Teachers Creating Curation

For some  time we have been exploring the world of ePubs. Actually it has been since the iPad v1 entered the world, that we sought out the possibilities.  We first used Sigil and then Pages to make our first rudimentary ePubs but it was not until iBooks Author came along that it became apparent that staff could make ePubs with ease.

What is important is that  ePubs heighten the  idea of teachers taking greater curation control of the information their students need.

Great teachers know the students in their class and what learning they need and ensure that its delivered. Wikis and the web have provided avenues for staff to generate class specific corralled learning  resources. ePubs can provide another format that is targetted and updateable, embedded with tightly focussed information and tasks.

Decline of honey bees now a global phenomenon, says United Nations

"The way humanity manages or mismanages its nature-based assets, including pollinators, will in part define our collective future in the 21st century," said Achim Steiner, UN Under-Secretary-General and UNEP Executive Director.

"The fact is that of the 100 crop species that provide 90 per cent of the world's food, over 70 are pollinated by bees.

"Human beings have fabricated the illusion that in the 21st century they have the technological prowess to be independent of nature.

"Bees underline the reality that we are more, not less, dependent on nature's services in a world of close to seven billion people."

Declines in bee colonies date back to the mid 1960s in Europe, but have accelerated since 1998, while in North America, losses of colonies since 2004 have left the continent with fewer managed pollinators than at any time in the past 50 years, says the report.

A few years ago, DisneyWorld executives were wondering what most captured the attention of toddlers and infants at their theme park and hotels in Orlando, Florida. So they hired me and a cultural anthropologist to observe them as they passed by all the costumed cast members, animated creatures, twirling rides, sweet-smelling snacks, and colorful toys. But after a couple of hours of close observation, we realized that what most captured the young children's attention wasn't Disney-conjured magic. Instead it was their parents' cell phones, especially when the parents were using them. Read the article: http://bit.ly/MaA9ha
