Global Learning- What do you mean?Silvia Rosenthal Tolisano
油
1. The document discusses the concept of globally connected learning, which involves more than just learning about other cultures and holidays.
2. It emphasizes the interconnectedness of the modern world and the need for students and teachers to be globally connected through collaborative tools and personal learning networks.
3. The document presents several frameworks for conceptualizing degrees of connectedness, from lurkers to confidants, and provides examples of how teaching and learning can transform through practices like bringing in experts, student blogging challenges, and global partnerships.Urbanisation
UrbanisationNoel Jenkins
油
Urbanisation refers to the increasing proportion of people living in cities and urban areas. It began rapidly in poor countries in the mid-20th century as people migrated from rural areas to cities at a rate of 20% per year, driven by difficult rural living conditions and the concentration of jobs and services in urban centers. In rich countries, urbanisation accelerated during the Industrial Revolution as new factory and shipyard jobs drew people to towns and cities, while mechanized farming led to rural job losses. More recently, urbanisation has slowed in rich nations and some have experienced counter-urbanization, though cities are now attracting residents back to redeveloped inner areas.2013 Global Hunger Index Launch

This document discusses the key topics in motivation and emotion covered in Chapter 8, including several enduring issues and questions. It addresses whether motives and emotions are inborn or acquired, if they change over the lifespan, how individuals differ in their motivations and emotions, and how motives and emotions arise from and affect biological processes. Several theories of motivation are summarized, such as drive-reduction theory, arousal theory including the Yerkes-Dodson law, and Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Key motives like hunger, sex, aggression, achievement, and affiliation are explored. Theories of emotion like the James-Lange theory and Cannon-Bard theory are compared. Gender and cultural differences in emotion are also summarized.Cracking the Code: Enduring Issues in Social Studies

This document discusses how teachers can help students understand the world through a geographic lens. It recommends that teachers provide geographic information, teach geographic concepts, use data, maps and geospatial technology, and ask questions that encourage spatial thinking. Developing geographic literacy allows students to see how the global and local are interconnected and how place still matters despite distance and time. Asking the right questions about images, landscapes and locations can reveal cultural and environmental insights.AP Human Geography: Unit 1 - Introduction to Geography: Guided Notes

Urbanization and RaceSeth Dixon
油
Suburbanization in the United States greatly accelerated after World War II due to several factors: (1) the Federal Highway Act of 1956 funded the construction of an extensive interstate highway system, increasing accessibility to suburban areas; (2) large-scale developers mass-produced affordable single-family homes on cheap land in the suburbs; and (3) social trends like the postwar baby boom and preference for the suburban lifestyle drove demand for suburban housing. Transportation infrastructure and housing policies were the primary drivers of suburban growth in this period.Primate cities in india

India does not have a primate city. While Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, and Bengaluru are the largest cities, none meet the threshold of being at least twice as large as the second largest city. Historically, colonial cities like Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, and Delhi grew to be major economic centers, but India's large size, federal system of government, and regional diversity have prevented extreme primacy of one city over others. Regionalism and lack of centralized infrastructure and resources have also contributed to the absence of a single primate city dominating India's urban hierarchy.Geography and the Common Core

This document discusses the importance of geography education in an era of globalization. It argues that while globalization has made the world more interconnected, place still matters. It provides four recommendations for how competent geography teachers can help students understand our complex world: 1) by providing geographic information, 2) teaching geographic concepts, 3) using data, maps, and geospatial technology, and 4) asking questions that encourage spatial thinking in order to develop geographic literacy. The overarching message is that a spatial perspective is valuable for understanding global issues and students need diverse cultural understanding to interpret conflicts and changes around the world.Praxis Social Studies Exam: Geographic Content

Loch Lomond ReadvanceAlan Doherty
油
The last ice sheet to completely cover Scotland (the Devensian ice sheet) began to melt and its margins retreat about 20,000 years ago as summer sunlight in the northern hemisphere increased. Over the following 10,000 years, the average global temperature rose by 3.50C and most of the Devensian ice sheet melted in the Great Thaw. In Scotland, however, a seemingly contradictory readvance of the ice took place. Around 12,900 years ago, the temperatures in Scotland plummeted and remained low for about 1300 years. This glacial period, known as the Younger Dryas, is thought to have been caused by huge quantities of meltwater escaping into the North Atlantic and closing down the North Atlantic Ocean Conveyor.
The evidence for this readvance was first analysed and appreciated in the broad hummocky lowlands to the south of Loch Lomond and this became the type area for the readvance .Ice Age Scotland

Aalok is a member of APMs Thames Valley Regional Network and also speaks to members of APMs PMO Interest Network, which aims to facilitate collaboration and learning, offer unbiased advice and guidance.
Tonight, Aalok planned to discuss the importance of a PMO within project-based organisations, the different types of PMO and their key elements, PMO governance and centres of excellence.
PMOs within an organisation can be centralised, hub and spoke with a central PMO with satellite PMOs globally, or embedded within projects. The appropriate structure will be determined by the specific business needs of the organisation. The PMO sits above PM delivery and the supply chain delivery teams.

Editor's Notes
- #2: Ice margins are now receding all over the world. The Little Ice Age was a period from about 1550 to 1850 when the world experienced relatively cooler temperatures compared to the present. Subsequently, until about 1940, glaciers around the world retreated as the climate warmed substantially. Glacial retreat slowed and even reversed temporarily, in many cases, between 1950 and 1980 as a slight global cooling occurred. Since 1980, a significant global warming has led to glacier retreat becoming increasingly rapid and ubiquitous, so much so that some glaciers have disappeared altogether, and the existence of a great number of the remaining glaciers of the world is threatened. This recent period of glacial budget deficits is often referred to as the great retreat.
- #3: As you fly over Greenland or Antarctica it is difficult to recognize any ablation or wastage at all. But on the margins of these ice caps and, even more so, in Alpine glaciers, the evidence of excessive ice wastage is all too obvious.
- #4: Fluctuations in the mass of ice on our planet is the norm. It is the acceleration in this recent ice wastage which is causing scientists some concern. The retreat of glaciers since 1850 affects the availability of fresh water for irrigation and domestic use, mountain recreation, animals and plants that depend on glacier-melt, and in the longer term, the level of the oceans.
- #5: Only 20,000 years ago Scotland was covered by the Devensian ice sheet. This ice wasted back, probably completely, before ice again occupied the western Highlands and reached into the lowlands in what was called the Loch Lomond Readvance which reached its maximum extent around 10,800 years ago.
- #6: The ice margins retreated to the mountains of Europe, Iceland and Greenland.
- #7: Arctic sea ice was at a new record low on September 16, 2012 at 3.41 million square kilometers (1.32 million square miles). The new record low was thus 760,000 square kilometers (293,000 square miles) below the previous record minimum extent, which occurred on September 18, 2007. The 2012 value is only half (51%) of the 19792000 average extent of arctic sea ice at the September minimum. The six lowest seasonal minimum ice extents in the satellite record have all occurred between 2007 and 2012.
