Where did we come from? What causes change? Where are we heading? Big History takes on these questions that originate with the dawn of time, and gives students a framework to tell the story of humanity’s place in the Universe. It’s more than a history course. Big History helps students see the overall picture and make sense of the pieces: it looks at the past from the Big Bang to modernity, seeking out common themes and patterns that can help us better understand people, civilizations, and the world we live in. Big History arose from a desire to transcend traditional self-contained fields of study and grasp history as a whole, looking for linked ideas and connections across history’s entire spectrum. By teaching students to explore these connections, and to effectively question, analyze and postulate, it provides a foundation for thinking not only about the past, but also the future and the changes that are reshaping our world. The Big History Project represents a strong collaboration between teachers, university faculty and technical professionals. Built from the ground up to support the Common Core and best practices from classrooms around the world, the course includes a rich and comprehensive set of videos, readings, infographics, and classroom activities for students and teachers. Throughout, students encounter challenging ideas and questions and learn to connect ideas across 13.8 billion years of time and an array of disciplines. The course asks students to thoughtfully and rigorously engage with the claims they encounter along the way. Big History is a free online set of course materials. These materials will always be free. All we ask of teachers is to share what they have learned so we can continually make the course better. The best ideas within the course have always come from the teachers that teach it. Here’s what teachers have said about teaching Big History for the first time—we look forward to hearing about your experience! Big History requires students to examine big questions: • How has the Universe and life within it grown more complex over the past 13.8 billion years? • How do we know what we know about the past? • How can we judge claims about the past? • Why does what we “know” change over time? • How does what happened during the early days of the Universe, the Solar System, and the Earth shape what we are experiencing today? Students get to participate in the important and exciting work of exploring, developing, and testing big answers.

The Big History Project is an interdisciplinary study of change over time from the Big Bang to the future, but at its core, it is a history course. To that end, Big History is designed as a ninth- to tenth-grade history course (for 14-15 year old students). Students will still achieve many of the same outcomes of a high school world history course. Many schools teach Big History in place of world history, world geography or as an elective course in the history department. Some middle schools have offered Big History, simplifying some of the most complex readings. Big History is also used as a capstone course for high school seniors, as there are infinite opportunities for students to delve deeply into complex topics across a range of subjects. Although Big History is designed as a full-year course, some schools will teach it in a single semester, skipping some of the Investigations or the project-based learning (PBL) activities. The Big History Project (BHP) is a technology-based course, but it is not a self-taught course. BHP assumes a teacher is available to discuss content with students, and to evaluate student work. The course relies heavily on a series of videos, including talks from Big History founder David Christian and other noted scholars. While the various articles and graphic content may be printed and shared in hard copy, it would be very difficult to teach BHP without showing the videos. At the same time, the Big History Project does not require every student to have a computer in the classroom. Many schools teach Big History by showing the videos in class and distributing hard copies of readings for use at home. Microscopic to the cosmic BIG HISTORY PROJECT / SY 2016-17 / TEACHING GUIDE 5 TEACHER MATERIALS Course Themes The Big History course focuses on three essential skills and three key concepts that we want students to master. The essential skills are: thinking across scales, integrating multiple disciplines, and making and testing claims. The core concepts are: thresholds, collective learning, and origin stories. Essential Skills Thinking across scales • Big History encourages students to think across scales, from the massive expanse of the Universe to the smallest of atoms. • Students need to think across scale in terms of both time and distance. This helps us to frame our experience at the level of the personal, family, community, national human and geologic experience. Notations and Measures infographic Integrating multiple disciplines • Big History encourages the use of interdisciplinary thinking and methodologies. Students should integrate the insights of multiple disciplines when analyzing and drawing conclusions about historical information, including social, physical, and natural sciences. • Students should become aware of a range of scholarly disciplines and understand the types of questions they ask, the types of conclusions that they draw, and the types of evidence they use to support their findings. Making and testing claims • Big History encourages students to develop a thoughtful, consistent, and rigorous approach to testing new ideas and information. • Students should apply these techniques in their writing and other academic discourse. BIG HISTORY PROJECT / SY 2016-17 / TEACHING GUIDE 6 TEACHER MATERIALS Core Concepts Thresholds • Big History looks at the Universe as a series of moments called thresholds. These moments are characterized by a set of ingredients and just-right ‘Goldilocks Conditions’ that result in new forms of complexity. Big History tells the story of the Universe by using these moments to describe Universal change. • The use of thresholds is unique to Big History, but it provides a helpful means of analysis that can be applied to more traditional historical contexts and other disciplines. Collective learning • Collective learning is the human ability to share, preserve, and build knowledge over time. In Big History, this is the defining characteristic that separates humans from other species. Origin stories • There are numerous explanations of the origins of our planet as well as the Universe as a whole. Since the time of the earliest humans, we have struggled to make sense of our world. Big History represents one point of view, and is considered a modern, scientific origin story. • The Big History origin story is incomplete and will continue to evolve as science and scholarly inquiry continue to advance. World History Big History includes selected World History topics in support of local standards in New York, California, and other regions around the world. While not a replacement for a world history course, they explore the intersection of Big History and world history. Either a globe icon or the notation (WH) denotes these activities, videos, and articles. Science The Big History science extension aims to increase the depth of STEM and general science content in the course. Either a beaker icon or the notation (Sci) denotes these activities, videos, and articles. Course Learning Outcomes 1. Explain how thresholds of increasing complexity, differing scales of time and space, claim testing, and collective learning help us understand historical, current, and future events as part of a larger narrative. 2. Integrate perspectives from multiple disciplines to create, defend, and evaluate the history of the Universe and Universal change. 3. Deepen an understanding of key historical and scientific concepts and facts; use these in constructing explanations. 4. Engage in meaningful scientific inquiry and historical investigations by being able to hypothesize, form researchable questions, conduct research, revise one’s thinking, and present findings that are well- supported by scientific and historical evidence.

