Project Maths resources on Probability and Statistics
A series of high-end complementary maths teaching resources directly aligned with the Irish Department of Education's "Project Maths" syllabus and the Irish Leaving Certificate Exam are being offered by Alison (Advance Learning Interactive Systems Online).
These resources were created in collaboration with two Galway-based, Project Maths trained, secondary school teachers in partnership with the Galway Education Centre and the Athenry Maths Academy.
Currently available is Strand One of the curriculum: Probability and Statistics (Ordinary Level and Higher Level), an area found to be of traditional difficulty among students, and an area of increasing importance in the growing knowledge economy.
These are a complementary resource, not a replacement to in-classroom teaching of maths, and are made up of video lectures as well as interactive lessons from teachers and tutors from all over the world.
A Certificate of Completion is awarded to students who complete the full course.
If we open it will they come? Towards a new OER Logic Model
The paper "If we open it will they come? Towards a new OER Logic Model" presents the result of a multilingual empirical survey on the 'micro level factors' of using, creating sharing and reusing open educational resources (OER).
Authored by Dr Ulf-Daniel Ehler, Professor for Educational Management and Lifelong Learning at Baden-Wurttemberg Cooperative State University, the paper emerges from the assumption that current models of OER integration are often lacking factors to support the creation of a sustainable open educational practice culture in organisations.
Micro level factors for integration of OER into teaching and learning on basis of the results of an empirical survey are presented and interpreted. They are used to enhance the OER logic model(s) into an "enhanced OER logic model" which, in addition to create equalized access, is capable of creating a culture of open educational practices as well.
wiki4HE research project
Wiki for Higher Education (wiki4HE) is a research project being carried out by Spanish researchers aiming to analyse the use of Internet open content for university teaching and explore and propose new ways for using these resources in learning processes.
wiki4HE will specifically examine the educational uses of one of the most important open repositories of knowledge nowadays, Wikipedia, and explore the attitudes and perceptions of university teachers towards this virtual collaborative encyclopaedia (and open resources in general).
The expected outcomes of the project are a clear understanding of the perception, attitudes and uses of Wikipedia by university faculty and the identification of factors influencing these perceptions and practices. Moreover, taking into account this information, wiki4HE will produce a catalogue of educational practices and tutorials involving the use of Wikipedia, which teachers and university staff will be able to adapt to suit their needs and their pedagogical orientations.
Finally a set of recommendations will be drafted in order to help any university teacher to design, plan and implement new teaching practices using open resources in the Internet.
Themes in Science and Technology Education
The latest issue of THEMES IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION is now available on the THESTE Journal Web Site.
THEMES IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION invites contributions in the form of original theoretical works, research reports and literature reviews about the development of Science Education, eLearning and ICT in Education.
The editors cordially invite contributions for review and publication.
Observing the 80s
Observing the 1980s offers a unique and inspiring insight into the lives and opinions of British people from all social classes and regions during the 1980s decade. A lot of the material comprises the personal memories of people who lived through the Thatcher era, making this resource seem all the more resonant now.
The Observing the 1980s project brings together 'voices' from the Mass Observation Project and the British Library's Oral history collections, alongside 1980s documents and ephemera such as public information leaflets, pamphlets, posters and tickets from the University of Sussex Library's archives.
The value of digitising these collections and disseminating them as open educational resources is that currently no established historiography of the 1980s exists. The decade is largely represented as polarised and the work that does exist is similarly divided into oppositional camps.
By bringing together these resources, students and academics will be able to make and illustrate connections across and between these polarised approaches. Additionally, a key benefit for educators at all levels is in the raw nature of the information and its potential use across subject areas such as politics, sociology, oral history, cultural and media studies, linguistics, gender studies, narrative and memory studies, migration studies, folklore studies, anthropology and contemporary history.
The material is also embedded into the University of Sussex Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) using open Moodle software. A variety of open education resources have been created, including one titled "Thatcher's Britain: Observing the 1980s", with videos, images and slides that can be accessed by anyone through a guest login with no need sign up. There are also several infographics covering the Falklands Conflict, unemployment, the miners' strike and sexuality in Thatcher's Britain.
The Observing the 1980s material will also be available through HumBox and JORUM as well as via other educational resource sites such as the British Library.

Shawano speedway gets first race in on Saturday, May 7
After being delayed for three weeks, due to a brutal spring, Mother Nature finally relented and brought enough good weather to the area to allow Shawano Speedway to get its 2011 race season underway on Saturday, May 7. Once again there was a rumble in the air, the ground shook, and the dirt flew at Shawano Speedway.
Shawano Speedway adds events to upcoming racing programs
It turned out to be another washout for local racing last weekend. Luxemburg Speedway and the Oshkosh Speedzone Raceway were able to get their racing programs in on Friday night, but the local tracks that race on Saturday and Sunday night had to cancel their racing programs because of the rainy weather over the weekend.
I made the trip to Luxemburg Speedway on Friday night. It was only the second race night Luxemburg Speedway has been able to complete this year. Just like Shawano Speedway, clay was added to Luxemburg Speedway during the offseason which has made things a bit more difficult getting the track ready during the wet spring we are having.

