This document discusses the rise of neo-fascist regimes globally after 2001 that expanded control over resources while diminishing wages and purchasing power. It exacerbated an already ambiguous situation by covering up malfeasance through violence and security checks. The cost of living increased while social problems expanded. Several sustainable development projects from 2006-2013 are briefly outlined, with varying levels of success. Tyrannical controllers and their belief systems are explored, as well as the "goons" who do their dirty work. Life inside the "monsters' mansion" of hypocrisy and amorality is examined.

The Hospice Savannah Art Gallery displays soothing artwork to help palliative care patients and their families. The gallery sources contemporary pieces every two months that depict calm subjects like seascapes. A current exhibit features 25 watercolors by local artist Maureen Kerstein, who donates proceeds to Hospice Savannah.

Families often connect with pieces they see while visiting loved ones at Hospice House.
Kauai is known as the "Garden Isle" due to its vast tropical plant life. Three of the five US national botanical gardens are located on the island, featuring indigenous and ancient vegetation. These include Limahuli Garden & Preserve, Allerton Garden, and McBryde Garden. Limahuli Garden features over 1,000 acres of gardens in the Limahuli Valley, while Allerton Garden has over 100 acres of oceanfront gardens. McBryde Garden focuses on endangered Hawaiian species and has research collections. Other notable gardens on Kauai are Smith's Tropical Paradise, Kukuiolono Park, and Na 'Aina Kai Botanical Gardens.
A Norwegian study aimed to increase students' scientific literacy and interest in science by having them participate in science projects. The study involved over 800 students who took part in science-focused projects from 2008 to 2010. Results showed that the students had an overall positive appreciation of the projects and that hands-on practical work in science lessons improved students' attitudes towards science. Participating in authentic learning experiences outside the classroom, like visiting research institutions, further motivated students to pursue scientific subjects in university.
Elisabeth Engum is the head of pedagogy at International Sales.

This document discusses flipped learning, an educational technique where traditional lecture and homework are reversed so that students gain initial exposure to new material through videos or readings at home, then use class time to do homework and engage in problem-solving activities with teacher guidance. It outlines four myths about flipped learning and describes how it provides a self-directed learning environment where the teacher acts as a guide and coach rather than a "sage on the stage", focusing on developing a learning culture. The core pillars of flipped learning are described as a flexible environment, learning culture, intentional content, and professional educators.
This document discusses flipped classrooms and flexible learning environments. It contains links to images and resources about traditional classrooms, taking responsibility for one's own learning, and professional teachers. The flipped classroom approach requires a change in mindset and approach to running a classroom.
This document discusses flipped learning, which involves moving lectures outside of the classroom through videos and moving homework and exercises into the classroom. It outlines the traditional classroom approach with direct instruction and lectures at home followed by homework, and contrasts this with flipped learning where instruction is accessed at home and homework and exercises are completed in the classroom with teacher guidance. Several myths about flipped learning are addressed. It emphasizes that flipped learning provides a self-directed learning environment and changes the teacher's role from sage to guide. The key aspects that enable flipped learning are identified as a flexible environment, learning culture, intentional content, and professional educators.

The document discusses calculating the total number of handshakes between 10 people greeting each other. It shows that the number of handshakes is equal to the sum of the first 10 natural numbers, which can be calculated as 10 * (10/2) or the ninth triangular number, which is 45.
This document appears to be a presentation about flipped learning/flipped classrooms. It includes slides with hashtags, references to online videos and resources, and quotes from other educators discussing flipped learning. The presentation discusses various aspects of the flipped classroom model and paradigm shifts in teaching and learning that can come with flipping the classroom.
