, the conclusion reveals this was a joke to ask the recipient to be a bridesmaid at the wedding.
Ogres Are Like Onions: Peeling Back the Layers of Film as Textmistersloan
This document discusses using films in the English classroom. It begins by noting that some teachers feel guilty about showing movies, perhaps because others think they are not truly teaching. However, the document argues that great films can be used as texts to teach important skills. It provides examples of how to integrate film study into the curriculum, such as having students analyze films for literary elements. The document also discusses how film study can help teach common core standards and provides rationales for using films to engage students and teach core English concepts.
The document discusses building large scale web apps with Backbone.js. It summarizes the author's experience with two Backbone.js apps, finding that structuring the code into distinct modules like models, views, and controllers helped speed development of the second app significantly. While Backbone.js provides useful building blocks, the document cautions it may not scale well without established patterns and needs additional structure beyond its core components. The author advocates an MVP-inspired pattern with specialized modules to manage different aspects of the app.
Backbone.js gives you all the tools needed to build applications of all sizes. But one component of Backbone development commonly overlooked is testing. How to unit test with Jasmine and utilize them for your Backbone application is covered in these slides.
Scaling Crashlytics: Building Analytics on Redis 2.6Crashlytics
This document discusses using Redis to track user activity and events. It describes storing boolean user activity data in bit arrays to track metrics like daily/weekly active users. It also covers using hashes to track event counts by day/hour and grouped by properties. Sequential IDs are generated using a sorted set to ensure monotinic integers. The document provides code examples for common patterns like recording user activity, events, and generating sequential IDs.
