text: Scientists Come Up With 'Law of Urination' Elephants pee as quickly as rats, study finds By Neal Colgrass, Newser Staff Posted Oct 18, 2013 4:04 PM CDT STORY COMMENTS (75) (Newser) – Ever imagined a peeing contest between animals of various shapes and sizes? Probably not, but scientists studying the matter say that mammals big and small empty their bladders at about the same speed, New Scientist reports. More specifically, experts at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta have clocked the pee-time of rats, dogs, elephants, goats, and cows, and come up with a "law of urination"—that each animal takes about 21 seconds to go to the bathroom. The big news: Elephants empty their bladders at the same speed as smaller mammals, because gravity pulls urine quickly through their large urethras. Smaller animals, on the other hand, have shorter urethras that get less gravitational pull, but smaller bladders to empty out. Still, the urinary law has its limits: Really small creatures like bats and rats can pee in less than a second. The study's lead author hopes the finding will help diagnose urinary problems in large animals and possibly inspire designs for water towers, which also rely on gravity.

Kewaunee High School
Luxemburg-Casco High School
Southern Door High School
Sturgeon Bay High School
Sevastopol High School
Gibraltar High School
Washington Island High School
The three area state championship wrestlers will walk the halls with pride this week. The WIAA State Individual Wrestling Championships finished up Saturday night with two Luxemburg-Casco wrestlers and one Southern Door Eagle claiming state titles. Colin Shubert became just the third Southern Door student athlete to win a state title. The last was Joey Charles back in 1997. The first will be the subject of our Razors Edge High School Sports Trivia question Thursday on 104.1 FM WRLU. Schubert doubled up Andrew Philibeck of Freedom, 8-4 at 145 pounds to claim his gold medal. The senior finished his high school career with an overall record of (47-5) this season. He walks away with a state championship and the crown of the all-time leader in career wins in school history. Luxemburg-Casco accomplished a rare feat with two teammates claiming gold in the same season. Senior Newton Smerchek won his second straight state title by pinning Brandon Elrick (45-7) of Little Chute in less than two minutes in the 285-pound championship match. His season record was (47-2). L-C junior Luke Destiche shut down Freedom's Reed Ambrosious 8-1 in the 220-pound Division 2 title match. Destiche finished 2013 out with a (44-7) record and will look to copy Smerchek's back-to-back accomplishment next year.

National signing day for high school seniors was over a week ago, but quarterback Nick Foles of Austin, Texas, was willing to wait.
Foles, the Central Texas player of the year, signed a letter-of-intent with Michigan State on Sunday after a weekend visit to East Lansing.
Foles, who has qualified academically, had originally committed to Arizona State but reopened his commitment after Dennis Erickson replaced Dirk Koetter as the Sun Devils head coach.
MSU coach Mark Dantonio and the Spartan coaching staff then contacted Foles and expressed their interest. Foles met with the MSU staff in person for the first time this weekend, and also spoke with basketball coach Tom Izzo and members of the MSU football team.
"I researched the coaches to see what kind of system they used," said Foles, who threw for 3,266 yards and 32 touchdowns this season. "And it fit me pretty well. Everything they want is why I play football."
Foles also had offers from Baylor, Virginia and Mississippi, and might have generated more interest if he hadn't injured his shoulder this season.
He hurt his right shoulder in the fourth game this season and continued to play with the injury. He had surgery to repair a torn labrum about five weeks ago.
"It hurt pretty bad but I saw a therapist and got some work done on it during the season," Foles said.
Foles had the same procedure as NFL quarterback Drew Brees, who also attended Austin Westlake High. Brees arranged for Foles to be operated on by the same doctor who performed his surgery.
"The normal rehab time for that injury is three to six months, but I'm ahead of schedule right now," Foles said. "I should be ready for (fall) camp."
The Spartans return just two scholarship quarterbacks next season in Brian Hoyer and Connor Dixon.
Kirk Cousins of Holland Christian also has signed with the Spartans, giving the team two quarterbacks for the 2007 class.

