    A great little physics game. It can really be extended if you get into creating your own levels. It is an excellent addition to a SMART board.

  • Explore Our Maps » Environment » Ecology » Ecological Framework » Terrestrial Ecozones Map.
  • On the Terrestrial Ecozones map, the researchers click Get Info from Map and then on each province. The recorder writes down the ecozone name and physiography on the outline map of Canada.
  • to help them decide if the ecozone falls into a category of polar, grasslands, rainforest or forest if the answer is not obvious.

  • Students create a master map that indicates where the polar, grassland, rainforest or forest regions are in Canada. They can indicate which parts represent the regions using illustrations or textually. They can use an overhead projector to make a large wall map of Canada. They should draw symbols that represent polar, grassland, desert, rainforest or forested regions.
  • Student groups are assigned a region (polar, grassland, desert, rainforest or forest). Each group uses electronic or non-electronic sources to find another country that has an example of that region, for example, the polar region of Norway, Russia or the African Savannah. They can begin research in the Atlas’ Learning Resources Section and select Other Online Atlases.
  • outline master map of the world.
  • examples of polar, desert, grassland, rainforests and major forests are globally.

      I think that the use of the tools that technology now allows such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram enable us to be more empathetic - e.g. the outpouring of support for #laloche.  Facebook and Twitter helped create connections that allowed people to then get together face-to-face to grieve and provide support.
  • Turkle too often assumes screen-mediated communication comes in only one flavor, which cannot grasp the complexities of our always augmented sociality, to say nothing of how screens are differently used by those with different abilities.
  • We should not conceptually preclude or discount all the ways intimacy, passion, love, joy, pleasure, closeness, pain, suffering, evil and all the visceral actualities of existence pass through the screen. “Face to face” should mean more than breathing the same air.

  • This screen-mediated communication is face-to-face, in person, physical, and close in so many important ways, and distant in only one
  • The camp study, relying on shoddy methods and inaccurate conclusions, exemplifies how cultural fears and emotional appeals can facilitate the spread of unsubstantiated claims, cloaked in science.”
  • Why this presumption of doom?
  • How do you look at everyday people using digital devices to communicate with one another and suppose that they may not even know what conversation and friendship are?
  • hat people who text more often also meet face to face more; that the contemporary technologies of social isolation were, and are, the television and the automobile, not smart phones; that there’s been a recent reversal of the long post–World War II trend toward social isolation.