  • The Natural Science Underlying Big History
    Review Article [Accepted for publication: The Scientific World Journal, v2014, 41 pages, article ID 384912; printed in June 2014 http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2014/384912] The Natural Science Underlying Big History Eric J. Chaisson Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138 USA [email protected] Abstract Nature’s many varied complex systems—including galaxies, stars, planets, life, and society—are islands of order within the increasingly disordered Universe. All organized systems are subject to physical, biological or cultural evolution, which together comprise the grander interdisciplinary subject of cosmic evolution. A wealth of observational data supports the hypothesis that increasingly complex systems evolve unceasingly, uncaringly, and unpredictably from big bang to humankind. This is global history greatly extended, big history with a scientific basis, and natural history broadly portrayed across ~14 billion years of time. Human beings and our cultural inventions are not special, unique, or apart from Nature; rather, we are an integral part of a universal evolutionary process connecting all such complex systems throughout space and time. Such evolution writ large has significant potential to unify the natural sciences into a holistic understanding of who we are and whence we came. No new science (beyond frontier, non-equilibrium thermodynamics) is needed to describe cosmic evolution’s major milestones at a deep and empirical level. Quantitative models and experimental tests imply that a remarkable simplicity underlies the emergence and growth of complexity for a wide spectrum of known and diverse systems. Energy is a principal facilitator of the rising complexity of ordered systems within the expanding Universe; energy flows are as central to life and society as they are to stars and galaxies.

  • DEEP FUTURE of BIG HISTORY: Cultural Evolution, Technoculture, and Omega Civilization
    DEEP FUTURE of BIG HISTORY: Cultural Evolution, Technoculture, and Omega Civilization Cadell Last Global Brain Institute Vrije Universiteit Brussel (Free University of Brussels) http://cadelllast.com [email protected] (v1.3., September 22, 2014) ABSTRACT: The study of big history attempts to identify major trends and processes throughout the development and evolution of the local universe. Big history has allowed for the integration of many disparate academic subjects, revealing a science and art of studying the emergence of complexity, the relation between evolutionary processes, and the cosmic context of the human experience. Current big historical data and theory identifies “Three Eras” of ordered and organizing complexity regimes: Physical, Biological, and Cultural Eras. These Eras change as a consequence of “Three Evolutionary Processes”: Physical, Biological, and Cultural Evolution. Contemporary science has developed the necessary tools to extrapolate and make predictions about the future of both the Physical and Biological Eras of evolution, but the potential future of the Cultural Era of evolution remains mysterious, yet intriguing. Cosmological theory predicts that all Eras will eventually end in thermodynamic equilibrium, or “heat death”. However, throughout the history of the cosmos, complexity and order have steadily increased in our local region of the universe, drifting further and further from simplicity and thermodynamic equilibrium in the process. Physical systems achieve higher order through gravitationally influenced energy flows; and living systems achieve higher organization through an information-based regulation of energy flows. Both processes contribute to the cosmic evolutionary trends of increased material integration, variation, and space-time compression. Cosmic evolution is fundamentally unified throughout this complexification process, manifesting as physicochemical, biochemical, and biocultural evolution, respectively.

