"Education plays an important role in shaping our future and success. Students and parents have become more vigilant and aware about choosing the right educational institute for them/their wards. Thanks to the rising awareness and easy access to the internet, people now check online, each and every detail about the institute they are interested in. Going to an educational institute means an investment of both time and money so today's generation wants to make sure that it is inducted in the right place. Therefore, you will find almost all the institutes having their websites now to give full information about them. Today we have come up with 40 Education WordPress themes specially designed to keeping in mind the needs of the education industry. Please have a look."

"there is no live teacher engagement... Currently, just 10 percent of MOOC registrants complete their courses. Where Will MOOCs Be Just Two Years From Now? Within the next two years, MOOCs will quickly evolve from lacking teacher engagement to having a lot of teacher engagement. Right now, it's essentially a model where computers are teaching students. This model is simply not sustainable in the long run without live student-teacher engagement. Teachers are the key that unlocks learning in these courses. They help students resolve issues and problems. Will the biggest change in online education moving forward be putting live teachers at the center of the MOOC (not just on video)? We will know the answer very soon."

"It has me thinking about what it would mean to improve online classes. A few ideas come to mind: Use multiple platforms. I'm not against using an LMS as a central hub. However, I think it's valuable to experiment with the types of productivity tools you will actually use outside of a classroom. Use Google Docs to share ideas, create surveys, and ask questions. Use Google Hangouts to meet as a group. Go project-based. I haven't figured this out entirely with my first class but my hope is that we can go fully project-based in the same way that my face-to-face class is. In fact, the asynchronous nature of online classes actually means there is a better potential of creating a project-based culture that mirrors the way people actually work on projects. Make something together. I use a collaboration grid with co-creating and communicating on separate spectrums (x-axis) and multimedia and text on another spectrum (y-axis). This has been an effective way to think through collaborative tools that allow students to co-create. Embrace a synchronous/asynchronous blend: I love using Voxer because students can speak back and forth in the moment. However, if they miss it, they can listen to it later. The same is true of using a Google Hangouts On Air. Make it more connective. We tend to treat online instruction as if it is a linear process and we don't do enough to link things back and forth and connect ideas, resources, discussions and content creation in a seamless, back-and-forth nature. Incorporate multimedia. It's a simple idea, but I create a short video at the beginning of each week and I encourage students to create video and audio as well. This has a way of making things more concrete. There's something deeply human about hearing an actual human voice. I know, crazy, right? Go mobile. I don't simply mean use a smart phone. I mean assign some things that allow students to get out in the world and create videos, snap pictures,

"Last year I went to West Kalimantan in Borneo to see for myself the effects of the runaway growth of the palm oil industry. I came home firm in the belief that Iceland would not continue using palm oil until companies delivered on their zero deforestation commitments. This is because palm oil has had devastating consequences for local communities, who are being displaced, and on endangered species like the orangutan (our closest relative in the wild), which are being driven close to extinction. Palm oil has many benefits, chiefly that its yields are better than the alternatives. But it is grown almost exclusively in areas of tropical rainforest, which are the 'crown jewels' of our planet's biodiversity. With 146 football pitches of rainforest being lost every hour in Indonesia alone, the urgency of the crisis cannot be overstated. And global demand is set to double by 2050. At Iceland the 1,000 tonnes of palm oil we used annually pale into insignificance compared to many of our competitors. As such a tiny player we took the decision that the only way we could create meaningful change was to shout very loudly from outside the established palm oil industry. So we decided simply to stop using palm oil until the industry cleaned up its act. It was our own decision to give consumers a choice where previously there was none. We never called for a wider industry ban, and accept entirely that a wholesale boycott of palm oil is not the right long term solution. ..."

