In teacher training workshops and professional development activities, you may have heard talk about 21st century skills and “new literacies.” Many of us have realized that our students today need new sets of skills to prepare them to be successful participants in the globalized society of the future. But for many busy teachers, these new skills and concepts may be unclear or you may be struggling with how to implement them in the actual classroom. In this text, we’ll be considering some of the fundamental changes that are currently taking place in 21st century education by looking at the 4Cs, and, importantly, we’ll also consider how these changes can and should be impacting English language teaching and learning around the globe.Item Open Access 50 Maneras de Hacer Redituables los Medios(What's New in Publishing, 2019) Radcliffe, DamianEste informe se divide entre seis capítulos que presenta los generadores de ingresos principales para editores: muros de pago, suscripciones, publicidad, libres de anuncios, eventos, y e-commerce.

Ashfall Fossil Beds (UNSM Ap-116), near Royal, Nebraska, has yielded an extensive collection of equid cranial elements and teeth derived from the Cap Rock Member, Ash Hollow Formation. The two sites are interpreted to be Clarendonian in age [12.5 to 9.0 Ma], but may contain faunal assemblages from differing Clarendonian subages. The two sites exhibit a notably similar composition of equid genera, including the tribes Equini (Pliohippus, Calippus, and Protohippus), and Hipparionini (Cormohipparion, Neohipparion, and Pseudhipparion). Both sites share the same proportion of the equid tribes Hipparionini and Equini. Approximately seventy-five percent of the equids at both sites are members of the Hipparionini tribe, whereas twenty-five percent are of the Equini tribe. The comparative composition within the Equini tribe between the two sites is nearly identical with differences in the absence of Calippus at Ashfall and a larger proportion of Protohippus at Mission. Only slight differences are observed in the composition of genera within the Hipparionini tribe between the two sites, with the Mission Pit containing a higher percentage of Neohipparion. The striking taxonomic similarity between the two sites is not only unique but also rare, suggesting a correlative relationship within the early to medial Clarendonian (Cl1 or Cl2). This similarity also suggests unique paleoecological relationships among equids and has a potential for insight into plant ecology and equid niche partitioning during this time interval.Item Open Access Abarenicola pacifica(2014-02-17) Meyer, Kirstin; Hiebert, Terra C.; Hiebert, T.C.; Butler, Barbara A.; Shanks, A.L.Item Open Access About Butpeople(1934-12-30) Capek, Karel; Comrada, Norma; Comrada, BeanItem Open Access About the Verb "To Want"(Lidové noviny AS, 1931-04-12) Capek, Karel; Comrada, Norma; Comrada, BeanItem Open Access About the Word Robot(Lidové noviny AS, 1993-12-19) Capek, Karel; Comrada, Norma; Comrada, BeanItem Open Access Above and Beyond Two Deaths(Lidové noviny AS, 1927-08-24) Capek, Karel; Comrada, Norma; Comrada, BeanItem Open Access Abstinence from Child Labor and Profit Seeking(University of Oregon, Dept of Economics, 2000-07-01) Davies, Ronald B.Some firms voluntarily abstain from using child labor, presumably in response to concerns about the welfare of overseas child workers. These firms do not, however, support banning the imports of competitors’ products manufactured with child labor. As an explanation of this seemingly contradictory behavior, I consider a setting in which two firms engage in Bertrand competition for consumers who vary in the value they place on goods made without child labor. When the firms differentiate themselves according to their labor input, both enjoy greater profits. If imports using child labor are banned, this reduces the profits of both firms. Similar results can also arise in a many firm setting. If charitable donations to education foundations raise the cost of child labor, this too can arise as a purely profitseeking activity by adult labor firms. Thus, while the adult-labor firms engage in seemingly altruistic behavior, they may do so not out of regard for children but rather for their own profits.Item Open Access Abu Golgotha(Winning Writers, 2006-11) Long, Robert Hilla poem about torture in Iraq + US citizen complicity.Item Open Access Abuse Awareness: Physical and Psychological Health Consequences(2006-11) Goldsmith, R.E.; Freyd, Jennifer J.; DePrince, Anne P.Despite established links between child abuse and psychological symptoms such as depression, dissociation, and anxiety, many abuse survivors experience