  •  
    HDPE pond liners, or High-Density Polyethylene liners, have become essential materials in various applications, particularly in water containment systems. These liners are designed to provide a barrier that prevents water from escaping, ensuring the integrity and sustainability of ponds, lakes, and other water bodies. The robust characteristics of HDPE make it an ideal choice for diverse environments, including agriculture, aquaculture, and landscape design. Key Features of HDPE Pond Liners The significance of HDPE pond liners lies in their unique features. First and foremost, HDPE is highly resistant to punctures and tears. This quality is crucial when considering the harsh environments where these liners are often installed. Additionally, HDPE is UV stabilized, which means it can withstand prolonged exposure to sunlight without degrading. This property makes HDPE pond liners suitable for outdoor applications where other materials might fail. The Benefits of Using HDPE Pond Liners Using HDPE pond liners offers a multitude of benefits. One of the most notable advantages is their durability. HDPE liners can last for decades, reducing the need for replacements. Moreover, they are resistant to various chemicals and environmental factors, including extreme temperatures. This resilience translates to lower maintenance costs and a longer lifespan, making them a cost-effective solution for pond construction. Applications of HDPE Pond Liners HDPE pond liners are versatile and used in various applications. One of the primary uses is in agricultural settings. Farmers utilize these liners to create irrigation ponds, fish farms, and livestock watering systems. By preventing water loss, they ensure a reliable water supply for agricultural operations, ultimately enhancing productivity. Aquaculture and HDPE Pond Liners In aquaculture, HDPE pond liners play a vital role in creating controlled environments for fish farming. The liners help maintain water quality by preventing co

Turning Children into Data - 4 views

  • The teachers understood that learning doesn’t have to be measured in order to be assessed. 
  • It focused on teachers’ personal “connection[s] with our subject area” as the basis for helping students to think “like mathematicians or historians or writers or scientists, instead of drilling them in the vocabulary of those subject areas or breaking down the skills.”  In a word, the teachers put kids before data.
  • All that does is corrupt the measure (unless it’s a test score, in which case it’s already misleading), undermine collaboration among teachers, and make teaching less joyful and therefore less effective by meaningful criteria.
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • kids should have a lot to say about their assessment.
  • we want to create an environment where students can “experience success and failure not as reward and punishment but as information."  
  • students’ desire to learn?
  • The more that students are led to focus on how well they're doing, the less engaged they tend to become with what they're doing. 
  • A school that’s all about achievement and performance is a school that’s not really about discovery and understanding.
  • teachers’ isolation, fatalism, and fear (of demands by clueless officials to raise test scores at any cost).
  •  
    "While some education conferences are genuinely inspiring, others serve mostly to demonstrate how even intelligent educators can be remarkably credulous, nodding agreeably at descriptions of programs that ought to elicit fury or laughter, avidly copying down hollow phrases from a consultant's PowerPoint presentation, awed by anything that's borrowed from the business world or involves digital technology. Many companies and consultants thrive on this credulity, and also on teachers' isolation, fatalism, and fear (of demands by clueless officials to raise test scores at any cost). With a good dose of critical thinking and courage, a willingness to say "This is bad for kids and we won't have any part of it," we could drive these outfits out of business -- and begin to take back our schools."

Education Week: Battle for Whiteboard-Market Supremacy Heats Up - 0 views

  •  
    "The battle for supremacy in the K-12 whiteboard market is heating up. Companies are scrambling for new sources of revenue, making strategic moves to reinvent their products in the age of tablet computing, and sizing up their competitors to see what they can do to differentiate themselves from the pack. Who ultimately ends up on top has huge implications for educational technology leaders, who must determine which company is the best fit for their needs, and at a cost their districts can afford in still-difficult budget times. Complicating those decisions are changes in the technological landscape that are raising questions about the long-term educational relevance of interactive whiteboards. Do classrooms really need them in the age of iPads?"

Educational Technology Debate - 3 views

  •  
    Posted on June 2nd, 2010 Back at the turn of the century, education was gripped by the diffusion of amazing hand-held devices for children. These tools, at first considered an expensive and delicate novelty, soon became standard for every child in wealthy education systems and from there defused around the world to nearly every classroom. This is actually a description of slate tablets in the early 1800's, but it could aptly describe the technological revolution we are seeing in education today with low-cost ICT devices.

    "In the context of a growing emphasis on eLearning, most commonly facilitated by enterprise-scale Learning Management System and a range of institutionally managed and supported communication and collaboration software tools, and in an environment of increasing emphasis on intellectual property rights management and quality assurance, how do universities (and other educational institutions) respond to the use of free, open-access tools in common use by their students? What are the potential educational uses of such tools? What are the current practices of use of these tools within educational institutions? What are the issues, risks and hidden costs? What are the advantages and benefits?"
