"content": "\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">One of my major goals in our science classroom is to connect our work to the daily lives and priorities of students – making what we do in class personally relevant and engaging. I also strive to broaden students’ ideas about who scientists are in ways that emphasize the diversity of purpose, talent, and backgrounds they possess, and to connect the work of science to social progress and human empathy. After spending time together investigating different types of scientific research projects and scientific and engineering design principles, we used KQED’s E-book series, \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Engineering Is…\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> (\u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/education/e-books/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">http://ww2.kqed.org/education/e-books/\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">) as a way to connect our technical, content driven work back to the needs of real people and present day communities.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>Soundscape Resources\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Bay Area Sound Ecology samples – \u003ca href=\"http://www.basoundecology.org/\">http://www.basoundecology.org/\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Symphonic Expressions of Art – \u003ca href=\"http://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/soundscapes/\">http://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/soundscapes/\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Listening to Wild Soundscapes [NPR] – \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2011/04/22/135634388/listening-to-wild-soundscapes\">http://www.npr.org/2011/04/22/135634388/listening-to-wild-soundscapes\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The World Soundscape Project – \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfu.ca/~truax/wsp.html\">http://www.sfu.ca/~truax/wsp.html\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Freesound – \u003ca href=\"http://www.freesound.org/\">http://www.freesound.org/\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The goal for this three day mini-project was for students to spend two days exploring one of the four E-book resources about the following topics: \u003ca href=\"http://kqed.woop.ie/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">creating an efficient cook stove\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://foldscope.woop.ie/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">designing an origami microscope\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://decompression.woop.ie/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">specialized research techniques in the deep ocean\u003c/a>, and an \u003ca href=\"http://water.woop.ie/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">affordable clean water filter\u003c/a>. For the final session, student groups would then use some sort of performance to share their story with the class. My only rules were to engage the audience with the content, and to stretch themselves beyond traditional slide presentations and book report type summaries.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Recently, I had been introduced to the idea of soundscapes as a way for students to tell stories in their learning environments. After creating my own and exploring resources online, I decided to include the idea of using soundscapes to present a story as an option for our mini-project. I enthusiastically introduced the idea of using a soundscape as a creative presentation possibility and gave a short description of my work with them and how much I had enjoyed researching the ways people use sound to tell stories. I announced that I was happy to show some examples and talk more about my experiences if anyone was interested. One by one during the brainstorming and research sessions, groups came up to ask me more about soundscapes. I showed them the storyboard I had created for my group soundscape and described the sounds we used for each phase of the story I had drawn. Although the story I used as an example was a very simple one, the students were really interested in the idea of incorporating sounds into their stories. They immediately began asking if they could experiment with sounds made from objects in the room or to go outside to record sounds of their own to see how they might fit with their presentation ideas.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">On the day of presentations, I had no idea what to expect and sat down to enjoy the show. Each group had five minutes to present, with two groups presenting each of the four E-book stories. My thinking was that by hearing each story twice, students would be able to discuss the science and engineering practices in more depth and that each presentation would have unique strengths that could engage the audience and specifically for my students working on their language skills, broaden their understanding.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The first presentation happened to be a soundscape. After we all closed our eyes, the student group led us through a narrated script with sounds coming from all around us, setting the scene where a child in an outdoor environment would need to go to the doctor and how differently that would look here in the U.S. in comparison to other locations eventually leading to the need for and invention of the origami microscope. As the performance ended, the audience members began clapping even before we could all open our eyes! What was even better was the second group to share out the same story used a skit format that allowed us to revisit the material from a different angle. Almost every group throughout the day used sound in some way during their presentation. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The soundscapes, with their singular focus on one sense, with the added appeal of novelty and mystery, were by far the most powerful and popular approaches. Some soundscape groups recorded sounds and played them for us, asking us to then construct a chronological list of the sounds and work together to predict the storyline before sharing out the information in the role of science researchers. Others combined a sound story with a follow up skit or class discussion. Students created duct tape versions of the cook stove, role played as researchers describing their water pump invention as a scientific conference, performed a puppet show, created skits set on land and in the ocean, and created vibrantly colored storyboards of their soundscapes.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The following class session, we spent time checking in about what made this mode of communication so special to them and how we could utilize soundscape strategies in other ways at school. We also compiled a list of the skills we felt engineers needed and compared it to the list of skills we created that described their effective group collaborations. Not surprisingly, there were many overlapping ideas. From there, we were able to dig deeper into the role of engineering design in solving world problems and the many types of engineering and product design positions that are available for students to explore and expand as an interest and potentially, a career.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">By getting my students to consider presentations as a creative endeavor, I’m helping to broaden their ideas about what it means to communicate, envision, and collaborate – all skills that are essential in scientific research and engineering design. Additionally, the process encourages and requires diverse talents, skills, interests, and points of view which further supports all of my students. I’m looking forward to hearing from you about the ways you have used the KQED E-book resources and other strategies your students have used to share their understanding in creative ways!\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\n",

