Gimpshop | The Photoshop Free Alternative
Gimpshop | The Photoshop Free Alternative
There's no question that Adobe Photoshop is excellent image editing software. But for those of us that can't afford up to seven hundred dollars or more to buy it, we now have the same image manipulation power at our fingertips as the high-priced, closed-source programs. In fact, with the release of 2.8, Gimpshop has become preferred software for photo & image editing among more professionals than ever. Layers, channels, masks, filters, levels, advanced pattern matching—the remarkable feature list of Gimp is equal to Photoshop in every way except one: the price. Restore, touch up and manipulate photos, create complex animations, or just use Gimpshop as a simple paint program. The only limit is your imagination.

Pandemic Planning for Distance Learning: Scenarios and Considerations for PreK–12 Education Leaders
Pandemic Planning for Distance Learning: Scenarios and Considerations for PreK–12 Education Leaders
Distance learning, as with other modalities and models, offers advantages and limitations. However, the advantages are not achieved by merely replacing face-to-face content with online content. Instead, we need to map the complexity of the learning delivery models and balance the exchange of educational theory with pragmatic decisions including costs, technical support, accessibility, functionality, and quality assurance standards. We should use self-reflection, inquiry, and analysis to share our experiences, findings, and best practices in order to adopt solutions, strategies, and processes within our own professional communities. Now, with a few months to prepare for the 2020–21 academic school year, we can use lessons from the field of distance education to make decisions from a systems perspective.

The use of narrative to provide a cohesive structure for a web based computing course - Open Research Online
The use of narrative to provide a cohesive structure for a web based computing course - Open Research Online
Narrative has long been used as an educational tool. This article explains how narrative, in the form of popular accounts, has been used to provide context, structure and broad appeal to a large-scale, entry-level university course on Information and Communication Technology (ICT). This course is delivered via the web with online tuition. Students' responses to the use of narrative and the scope of the material has been encouraging. It is argued that narrative performs an enculturation function that is often under-utilised in ICT education.

Remote Reflections: A Call for Memes | Perspectives on History | AHA
The call for memes was a fun way to connect our students and lighten the mood momentarily while respecting the unique nature of the times we find ourselves in. As major Lacey Pogue tweeted, memes represent “the feeling of being seen but not known.” Especially for history students, who are well-versed in global events and patterns, meme culture is just one more way they are conversant in the shared human experience. We couldn’t be together, but the community we created online is surviving (and even laughing a little) amidst a pandemic.

Science in the Classroom - Annotated research papers and accompanying teaching materials
Annotated research papers and accompanying teaching materials. STEM education is changing. Education standards and frameworks are moving away from memorizing scientific content and toward engaging students with the nature & practices of science. Primary literature can be powerful tool for teaching with emphasis on real science. Science in the Classroom (SitC) is a collection of freely available annotated research papers from the Science family of journals. SitC aims to help educators, undergraduates, and advanced high school students understand the research contained in scientific primary literature by using annotations and providing accompanying teaching materials. Annotations include vocabulary, methods, descriptions of prior research, and explanations of major conclusions. Each paper has an educator's guide outlining connections to science competencies within STEM learning frameworks and standards. Educator guides also provide suggested activities, discussion questions, and resources for further exploration of the subject.

Unleash the Science of Learning – Retrieval Practice
Unleash the Science of Learning – Retrieval Practice
When we think about learning, we typically focus on getting information into students’ heads. What if, instead, we focus on getting information out of students’ heads? Retrieval practice is a learning strategy where we focus on getting information out. It’s even more powerful when combined with additional research-based strategies including spacing, interleaving, and feedback-driven metacognition. Established by nearly 100 years of cognitive science research, our free Practice Guides, our weekly teaching tips, and our book Powerful Teaching empower you to transform teaching – and most importantly – learning.

The 7 elements of a good online course
The 7 elements of a good online course
With very few exceptions, online teaching and learning will be the primary mode of education for the majority of higher education students in many jurisdictions this fall as concerns about COVID-19 extend into the new school year. As an education researcher who has been studying online education and a professor who has been teaching in both face-to-face and online environments for more than a decade, I am often asked whether online learning at universities and colleges can ever be as effective as face-to-face learning. To be clear: this isn’t a new question or a new debate. I’ve been asked this question in various forms since the mid-2000s and researchers have been exploring this topic since at least the 1950s. The answer isn’t as unequivocal as some would like it to be. Individual cherry-picked studies can support any result. But systematic analyses of the evidence generally show there are no significant differences in students’ academic outcomes between online and face-to-face education.

