Plate shooting is a sport played in complete darkness where participants use flashlights to shoot at targets as accurately and quickly as possible while using their light for the minimum amount of time. Players must decide whether to turn on their light for each shot or try to memorize the scene without light. Variations include shooting at known or unknown target configurations, adding moving obstacles, restricting shooting time, and multiplayer versions where participants work together or compete against each other, replacing guns with laser tag for safety.MS Education Planning Camp 2010.Ppt

This document summarizes a presentation about integrating online learning resources (LOs) into courses. It discusses selecting LOs to address difficult concepts, creating assignments linked to LOs, and having students find and review LOs to address their own "muddiest points". Having students help curate a collection makes it more robust and addresses previously overlooked concepts. The presenters encourage creating video wrappers for LOs to provide context and using free tools like Jing to easily create screencast tutorials. Integrating student-found LOs and creating open resources helps level academic skills across disciplines.Introduction to TAACCCT Repository Services

This document discusses balanced and unbalanced forces. It defines balanced forces as two forces of equal size acting in opposite directions, causing an object to stay still. Unbalanced forces are forces that are not equal, causing an object to move in the direction of the larger force. The document provides examples of different sized forces and instructs students on describing effects of forces and explaining the terms "balanced" and "unbalanced forces." It includes homework of creating a poster explaining forces.Gencat 2 0 EN

The document outlines guiding principles for grading in a physics class:
1. A student's grade should be based solely on their understanding of physics concepts, not other factors.
2. Homework is for practice and should not affect grades.
3. Students can learn concepts at any time as long as they eventually learn them.
4. Assessments should provide guidance on how to improve understanding and incentive to do the necessary work to improve.Big Call - June 2012

Consumer confidence in the economy declined slightly in June 2012 compared to April, with optimism still relatively higher than in June 2011 and 2010. One in four adults expect more layoffs over the next six months, up from one in five the previous month. Despite a declining national unemployment rate, pessimism remains regarding future employment opportunities, with few expecting fewer layoffs and most anticipating the employment situation will remain the same.BIG Call - March 2012

This document discusses a consumer survey on fast food trends. It finds that while the percentage of adults eating fast food four or more times a month is decreasing from 2005 levels, fast food remains popular due to low prices and convenience. McDonald's continues to be the most frequented chain but changing consumption patterns may challenge fast food companies. Reasons for patronage focus more on price and speed than food quality or healthfulness.Ticket or no ticket

Most of the students responding believe that many of their peers at their school have a fixed mindset. They feel pressure to perform well and avoid failure. Some examples provided include students not taking notes because they feel entitled to get good grades without effort, focusing only on grades rather than feedback, and being afraid to try new things that may result in failure. However, some responses also acknowledge friends who worked to improve in areas they struggled with, showing a growth mindset.Day 4 warmup pd 3 4
