Thomas Bolin, a student at Midland College Automotive, embodies Mark Twain's famous quote: "Find a job you enjoy doing and you won't have to work a day in your life." "I've always loved tinkering with things," said Bolin. “I enjoy seeing how things work and how they go right. My father used to be a carpenter and when I was growing up I helped him build houses. Now I am learning a lot of hands-on learning every day in MC's Automotive Technology program at the Advanced Technology Center. I get to know a lot of new people, which is a great experience for me. " Thomas Bolin excels at MC while living with dyslexia, a disorder that causes difficulty reading and understanding, and dysgraphia, a disorder with writing. “My mother was a teacher and was very helpful in growing up,” he said. “I come from Monahans and ultimately chose MC b

Duke recently received a $ 5 million donation to support his science and technology initiative. The donation comes from the Charles LaFitte Foundation, a family foundation founded by Duke parents Jeffrey and Suzanne Citron.

The gift will be used to support the initiative

LANGLADE COUNTY, Wisconsin (WAOW) - The effects of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic continue to be felt by many populations across the country and Wisconsin. One demographic group in particular is the elderly population who are in assisted living facilities, nursing homes or hospitals. The pandemic has restricted and even restricted public access to these facilities for visits, ultimately discouraging older people from speaking to or seeing their loved ones. "Our loved ones at these facilities don't have the natural connection with our people," said Holly Luerssen, Langlade and Lincoln County 4-H coordinator. The 4-H Tech Changemakers in conjunction with Langlade County Healthy Aging in Rural Towns (HeART project) started a test run pilot program with an granted grant. The program provides education and community service to the aging populatio

How musician-teachers offer different modules to reach learners around the world As for the Indian classical arts, guru-sishya parampara is considered to be the most ideal and effective way of teaching and learning. Veterans in the field describe it as "sinne barr sinna sikhlai" (straight from one to the other). When lessons on Skype began about two decades ago, mostly for overseas or overseas students, it was viewed only as a temporary addition to the face-to-face learning experience. But the pandemic has made online learning the main medium of instruction. Several experienced artists and teachers have developed different learning modules tailored to different categories of students. Let's look at how technological interventions have changed the Guru-Sishya equation, the learning experience, and the pattern of teaching. Specific topics While some teach in order to appeal to passionate aspirants, there are others who offer a "sampler" for later in-

An international seminar “Waste or Valuable Raw Materials?” Was held at PetrSU as part of the Karelia Cross-Border Cooperation Program to promote cross-border technologies and innovations, as well as the environmental safety of cross-border cooperation between Finland and Russia. The seminar took place as part of the Karelia CBC program. The organizers of the seminar are the Kajaani University of Applied Sciences and the Petrozavodsk State University. The Vice Rector for Education and Social Work of PetrSU VK Katarov welcomed the participants of the seminar and pointed out the great importance of the event topic. The Ministry of Natural Resources and Ecology of the Republic of Karelia and the Finnish Ministry of the Environment were invited to the opening of the seminar, which defined the legal aspects of waste management, the current situation and regional perspectives in the field of waste management. The seminar topics were divided into two main areas: waste ma

Bans and social distancing restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic have forced educational institutions to switch from traditional face-to-face learning modes to online learning environments. This sudden shift resulted in increased IT requirements that not all learners could handle. Reports during the pandemic highlighted issues such as loss of learning and productivity, as well as emotional distress among students around the world. During the pandemic, the emotional state of the students was such that many could not focus on studying. This also affected their self-directed learning effectiveness, which includes both productivity and creativity. Productivity is the ability to use technology to produce academic results that are efficient and of better quality. Creativity means the use of creative processes in the learning process with IT tools. The central question is: what can be done to increase the effectiveness of IT-mediated learning during the pandemic and beyond? Prom

(TNS) technology became a necessity for Linda Brandon when she owned Linda's Music in Decatur. "In the mid to late 1990s we were like, 'Okay, we have to do this, we have to get a computer' and we built one," said Brandon, who closed her store in 2020 and retired. "You couldn't just go to Best Buy and buy one like you do today." She recalls how she and Hugh Reeves were "kind of lost". But through trial and error, they found out. Today, educators often refer to students as “digital natives” because they have never known a world without computers, cell phones and iPads. Even a young child seems to know instinctively how to use them. But people who grew up with rotary phones, not cable TV, and before computers were in every home and office, had to learn to use them, and some still feel uncomfortable. In a world where even ordering from a fast food restaurant requires th