awareness of specific abuse instances or abuse-related symptoms without acknowledging the abuse itself. The current study examines relations among abuse awareness, physical symptoms, and emotional functioning in young adults. One hundred eighty-five university students responded to questions regarding perceptions of physical, sexual, and emotional abuse, as well as standard abuse and symptom measures. Ninety-six individuals completed the questionnaire a second time 1-2 years later. At baseline, labeling oneself as having been abused was not correlated with depression, anxiety, dissociation, or physical health complaints. At follow-up, however, labeling abuse was significantly positively related to depression, anxiety, physical health complaints, and the number of reported visits to a health professional, even after controlling for abuse severity. These results indicate that processes involved in abuse perception appear to be connected to individuals' psychological and physical functioning, and that abuse awareness may have important clinical implications.Item Open Access Academic Kindergarten and Later Academic Success: The Impact of Direct Instruction(National Institute for Direct Instruction (NIFDI), 2008-12) Engelmann, Kurt; Stockard, JeanThe National Reading Panel recently concluded that pre-literacy and early literacy instruction is appropriate for kindergarten students and an important element of promoting higher achievement in later grades. This paper examines the relationship of receiving the Direct Instruction (DI) kindergarten curriculum, Reading Mastery, on students’ oral reading fluency in first and second grade. Data from several hundred students in two different schools are analyzed. Achievement was measured using the Dynamic Indicators of Basic Skills (DIBELS). Results indicate that the students who received Direct Instruction kindergarten had significantly higher achievement in early elementary school. These results replicate those found in other studies, providing consistent evidence of the effectiveness of Direct Instruction kindergarten instruction in promoting later academic achievement.Item Open Access Academic merit, status variables, and students' grades(University of Georgia, 1985-09-01) Stockard, Jean; Dwight, Lang; Wood, J. WalterStudents' grades are important mechanisms for advancement and success in life. Grades are criteria for college admission and academic awards, and they undoubtedly influence the encouragement and advice students receive regarding their future plans. In using grades in these ways it is assumed that they reflect students' actual achievement. This paper examines this assumption by looking at the extent to which ability, social class, and gender, as well as achievement. influence students' grades in school. Earlier work is extended by including both gender and social class in the analysis and by examining influences on students' grades in each year from the 7th- to the 12th-grade and both the total grade average and marks in the subject areas of mathematics and English. The total grade averages were examined because they have most often been the focus of other studies. English and mathematics grades were examined because of the centrality of these disciplines to the school curriculum and because of the association of achievement in these areas with both gender and social class.Item Open Access Access to Collections Initiative : working documents and final report(University of Oregon Libraries, 2002) Hixson, Carol G.Final report made to Deb Carver, University Librarian by Carol Hixson, Facilitator, Access to Collections Initiative, September 12, 2002. Working documents include the survey form, survey results in spreadsheets, background information, and meeting minutes.Item Open Access Accessing GIS Data for Oregon through the Internet(2003-06-19T19:59:23Z) Nicholson, Andrew; Sproles, EricFinding accurate and useful data is one of the biggest challenges in working with GIS. Although free GIS data is available over the internet, few web sites provide an easy-to-use, navigable interface, which allows the user to find what they want. The University of Oregon Libraries sought to remedy this problem when it wanted to provide access to its own collection of geospatial datasets. By incorporating technologies, such as Flash, SQL, and the php web environment, the University of Oregon Libraries has produced a set of attractive, easy to use web indexes for use by students and the Oregon public. While the indexes provide downloadable links and information for datasets, the Libraries plan on utilizing these indexes as a foundation for providing access to aerial photos, maps and other GIS data.