Sovereignty and territorial claims
In addition to Australia's Antarctic Territory, six other nations claim Antarctic territory. Some of these areas overlap.
Sovereignty in Antarctica is important to Australia, even though its claim is not supported by most of the other Antarctic Treaty countries. The Treaty puts aside disputes over territorial claims by providing that no activities taking place while the Treaty is in force can be used to assert, support or deny a claim. No new claims can be made.
- Having a strong presence and strong international regime in Antarctica minimises the risk of external threats to Australia from that direction. If there was no Treaty, what threats could come to Australia from the South?
Prior to the Treaty, seven countries had a historic claim to Antarctic territory. See the map of Antarctic Territorial Claims [PDF]. There are 48 treaty parties. Of these, seven claim territory in Antarctica (claimants), 12 are Original Signatories, and 28 are Consultative Parties. The Treaty entered into force on 23 June 1961. Only four other countries (all claimants themselves) have recognised Australia's claim to territory. With the signing of the original Treaty, the claimants to the territory were in the majority, but now that they are not, the claimants may have less influence. This is partly because decisions are taken by consensus and claimants do not (normally) have a special role. The strength of the Treaty is that it protects the interest of all nations that participate in the Treaty system, including the claimants.
- Ask students to research territorial claims in Antarctica.
- Which countries have staked territorial claims?
- What are the reasons for their claims?
- Which countries don't have claims? Why?
- Which claims overlap?
- What are possible consequences of these overlapping claims?
- Main reasons for Antarctic claims - geographical proximity: Australia and New Zealand; regarded as geographical extension of their country: Argentina and Chile; significant role in Antarctic exploration: Australia, France, New Zealand, Norway, United Kingdom.
- In groups, students could script a play about how Argentina, Chile, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, France and Norway each claimed Antarctic territory, and how some of these countries didn't recognise the claims of other countries. The play can also look at how other (non-claimant) countries built stations inside the territory of the claimant countries, and examine how the Antarctic Treaty didn't so much settle the differences, as prevent further territorial disputes during the life of the Treaty.
- Have students research Australia's Antarctic program.
- What does Australia do in Antarctica?
- Why do we do it?
- Why is it important enough to spend many millions of dollars on each year?
- See the articles in the Australian Antarctic Magazine for information on current projects.
- Politician's view - 'The Australian territorial claim has done much to preserve a reasonable level of government support for the Antarctic program.' Have students discuss this proposition in groups.
Issue - Sovereignty
Only four other countries recognise the Australian Antarctic Territory. This means that people of other nationalities visiting the AAT might ignore our laws. In particular those laws relating to illegal fishing, bycatch mitigation and whale hunting. Does this matter? If it does, should we do anything about it? What can we do?
Issue - Competing resources
In a climate where government funding is restricted, should most scientific activities be centred around the stations or out in the wider Antarctica? If we operate more remote field bases, can we afford to close one of the permanent stations?

|Effect of consumed carbon to nitrogen ratio of mycelial morphology and arachidonic acid production in cultures of Mortierella alpina.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 16233009 Owner: NLM Status: PubMed-not-MEDLINE
|The influence of the consumed carbon to nitrogen (C/N) ratio on arachidonic acid (AA) production and mycelial morphology was investigated in cultures of Mortierella alpina using shake flasks and a fermentor. The consumed C/N ratio was varied from 5 to 32 under the condition that the total initial amount of carbon and nitrogen sources was 50 g/l. Cellular yield increased markedly at C/N ratios below 7; carbon utilization was switched from cellular growth to lipid biosynthesis in the C/N ratio range of 7-15; lipid biosynthesis was most active when the C/N ratio was in the range of 15-32. However, for C/N ratios higher than 15, the mycelial concentration decreased due to nitrogen limitation but the lipid yield still increased. In the presence of excess nitrogen, the biomass concentration depended on the amount of the nitrogen source, but the AA yield was inversely related to this. On the other hand, in the presence of excess carbon, the fatty acid concentration increased with carbon source concentration but the AA concentration remained constant. From the viewpoint of AA production, the optimum C/N ratio was in the range of 15 to 20 with a balance between the amounts of carbon and nitrogen sources. When an enriched medium was used at a fixed C/N ratio of 20, the cellular and AA concentrations were shown to be proportional to the total concentrations of carbon and nitrogen sources in both flasks and the fermentor. The whole pellet size and width of pellet annular regions did not change with increasing C/N ratio for C/N ratios below 20 in the flask cultures. However, when the C/N ratio was higher than 20, these sizes increased in proportion to the C/N ratio.

