    "Air pollution may be damaging every organ and virtually every cell in the human body, according to a comprehensive new global review. The research shows head-to-toe harm, from heart and lung disease to diabetes and dementia, and from liver problems and bladder cancer to brittle bones and damaged skin. Fertility, foetuses and children are also affected by toxic air, the review found."

Plummeting insect numbers 'threaten collapse of nature' - 0 views

    "Exclusive: Insects could vanish within a century at current rate of decline, says global review The world's insects are hurtling down the path to extinction, threatening a "catastrophic collapse of nature's ecosystems", according to the first global scientific review. More than 40% of insect species are declining and a third are endangered, the analysis found. The rate of extinction is eight times faster than that of mammals, birds and reptiles. The total mass of insects is falling by a precipitous 2.5% a year, according to the best data available, suggesting they could vanish within a century."

Small Changes in Teaching: The First 5 Minutes of Class - 0 views

  •  
    "Open with a question or two. Another favorite education writer of mine, the cognitive psychologist Daniel Willingham, argues that teachers should focus more on the use of questions. "The material I want students to learn," he writes in his book Why Don't Students Like School?, "is actually the answer to a question. On its own, the answer is almost never interesting. But if you know the question, the answer may be quite interesting." My colleague Greg Weiner, an associate professor of political science, puts those ideas into practice. At the beginning of class, he shows four or five questions on a slide for students to consider. Class then proceeds in the usual fashion. At the end, he returns to the questions so that students can both see some potential answers and understand that they have learned something that day. What did we learn last time? A favorite activity of many instructors is to spend a few minutes at the opening of class reviewing what happened in the previous session. That makes perfect sense, and is supported by the idea that we don't learn from single exposure to material - we need to return frequently to whatever we are attempting to master.But instead of offering a capsule review to students, why not ask them to offer one back to you?Reactivate what they learned in previous courses. Plenty of excellent evidence suggests that whatever knowledge students bring into a course has a major influence on what they take away from it. So a sure-fire technique to improve student learning is to begin class by revisiting, not just what they learned in the previous session, but what they already knew about the subject matter.Write it down. All three of the previous activities would benefit from having students spend a few minutes writing down their responses. That way, every student has the opportunity to answer the question, practice memory retrieval from the previous session, or surface their prior knowledge - and not just the students most likely to

Nativos digitales: del mito a la realidad, por @ferranadell en @CCCBLab - 0 views

  •  
    "... Durante mucho tiempo hemos dejado en manos del paso del tiempo la solución a las problemáticas educativas derivadas de la adaptación al entorno digital, pensando que serían los nativos digitales, a medida que estos poblaran las aulas, quienes provocarían el cambio necesario en los mecanismos docentes. Pero, como bien describen Benett, Maton y Kervin en The 'digital natives' debate: A critical review of the evidence, no hay ningún estudio que demuestre que los nativos digitales son más aptos, a priori, para el uso de la tecnología: la habilidad de los individuos está relacionada con las capacidades naturales, la formación y la experiencia, no con la fecha de nacimiento. El juicio que dice que los nativos digitales tienen un sofisticado conocimiento y unas altas capacidades para las tecnologías de la información debe ser, por lo menos, relativizado. ..."

    "Hace tiempo atrás hicimos un top de Los 10 mejores Software de diseño PCB en el que hablamos muy a detalle de diversas aplicaciones que nos permitían dar vida a nuestros proyectos electrónicos, en esa oportunidad no conocíamos a LibrePCB y sinceramente creo que es un crimen que no haya estado incorporado en dicho listado, pues para tratar de redimirnos traemos una review de este grandioso software de diseño PCB gratuito y libre."

Pervasive human-driven decline of life on Earth points to the need for transformative c... - 0 views

  •  
    "The time is now. For decades, scientists have been raising calls for societal changes that will reduce our impacts on nature. Though much conservation has occurred, our natural environment continues to decline under the weight of our consumption. Humanity depends directly on the output of nature; thus, this decline will affect us, just as it does the other species with which we share this world. Díaz et al. review the findings of the largest assessment of the state of nature conducted as of yet. They report that the state of nature, and the state of the equitable distribution of nature's support, is in serious decline. Only immediate transformation of global business-as-usual economies and operations will sustain nature as we know it, and us, into the future."

JRC Publications Repository - GreenComp The European sustainability competence framework - 1 views

  •  
    "The development of a European sustainability competence framework is one of the policy actions set out in the European Green Deal as a catalyst to promote learning on environmental sustainability in the European Union. GreenComp identifies a set of sustainability competences to feed into education programmes to help learners develop knowledge, skills and attitudes that promote ways to think, plan and act with empathy, responsibility, and care for our planet and for public health. This work began with a literature review and drew on several consultations with experts and stakeholders working in the field of sustainability education and lifelong learning. The results presented in this report form a framework for learning for environmental sustainability that can be applied in any learning context. The report shares working definitions of sustainability and learning for environmental sustainability that forms the basis for the framework to build consensus and bridge the gap between experts and other stakeholders. GreenComp comprises four interrelated competence areas: 'embodying sustainability values', 'embracing complexity in sustainability', 'envisioning sustainable futures' and 'acting for sustainability'. Each area comprises three competences that are interlinked and equally important. GreenComp is designed to be a non-prescriptive reference for learning schemes fostering sustainability as a competence."
