This literature review looks at the impacts of game-based learning in the classroom, specifically how it impacts student engagement and student achievement. 

This literature review explores the use of technology and the pedagogy behind implementing digital portfolios.

In this paper I have researched the application of game based learning in the classroom. Game based learning is a concept that is designed to target various learning styles through interactive activities. This review will analyze how game based learning can be incorporated into the classroom and the appropriate games to be used based on grade level and academic content. This review also analyzes the support and skills educators need in order to implement game based learning into the classroom and determine the impact game based learning has on a child’s understanding of new concepts and skills and the effectiveness of using game based learning in the classroom. This review covers the importance of game based learning for student comprehension growth and include studies on the effectiveness of implementing game based learning in any grade level classroom. I have research specifically MinecraftEDU and how it can be used as a teaching application in game based learning.

The stories in Living Proof are intended to provide support and inspiration for mathematics students experiencing struggle and despair. If students keep working, if they keep seeking, they’ll be rewarded by serendipity, which is really just, as these stories remind us, the habit of mind to be engaged and to notice when something good has happened.

Students are given a brief scenario based on an actual event, designed to illustrate specific ethical issues associated with science. After reading the scenario students, will individually and in cooperative learning groups, respond to questions designed to probe their ethics and values. In this scenario, sinkhole development and the relationship between groundwater levels and karst geology are examined. Knowledge is then applied to a lawsuit filed by a family who lost a member in a sinkhole accident.

This activity introduces students to the interdisciplinary field of geoarchaeology through a case study of the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 CE. It combines short lectures with questions requiring analyses of a variety of data sets relating to volcanic hazards. It requires no background in geoscience or archaeology and is aimed at students from both the physical sciences and the humanities, from high school through freshman year.

As ice retreats and energy resources along Alaska's North Slope become more accessible, diverse stakeholders consider potential futures and develop a science-informed view of the implications of development in the region.

Los libros de no ficción tienen un gran potencial educativo pues produce en el alumnado un placer por la lectura y por otra parte, un enriquecimiento de contenidos didácticos. En este sentido para que el alumno pueda acercarse a este tipo de libros, el docente deberá busca dentro de la era digital recursos para promocionar la lectura como puede ser el book-trailer. Por lo tanto, la finalidad de este artículo es crear una propuesta didáctica para sexto de Educación Primaria donde a través del aprendizaje basado en proyecto se trabaje un libro de no ficción –El gran libro de los bichos­– y por consiguiente, la creación de un book-trailer para acercar al alumnado los libros de no ficción

Guest lecture with Professor David S. Jones, Harvard, held at IGS, University of Bergen, January 25, 2019. Organized with support from the research group Health-, welfare and history of science, AHKR. Abstract: Coronary artery disease became the leading cause of death worldwide in the twentieth century. In the 1950s, however, CAD mortality began to fall, first in California, and then throughout the United States and in other high income countries from New Zealand to Norway. Mortality rates fell 50 percent in many countries, one of the great accomplishments of modern public health and medicine. In the 1990s, however, disease surveillance programs began to detect signs that the decline of CAD had slowed or plateaued. In some populations the decline has reversed. Life expectancy in the United States has now decreased for the first time in over a century. Health officials similarly fear an impending epidemic of dementia, despite evidence that the incidence of that disease has recently begun to decline. How should these public health fears be assessed? How should health policy priorities be set? I will trace the history of disease decline and resurgence to identify patterns in how public health officials create data and craft them into powerful narratives of progress or pessimism. This perspective can help us to interpret the narratives that circulate today. About the lecturer: Trained in psychiatry and history of science, David Jones is the Ackerman Professor of the Culture of Medicine at Harvard University. His research has focused on the causes and meanings of health inequalities (Rationalizing Epidemics: Meanings and Uses of American Indian Mortality since 1600) and the history of decision making in cardiac therapeutics (Broken Hearts: The Tangled History of Cardiac Care, 2013). He is currently at work on three other histories, of the evolution of coronary artery surgery, of heart disease and cardiac therapeutics in India, and of the threat of air pollution to health. His teaching at Harvard College and Harvard Medical School explores the history of medicine, medical ethics, and social medicine.

This website provides a resource for the heritability of all human traits that have been investigated with the classical twin design. The traits have been classified into 28 broad trait domains, as well as according to the standard classification schemes of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) or the International Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD-10). Currently the database includes information from 2748 papers, published between 1958 and 2012, reporting on 17804 traits on a total of 14,558,903 twin pairs. Have Fun!