VISTA, Calif. (AP) - San Diego County prosecutors have filed new allegations against three members of a sex bondage ring facing trial in the violent death of a Camp Pendleton Marine's wife.
U-T San Diego reports the defendants, already charged with five felonies in the slaying of Brittany Killgore, are also charged with special circumstance allegations accusing them of murder during a kidnapping.
The District Attorney's office has not yet announced whether it will seek the death penalty or life without parole for 46-year-old Louis Perez, 37-year-old Dorothy Maraglino and 25-year-old Jessica Lopez.
Prosecutors say Killgore became an unwitting victim of the defendants' sadistic behavior when she agreed to go on a dinner cruise with Perez in April 2012. Her strangled body was found several days later near Lake Skinner.

Fun with Google Translator
How it works is you type something in some language you speak in the top box, tell it what language you wrote that in by clicking a box in the top row (using the little international language abbreviations as your guide) then click the bottom row box which corresponds to the language you want to translate your statement into.
Hit "translate" and the flash widget sends the appropriate arguments directly to google translator (after stripping out illegal characters you may have typed in-or trying to anyway) then displays the result in the bottom box. A fun thing to do is then paste the bottom box text into the top box and swap the box settings to see how it translates back.
Kind o fun, for a nerdy linguist.

Laminate flooring is a multi-layer synthetic flooring product, fused together with a lamination process. Laminate flooring simulates wood (or stone, in some cases) with a photographic applique layer under a clear protective layer. The inner core layer is usually composed of melamine resin and fiber board materials. There is sometimes a glue backing for ease of installation. It has the advantages that it is durable, as compared with carpet, and attractive, at a lower cost as compared to natural floor materials. Laminate floors are reasonably easy for a do-it-yourself homeowner to install. Laminate flooring are packaged as a number of tongue and groove planks - these can be clicked into one another. Installed laminate floors typically "float" over the sub-floor on top of a foam/film underlayment, which provides moisture and sound-reducing properties. A small (1-10mm) gap is required between the flooring and any immovable object such as walls, this allows the flooring to expand without being obstructed. Baseboards (skirting boards) can be removed and then reinstalled before and after laying of the flooring is complete for a neater finish, or small beading trims can be fitted to the baseboards (skirting boards). Saw cuts on the planks are usually required at edges, and around closet and door entrances.
Care It is important to keep laminate clean, as dust, dirt and sand particles may scratch the decorative surface over time in high-traffic areas. It is also important to keep laminate relatively dry, since sitting water/moisture can cause the planks to swell, warp, etc, though some brands are equipped with water-resistant coatings. Water spills aren't a problem if they're wiped up quickly, and not allowed to sit for a prolonged period of time. Adhesive felt pads are often placed on the feet of furniture on laminate floors to prevent scratching. Inferior glueless laminate floors may gradually become separated, creating visible gaps between planks. It is important to "tap" the planks back together using the appropriate tool as you notice the gaps, otherwise dirt will fill the gaps making it difficult to close them later. Quality glueless laminate floors (Pergo and Uniclic) use joining mechanisms which hold the planks together under constant tension which prevent dirt entering the joints and do not need "tapping" back together periodically.
History Laminate flooring was invented in 1977 by the Swedish company Perstop, and sold under the brand name Pergo. They had been making laminate surfaces since 1923. The company first marketed its product to Europe in 1984, and later to the United States in 1994. Perstop spun off its flooring division as the separate company named Pergo. Pergo is the most widely known laminate flooring manufacturer, but the trademark PERGO is not synonymous for all laminate floors. Glueless laminate flooring was invented by Belgian company Unilin in 1997. The "unilin" locking system or variants of it which are still covered by the Unilin patent are used worldwide. However in 1996 a Swedish company called Valinge also invented a glueless locking system sold under the names Alloc and Fiboloc for holding flooring panels together. Initially the two companies tried to sue each other at great expense without any clear winner, for rights to the intellectual property which also involved a lot of the smaller competition in the process. Now the two locking systems co-exist and all glueless locking flooring is made under licence from either Unilin, Valinge or sometimes both. The Unilin locking system is marketed under the name Uniclic and is adopted by Pergo. The above information was supplied by Wikipedia.

