Not only was my work well-received, but I found community and support among like-minded folks. From then on, Ī always looked to the Midwest History of Education Society (now OEH), as the very first place 1 would try to engage with my academic community. When it comes to the notion of a \"golden memory,\" I have to say that my fondest times have been those shared with fantastic friends along the way-too many to count, but most significantly with S. Marie McCarther, my dearest friend, colleague, and research partner. [...]at a time when the truth is constantly under siege, we have never been more necessary.

Bobrowsky discusses what can students see during the Apr 8, 2024 solar eclipse. He says that the Apr 8, 2024 solar eclipse will probably be the last one until 2045. You should start making plans to be at the path of totality on that date. If you are in other areas then, as with the Oct 14 eclipse, you will see only a partial eclipse and will not experience all of the phenomena. For most locations, totality will occur in the early- or mid-afternoon, and a partial eclipse will be visible for about an hour and a quarter before and after totality. Consider getting \"eclipse glasses\". These will allow you--and your students--to safely look at the Sun whether or not there is an eclipse in progress. He also emphasizes that being outside during an eclipse carries no additional risk beyond what you would experience on any other sunny day. Students can use the same pinhole projectors that they made for the Oct 14 eclipse.

Neuromuscular training (NMT) facilitates the acquisition of new movement patterns that reduce the anterior cruciate ligament injury risk. However, the neural mechanisms underlying these changes are unknown. To determine the relationship between brain activation and biomechanical changes after NMT with biofeedback. Cohort study. Research laboratory. Twenty female high school soccer athletes, with 10 in an augmented NMT group and 10 in a control (no training) group. Ten participants completed 6 weeks of NMT augmented with real-time biofeedback to reduce knee injury-risk movements, and 10 participants pursued no training. Augmented neuromuscular training (aNMT) was implemented with visual biofeedback that responded in real time to injury-risk biomechanical variables. A drop vertical jump with 3-dimensional motion capture was used to assess injury-risk neuromuscular changes before and after the 6-week intervention. Brain-activation changes were measured using functional magnetic resonance imaging during unilateral knee and multijoint motor tasks. After aNMT, sensory (precuneus), visual-spatial (lingual gyrus), and motor-planning (premotor) brain activity increased for knee-specific movement; sensorimotor cortex activity for multijoint movement decreased. The knee-abduction moment during landing also decreased (4.66 ± 5.45 newton meters; P = .02; Hedges g = 0.82) in the aNMT group but did not change in the control group (P > .05). The training-induced increased brain activity with isolated knee movement was associated with decreases in knee-abduction moment (r = 0.67; P = .036) and sensorimotor cortex activity for multijoint movement (r = 0.87; P = .001). No change in brain activity was observed in the control group (P > .05). The relationship between neural changes observed across tasks and reduced knee abduction suggests that aNMT facilitated recruitment of sensory integration centers to support reduced injury-risk mechanics and improve sensorimotor neural efficiency for multijoint control. Further research is warranted to determine if this training-related multimodal neuroplasticity enhances neuromuscular control during more complex sport-specific activities.

One day, a few years ago, Heller went to buy a power cord at the local Best Buy, and he noticed they had put a virtual reality headset out on the counter for customers to try. At that point, he had read a bit about VR--enough to make him curious--so he went over and put on the headset. Instantly, he found himself in a cavernous theater, near the stage, as several Cirque du Soleil acrobats assembled themselves into an elaborate human pyramid, just 10 or 12 feet from where he stood. He had no idea the technology would immerse him so completely in its world. Later, at home, his mind raced with possible applications for K-12 education--students could take a virtual walking tour of ancient Rome, climb inside a human body and watch the circulatory system in action, practice their Spanish in a virtual meetup with students in Madrid or Mexico City.

This essay argues that Jeremy Bentham’s experience of the 1780 Gordon Riots and 1787 sojourn to White Russia inspired his conception of several projects for managing unruly populations. Bentham’s devotion to speculative enterprise informs his Defence of Usury, which vindicates schemers and dreamers from the criticism of Adam Smith, whose Wealth of Nations caricatured projectors as “riotous” con-artists who threatened domestic peace. Bentham’s Defence, I show, resuscitated early modern debates over the efficacy of free-lance enterprise to authorize his own efforts to improve society. A projector and theorist of projection, Bentham reveals how residents of the late eighteenth century described riot so that they could suppress it.

The learning intention was for students to study the significance of the 1967 referendum, to understand how and why referendums are run, and then experience a referendum by posing this year's referendum question on the Voice. With regards to the Victorian Curriculum: History, Foundation-10, students at Levels 7 and 8 should be developing their understanding of historical significance by evaluating a 'cultural achievement that led to progress'.1 The curriculum at Levels 9 and 10 encourages students to explore the significance of an event in 'changing society'.2 The 1967 referendum and the Voice referendum provide an opportunity for students to consider the extent to which the rights of Indigenous Australians have changed over this time. The Significance of the 1967 Referendum Students began with a class discussion, accessing prior knowledge about the history of the Stolen Generations, the Indigenous flag and what it represents, the effects of colonisation, and the Australia Day date. Two videos provided a good starting point.7 Students looked at what changes were proposed for specific clauses in the Constitution-the first was to amend the Constitution to count Indigenous Australians in the Census, and the second was regarding law-making for all Australians.

Sign Language Studies is a journal that focuses on research and studies related to sign languages. In this article, the authors discuss the early research on Finnish Sign Language (FinSL) and the individuals who played a significant role in its development. The article begins by introducing Terhi Rissanen, a linguistics student who conducted research on the structure of FinSL. The authors then discuss Pivi Rain, who joined the research team as a student intern and focused on the acquisition of sign language. Ritva Takkinen, a speech therapist, also shares her journey into sign language research and her work on sign language acquisition. The article highlights the importance of these early researchers in establishing the foundation for the study of FinSL. The authors also touch on the challenges faced by the deaf community, such as the introduction of cochlear implants and the impact on sign language transmission. Overall, the article provides insights into the early research on FinSL and the contributions of these researchers to the field of sign language studies.

This study examined that how audio-visual (AV) aids can improve first-grade science students' performance. The objective of this research was to find out how well AV aids may enhance students' performance and learning. For this study, a quasi-experimental research design was employed. The participants for this research were 20 students of grade 1. A test composed of multiple-choice questions was used as a research instrument. The research found that the group used AV aids during teaching performed better than the group that received traditional lectures during teaching. Based on the findings, it is suggested that AV aids may be a useful tool for helping young children to understand the subject of science.
