I found this article extremely interesting. 1. I think it is great that the school was able to rebound itself from being a low performer to fitting in with the rest of the schools in the ISD after many years below the norm. 2. The approach the principal and school district took to achieve there goals was something i'd never seen before. They took out the 10th and 11th grades to focus on those students who wanted to learn and were willing to graduate. I'm not sure how I feel about the principal/district sorting students by those willing and those not, how are they to make that decision?

Formative assessment generates feedback on students' performance, thereby accelerating and improving student learning. Anecdotal evidence gathered by a number of evaluations has hypothesised that audio feedback may be capable of enhancing student learning more than other approaches. In this paper we report on the preliminary findings of a quasi‐experimental study employing qualitative techniques for triangulation, conducted to evaluate the efficacy of formative audio feedback on student learning. We focus on the delivery of 'voice emails' to undergraduate students (n = 24) and evaluate the efficacy of such feedback in formative assessment and ergo students' learning, as well as achieving a better understanding of students' feedback behaviour post‐delivery. The results indicate that audio feedback better conforms to existing models of 'quality' formative feedback, can enhance the student learning experience and can be more efficient in feedback delivery. Despite this, and high levels of feedback re‐use by student participants, the audio treatment group underperformed in learning tasks when compared with the control group. Differences between the groups were not statistically significant and analyses of individual and mean learning gains across the treatment group provide little indication of improvements in learning.

Realizing the potential for web-based communication provides a challenge for educators. The purpose here is to report students' behavioural and cognitive strategies for active learning when using an unrestricted blog in an academic context. This provides insight into how students are making sense of the incorporation of Web 2.0 technology into higher education. An analytical framework was created to investigate the willingness and competence of students to engage in the social and virtual construction of knowledge. The analysis indicated that, while the students appear to have wanted to complete the task efficiently, the process of critically constructing knowledge was not pursued with vigour. The main implication is therefore that students need to either prepare themselves or be prepared by educators to combine their informal experience of communication technology with academic requirements for actively constructing knowledge in virtual environments.

Research papers are analytical in nature. In this post, we'll learn how to write this type of academic paper...

I was very pleased when I was finally able to find a resource where people are engaged in writing various kinds of articles for money.

Stone usually forms in the kidneys and descends down in the urinary tract to cause symptoms. It usually follows an infection, stagnation or abnormality in the urinary tract. It may also occur due to excessive calcium intake, hyperparathyroidism, blood disorders like sickle cell disease or gout etc. It may be found in renal pelvis, ureter, urinary bladder or in the urethra. Common variety is a phosphate salt of calcium and /or magnesium. Around 40% to 50% of stones give rise to shadow in a plain x-rays film of abdomen and pelvis. It causes severe pain in the abdomen depending on the site of impaction of stone. Its diagnosis is both easy and difficult. When pain is felt in the upper abdomen due to stone in the kidney most often simulates acid peptic disease, cholecystitis or pancreatitis. Pain in right lower abdomen may confuse with appendicitis. Pain in the abdomen may occur associated with vomiting, fever or blood in urine.

The experiences of Chinese learners on two e‐learning programmes in China were investigated, focusing particularly on the formation of learning communities. Data were collected using a range of instruments to access the learners' perspectives in depth and detail. Archer's account of reflexivity as the mediating power between structure and agency is applied to understanding how learners succeeded in one programme in forming a learning community, through their negotiated responses to the existing structural and cultural conditions, whereas little evidence was found of the emergence of learning community in the other case. Further understanding emerges from reappraisal of Confucian philosophy of learning and social relationships, how these influenced the participants' prior learning experiences and how they play a part in their responses to the e‐learning experience.

e objective of this study was to test whether information presented on slides during presentations is retained at the expense of information presented only orally, and to investigate part of the conditions under which this effect occurs, and how it can be avoided. Such an effect could be expected and explained either as a kind of redundancy effect due to excessive cognitive load caused by simultaneous presentation of oral and written information, or as a consequence of dysfunctional allocation of attention at the expense of oral information occurring in learners with a high subjective importance of slides. The hypothesized effect and these potential explanations were tested in an experimental study. In courses about literature search and access, 209 university students received a presentation accompanied either by no slides or by regular or concise PowerPoint slides. The retention of information presented orally and of information presented orally and on slides was measured separately in each condition and standardized for comparability. Cognitive load and subjective importance of slides were also measured. The results indicate a "speech suppression effect" of regular slides at the expense of oral information (within and across conditions), which cannot be explained by cognitive overload but rather by dysfunctional allocation of attention, and can be avoided by concise slides. It is concluded that theoretical approaches should account for the allocation of attention below the threshold of cognitive overload and its role for learning, and that a culture of presentations with concise slides should be established.

The paste of India and the paper industry has been protected by government policy for over three decades. Controls on the production, distribution and prices hampered growth industry substantially. During the paper shortage in the 1970s and later in the year 1980 the government has actively supported the company in the paper industry in providing financial incentives of technocrats and entrepreneurs through financial institutions.

The hour to teach the slip is when a boy starts to play the baseball. It is more close to the ground and eager to learn. Let grass increase 6 or 8 inches top in the stinking territory at the end of an enclosure or an outside the barrier of outfields. It is all the cushion which the player has need.