To ensure you can put lots of stuff in and get to it pronto, we first put in lots of thought. That's why the large main compartment has a dedicated EVA foam padded sleeve with velcro fastener to safeguard up to a 15-inch laptop. Why it features a six-pocket clutter buster for your phone, toons, pens and wotnot. And why there's also a general cargo space, one velcro-fastened internal pocket, two internal stuff pockets, and a full-width external zippered pocket.
Seal the Considerable Embarrassment's outer flap with its dual injection moulded velcro fasteners and even the most dexterous pocket pickerer will struggle to get their mischievous mitts in unnoticed.
Particularly paranoid about your precious poota? Excess-ing your baggage? Bring the dual quick release compression straps into play. Exhale. Click. Tighten. Done. What a cinch.
The more stuff you carry, the more you need a wide strap to distribute its weight - and the more youíll appreciate the Considerable Embarrassmentís soft but strong 50mm flamed polypropylene webbing and removable Air Mesh shoulder pad. Complete with tri-glide buckle system, it will go to almost any lengths to ensure the bag sits right where you want it.
Be it rain, hail, sleet, snow, beer or mixed drinks, the bag's 900D outer, 300D Rip-stop inner and oversized flap are designed to weather the storm and keep your poota and its travel buddies dry.
The 900D outer and 300D Rip-stop lining combine phenomenal strength with exceptional smoothness. Your clothes don't catch. Your poota et al don't get scratched.
Designed to outlast its lifetime guarantee, the bag features a super strength water resistant 900D outer, 300D Rip-stop lining, flamed polypropylene webbing, triple strength S-Bend webbing attachment, injection moulded velcro and bonded nylon thread with bar tak stitching on all stress points.
Not just 'a' warranty, but the Legendary Crumpler 'Til Death Do Us Part' Warranty!
If your Crumpler bag fails as a result of defective materials or workmanship under normal use while you: a) draw breath and b) remain the bag's owner, we'll repair or replace the part(s) in question – no questions asked. Just drop your bag off at a Crumpler Store or mail your bag to a Crumpler HQ, postage paid, together with your proof of purchase and a short note to explain the problem. We'll make it right and send it back to you ASAP.
If we reckon the fault occurred as a result of 'abnormal' usage – no offence intended – we'll contact you and obtain your approval to repair the bag at your expense.
I'm normally the type of person that tries to spend as little as possible on backpacks, but I decided to splurge on this bag. I've had it for two years and it has held up perfectly. Honestly, it looks brand new. This bag is built to last, and I would not hesitate to buy another Crumpler bag in the future.
Got this bag over 3 years ago, back when I was a poor uni student, as I was spending $30/semester on a dodgy backpack anyway. I saved my pennies, got this beauty, and haven't looked back. Still works 100% ok, lots of pockets, comfy as, and stores everything you need for a day at the office or worksite, and can even store stuff for an interstate 3 day bender* *tried and tested, YMMV.
Larger on the inside than the outside - Bag of holding. I travel all over Australia with Laptop and bits, I'm a recent convert to Crumpler after dragging round a serviceable 20" HP Laptop bag for 5years. I bought a Considerable Embarrassment with burnt orange inside after I managed to get a 15" and a big 17" laptop inside along with notebook and bits. All this and the bag made light work of this heavy load. Then I bought the last Part and Parcel as well. Excellent.
Just got the bag today so here are my first impressions: Love: - the color: makes it feel less utiliarian even tho it's supremely practical - the protection it give my laptop - the room for other stuff besides my laptop - that it seems very well made like it would last a long time - the zippers are of very high quality Wish for: - short handle at top of body of bag just for the times you need to hoist the bag (this is a nice to have, not a great shortcoming) - outside pocket on the flap that i can access without having to open the bag: it would be slim obviously but good for key cards, keys (if not a huge bunch), cell phone, etc (this pocket would make the bag PERFECT)

Jason Earl Dean, 25, of Dalton, made national headlines in August 2011 after he handcuffed himself to an 18-year-old woman, a co-worker at the Taco Bell in Ringgold, in an attempt to convince her to go on a date with him.
Judge Ralph Van Pelt on Jan. 7 sentenced Dean to four years in jail, followed by six years on probation, said Lookout Mountain assistant district attorney Alan Norton.
"It's a split sentence," Norton said. "Four years is to be served in the department of corrections, while the remainder is to be served on probation with specific conditions."
Also, Dean is not to have any contact with the victim or her family, Norton said.

