Gives an overview of what NY State requires for physical education in grades k-12

Despite alarming obesity rates among school-age children and a state requirement that all students get some level of structured exercise every week, many New York City schools do not provide physical education, or do not provide it as frequently as they should, according to an audit released on Tuesday by the city comptroller.

Abstract This meta-analysis of the experimental literature of distance education (DE) compares different types of interaction treatments (ITs) with other DE instructional treatments. ITs are the instructional and/or media conditions designed into DE courses, which are intended to facilitate student-student (SS), student-teacher (ST), or student-content (SC) interactions.

Learning can happen anytime, anyplace, at any age. Learning happens in K-12 and college classrooms, adult education and in professional development programs. Learning also happens in an array of other online and in-person environments: in afterschool programs and online tutorials, through mentoring, playing games, interacting with peers in person and in social networks, with smart phone apps, in volunteer workshops, at sports camps, during military training, and in countless other ways and other places.

The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) collects, analyzes and makes available data related to education in the U.S. and other nations.

Grants Will Help 241 School Libraries Buy Books Dallas, TX - Today The Laura Bush Foundation for America's Libraries announced that 241 school libraries are being awarded $1,086,926 in grants for 2011. The schools receive grants of up to $5,000 to expand, update and diversify their library book collections.

This article explains how school librarians make a difference and the significant impact they have on student achievement. "School libraries are a powerful force in the lives of America's children. The school library is one of the few factors whose contribution to academic achievement has been documented empirically, and it is a contribution that cannot be explained away by other powerful influences on student performance" (Lance).

Librarian Marie Slim knew the cuts were coming. She just didn't know they'd be this bad. For nearly 10 years, there had been a certified media specialist-and a full-time paraprofessional-at each of the six high schools in her California school district. Then things slowly began to change.

In 1876, Melvil Dewey devised an elegant method for categorizing the world's books. The Dewey Decimal System divides books into 10 broad subject areas and several hundred sub-areas and then assigns each volume a precise number - for example, 332.6328 for Jim Rodgers's investment guide, "Hot Commodities."

The following pages include tables that help school librarians learn how the AASL Standards for the 21st-Century Learner and the Common Core State Standards align.

Social bookmarking websites enhance and improve the learning experience by encouraging group collaboration and making organizing and saving web resources faster and easier for students. Social bookmarking services offer greater scope for research, integration, and collaboration compared to the more traditional bookmarking applications such as browsers, which offer limited functionality.

AASL provides a ton of research, data, and statistics saying librarians are needed to teach students 21st century learning skills. Schools staffed with librarians have better student outcomes in reading and test scores. Students who read better and are taught research skills by a librarian will have an easier time learning.

By Lauren Barack March 6, 2012 Want to see students get higher reading scores? Then make sure their schools have a media specialist. According to new research from Library Research Services, which reviewed standardized test scores from Colorado schools in 2005 and 2011, reading scores statistically increased when schools retained or gained a school librarian.

Ok, I put a link in a discussion post and I think I'm supposed to put it here. I recommended the Virtual Observatories on the Museum of Natural History's Website. http://www.haydenplanetarium.org/resources/vo
Is there something else I need to do with this now?

Is this what we are expected to do when we share a resource in the discussion? Do I need to do anything else?