Centuries of Sound
Centuries of Sound
An audio mix for every year of recorded sound, 1859 to the present. Centuries of Sound is an attempt to produce an audio mix for every year of recorded sound. Starting with 1860, a mix is posted every month until we catch up with the present day. The scope is moreorless everything, music of course, but also speech and other sounds, the only limit being that music and sounds used must be from that year. Mixes start under three minutes, and will get longer until they are two hours long (guessing this will be sometime in the 1930s). Rough “preview” mixes of contemporary years are also posted at the end of each year – 2016 is already up.

Seven recommendations for helping students thrive in times of trauma
Seven recommendations for helping students thrive in times of trauma
As educators, we need to consider the questions: What does this pandemic reality mean for students’ ability to learn? How can we teach to the lonely, the anxious and the fearful? When the brain is under traumatic stress, it goes into survival mode by prioritizing what matters -- conserving energy to stay alive. The work of Bessel Van der Kolk, Antonio Damasio and others helps us understand that when we experience trauma, whether consciously or subconsciously, the limbic system (emotions) hijacks the cerebral cortex (reason). Learning, which requires the expenditure of energy, becomes physiologically less of a priority to our brain -- making it difficult to learn about, for example, linear regressions or the cell cycle. In this midst of a pandemic, is it feasible to expect that our students can learn? They can continue to learn -- brilliantly so -- but only if we change the ways we understand learning and radically reconceive how we teach. As educators, we must have at least some rudimentary understanding of how to recognize and mitigate stress, anxiety and trauma. More specifically, moving forward, we must adopt a trauma-informed approach to teaching and students' learning.

Illustrating Equality VS Equity : Interaction Institute for Social Change
IISC has long believed that this image, illustrating the difference between equality and equity, is worth a thousand words. As a gift to the world of equity practitioners, IISC engaged artist Angus Maguire to draw a new version of an old favorite (since we could only find pixelated versions of the original). Please feel free to download the high-resolution image and use in your presentations.

Open Pedagogy and the Trades – BCcampus
Open Pedagogy and the Trades – BCcampus
As a trades instructor, it never made sense to me that we were training future tradespeople in how to construct, troubleshoot, maintain, and collaborate by putting them in classes, where they would stare at the backs of each other’s heads and work in isolation (one may argue that this holds true for all disciplines). After a few years of teaching, I started gravitating towards including my students as co-conspirators in their own learning. I started to see more engagement, more interaction, and, dare I say, the students seemed to be having more fun. I stopped dipping my toe into the shallow end of the open pedagogy pool and decided to jump in cannonball style. Two years ago, I adopted a fully co-creative model with my students. I no longer had them read from textbooks or outside resources: I started having them create their own. This is an ever-evolving model.

Mozilla Foundation - Can You Tell When You’re Chatting with a Bot?
You never quite know who you’re chatting with online. And as AI grows more sophisticated, you never quite know what you’re chatting with, either. Chatbots are now a staple of online life. They handle our customer service queries, help schedule our doctor appointments, and live inside popular apps like Facebook Messenger and Slack. In this new environment, are you confident you can tell a human from a bot? This is the central idea behind Bot Or Not, an app exploring AI that mimics real humans. Play at https://www.botor.no/. In Bot Or Not, users chat in real time with another player over a simple web interface. Over the course of three minutes, users must ask and answer questions from their partner, and also participate in an open chat. At the conclusion of the game, each player guesses if they were chatting with a fellow human or an AI.

Smart home assistants have a staggering environmental cost | CBC Docs POV - YouTube
There are already 66 million smart assistants in US homes and the number is growing daily. But what are we trading for the convenience of turning the lights on with our voice? #CBCdocsPOV #TheInternetofEverything • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Director Brett Gaylor looks for an answer with his daughter Layla as they learn about the processing power involved in the machine learning powering Alexa and the enormous amount of energy it takes. Between the massive amount of non-renewable energy required to power their web servers and the pollution generated by its delivery service, Amazon’s carbon footprint continues to grow. In 2019, staff protests prompted shareholders to confront management, to demand a plan for climate change and a reduction of the company’s dependence on fossil fuels. _ The Internet of Everything, from CBC Docs POV is a fast, funny and enlightening look at what happens when we opt for the convenience of connected “smart” objects, without fully understanding the consequences for our health, our communities, or the planet.