Solid hardwood floors come in a wide range of dimensions and styles, with each plank made of solid wood and milled from a single piece of timber. Solid hardwood floors were originally used for structural purposes, being installed perpendicular to the wooden support beams of a building. Modern construction techniques now rarely use wood building frames and solid hardwood floors are used almost exclusively for their appearance. For flooring, solid wood has many limitations due to the natural characteristics of wood. Expansion and contraction of wood from moisture and temperature fluctuation puts many dimensional restrictions on solid wood floors. Typically, 5" wide and 3/4" thick boards are the largest that can be manufactured from solid wood without compromising the structure of the flooring (some manufacturers produce wider boards using proprietary milling techniques). There is, however, no standard size which will perform well in every environment. For contemporary construction techniques, the most significant characteristic of solid wood floors is that they are not recommended to be installed directly over concrete.

Engineered wood flooring is composed of two or more layers of wood in the form of a plank. The top layer (lamella) is the wood that is visible when the flooring is installed, and is adhered to the core (or substrate) which provides the stability. Laminate, vinyl and veneer floors are often confused with engineered wood floors - laminate uses an image of wood on its surface, vinyl is plastic formed to look like wood, and veneer uses a thin layer of wood with a core that could be one of a number of different composite wood products (most commonly, high density fibreboard). Engineered wood is the most common type of wood flooring used globally. North America is the only continent that has a larger solid wood market than engineered, although engineered wood is quickly catching up in market share. A subcategory of engineered wood flooring is acrylic impregnated wood flooring. This product utilizes a real wood veneer that is impregnated with liquid acrylic and then hardened using a special process. Non impregnated Northern Red Oak typically tests at 1,290 on the Janka hardness scale and acrylic impregnated Northern Red Oak typically tests at 2,286 and 4,786 on the Janka hardness scale . Acrylic impregnated engineered wood flooring is normally used in high traffic interior spaces that require a high level of dent and wear resistance.
Comparison of solid wood and engineered wood
It is very difficult to compare a solid wood floor to engineered wood floors, as there is a wide range of engineered wood floor qualities. There are several limitations on solid hardwood that give it a more limited scope of use: solid wood should not be installed directly over concrete, should not be installed below grade (basements) and it should not be used with radiant floor heating. Solid hardwood is also typically limited in plank width and is more prone to "gapping" (excessive space between planks) and "cupping" (a concave or "dished" appearance of the plank, with the height of the plank along its longer edges being higher than the centre) with increased plank size. Solid wood products, on average, have a slightly thicker 'sandable area' (the wood that is above the tongue), and can be installed using nails. Lastly, solid wood tends to be less expensive than engineered wood, but this, as with the 'sandable area,' depends on the quality of the engineered wood (most inexpensive engineered wood products are 'veneer' wood floors, and not 'engineered'). In many installations, however, engineered flooring can only withstand a limited number of sandings, versus solid wood, which can be sanded many times. The installation costs of engineered flooring are typically lower than solid flooring. Engineered wood flooring has several benefits over solid wood, beyond dimensional stability and universal use. Patented installation systems (such as "unilin" or "fiboloc") allow for faster installation and easy replacement of boards. Engineered wood also allows a 'floating' installation (where the planks are not fastened to the floor below or to each other), further increasing ease of repair and reducing installation time. In general engineered wood panels are longer and wider than solid planks. The top surface of solid and engineered flooring, have the same properties of hardness and durability. The development of "structural" engineered flooring now means engineered floors (often with 1/4 inch lamellas and birch ply backing)can be nailed directly over joists without the need for plywood sub-flooring. The above information was supplied by Wikipedia.

