The Clearinghouse collects all types of materials at the National Repository in Columbus, Ohio, at The Ohio State University. ENC makes information available about all of these resources in several ways. For example, this print catalog is one of a series that highlights specific topics and resources in math and science. All of ENC's resources in combination will provide comprehensive information for teachers, parents, and students on a variety of topics, including family involvement in education. ENC Online ENC Online has links to exemplary science and math Internet sites through the Digital Dozen, selected monthly, classroom links, and other educational resources. Some Internet sites are available with information about involving families in educa- tion. You can find them in two ways: search Resource Finder, or browse through the links on ENC Online. If you have time to browse, you will find all kinds of things you might be able to use in your classroom. ENC Online also links to some ofthe full-text articles featured on ENC CDs. ENC CD-ROMs - ENC's CD-ROMs have a variety of previously published documents in electronic format about curricUlurri issues in math and science education, as well as resources developed by ENC to meet educators' needs. These documents cover curriculum standards and implementation, and include the complete 1989 NCTM Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics. TIMSS (Third International Math and Science Study) and Equity are the topics of the two newest ENC CDs. The content of these discs is available online; for the TIMSS materials, go to http://timss.enc.org/, and you can go to http://equity.enc.org/ for the equity resources. ENC Demonstration Sites and Access Centers Located throughout the country are 12 Demonstration Sites that can be found at, or work in conjunction with, the 10 Eisenhower Regional Consortia, at the Capital Collection & Demonstration Site at The George Washington University in Washington, DC, and at ENC.

  • Facts & Statistics About the Project
    1 Hubble’s 15th Anniversary – Facts about the ESA project Introduction 24 April 2005 marked the 15th anniversary of the launch of the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. As an observatory in space, Hubble is a major project that has made an enormous impact both in terms of scientific output and in its immediate public appeal. Hubble has exploited its unique scientific capabilities in regions where no other instruments can compete. The telescope consistently delivers super-sharp images and clean, uncontaminated spectra over the entire near-infrared to ultraviolet regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. This has opened up new scientific territory and has resulted in many paradigm-breaking discoveries. Exquisite quality images have enabled astronomers to gain entirely new insights into the workings of a huge range of different astronomical objects. Hubble has provided a visual overview of the underlying astrophysical processes taking place in these objects, ranging from planets in our Solar System to galaxies in the young Universe. The renowned British astronomer Malcolm Longair writes in the preface to ESA’s anniversary book: ”The Hubble Space Telescope has undoubtedly had a greater public impact than any other space astronomy mission ever. The images included in this beautiful volume are quite staggering in the detail they reveal about the Universe we live in and have already become part of our common scientific and cultural heritage.” The project Many people agree that the long-term well-being and cultural development of European citizens depends on research and technological development. Information about science and scientists is a vital component of the scientific process, but the competition for attention in today’s mass-media market is fierce.

    ILL INOI S UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS AT URBANA-CHAMPAIGN PRODUCTION NOTE University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Library Large-scale Digitization Project, 2007. Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books T H E UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO * GADI)UATE LIBRARY SCHOOL Volume XVI December, 1962 Number 4 New Titles for Children and Young People R Alderman, Clifford Lindsey. Samuel Adams, Son of Liberty. Holt, 1961. 7-10 19 9p. $3.50. An excellent biography and a very good account of the events leading up to the Amer- ican Revolution; the years of the war itself and the remaining years of Adams' life are outlined rather briefly at the close of the book. The writing style is good, but the chief asset of the book is the candid appraisal of men and their motives. It is rare, for example, to read in a book for young people that (without denigrating his other and more patriotic motives) John Hancock was making a profit from sales of contraband Dutch tea, and therefore was indignant at the customs duty on English tea. An exten- sive bibliography and an index are appended. Ad Allan, Mabel Esther. Romance in Italy. Vanguard, 1962. 192p. $3. 7-9 Jane has always longed to travel, and she is overjoyed at the offer of a travel agency job in Genoa, particularly since her mother was born there. Cast off by her father be- cause she had married an Englishman, Jane's mother extracts a promise that her daughter will never divulge the relationship. In Genoa, Jane becomes involved with her relations and falls in love with Andrea, an adopted son of the family; when her grandfather dies, matters come to a head: her mother comes to Genoa in response to a letter of confession, and Jane and Andrea decide they will marry in another year.

  • IHY Book.Pdf
    Preface Putting the “I” in IHY This book is about international cooperation. It demonstrates how the power of scientific imagination and investigation can bring together people form all continents in almost all countries around the globe. In presenting this impressive result, we can understand, how much unifying force the quest for understanding our universe and using outer space for that purpose have. Astronomy is far away from being a “political” area of science. But is has enormous political effects – and all of these effects are positive. This book about the international aspects and achievements of the “International Heliophysical Year (IHY) 2007” can be regarded as a compendium of the fertile impacts of conducting research in this field. The main focus, as the title implicates, is the international cooperation, which has emerged from this grassroots initiative. North and South, industrialized and developing countries have been coordinating their efforts and have been learning from each other in a mutual partnership under a joint understanding of sharing the scientific benefits. Through this, trans-border networks have been created and scientific as well as cultural exchange took place. Another focus of the book shows, how much astronomy contributes to the basis of knowledge society as todays concept for mastering the future. Astronomy has been and will be attracting large numbers of young people to enter an education and career in science and engineering. Such attractions we desperately need in all countries around the world, and we have to be glad about initiatives like IHY, which are successful in raising awareness, interest and fascination. This book is therefore particularly well placed in the series “Studies in Space Policy”, since it highlights the policy needs for space education as well as international cooperation in a most dedicated and convincing way.

    VIMM Thematic Area 2: Directions Working Group 2.3: Future in Mind The chairwoman WG 2.3: Francesca Guerrera The experts WG 2.3 are: Ez Yuan, Ghislaine Boddington, Petja Janžekovič, Aleksandra Kostič, Tadej Vindiš, Jasper Ceelen, Bram Elewaut, Andre Selton, Marco Streefkerk Abstract The Working Group 2.3 Future in Mind of the VIMM Thematic Area 2-Directions has provided the outcome of work: a vast list of 41 best practices and state of the art examples of platform, collaborative projects and business models in order to gain sustainability used in CH VR/AR. It included an analysis of some bad practices and examples too. Introduction WG2.3 has focused on the following topics: ● platforms ● collaborative projects ● business models The outcome of the work includes a vast list of best practices and state of the art examples of sustainability used in CH VR/AR. Even though far fewer posts were written about the future, we do feel this subject is of paramount importance if we want to work on future-proof solutions and advice for legislation that can be applied for longer than a few years. Challenging questions: ● How can cultural heritage collaborate with existing technological platforms, models and already implemented solutions? ● How we can create digital solutions that are ready to use and future-proof? ● What options are for collaboration between CH organizations (and other ones?) ● Are there any privacy issues? ● Business models of digital technologies in general ● Find options to make VR more sustainable ● Find options for collaboration between CH and tourism, hospitality by using VR ● Could a museum copy a new business model? ● Can any place become Virtual Museum? ● What can museums learn by looking to the startup community? ● How can technology be financed? How to create a "benefits plan"? ● Do we make VR for specific target groups or all target groups and how? ● What is next for collaborative sharespaces? Platforms, collaborative projects, business models (41 cases) 1.
