  • Some ways that I use SMARTboard in my classroom: With my morning message. After students read my morning message, I often include a “ps” that invites them to come up and respond to a question or graph. To watching BrainPOP movies and playing the quizzes. To go over math problems. To create charts. To look at maps or photographs. To view interactive websites. To prepare for tests (way more exciting on a SMARTboard!). As a math tool (for example, elapsed time, protractor, graph paper). With Inspiration software (for class brainstorms, spelling word sorts, etc.).

Tablets vs. Textbooks - ProCon.org - 1 views

shared by Kellyn Brink on 30 Jan 15 - No Cached
  • As tablets have become more prevalent, a new debate has formed over whether K-12 school districts should switch from print textbooks to digital textbooks on tablets.
  • Proponents of tablets say that they are supported by most teachers and students, are much lighter than print textbooks, and improve standardized test scores. They say tablets can hold hundreds of textbooks, save the environment by lowering the amount of printing, increase student interactivity and creativity, and that digital textbooks are cheaper than print textbooks.

      I agree with being able to have one device that can hold several important things, including school textbooks, instead of having to carry around 4 or 5 textbooks all day
  • Opponents of tablets say that they are expensive, too distracting for students, easy to break, and costly/time-consuming to fix. They say that tablets contribute to eyestrain, headaches, and blurred vision, increase the excuses available for students not doing their homework, require costly Wi-Fi networks, and become quickly outdated as new technologies are released.

    Textbooks will always be useful in my opinion. Tablets can be used in many situations. I will always prefer turning the pages of a book but most students want to learn and read more from tablets.

New cellular pathway triggering allergic asthma response identified -- ScienceDaily - 0 views

shared by pospyhalan23 on 29 Jan 15 - No Cached
  • earchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine, with collaborators in Korea and Scotland, have identified a novel signal
  • he results are published in the January 19 online Early Edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
  • "These findings and the related mechanism are very different from the current residing view of activation of specific T helper cell responses," said principal investigator Eyal Raz, MD, professor of medicine. "The role of cAMP formation and action in dendritic cells in the induction of allergic response was really surprising," added co-author Paul Insel, MD, professor of pharmacology and medicine. "It suggested to us that this signaling pathway is involved in other immune-related functions." The immune response of humans, mice and other vertebrates consists of two fundamental components. The first is the innate immune system, which recognizes and responds to pathogens in an immediate, but generalized, way and does not confer long-lasting immunity. The second is the adaptive immune system in which highly specialized T and B cells eliminate or prevent pathogen growth -- and create immunological memory in case of future encounters with the same pathogen. Th2 immunity is one of two major aspects of adaptive immunity. Th1 responses target intracellular pathogens, such as viruses and bacteria that have invaded host cells. The Th2 response is more effective against extracellular pathogens (such as bacteria, parasites and toxins that operate outside of cells) and also plays a major role in allergic reactions and related diseases. Allergic asthma is triggered by inhaled allergens, such as pet dander, pollen, mold and dust mites. It is characterized by inflammation and narrowing of the airways, resulting in wheezing, chest tightness, shortness of breath, coughing and other symptoms. The common form of allergic asthma is associated with an exaggerated Th2 immune response. Allergic asthma affects people of all ages, most often appearing in childhood. More than 25 million Americans suffer from the condition.
