In this class we will examine how the idea of the city has been “translated” by artists, architects, and other diverse disciplines. We will consider how collaborations between artists and architects might provide opportunities for rethinking / redesigning urban spaces. The class will look specifically at planned cities like Brasilia, Las Vegas, Canberra, and Celebration and compare such tabula rasa designs with the redesign of recyclable urban spaces demonstrated in projects such as Ground Zero, Barcelona 2004, and Boston’s Rose Kennedy Greenway. While the course will involve some reading and discussion, coursework will focus largely on the students’ own projects / interventions that should evolve over the course of the semester.  Of the two weekly class meetings, one will be a group discussion or lecture with the whole class and visiting guests, and the other will be an individual meeting between the student and the instructor to discuss his or her work for the class, including the final project.

In diesem Video möchte ich euch die Cäsar Verschlüsselung zeigen und auch eine kleine Implementation davon demonstrieren. Die Caesar-Verschlüsselung ist ein einfaches symmetrisches Verschlüsselungsverfahren, welches sich von dem römischen Feldherrn Gaius Julius Caesar ableitet, der nach der Überlieferung diese Art der geheimen Kommunikation für seine militärische Korrespondenz verwendet hat.

Why is it important that students be careful what is posted for everyone to see? Students will investigate and discuss these questions during this module that directly relate to their daily life. Students will work cooperatively in groups to design an infomercial to be presented to elementary students and/or parents and community members. Key Learning Targets: I can use technology to produce and publish my work, and link to sources.I can include multimedia projects or visual displays when they will be helpful in clarifying and emphasizing information.I can actively participate and contribute to a discussion with my teacher and my peers. I can present my findings to a group or audience in a clear and concise way.I can create a storyboard to prepare a public service announcement. I can compare contrast trends of technology. I can write an explanatory paragraph to examine a topic (present and future digital footprint).

We use game theoretic models to take an in-depth look at the dynamics of discrimination and academic collaboration. We find that in collaboration networks, small minority groups may be more likely to end up being discriminated against while collaborating. We also find that discrimination can lead members of different social groups to mostly collaborate with in-group members, decreasing the effective diversity of the social network. Drawing on previous work, we discuss how decreases in the diversity of scientific collaborations might negatively impact the progress of epistemic communities.

In this problem-based learning module, students will explore the importance of sleep and the impact sleep has on their lives.  During the launch phase students can choose to record sleep data via downloaded apps or in a sleep diary.  Days 2 through 4 have students explore the concept and necessity of living organisms need to sleep. On day 2 the participants will take a series of cognitive test for baseline data.  Through station rotation and a jigsaw activity learners will become familiar with circadian rhythm and sleeping disorders. Finally, days 5-7 have the students produce a video or infographic to communicate the importance of sleep and its relationship to performance both physically and academically.

This Super Lesson utilizes Project Based Learning to assist learners with designing, building, and testing flying contraptions as an introduction to Engineering. The goal of this project is to engage students in collaborative team work and to introduce students to the Science and Engineering Practices: Asking Questions and Defining Problems, Planning and Carrying Out Investigations, and Constructing Explanations and Designing Solutions.

We have offered this Super Lesson as an 8-week elective course, developing and strengthening student interest in applied Math and Science topics. It could also be offered within upper elementary or middle school Science and Math courses. In addition, each week’s topic could be used as a stand alone mini-lesson if time is limited. We have worked to include multiple options within this unit to make it accessible to both general education and special education programs, including recommendations for modifications and extensions.

In this problem-based learning module, students will work together collaboratively to establish questions and develop these questions into claims after being presented with the problem “How are today’s living standards contributing to the drug resistance disease crisis and what needs to be done to begin to reverse the effects of the contributing factors?”  The students will then work collaboratively to continue researching and will use the research to create a collaborative electronic public service announcement to go along with an individually written letter which will be sent to either a state representative, the FDA, lead community personnel, etc. Both products, the PSA and the letter will include their well defined claim, supported with evidence and backed up with reasoning.Prior to beginning module, please note: Module can be completed in isolation, or can be completed in conjunction with modules "Antibiotic Resistance and Antibiotic Policy" (science) and/or Advancing Change through Public Awareness (social studies) as part of a full interdisciplinary unit between 8th grade social studies, language arts and science.  This would allow for students to have a wider array of questions to guide their claims and the students could build the PSA in social studies and write the letter in Language Arts.

In diesem kleinen Video möchte ich euch ein paar Tipps und Tricks in und über Eclipse zeigen, weil ihr damit wesentlich schneller und effizienter programmieren könnt. Dabei gehe ich insbesondere auf das automatische erstellen von Gettern/Settern und Konstruktoren ein. Zudem sehen wir, wie wir Methoden extrahieren können.

n diesem kleinen Video möchte ich euch zeigen, wie ihr eine Datei mit Java verschieben könnt.

In dem letzten Video unserer Serie zeigen wir Euch, wir Ihr über die Java Dokumentation Funktionen und Klassen nachschlagen könnt.

Vorstellung von uns und BlueJ

Hello World und was sind Variablen?

Wir haben im 2. Kapitel einen Fehler mit den Datentypen gemacht, welchen wir in diesem Video berichtigen wollen.

Einführung in Java mit BlueJ - Kapitel 3: Hello World als Funktion und eigene Dokumentation

In diesem Video zeigen wir euch die in Java verfügbaren mathematischen Operatoren, und wie man sie benutzen kann.

Heute bringen wir euch ein Grundkonzept der modernen Programmiersprachen, die Objektorientierte Programmierung näher.

In diesem Tutorial setzen wir das grundlegende Schema aus dem ersten Video in Java-Code um und zeigen, was Hashes sind.
