Independent study programs aren't for the "best" students; they are populated by students at their best. Student disengagement from school is a trending concern, and many schools have turned their attention to independent study programs as a way to nurture student motivation and creativity. But where to begin? Geraldine Woods offers a practical, step-by-step guide based on her experience designing and directing the much-admired independent study program at the Horace Mann School. Under the supervision of teachers, students embark on a remarkable variety of projects and become teachers themselves, conducting seminars with their peers along the way to preparing their final product—which could as easily be an interactive website or musical composition as a research paper. Woods's book details the nuts and bolts of the approach and shows how to customize it for a variety of age groups, budgets, and curricular requirements. It is a gift to all educators—including homeschooling parents—who want to give students the freedom to pursue their interests.Ver livro

Thanks to ancient Greece, we know more about philosophy, politics, the democratic system, mythology, art, the Olympics, and many, many lingual references imbedded in almost every European language. Ancient Greece has had a significant impact on many concepts we still hold true today. Ancient Greece was a northeastern Mediterranean society that existed from the 12th-- 9th centuries BC till the end of classical antiquity (c. advertisement 600). It was made up of a loose collection of culturally and linguistically associated city-states and other areas that were only combined once, under Alexander the Great's empire, for thirteen years (336-323 BC). Classical antiquity was quickly followed by the Early Middle Ages and the Byzantine period in Western history. Whether you watch a movie with Brad Pitt or go through an informational book like this one, learning about the ancient ways of the Greek when they were truly influential, is something that can help you appreciate where so many things came from, what we believe these days, and how science and history have developed over time.Ver livro
Cities are more than just a collection of buildings, streets, and infrastructure; they are living, breathing entities defined by the intricate web of human connections that form their foundation. The social fabric of a city—the dynamic interplay of relationships, cultures, and shared experiences—plays a crucial role in shaping not only the identity of urban areas but also the lives of the individuals who inhabit them. Understanding this essence of urban life requires delving into the complexities of community and identity, two pillars that anchor the urban experience. Urban life is characterized by a unique blend of diversity and interconnectedness. In cities, people from various backgrounds come together, bringing with them distinct cultures, traditions, and perspectives. This convergence fosters opportunities for collaboration, creativity, and innovation, but it also presents challenges in the form of tensions, misunderstandings, and inequities. Despite these challenges, cities often serve as melting pots where differences are not just tolerated but celebrated, giving rise to vibrant communities that redefine what it means to coexist. The identity of a city emerges not only from its physical attributes—its skyline, landmarks, and neighborhoods—but also from the shared narratives of its residents. These narratives are shaped by the history, struggles, and triumphs of the community. From the bustling marketplaces that echo with the hum of daily life to the quiet parks that offer respite amidst the chaos, every corner of a city tells a story. These stories intertwine, creating a collective identity that is both fluid and enduring.Ver livro
How Mexican and Latinx hackers apply concepts from coding to their lived experiences In Code Work, Héctor Beltrán examines Mexican and Latinx coders' personal strategies of self-making as they navigate a transnational economy of tech work. Beltrán shows how these hackers apply concepts from the code worlds to their lived experiences, deploying batches, loose coupling, iterative processing (looping), hacking, prototyping, and full-stack development in their daily social interactions—at home, in the workplace, on the dating scene, and in their understanding of the economy, culture, and geopolitics. Merging ethnographic analysis with systems thinking, he draws on his eight years of research in México and the United States—during which he participated in and observed hackathons, hacker schools, and tech entrepreneurship conferences—to unpack the conundrums faced by workers in a tech economy that stretches from villages in rural México to Silicon Valley. Beltrán's highly original, wide-ranging analysis uniquely connects technology studies, the anthropology of capitalism, and Latinx and Latin American studies.Ver livro