"Contents:Notebook of Leonardo da Vinci ('The Codex Arundel'). A collection of papers written in Italian by Leonardo da Vinci (b. 1452, d. 1519), in his characteristic left-handed mirror-writing (reading from right to left), including diagrams, drawings and brief texts, covering a broad range of topics in science and art, as well as personal notes. The core of the notebook is a collection of materials that Leonardo describes as 'a collection without order, drawn from many papers, which I have copied here, hoping to arrange them later each in its place according to the subjects of which they treat' (f. 1r), a collection he began in the house of Piero di Braccio Martelli in Florence, in 1508. To this notebook has subsequently been added a number of other loose papers containing writing and diagrams produced by Leonardo throughout his career. Decoration: Numerous diagrams. "

"What is Tour Builder? Tour Builder is a new way to show people the places you've visited and the experiences you had along the way using Google Earth. It lets you pick the locations right on the map, add in photos, text, and video, and then share your creation. How is Tour Builder different from the existing "KML Tour" feature in Google Earth? Tour Builder is accessible from your web browser, makes it easy to add photos and videos to a sequence of locations on Earth, and then share links to these tours with your friends."

"In this Instructable, I'm going to be showing you how to build your own crack the code game in which you use a rotary encoder dial to guess the randomly generated code to the safe. There are 8 LEDs on the front of the safe to tell you how many of the digits you've guessed are correct and how many are in the right place as well. The safe is initially open, allowing you to put something into the inside compartment. The Arduino and battery are housed in a separate compartment in the back. You then push the dial to lock the safe, which is done using a servo on the inside of the door. You then need to input the code by turning the dial to select the digits and pushing the dial to confirm each digit. After your fourth digit is chosen, the safe displays how many of your digits are correct and how many of them are in the correct place using the red and green LEDs on the door. "

"Un informe de Human Right Watch ha estudiado el comportamiento de 149 aplicaciones que han sido utilizadas en 49 países, con el consentimiento de los gobiernos, en relaci´n a la infancia.

"El blog escolar es una herramienta que cada vez se va afianzando más y más en los centros escolares, bien sea a través de una asignatura, bien sea a través de un blog de tutoría… Es por ello que, ante el creciente aumento que está protagonizando dicha plataforma, conviene tener algunos aspectos perfectamente definidos. Es el caso de los derechos de imagen de los alumnos. En este artículo tengo la intención de daros a conocer qué aspectos hay que tener en cuenta si se decide la creación de un blog escolar por lo que respecta a los derechos de imagen de nuestros alumnos."

"Tenemos que explicar por qué ni madres ni padres pueden decidir si sus hijas e hijos reciben o no educación sexual en la escuela. Porque los niños y las niñas son sujetos de derecho y porque el Estado es el garante. Y que, además, esto está reconocido en convenciones internacionales ratificadas en la Constitución Nacional y en leyes nacionales como la 26.601 (de derechos de niños, niñas y adolescentes) o la ley de Educación Nacional. Tenemos que explicar, también, que la educación sexual es inevitable. Que no existe la posibilidad de no educar sexualmente, que educamos con lo que hacemos, con lo que decimos y con lo que callamos. Y es a partir de la disparidad de la educación sexual que cada niño, niña o adolescente recibe en su familia y entorno, que el Estado ofrece los contenidos mínimos necesarios para garantizar un piso equitativo entre las infancias y adolescencias de todo el país. Tenemos que explicar, además, que el 70% de los abusos infantiles se da dentro de la familia. Y que los abusadores no necesitaron una ley de educación sexual para perpetrar esos abusos. Entre otros temas, la ESI enseña a niñas, niños y adolescentes que entre sus derechos está que no acepten que nadie les toque sin su consentimiento, que puedan diferenciar una caricia de un abuso. Tenemos que explicarles que, aunque hayan elegido una escuela confesional, la educación en la Argentina es pública y se rige por una misma ley (Ley 26.206), indistintamente de la forma de gestión, que puede ser pública o privada, confesional o no. Y que más allá de las diferentes opiniones respecto de la ESI de las diferentes iglesias, todas deben adecuarse a las leyes nacionales y a los Lineamientos Curriculares propuestos por el Ministerio de Educación de la Nación en 2008. Tenemos que ser capaces de explicar que nadie plantea que las familias no sepamos qué se les enseña a nuestros hijas e hijos. Porque, para el beneficio del programa, la ley prevé la ne
