Teaching Computational Thinking by Maureen D. Neumann,Lisa Dion Pdf

A guide for educators to incorporate computational thinking—a set of cognitive skills applied to problem solving—into a broad range of subjects. Computational thinking—a set of mental and cognitive tools applied to problem solving—is a fundamental skill that all of us (and not just computer scientists) draw on. Educators have found that computational thinking enhances learning across a range of subjects and reinforces students’ abilities in reading, writing, and arithmetic. This book offers a guide for incorporating computational thinking into middle school and high school classrooms, presenting a series of activities, projects, and tasks that employ a range of pedagogical practices and cross a variety of content areas. As students problem solve, communicate, persevere, work as a team, and learn from mistakes, they develop a concrete understanding of the abstract principles used in computer science to create code and other digital artifacts. The book guides students and teachers to integrate computer programming with visual art and geometry, generating abstract expressionist–style images; construct topological graphs that represent the relationships between characters in such literary works as Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone and Romeo and Juliet; apply Newtonian physics to the creation of computer games; and locate, analyze, and present empirical data relevant to social and political issues. Finally, the book lists a variety of classroom resources, including the programming languages Scratch (free to all) and Codesters (free to teachers). An accompanying website contains the executable programs used in the book’s activities.

Innovating by Luis Perez-Breva Pdf

Discover the MIT-developed, “doer’s approach” to innovation with this guide that reveals you don’t need an earth-shattering idea to create a standout product, service, or business—just a hunch that you can scale up to impact. Innovation is the subject of countless books and courses, but there’s very little out there about how you actually innovate. Innovation and entrepreneurship are not one and the same, although aspiring innovators often think of them that way. They are told to get an idea and a team and to build a show-and-tell for potential investors. In Innovating, Luis Perez-Breva describes another approach—a doer’s approach developed over a decade at MIT and internationally in workshops, classes, and companies. He shows that innovating doesn’t require an earth-shattering idea; all it takes is a hunch. Anyone can do it. By prototyping a problem and learning by being wrong, innovating can be scaled up to make an impact. As Perez-Breva demonstrates, “nothing is new” at the outset of what we only later celebrate as innovation. In Innovating, the process—illustrated by unique and dynamic artwork—is shown to be empirical, experimental, nonlinear, and incremental. You give your hunch the structure of a problem. Anything can be a part. Your innovating accrues other people’s knowledge and skills. Perez-Breva describes how to create a kit for innovating, and outlines questions that will help you think in new ways. Finally, he shows how to systematize what you’ve learned: to advocate, communicate, scale up, manage innovating continuously, and document—“you need a notebook to converse with yourself,” he advises. Everyone interested in innovating also needs to read this book.

The Book by Amaranth Borsuk Pdf

The book as object, as content, as idea, as interface. What is the book in a digital age? Is it a physical object containing pages encased in covers? Is it a portable device that gives us access to entire libraries? The codex, the book as bound paper sheets, emerged around 150 CE. It was preceded by clay tablets and papyrus scrolls. Are those books? In this volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series, Amaranth Borsuk considers the history of the book, the future of the book, and the idea of the book. Tracing the interrelationship of form and content in the book's development, she bridges book history, book arts, and electronic literature to expand our definition of an object we thought we knew intimately. Contrary to the many reports of its death (which has been blamed at various times on newspapers, television, and e-readers), the book is alive. Despite nostalgic paeans to the codex and its printed pages, Borsuk reminds us, the term “book” commonly refers to both medium and content. And the medium has proved to be malleable. Rather than pinning our notion of the book to a single form, Borsuk argues, we should remember its long history of transformation. Considering the book as object, content, idea, and interface, she shows that the physical form of the book has always been the site of experimentation and play. Rather than creating a false dichotomy between print and digital media, we should appreciate their continuities.

Numerische Simulation dreidimensionaler Umformvorgänge mit Einbezug des Temperaturverhaltens by Jürgen Gerhardt Pdf

In diesem Band wird die Entwicklung eines auf der Finite-Elemente-Methode aufbauenden Simulationsverfahrens für die Kalt-, Halbwarm- und Warmmassivumformung beschrieben. Das Verfahren liefert detaillierte Informationen über die plastische Werkstückdeformation sowie Wärmeentstehung und Temperaturausgleich bei Massivumformvorgängen. Die Methode basiert auf dem Markovschen Extremalprinzip und ist auf isotrope, inkompressible Werkstoffe beschränkt. Das starrplastische Fließverhalten wurde mit Hilfe des Stoffgesetzes nach Lévy-Mises erfaßt (bei technischen Vorgängen der Massivumformung können die elastischen und temperaturbedingten Formänderungsanteile gegenüber den plastischen vernachlässigt werden). Die Anwendbarkeit des Simulationsverfahrens wurde an Beispielen zum Kalt- und Warmstauchen von Stahl- und Aluminiumquadern gezeigt. Direkte Vergleiche von berechneten mit experimentellen Untersuchungsergebnissen zeigten eine gute Übereinstimmung. Dazu wurde der zeitliche Temperaturverlauf im Stauchkörper an verschiedenen Stellen meßtechnisch erfaßt und mit den Simulationswerten verglichen. Weitere Vergleiche wurden anhand von Kraft-Weg-Verläufen, Werkstückkonturen und visioplastisch bestimmten Vergleichs-Formänderungsverteilungen durchgeführt.