Ceramic Tile Underlayments
Schluter-DITRA-XL is a polyethylene membrane with a grid structure of square cavities, each cut back in a dovetail configuration, and an anchoring fleece laminated to its underside. Schluter-DITRA is bonded to the substrate using thin-set mortar. The anchoring fleece on the underside of Schluter-DITRA-XL is engaged in the mortar to provide a mechanical bond to the substrate. Tile is installed over Schluter-DITRA-XL using the thin-bed method in such a way that the mortar becomes mechanically anchored in the square, cutback cavities of the Schluter-DITRA-XL matting.
Designed specifically for ceramic tile and dimension stone installations, Schluter-DITRA-XL serves as an uncoupling layer, waterproofing membrane, and vapor management layer that accommodates moisture from beneath the tile covering. Further, DITRA-XL performs all these functions while still providing adequate support/load distribution for the tile covering.
a) Uncoupling
Tile has been successfully installed for thousands of years by incorporating an uncoupling layer, or forgiving shear interface, within the tile assembly. Schluter-DITRA-XL provides uncoupling through its open rib structure, which allows for in-plane movement that effectively neutralizes the differential movement stresses between the substrate and the tile, thus eliminating the major cause of cracking and delaminating of the tiled surface.
b) Waterproofing
Schluter-DITRA-XL provides reliable waterproofing in interior and exterior applications. Its polyethylene composition protects the substrate from moisture penetration, which is particularly important in today's building environment where most substrates are moisture sensitive.
c) Vapor management
The distinguishing feature of Schluter-DITRA-XL is the existence of free space created by the configured channels on the underside of the matting. The free space provides a route for excess moisture and vapor to escape from the substrate that could otherwise cause damage to the tile layer above. Thus, DITRA-XL effectively manages moisture beneath the tile covering.
d) Support/load distribution
When placed on a solid foundation, columns or pillars can support tremendous loads. The same physical principle applies to Schluter-DITRA-XL installations. Columnlike mortar structures are formed in the cutback cavities of the matting. Loads are transferred from the tile covering through these column-like mortar structures to the substrate. Since DITRA-XL is virtually incompressible within the tile assembly, the advantages of uncoupling are achieved without sacrificing point load distribution capabilities. The ability of DITRA-XL installations to support and distribute heavy loads while preserving the integrity of the tiled surface has been verified through extensive laboratory and field testing.
We also carry the regular Ditra product. If you are unsure about this new way of doing things, ask one of our sales specialists. We also have videos on CD that can help you. This product can also be viewed on the Schluter Corporate Website.

|Protecting your night vision
Submitted by:
Scott Buhrmaster, PoliceOne Managing Editor
A sudden blast of bright light after a period of time in a low-light setting - like the interior of your patrol unit - can negatively impact your night vision. If your interior dome light floods the cab with bright, white light think about muting the illumination. Creative ways to do that include replacing the unshaded cover with a red or amber one, replacing your white bulb with a tinted one, painting the interior of your existing cover with heat-resistant paint or covering the dome with heat-resistant colored tape.
Scott Buhrmaster is a longtime contributor to PoliceOne.com, as well as former Publisher of Police Marksman magazine. He has also served as Contributing Editor for Law Officer magazine. Scott has been a member of the law enforcement training community since 1989, when he began work as Director of Research with Calibre Press, Inc., producers of The Street Survival Seminar.

RENO -- San Francisco Giants' second baseman Freddy Sanchez is reportedly headed to Reno.
Sanchez is rehabbing his shoulder with the Fresno Grizzlies and will play with the team for its final five games - including a four game road trip in Reno - according an interview on Comcast Sports Net.
The Giants placed Sanchez on the disabled list last Tuesday.
He has hit .304 with a home run and five RBI in 13 games since coming over in a trade from Pittsburgh.