Slippery floors? Why settle for non-slip socks with just a few gripper dots, when our anti-slip socks have a whole gripper sole? Unlike others, our nylon/spandex kids' socks are coated from heel to toe with non-skid material, for superior safety and warmth. Provides added stability on hardwood and tile floors; great for unstable new walkers. Machine wash. Imported. A OneStepAhead Exclusive!

About Me First Time Parent
Comments about Kids Non-skid Socks 2-pack Pink 12 Mos.:
They actually stay on my daughter's feet! The anti-slip bottom works great on hardwood floors and tile!! My daughter's feet measure size 5. I bought the 18 month size. They are a little big but I simply put the non-skid socks on over a pair of socks and problem solved. Love them so much we have 4 pairs!

just think of them as slippers
By austex99
from Austin, tx
I got these for my daughter last winter when she was an early walker. She normally runs around barefoot inside, but the wood floors are too cold on winter mornings. I got the 12 month size last year and they were OK but a bit big-- they fit her perfectly now (20 months, size 6 shoe). I would recommend using them as slippers over socks. That improves the fit and means you don't have to wash them so often.
By ArmyWife215
from Sagamihara-shi, Japan
These fit my son perfectly! They weren't too big or too small. He didn't bother to try to take these socks off like he always does with his regular ones. His feet were clammy but not too sweaty. I have tile and hardwood floors and he sis not slip or lose his footing in these. Haven't washed them, but my washing machine has a handwash cycle so more than likely I will use that and let them air dry to prevent any damage.
Good no slip socks
By Cave Diver
from MD
These socks are great for toddlers running around in slippery wood floors. My only complaint is the completely synthetic material that makes her feet sweat.
Love Them!!!

About Me Parent of Two or More Children
These are the best non-slip socks out there. we have hardwoods and my daughter took a hard fall in socks. I bought them a year ago size 24 months she was wearing a six they were big but she wore them without issue. Now she wears a eight and they are a perfect fit.
Run Big
By MamaJos
from Orange County, CA
Great product, but they run super big, so order accordingly.
Great socks for toddlers!

About Me Grandparent
I got these for my 1yr old grandson when he started walking. It was winter at the time and I didn't want him to go barefooted or get his socks dirty then I saw these. They have a nice gripper coating the entire bottom, they are better than socks because they stay clean. The reason I didn't give them 5 stars is because after a few washings the seams around the gripper are starting to pull from around the sock part, although this is not hindering my grandson from wearing them and it doesn't seem to be getting any worse. I actually purchased these for my sisters grand daughter because she really liked mine.
Works great & STAYS ON!
By MamaK
from Idaho
Easy to put on, and works good for a little one that is crawling, and trying to stand on slick hardwood floors. Also, they STAY ON! but not too tight on my little one's chubby little legs.
not what I thought
By mom of 3 boys
from dallas tx
About Me Parent of Multiples (Twins etc)
I have 13 month old twins and I thought these would be great for walking in the house. The size was too big (ran big) the socks slip off with every step they take :( could of been good if they actually stayed on!
Just ok
By Talgal
from Saint Louis Park, MN
I was excited to order these because we have hardwood floors and I wanted the full non skid bottoms. However, the bottom is very slippery and isn't non skidable as advertized. My daughter still slips on our hardwood floors. Also bought these so she could play easier at the play structures that require socks but the non skid bottoms didn't work on those either. I aggree with the other reviews about them running big. My daughter has average size feet for her age and I ordered an age appropriate size & They are way too big! Ended up ordering the cozy slippers and I like them much better than these.
Sweaty feet
By C's mom
from Salem, Oregon
It made my son's feet sweaty. Not sure if he'll be wearing them much. If they were a more breathable fabric, probably would be better.
problems with product but fast service
By miki
from new mexico
I got these non-skid socks for my grandson. and received 2 pairs. One immediately separated the sock from the non-skid part, even before washing. I called customer service and received 2 more pairs in a few days. I believe they need to fix this problem, which I have seen on other reviews, but I am grateful for the prompt replacement. My grandson adores his socks.
Love, Love
By camw
from Bowie, MD
I got these for my 13 month old granddaughter who just started walking at 12 months. She comes off of the carpet in my rec room onto the kitchen floor and goes straight into a skid. These are helping her to feel the difference.
no more sliding in sock feet
By kw
from Mineral Wells WV
socks keep my one year old grandson from slipping and sliding on the hardwood floors.
nicely made socks that do not fall off
By josie

bought these for my 14 month old grand daughter who loves to pull off her socks, but left these on.