  • Some Reflections on the Periodization of Tibetan History*
    Some Reflections on the Periodization of Tibetan History* Bryan J. Cuevas (Florida State University, USA) istory is always expressed as a narrative, a story about the past. To Hwrite a story out of the events of the past, historians must give those events a coherent meaning and plot those meaningful events as chapters in a larger narrative. This means that the method of writing history is not simply the recording of a series of past events, or a set of dates. Such a record would not be a history but a mere chronology, and history is never just a chronicle of dates. Historiography, the study of history and the methods employed in how individuals, or a community of people, or a culture come to understand the past and articulate that understanding, presupposes that history by necessity, whether we prefer this or not, is always written in chapters. Periodization — the breaking-up of the past into chapters, or “periods” — is one necessary way historians make sense of the past and also write history. The question of periodization, however, is one of those topics in historiography that generates fierce debates and can create, and certainly has created, much controversy. The problem of periodization is precisely this problem of how best to characterize and interpret the chapters in a coherent story of the past. As many insightful historians have warned over the years, the articulation of historical periods may indeed be arbitrary and artificial, but rarely is such articulation a neutral, unambiguous, and value- free enterprise. Having heeded this warning, I choose in this brief essay — perhaps unwisely — to charge headlong into this academic mine-field where success is not only risky, but far from guaranteed.

    Dz dzǣ Fan Communities, Mechanisms of Translation, and Participatory Politics Neta Kligler-Vilenchik A Case Study Report Working Paper Media, Activism and Participatory Politics Project AnnenBerg School for Communication and Journalism University of Southern California June 24, 2013 Executive Summary This report describes the mechani sms of translation through which participatory culture communities extend PHPEHUV¶cultural connections toward civic and political outcomes. The report asks: What mechanisms do groups use to translate cultural interests into political outcomes? What are challenges and obstacles to this translation? May some mechanisms be more conducive towards some participatory political outcomes than others? The report addresses these questions through a comparison between two groups: the Harry Potter Alliance and the Nerdfighters. The Harry Potter Alliance is a civic organization with a strong online component which runs campaigns around human rights issues, often in partnership with other advocacy and nonprofit groups; its membership skews college age and above. Nerdfighters are an informal community formed around a YouTube vlog channel; many of the pDUWLFLSDQWVDUHKLJKVFKRRODJHXQLWHGE\DFRPPRQJRDORI³GHFUHDVLQJZRUOGVXFN.´ These two groups have substantial overlapping membership, yet they differ in their strengths and challenges in terms of forging participatory politics around shared cultural interests. The report discusses three mechanisms that enable such translation: 1. Tapping content worlds and communities ± Scaffolding the connections that group members have through their shared passions for popular culture texts and their relationships with each other toward the development of civic identities and political agendas. 2. Creative production ± Encouraging production and circulation of content, especially for political expression. 3. Informal discussion ± Creating and supporting spaces and opportunities for conversations about current events and political issues.

  • Overview of Periodization Methods for Resistance Training
    Overview of Periodization Methods for Resistance Training By Mladen Jovanović ([email protected]) Belgrade, 26. April 2006. www.powerdevelopmentinc.com 1. Introduction The reason for writing this article is to put my current knowledge regarding periodization in some systematisized form, thus allowing more deeper discussion and as a result more knowldege in mine, and yours, coaching toolbox. The purpose of this article is not to attach „good“ or „bad“ atributes to some forms of periodization, but rather to critically analyse them, their pros and cons, thus allowing an easyer choice/decisions for S&C coach implementing and combining them in some specific situations for specific athletes. This article is not going in discussion „what is periodization or strength“ and simmilar stuff, but it is going to be more general in its nature. Also, it is written for coaches with advanced knowledge regarding resistance training and periodization, altought I will try to make it readable and fun. 2. Before we start For the sole purpose of this article I will define four goals resistance training should cover: 1. Structural and strength endurance (15-20 RM) 2. Hypertrophy goals (5-15 RM) 3. Max strength (1-5 RM) 4. Power/Explosivness or Dynamic Effort (50-70% 1RM & Olys) Let me remind you that this classification is higly debatable and it is used only for easier explanation of different periodization methods, so please do not bother me or yourself with it, just accept it how it is and direct your attention to the periodization methods described. Thanks. 3. Many coaches, many methods Basically, what you are going to read here are „pure“ forms of periodizaion methods, a situation which is not happening so often in „real life“.