Last week, LeSean McCoy took a shot at Giants defensive lineman Osi Umenyiora, tweeting that Osi was "overrated n soft" and that he was the "3rd best d-line[man]" on New York's roster.
Naturally, this went over really well with Osi, who fired back at McCoy calling him a girl, a "Twitter gangster" and "Chihuahua.".
After that, the feud seemed to simmer a bit. Fortunately, Justin Tuck decided to ramp it back up today.
"Well, two things, yes we will take that personally," Tuck said to ESPN's Mike and Mike on Wednesday. "And two, he might want to watch some film before he starts talking about a defensive end of Osi's quality. I don't know where he would say something of that nature. Obviously Osi's stats back up the fact that he is a pretty good NFL football player."
The good news is that such back-and-forth can only lead to more on-field hatred between the Eagles and the Giants. (This is good as long as it doesn't lead to any actual, illegal violence -- rivalries are always beneficial for the game of football.)
The bad news is that Osi's apparently going to hold out once the lockout ends until he gets a new contract, which probably won't give him a whole lot of street cred.
And, considering he's a named plaintiff on the players' antitrust suit, such a dispute isn't necessarily going to just disappear amicably. Fortunately, though, Tuck had some more words for McCoy himself.
"I honestly think social media has made people cowards," Tuck said. "Where I'm from, if you had a problem with somebody, you said it to their face. I think now people are hiding behind computers and smart phones to get out something they got on their chest where I'm used to having a problem with a person, you go tell it to their face. You don't go blast it out so everybody in the world can see about it."
So, hey, there's always a shot he and McCoy can just duel it out when the two teams go head-to-head next year.

Auburn quarterback Cam Newton celebrates Saturday after a 49-31 victory over Georgia at Jordan-Hare Stadium.
- Filed Under
AUBURN -- The Auburn football team didn't want the celebration to end too quickly on Saturday.
A half hour after Auburn's 49-31 win over Georgia, the majority of the Tigers stayed on the field at Jordan-Hare Stadium to revel with the crowd, band, students, etc., on what this team has accomplished.
The second-ranked Tigers (11-0, 7-0 in the Southeastern Conference) beat the Bulldogs for the first time in five years and wrapped up the school's first Western Division title since 2004. ...

This stAIR design plan sounds very interesting. I believe that using it for Genetics will show students the social networking can be used in another way other than socialization. Like I commented in the lesson plan, I would be aware of being sure that students are actually using it for educational purposes.I have worked with Moodle before and I think it is a great program to create a lesson in. It allows for visuals, audio, video and is presented in an easy to use format which helps students of all learning disabilities. I would really like to see this design plan in action!Technical Remarks:No stAIR available

The concept of this lesson is good in theroy, but I fear that the way the lesson plan is implemented does not address the goal of the lesson. The problem is that students are using Facebook, and other social networking sites illegally during class time. So the idea of showing student how these sites can be used in an educational setting is great. It seems as though the lesson shows how the sites can be used to research a topic, but not really on how it should not be used during school. I understand that it is addressed in discussion, but in order to prevent the use, you must address it more in depth. Another concern is if students are not affiliated with Facebook or social networking tools, will this lesson introduce them in a positive way to social networking? Or just introducing a bad behavior? Also students with different learning styles or learning disabilities may have a difficult time with this lesson. Assistive technologies are necessary for a least restrictive environment class. Having the system administrator or network administrator block such social networking sites may be a better option for addressing this problem. I know after this lesson, my students would claim they were using the sites for educational purposes if they are ever caught on it. I feel that it is just giving them and excuse.

This stAIR is a great resource for teaching students the difference between inferences and judgments in literature. I felt that the images helped visual learners to stay engaged in the lesson. Using a few more examples of what inferences and judgments might help to have student really grasp the content and definitions of what they are. Overall I think that this is a great lesson for a short introduction to inferences and judgments in literature.One modification that I would implement would be assistive technologies for students with different learning styles and abilities. An example may be text to voice options so students with visual impairments or lower reading levels can learn as well.I found some technical issues in this lesson when I choose the wrong answer. The action button to send me back to review material did not work, making it quite impossible to continue the lesson properly. I had to completely start over again. Also the red text was difficult to see and I strained to read it. This may be a problem for students who have visual impairments, along with all other students.I liked the concept of having a final review slide to wrap up the information learned in the stAIR. However, I was unsure if it was actually the end of the lesson. Possible including some sort of visual to indicate that the lesson is complete would be helpful. Including some inductive reasoning may be helpful to model to students what they are specifically looking for, and to define and model what inferences and judgments are. The only pedagogical strategies I found were deductive. This may be difficult for all students to comprehend. Adding inductive reasoning or even scaffolding might enhance the lesson to reach all students. Overall a great lesson for a quick intro to the concept, great job!Technical Remarks:The back button when getting a wrong answer did not work for me, thus making me completely start the lesson over if I got an answer wrong.