Entspannung mit allen Sinnen by Jacqueline Duckert Pdf

Liebe Eltern, liebe LehrerInnen, liebe ErzieherInnen, in den vergangenen Jahren war ich an verschiedenen Grundschulen als Lehrerin und Psychologische Beraterin tätig. Dabei wurde deutlich, dass der Spagat zwischen Anforderungsprofil des Schullehrplanes und Fähigkeiten/Fertigkeiten der SchülerInnen immer größer wurde. Zunehmend habe ich mit verhaltensauffälligen, konzentrationsschwachen und zappeligen SchülerInnen gearbeitet. Ursachen dafür können sein, dass das Leben der Kleinen immer mehr durch eine hektische und hochtechnisierte modern entwickelte Medienwelt beeinflusst wird sowie zunehmend auch wechselnde schwierige Familienkonstellationen zum Lebensalltag der Kinder gehören, was erdrückend auf sie wirken muss

Beglückte Verbundtnüß des Adels mit der Tugend by Janet K. Page Pdf

"Beglückte Verbündtnuss des Adels mit der Tugend (The happy union of nobility with virtue) is a Sittenspiel (moral or morality play) with music. The work, preserved anonymously in a single manuscript source at the Österreichische Nationalbibliothek (Mus. Hs. 18493), was performed in August 1688 at the Augustinian convent of St. Laurenz in Vienna by the convent-school girls. Beglückte Verbundtnüss draws inspiration from court entertainments, Jesuit school drama, and pastoral traditions, and its attractive music is perfectly suited to the skills of young performers and the limited resources of the convent. Besides illuminating the musical life and educational practices one of the imperial capital's most prominent educational institutions for girls in the early modern era, the work provides a fascinating view of Vienna's unique and complex blend of politics, religion, and social mores."--Page ix.

William Barton Rogers and the Idea of MIT by A. J. Angulo Pdf

Winner, 2009 Outstanding Book Award, History of Education SocietyWinner, 2009 Richard Slatten Prize for Excellence in Virginia Biography, Virginia Historical Society Conceptual founder of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, William Barton Rogers was a highly influential scientific mind and educational reformer of the nineteenth century. A. J. Angulo recounts the largely unknown story of one man's ideas and how they gave way to the creation of one of America’s premier institutions of higher learning. MIT's long tradition of teaching, research, and technological innovation for real-world applications is inexorably linked to Rogers’ educational philosophy. Emphasizing the “useful arts”—a curriculum of specialized scientific study stressing theory and practice, innovation and functionality—Rogers sought to revolutionize standard educational practices of the day. Controversial in an era typified by a generalist approach to teaching the sciences, Rogers’ model is now widely emulated by institutions throughout the world. Exploring the intersection of Rogers' educational philosophy and the rise of technical institutes in America, this biography offers a long-overdue account of the man behind MIT.

The Privileged Poor by Anthony Abraham Jack Pdf

An NPR Favorite Book of the Year Winner of the Critics’ Choice Book Award, American Educational Studies Association Winner of the Mirra Komarovsky Book Award Winner of the CEP–Mildred García Award for Exemplary Scholarship “Eye-opening...Brings home the pain and reality of on-campus poverty and puts the blame squarely on elite institutions.” —Washington Post “Jack’s investigation redirects attention from the matter of access to the matter of inclusion...His book challenges universities to support the diversity they indulge in advertising.” —New Yorker “The lesson is plain—simply admitting low-income students is just the start of a university’s obligations. Once they’re on campus, colleges must show them that they are full-fledged citizen.” —David Kirp, American Prospect “This book should be studied closely by anyone interested in improving diversity and inclusion in higher education and provides a moving call to action for us all.” —Raj Chetty, Harvard University The Ivy League looks different than it used to. College presidents and deans of admission have opened their doors—and their coffers—to support a more diverse student body. But is it enough just to admit these students? In this bracing exposé, Anthony Jack shows that many students’ struggles continue long after they’ve settled in their dorms. Admission, they quickly learn, is not the same as acceptance. This powerfully argued book documents how university policies and campus culture can exacerbate preexisting inequalities and reveals why some students are harder hit than others.
