"We can all get a little puzzled with time. Sometimes we have no idea where it goes, whereas there are other times when it goes by so fast. Yet one this is for sure…it is going at the same pace, no matter what, and the relationship between time and the cosmos is complex.
Understanding the relationship, Cosmic Watch is a unique iPad app that provides an advanced, 3D astronomical time device for the digital age."
"No matter how you are reading this story, you can thank science. Whether it is the transmission of data over the internet or just the pixels on the screen, a combination of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) is delivering it. The problem is that in Australia, the number of students taking science and mathematics subjects is dwindling - and has been for decades."
"The importance of offering a broad curriculum within the school system cannot be over-stated, allowing students to explore a range of topics that spark their interest, and potentially inspire them to follow a career path that can have a positive impact on their lives, society and the environment.
STEM activities (built around Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) offer a broad range of opportunities, opening up the potential of enquiry based learning that is relevant to the world we live in. Many education systems globally place a great emphasis on a STEM curriculum for all students, no matter of age, race, gender or ability, but what STEM based activities work best in your setting, helping students see the world differently, and potentially inspiring to enter STEM careers of the future?"

the earth is alive and we are all interconnected, to nature and to each other. When we live from this new/old story, the world looks very different—and we can no longer accept business as usual.
in order to change this business as usual, we’ve got to change the story we have about who we are and how the world works. We act as though the earth were a dead ball of matter spinning through the cosmos and running like a machine and as though human beings were truly autonomous actors independent not only of the environment but of each other.
property rights are attenuated by the concept of stewardship, which requires property owners to maintain the ecological integrity of their land for the benefit of all.

bullying in public life has become all too common.