This lesson plan has great incorporation of face to face instructional strategies and technology integration. By having students read and discuss the primary source in and out of the classroom allows for a deeper understanding of the information. It also allows students of various skill levels to think and reflect on material and then are given the chance to respond. The use of inductive and deductive reasoning is a good way to build students knowledge about Human rights. Possibly adding more historical background and/or other examples of genocide might be helpful for students to understand why the Cambodian genocide was a specific violation of the UN's Declaration of Human Rights. Also giving a full background to why the UN declared these Human Rights might help students to contextualize the material. Also providing the Declaration of Human Rights in Plain Language (which makes it easier for students to understand) might be helpful for students of different reading levels to comprehend the declaration easier.Also adding images will help visual learners to understand what genocide really looks like.Assistive technologies are missing from the lesson plan, including text to voice capabilities. I think a lesson or previous use of wiki's is a must prior to using this lesson. That way students will understand the technology they are using to discuss the topic. You may also want to model how to write proper discussions on your wiki page before letting students just begin. This way, students can use the model discussion while writing their own.Overall, I think using the Face to Face strategies along with technology (wikis) to continue the discussion is great for students. Well done.

This tutorial is a great way to just skim the surface of what Microsoft Word has to offer as a word processing application. It overview the basic functions of the program and then has students navigate the Word window and start up functions, and then finally have students learn how to type a Memo in the program. This lesson does not however even begin to show all the possibilities of the program, and I wonder if Microsoft has not already created a more inclusive and more comprehensive tutorial on how to use Word already. One issue that I found was that I had to install Live Web to start, yet there was not explanation to why this was necessary, and my computer that is issued by my school district, did not allow me to, or strongly recommended that I do not download. Thus, I did not end up downloading it, because I had no reason that I felt that it was necessary to do. An explanation to why this is needed for the tutorial would be a great addition. Also I found that the slide titled "Exploring the Word Program Window" was blank and had no action button to continue with the tutorial. I had to escape out of the program after that and only view the slides in the editing screen in PowerPoint. If it is not created as a show, then students or anyone else will be allowed to manipulate the lesson and change what you have created. Also, by only referring to the topic of study as "Word" I have to wonder if not mentioning Microsoft or some other copyright reference may be infringing on trademarks. This would be something I would look into. I did enjoy how after the information was delivered, that it was immediately reviewed, this checks for understanding right away. I also like how there was sound and pictures added to the show for visual and auditory learners and also students who need assistive technologies. I am unsure of what age group or what the target audience is for this lesson. I feel clarification of why they would need to know these few specific skills in Word would be a great addition in the beginning of the lesson. I also could not access the review game that was included, because of the broken link in the "Exploring the Word Program Window". This would be something that I would like to explore to see what was reviewed, if it was covered in the lesson.Technical Remarks:״Exploring the Word Program Window" slide did not have an action button that was usable, this prevented me from continuting on with the rest of the lesson and being able to access the Review game.Also having to download "Live Web" was very unclear

I think that this lesson plan is a great idea to introduce proper email etiquette to students. However I think that the age range (9-12) grade may be too late to have this lesson plan. I would modify the intended age to middle school or younger. I think that High School students already have an email address that they use regularly, and might not take this lesson as seriously. I think it is a great idea though to teach students how to be responsible internet users now and in the future.I like how it uses inductive and deductive reasoning with the students by showing them proper email addresses, and then showing them examples of inappropriate addresses and then having students share and reflect on what they have decided on as an appropriate email.One way I would modify this lesson plan would be to incorporate assistive technology for students who are at different skill levels. Also voice to text availability would be a good addition as well.Using a Google Doc may be a problem for some students who have never worked with this application before. I would be sure to have students work with Google Docs prior to this lesson, so they understand how to contribute to the document.I also would possibly have students investigate on their own time parents or other adults email addresses so they can share what they find with class members. This way they will be thinking about the lesson prior to actually participating before class.Also having students have to write professional email from their new address related to the content they are learning in class might be a good way for students to actually practice their skills in the real world. For example, if you are teaching students about being professional, maybe they could inquire about a school or university they are interested in. Or in a Social Studies class, students could email a state representative or congress member.
