Happy National Lifelong Learning Week! |
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 23 Jan '15

23 Jan '15

Interesting article showing how to inculcate reading habit in school kids. Author says just make small children see adults and others walk with books or read them in their vicinity. ========== Happy National Lifelong Learning Week! Posted on January 22, 2015 by Mark Condon in Avid Readers, Community Involvement, Unite for Literacy Actually, it’s National Book WEEK…er MONTH…Wait,…What? Well, actually, this week it’s both of those! Today is the third week of National Book MONTH. That makes it National Book WEEK. We recognize Books like this because they add value to to lives of every child and adult. It’s as simple as that and well worth a celebration. The benefits book reading provides to school-age children are well-documented in decades of research. Book reading enhances vocabulary in ways no other activity can. It gives children an understanding about places, people, topics and ideas that serves them well throughout their lives. Reading quality books enhances writing ability, too. While educators, librarians, parents and others who care about the well-being of kids want them to read well, too often this inexhaustible resource for personal growth and skill building often fades into the undulating light of video games, TV and movies. Why might that be? The problem here is that we all (virtually ALL) have been wholly focused on getting our kids to read well for school. We’re so narrowly focused on that achievement that we forget that after kids finish school, the time left to read for the sheer enjoyment is, on average, about 60 years. That’s 60 years of enjoyment, learning, reflection, growth, connection and fulfillment. Yes. THAT’s why we should want kids to learn to read books well! It’s to ensure that learning doesn’t end when youngsters are handed a diploma or certificate. I haven’t heard many people talk about this, nor emphasize it. Perhaps this lack of dialogue and focus is why fewer and fewer kids engage with self-selected books once they are beyond formal schooling. Perhaps we neglected to tell them that reading isn’t just another school subject, but a valuable, ENJOYABLE skill… a gift for life. Consider the damage that is being done TO reading achievement by us ONLY focusing ON reading achievement. No, really. Consider it. Why do so many people HATE math? Math is a universal language that captures and embodies a way to think and communicate about numerical patterns of life and relationships that create clarity and order. Math provides an elegantly logical way of exploring life. Do you recall ever being involved in a lesson that focused upon that power and joy that mathematics offers us? I sure wasn’t. I think we’re doing the same thing to reading and to the language we use to share our lives with each other by utterly ignoring the importance of ensuring that our culture is focused upon raising not just academic readers, but avid readers. Children need to SEE everyone carrying books around and reading them. Kids need to interact with older readers about what they are reading and why they are reading it. Business people, professionals and public servants could get involved to help children come to know how adult readers select and reject books based upon their personal whims for extending their learning and their personal interests in exploring life. If we actually did that, National Book Week would be called National Learning Week and everyone would take the day off and march down the streets holding their favorite books high in the air in joyful celebration of lifelong learning. Lifelong learning. Now, that’s something worth celebrating! http://about.uniteforliteracy.com/2015/01/happy-national-lifelong-learning-… -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Find In-Depth Articles on Google with a URL Trick

Find In-Depth Articles on Google with a URL Trick 165,78618 Whitson Gordon If your Google search just isn't returning the quality content you want, this little URL trick might find more in-depth articles on the subject you're searching for. Alex Chitu at Google Operating System recently discovered that Google has a section for "in-depth articles", from which it features longer posts from sites like the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Wired, The Economist, and more. It only seems to work in the US, and it only pops up sometimes—but you can manually bring it up by adding this to the end of your search URL: &tbs=ida:1&gl=us It doesn't work all the time, and it's certainly a bit limiting, but it's worth a shot if Google just isn't giving you the kind of results you want.

Calling for Papers: Open Knowledge in Agricultural Development (OKAD)
by Imma Subirats 20 Jan '15

20 Jan '15

Progress in science and technology can only be achieved by building upon a community knowledge base. This is as true for agricultural development as for anything else. However, current technical, financial, legal and cultural barriers can make it difficult to access and use existing agricultural knowledge. Open Knowledge initiatives that promote free, unrestricted access to research, data, software and learning materials promise to further accelerate agricultural development, reduce hunger and poverty, and improve food security in less economically developed countries. The Open Knowledge in Agricultural Development (OKAD) article collection will be a platform for authors to share their original research findings, initiatives, case studies, perspectives and opinions relating to Open Knowledge initiatives within all areas in the context of agriculture, agri-food and agro-biodiversity. We encourage the submission of articles on topics including, but not limited to: * E-infrastructure for agricultural development * Publishing and communicating scientific knowledge * Open access, open data and open educational resources * Dissemination, metrics and impact assessment * Development of open source software, applications and platforms * Policy and socio-economic issues * Non-digital Open Knowledge initiatives More information at http://f1000research.com/article-collections/okad -- Open up your knowledge and contribute to OKAD -- Dates: The OKAD collection will be launched on February 23rd 2015 and will be open to contributions indefinitely. Authors who wish to have their articles published as part of the launch should submit their article by February 2nd 2015. Discounts & waivers: All articles submitted before the launch date will be free to publish. Articles submitted after this date will receive a 20% discount off the standard article processing charge. F1000Research welcomes a wide range of studies, including small research notes, null results, replications, refutations, traditional research articles, reviews, opinion pieces, method articles, and software tools (see our author guidelines for details about each article type). In line with F1000Research's publication model, all articles submitted to this collection will be transparently reviewed by invited experts after publication; articles that pass peer review will become highly visible through indexing in major bibliographic databases. If you have any questions, please email research(a)f1000.com. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
