| The Teaching Company – High School Level – Chemistry [Video Trainning] Posted: 27 Jul 2009 07:09 AM PDT  High School Level – Chemistry [Video Trainning] | 5,11 GB Chemistry teachers will tell you that there is an experience they have all had many times. Someone will ask them, “What do you do for a living?” and when they reply, “I’m a chemistry teacher,” the all-too-common response is: “That was my worst subject!” Why is that? Is high school chemistry just so intrinsically difficult that only students with great intellectual gifts are capable of succeeding without heroic efforts? The Easiest Class in School Professor Frank Cardulla doesn’t believe that for a moment, and he will hopefully convince you, as he has thousands of high school students, that “chemistry is the easiest class in school.” Students often claim it is the math that is difficult. But high school chemistry normally only demands that students be able to add, subtract, multiply, and divide numbers and do some simple algebra. Calculators take care of the first four, and most students can handle the latter. It’s not the math that some students find difficult. It’s the requirement to engage in what might be called “quantitative reasoning”—the ability to take the numbers presented in what are often called “word” or “story” problems and put them together in the proper way to arrive at the correct answer. Should the numbers be multiplied or divided? And if divided, how do you know which number to put in the numerator and which in the denominator? This difficulty is far and away what “turns off” many students to chemistry, and it is addressing this difficulty that is the focus of these chemistry lectures. The Hardest Parts Have Simple Answers As Professor Cardulla puts it, “My goal in these lectures is not to quickly cover every topic that is typically included in most high school chemistry courses. Most students don’t need a lot of help learning element symbols or memorizing definitions. With reasonable effort they can learn the basic structure of atoms and how the Periodic Table works. That isn’t the stumbling block. It’s quantitative reasoning—solving those story problems. It’s the mole concept and its application to stoichiometry, molarity, and equilibrium. This is what frustrates so many, because they think solving these kinds of problems requires either some exceptional intellect or some kind of ’special’ approach totally divorced from the kind of quantitative reasoning we all use naturally and often effortlessly in everyday life. It doesn’t.” He justifies this statement by showing how “chemical” reasoning is nothing more than an extension of the kind of quantitative reasoning that most of us use every day. Once this base is firmly established, this simple, natural reasoning is then applied to most of the important problem-solving situations that face high school chemistry students, from density, to the mole, to molarity, stoichiometry, and equilibrium. Genuine Understanding that Lasts Professor Cardulla refuses to have students learn mathematical “gimmicks” that allow them to obtain correct answers to simple problems without any real understanding, only to have them fall apart later when problems are encountered that demand understanding. Instead, he establishes a firm foundation—a foundation based on a real and deep understanding of basic concepts and how one can apply the kind of simple, natural quantitative reasoning we all use every day to what are truly simple chemistry problems once this basic understanding is established. It is this basis of true understanding that makes chemistry “the easiest class in school.” Professor Cardulla has published articles and given numerous presentations about this simple, logical approach, and the achievements of his students bear testimony to its effectiveness. He has received citations from institutions such as MIT and the University of Chicago for being named “most influential teacher” by attending students. He has received several teaching awards, among them the Davidson Award, a Presidential Award for Science Teaching, the National Catalyst Award for Outstanding Chemistry Teaching, and the National James Bryant Conant Award. The latter two are given to only one high school chemistry teacher in the entire United States each year. Throughout this tutorial, Professor Cardulla uses, in equal measure, the blackboard, a flipchart on an easel, and computer-generated graphic screens to illustrate his lessons, which also include about a dozen physical demonstrations.

| Lullabot – Theming Basics For Drupal Posted: 27 Jul 2009 07:07 AM PDT  The Lullabot Learning Series continues with a hands-on look at Drupal’s theming system. In this 2 hour and 44 minute long in-depth video guide, Nate Haug, Jeff Robbins, and James Walker explain the steps for translating a web design into a Drupal theme. The video explains Drupal’s design vernacular, concepts, and special needs. The team shows how to associate the proper CSS & Javascript files, add all of the necessary regions, and control the HTML output through page and node-specific templates. You’ll learn about the best tools and strategies for controling the look and feel of your Drupal website. This video covers the basics of Drupal theming. Drupal’s more complex theming topics are covered in the Advanced Theming video (to be released soon) which pairs with this video and finishes the complete implementation of the 960 Robots theme used in both videos. Introduction Overview of Drupal theming Setting up environment & switching themes Design-to-theme translation strategies Theming tools: Firebug & Web Developer Overview of .info files Creating a theme & applying CSS Overview of template files Creating the page template Filling out the site & adding regions Working with node templates Using the Theme Developer tool Adding javascript to a theme Exploring page template variables Adding a screenshot to your theme Conclusion Examples in this video are based on Drupal 6 and its variants.

| Posted: 26 Jul 2009 10:45 PM PDT  XAML in a Nutshell Product Description When Microsoft releases Windows Vista, the new operating system will support applications that employ graphics now used by computer games–clear, stunning, and active. The cornerstone for building these new user interfaces is XAML (”Zammel”), the XML-based markup language that works with Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), Vista’s new graphics subsystem.
An acronym for Extensible Application Markup Language, XAML offers a wealth of new controls and elements with exciting capabilities, including animation and rendering of 3D graphics. Windows developers are already jazzed by the possibilities of using XAML for fixed and flow format documents like PDF and HTML, 2D and 3D vector-based graphics, form development, animation, audio and video, transparent layering, and a lot more. Many feel that XAML will eliminate the need for multiple file formats or plug-ins (read: Flash), while lowering development costs and reducing time to market. The problem is, most developers don’t know XAML. While it is fairly easy to understand, you still need a quick guide to bring you up to speed before Vista’s release, and that’s where this book’s simple, no nonsense approach comes in. XAML in a Nutshell covers everything necessary to design user interfaces and .NET applications that take advantage of WPF. Prerequisites such as Microsoft’s new unified build system, MSBuild, and core XAML constructs and syntax–including shortcuts–are all presented with plenty of examples to get you started. The Core XAML Reference section lets you dig even deeper into syntax rules and attributes for all XAML elements with a series of quick-reference chapters. This section divides XAML elements into logical categories of elements, controls, shapes and geometry, layout, animations, and transformations for easy reference. XAML in a Nutshell helps you learn, firsthand, how to use this XML-based markup language to implement the new generation of user interface graphics. As one reviewer noted, “Strong code examples and an efficient, conversational style take the tedium out of learning XAML and make the subject understandable–even interesting.” |

| Readings in Database Systems, 4th Edition Posted: 26 Jul 2009 10:39 PM PDT  Readings in Database Systems, 4th Edition Product Description This fourth edition has been substantially updated and revised, with 21 of the 48 papers new to the edition, four of them published for the first time. Many of the sections have been newly organized, and each section includes a new or substantially revised introduction that discusses the context, motivation, and controversies in a particular area, placing it in the broader perspective of database research. Two introductory articles, never before published, provide an organized, current introduction to basic knowledge of the field; one discusses the history of data models and query languages and the other offers an architectural overview of a database system. The remaining articles range from the classical literature on database research to treatments of current hot topics, including a paper on search engine architecture and a paper on application servers, both written expressly for this edition. The result is a collection of papers that are seminal and also accessible to a reader who has a basic familiarity with database systems. |