From an initial 3.5 million cases to only 126 in 2014, the Carter Center has nearly succeeded in making guinea worm the second disease in human history, after smallpox, to be eradicated. However, Carter has been the only one pushing for the eradication of this disease. Organizations such as\u003ca href=\"http://www.unicef.org/\"> UNICEF\u003c/a> and the World Health Organization\u003ca href=\"http://www.who.int/en/\"> (WHO)\u003c/a> have aided in approving measures, but have not monetarily contributed to the program. For decades, philanthropic health intervention has supported governments in areas struggling to cope with diseased populations. Global health initiatives have largely become reliant on a handful of well-wishers like Jimmy Carter because of how difficult it is for governments and international organizations alike to raise funds for humanitarian ventures. The weighing of economic burdens against health burdens has raised an important question: who should be fiscally responsible for maintaining the health of humanity?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With campaigns such as the Carter Center’s guinea worm eradication plan and the\u003ca href=\"http://www.gatesfoundation.org/\"> Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation’s\u003c/a> tuberculosis incidence reduction program, efforts made by philanthropic organizations are playing a major role in solving the world’s health issues. By focusing on and devoting large sums of money to specific projects, these organizations have been effective in many respects.

From an initial 3.5 million cases to only 126 in 2014, the Carter Center has nearly succeeded in making guinea worm the second disease in human history, after smallpox, to be eradicated. However, Carter has been the only one pushing for the eradication of this disease. Organizations such as\u003ca href=\"http://www.unicef.org/\"> UNICEF\u003c/a> and the World Health Organization\u003ca href=\"http://www.who.int/en/\"> (WHO)\u003c/a> have aided in approving measures, but have not monetarily contributed to the program. For decades, philanthropic health intervention has supported governments in areas struggling to cope with diseased populations. Global health initiatives have largely become reliant on a handful of well-wishers like Jimmy Carter because of how difficult it is for governments and international organizations alike to raise funds for humanitarian ventures. The weighing of economic burdens against health burdens has raised an important question: who should be fiscally responsible for maintaining the health of humanity?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With campaigns such as the Carter Center’s guinea worm eradication plan and the\u003ca href=\"http://www.gatesfoundation.org/\"> Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation’s\u003c/a> tuberculosis incidence reduction program, efforts made by philanthropic organizations are playing a major role in solving the world’s health issues.

And the amount of data being produced is growing exponentially. Because of this, more and more companies — including those in the field of health care — are in need of servers. Instead of every company owning and maintaining physical servers, cloud computing has become a popular alternative. Cloud computing refers to an on-demand, self-service Internet infrastructure that enables users to access computing resources anytime from anywhere. So instead of buying servers to store data, online servers are rented from various providers.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/education/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2015/11/anatomy-high-tech.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-39823\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/education/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2015/11/anatomy-high-tech-400x224.jpg\" alt=\"anatomy-high-tech\" width=\"400\" height=\"224\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2015/11/anatomy-high-tech-400x224.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2015/11/anatomy-high-tech.jpg 615w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Health care, as with any other service operation, requires continuous and systematic innovation in order to remain cost effective, efficient and timely, and to provide high-quality services.

And the amount of data being produced is growing exponentially. Because of this, more and more companies — including those in the field of health care — are in need of servers. Instead of every company owning and maintaining physical servers, cloud computing has become a popular alternative. Cloud computing refers to an on-demand, self-service Internet infrastructure that enables users to access computing resources anytime from anywhere. So instead of buying servers to store data, online servers are rented from various providers.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Many people are concerned that these chemicals can pose long term health risks such as cancer. Turf is composed of “crumb rubber,” a substance made from chopping old recycled tires into thousands of tiny pieces. The crumb rubber used in turf is suspected to carry carcinogens such as lead and mercury. It is scary to think that the turf that people are playing on can potentially cause cancer.

"content": "\u003cp>A year from now most of the high school students I currently teach will be eligible to vote, and I believe that one of my roles is to help them become part of an informed electorate. However these days it seems like politics and propaganda take precedence over rational discussion, especially when the conversation goes online.