Language and culture have been stolen from many indigenous peoples in Canada through boarding schools and assimilation. Samson LaMontagne wants to bring this language and culture back. LaMontagne teaches Michif at the Father Vachon School in Saskatoon. Michif is a metis language spoken in parts of Canada and the United States that combines Cree, French, and other languages. Not only does LaMontagne maintain his teachings in the classroom, he also tries to reach people in a place where many spend a lot of time: Instagram. He said he initially created content for teachers and students, but parents also started reaching out. He decided to use the platform because it is particularly accessible. I believe that every student I have who speaks Michif breathes life into the language and keeps it alive. - Samson LaMontagne LaMontagne also said it was important for indigenous peoples to help preserve their language and culture. "If you want things to be done right a

The new National Education Policy (NEP) comes at a time when disruptive technologies such as artificial intelligence and virtual reality have made solid ground in many sectors, Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan said on Saturday. Pradhan also stressed that the benefits of digital infrastructure can be fully realized when every single student has access to digital devices. '' NEP comes at a time when disruptive technologies such as artificial intelligence and virtual reality have become firmly established in many sectors. These technologies offer our children and teachers a number of opportunities. Our government has announced the National Digital Education Architecture (NDEAR), a unifying national digital infrastructure to supply the entire educational ecosystem with energy, ”he said in his address at the Techspectations EDUCATE summit. The one-day summit, hosted by Manorama Online and JAIN Online, part of JAIN (Deemed-to-be University), discussed the emergin

Edtech adoption in our schools has increased during the pandemic, and if reports are to be believed, the adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has steadily increased too. This is largely a positive development, but do principals and teachers really understand the technology? AI is often adaptive and self-learning, which means that what it already understands about a learner will lead it to draw certain conclusions about that learner's future needs. As more schools use AI-powered technologies, it becomes more important that teachers understand how technology makes decisions. Teachers need to understand not only what a child has learned, but also how they have learned it. For this to be possible, AI-enabled technology vendors need to explain how to choose a particular course of action. For example, AI teaching a foreign language might advise you to revise some words more often than others based on data on the words you forgot the fastest. AI ambiguity It can be diff

July 13, 2021 - A battle rages in the heart of the atmosphere. And no, it's not the current heat wave. It is the wireless radio frequencies known as the 12 GigaHertz (GHz) spectrum. On Wednesday, July 14th, 2021, take part in the broadband breakfast live online event "Spectrum for 5G, LEOs and the Future of the 12 GigaHertz (GHz) Band". You can also PARTICIPATE in the current Broadband Breakfast Live Online Event. REGISTER HERE. The 12 GHz band is the name commonly used to identify a 500 megahertz frequency strip that spans the lower end of the so-called K band between 12.2 GHz and 12.7 GHz. The tape was mainly used for downlink satellite communications - most notably by the International Space Station SpaceX and Dish. But now the band has become a focal point in the debate on 5G services versus satellite technologies. Proponents of frequency sharing believe that now is the time to open up 12 GHz to more intense broadband usage. However, some

Svetlana Filiatreau, director of BIT-Cyber, said locating this section of BIT-Cyber ​​in Northern Virginia should help harness the strengths of the area's population. "This diverse group of immigrants in Virginia has the potential to solve global cyber threats if we deliberately incorporate this uniqueness into our work with industry," said Filiatreau. Jessica Gulick '07, founder and CEO of cybersecurity marketing and cyber games company Katzcy and commissioner for the US Cyber ​​Games, was a guest speaker for the program. She said it is important that the program's students embrace its diversity and use it as a strength. “Cybersecurity is different from IT [information technology] that there's more to it than just managing security policies. It's about understanding behavior online. It's about understanding why people do certain things and what they're trying to get from them, ”Gulick said. "When it comes to understanding people, you