"headTitle": "10 Tips for Engaging Students in Social Media Discussions | KQED",
"content": "\u003cp>Social media can be a powerful teaching tool for fostering civic engagement, argumentation skills, and digital literacy — but it requires active teacher involvement to really work. \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/donow\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">KQED’s Do Now\u003c/a> discussions—weekly social media-driven activities for students– have become a pivotal part of my practice. I have seen my students gain skills in making claims, defending them, questioning other ideas, and discussing topics of tension with respect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It has taken years to understand what works best in my context, and I continue to tweak how this valuable tool fits into my teaching. Here are some important lessons I have learned along the way. Try them out. Make any changes for your own students, and please share your own helpful tips! (These relate specifically to Do Now, but can be applied to any student activity you are conducting on social media).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>10. Don’t waste precious time and attention on negative or obscene posts. \u003c/strong>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">You can flag them or send them on to the KQED folks, but stay grounded in the positive experience that is Do Now. When the authors recognize such posts are disregarded, this tends to limit these minimal contributions. Plus, it reinforces norms of having productive, inclusive civic discourse.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>9. Don’t try to reply to EVERY student post. \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Choosing perhaps the top 10 every week will not only alleviate the pressure on you but also give learners something else to strive for every week. Plus, it boosts the quality of your interaction to your students.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>8. Respond to learners in the media of their post.\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> This helps keep you vigilant of how to use new media tools and lets you have a perspective on possible struggles learners may experience with the particular app or tool. Additionally, learners respect your effort on remaining a media producer like them.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>7. Keep track of stellar student responses\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">. Got some particularly strong work you’d like to share? Save links or screenshots to save with the folks at KQED! Who knows? Maybe, they’ll be showcased on the RoundUp!\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>6. Celebrate student successes. \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">If your learner is mentioned by KQED in their \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/education/category/community-created-content/do-now-round-ups/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">“Roundups” series,\u003c/a> make a big deal of it. Did you know that each Do Now topic gets about 300-600 student responses? Considering this, to be recognized in a Round Up is quite the accomplishment. Treat it as such.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>5. Time is of the essence.\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> It’s called Do Now for a reason. Engagement with our learners needs to happen within 24 hours of their posting on the discussion board or other social media. Since there are definite observed opening and closing times of the discussions, there’s a focus on deadlines. Our kids are part of the On Demand generation, and when we delay our recognition of their significant contributions, they are less likely to truly engage in the discourse in the future.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>4. Be a cheerleader for your kids!\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> For many, this is the first time they will begin to build and consider what their digital footprint should look like. They may be quite tentative when addressing potentially polarizing issues. They may be sorting through what the events mean to them. They may resist expressing another viewpoint due to seeming too harsh or too critical. How we respond to them, how we approach the topic, how we treat the activity will very much influence their interactions with others and their engagement in the discussion.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>3. Be flexible in your approach.\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> There can be as much or as little to Do Now as you make of it. Some weeks, we ask learners to do a lengthy multi-paragraphed post on the discussion board, Tweets, replies, and media production. Other weeks, it could be quite a bit less. We could be focusing on media or counter argumentation or thesis statements. That’s ok. Making Do Now work dynamic keeps the activities fresh.

I have seen my students gain skills in making claims, defending them, questioning other ideas, and discussing topics of tension with respect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It has taken years to understand what works best in my context, and I continue to tweak how this valuable tool fits into my teaching. Here are some important lessons I have learned along the way. Try them out. Make any changes for your own students, and please share your own helpful tips! (These relate specifically to Do Now, but can be applied to any student activity you are conducting on social media).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>10. Don’t waste precious time and attention on negative or obscene posts. \u003c/strong>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">You can flag them or send them on to the KQED folks, but stay grounded in the positive experience that is Do Now. When the authors recognize such posts are disregarded, this tends to limit these minimal contributions. Plus, it reinforces norms of having productive, inclusive civic discourse.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>9. Don’t try to reply to EVERY student post. \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Choosing perhaps the top 10 every week will not only alleviate the pressure on you but also give learners something else to strive for every week. Plus, it boosts the quality of your interaction to your students.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>8. Respond to learners in the media of their post.\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> This helps keep you vigilant of how to use new media tools and lets you have a perspective on possible struggles learners may experience with the particular app or tool. Additionally, learners respect your effort on remaining a media producer like them.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Got some particularly strong work you’d like to share? Save links or screenshots to save with the folks at KQED! Who knows? Maybe, they’ll be showcased on the RoundUp!\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>6. Celebrate student successes. \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">If your learner is mentioned by KQED in their \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/education/category/community-created-content/do-now-round-ups/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">“Roundups” series,\u003c/a> make a big deal of it. Did you know that each Do Now topic gets about 300-600 student responses? Considering this, to be recognized in a Round Up is quite the accomplishment. Treat it as such.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>5. Time is of the essence.\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> It’s called Do Now for a reason. Engagement with our learners needs to happen within 24 hours of their posting on the discussion board or other social media. Since there are definite observed opening and closing times of the discussions, there’s a focus on deadlines. Our kids are part of the On Demand generation, and when we delay our recognition of their significant contributions, they are less likely to truly engage in the discourse in the future.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>4. Be a cheerleader for your kids!\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> For many, this is the first time they will begin to build and consider what their digital footprint should look like. They may be quite tentative when addressing potentially polarizing issues. They may be sorting through what the events mean to them. They may resist expressing another viewpoint due to seeming too harsh or too critical. How we respond to them, how we approach the topic, how we treat the activity will very much influence their interactions with others and their engagement in the discussion.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>3. Be flexible in your approach.\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> There can be as much or as little to Do Now as you make of it. Some weeks, we ask learners to do a lengthy multi-paragraphed post on the discussion board, Tweets, replies, and media production. Other weeks, it could be quite a bit less. We could be focusing on media or counter argumentation or thesis statements. That’s ok. Making Do Now work dynamic keeps the activities fresh. Just make sure to create checklists and rubrics to guide your learners’ work. It not only reminds learners of expectations but also keeps the work tied to academics and standards.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>2. Don’t forget to use the right hashtags. \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">What a pity it would be if a quality response isn’t recognized or responded to just because of a missing hashtag.
