One of the many consequences of the pandemic has been the move to virtual learning, leading educators to change the way they teach and assess. Many of these are positive changes that will be maintained and further expanded upon once students return to the classroom.

Teachers have been driven to creative approaches to teaching, learning and assessment. Face to face learning is beneficial for all, and the preferred mode of learning, but the lessons learned during remote learning are sure to impact the face to face learning experience as well.

TeachConx 2021 focuses on celebrating & showcasing the creativity, and hard work that teachers have employed to teach and assess their students in light of the challenges of the pandemic. There will be opportunities to reflect on how these changes will improve learning long after the pandemic has ended, while also focusing on mindfulness and the well-being of teachers & leaders.

A network of IB librarians share how they have learned from each other and adapted to new ways of working during the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) outbreak.

Librarians play a vital role in IB World Schools by promoting reading, literacy, knowledge, school cohesion and community involvement. In the past few decades, as digital technology has advanced, the function of librarians and libraries has evolved too. But the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic, which caused many schools to teach online, has accelerated changes.

With many school buildings shut, librarians have had to re-evaluate how they work and support teachers and students. The Liferarian group-a community of librarians who believe in empowering and leveraging the role of a librarian in an educational organization-have been supporting each other to do just that.

"These professional learning clusters have led the Liferarian members to motivate each other and build confidence".

Created in 2016 by three librarians from India (Heeru Bhojwani from the American School of Bombay; Anil Mane from Edubridge International School and Kuntal Bhandare from the Ecole Mondiale World School), the group's purpose is ''to support librarians who desire to pursue contemporary strategies and ideas to stay current and relevant". Starting with just eight members in 2016, it has now grown to over 100 librarians from India, the Middle East, East Asia and the U.S.

The Liferarian team actively promotes the IB framework by using Ideal Libraries: A Guide for Schools, approaches to learning (ATL) and academic integrity, embedding them in collaboration with the teaching teams at their schools. Most of the members have attended workshops facilitated by the IB at different levels, from category one to three, and have found them useful in understanding the IB philosophy and pedagogical approach to learning.

Heeru Bhojwani says: "We strive to become knowledgeable, thinkers and open-minded and provide a support system to help each other professionally".

Adapting to a global pandemic

As the pandemic turned the world upside down and caused schools to close, Liferarian members began to discuss how to manage resources for students who had previously been dependent on physical books. "Our team members got into the act of adding free resources available at the time on to Padlet, which were shared with all librarians in the network", explains Bhojwani.

The librarians in the group also leveraged technology to continue to support each other's growth and learning, through professional development discussions on Zoom and Google Meet. And during the summer, technology tools were taught through Zoom conferences.

The Liferarian core team initiated professional learning clusters (PLC)-face-to-face meetings online to work on their personal and professional growth by teaching and learning tools, strategies and skills. "These groups of professional librarians have regular planned meetings. Each group meets at their own time, follows their purpose and holds relevant and open discussions to clarify and learn", explains Bhojwani.

She says the PLC meeting topics cover all areas of a librarian's role. "It could be about creating an interdisciplinary-based lesson plan, how to teach and embed research skills through collaboration, how to align approaches to learning (ATL) to their programme or even learn a new technological tool. Discussions can range from eBook platforms and book lists to copyright questions".

She adds: "These professional learning clusters have led the Liferarian members to motivate each other, build confidence, become courageous and develop a healthy professional attitude of a growth mindset, while becoming reflective of one's practices".

Reimagining the role of librarians

To prepare librarians for the future and the fact that schools may not function as they did before the pandemic, the group held a virtual conference on the 'Role of Librarians in a Hybrid Learning Environment' in November 2020. Participants said the keynote speakers and the panel conversations were insightful and encouraging and the conference boosted their confidence.

Mr Santosh, a conference participant, says: "It was wonderful. It proved learning can happen anywhere, anytime, particularly for library professionals in India. The conference made us confident and tech-savvy to face the future world. All the conference leaders had prepared at global standards. I have found good professional friends who were also providing an opportunity to build libraries in rural areas. I will remember this for a long time in my professional career".

Future projects

To continue to serve the community, the Liferarian Association's outreach initiative endeavours to build libraries in rural India, providing resources and training to the librarians. It has launched an online outreach programme called Bloom Books to provide a voice for students living in India to share their experiences through writing and illustrations in any language, thus fostering home language as well as a multilingual approach to expression.

Team members continue to communicate through WhatsApp groups, meetings and discussions held on various conferencing apps and other software. "New connections, courage, optimism, open-minded discussions and sharing of resources are vital components of the Liferarian learning network", says Bhojwani. This philosophy will continue to be invaluable as librarians adapt to the new educational landscape.

The central point here is that the show Euphoria inaccurately portrays teenagers' lives which raises the question: Is there a responsibility that comes with creating artwork? Must it be accurate? Who decides?

The claim that the show is inaccurate is backup with statistics raises the question: How can math/statistics help us acquire knowledge? (or understand reality?)

People's perceptions of teens' behaviors seems to be generally inaccurate beyond what this show. If presented with this article and appropriate statistics would people change their mind or perceptions of these issues? I'm not sure that it would which leads us to the question: What is the role of intuition in acquiring knowledge? Can mathematical knowledge overcome intuitive beliefs?

This reminded me of an earlier article from the New York Times:
"The Kids Are More Than All Right" https://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/02/02/the-kids-are-more-than-all-right/ In mathematics, where proofs are everything, evidence is important too. But evidence is only as good as the model, and modeling can be dangerous business. So how much evidence is enough?

Those mathematicians know to be cautious when working with their models. Because they know that no matter how useful and interesting their model, no matter how compelling the evidence they collect, there might be something out there about elliptic curves that they didn't quite imagine. And if you can't imagine it, your model can't capture it, and that means the evidence won't reflect it.

https://www.quantamagazine.org/where-proof-evidence-and-imagination-intersect-in-math-20190314/

Mathematics professor Jason Brown spent 10 years working with statistics to solve the magical mystery. Brown's the findings were presented on Aug. 1 at the Joint Statistical Meeting in a presentation called "Assessing Authorship of Beatles Songs from Musical Content: Bayesian Classification Modeling from Bags-Of-Words Representations."

When our brains don't have a good intuition for reasoning with numbers, explicit probabilistic thinking can lead to improved decision-making.
https://www.quantamagazine.org/the-bayesian-probability-puzzle-solution-20180302/

"Mathematics has little surprises that are designed to test and push your mental limits The following 12 simple math problems prove outstandingly controversial among students of math, but are nonetheless facts.

"They're paradoxes and idiosyncrasies of probability. And they're guaranteed to start an argument or two. If you're looking for a mathematical way to impress your friends and beguile your enemies, here's a good place to start."

This is an interesting case of how numbers get reported and what they mean. Often the numbers that get reported reflect a desire to grab people's attentions or simply to tell the story the media outlet wants to tell. If you report 26% or 3% neither one is necessarily lying though the two numbers are referring to two different things. ( Here is a link to an earlier post about how an Illinois tax increase was reported)

12% of respondents to a recent survey said they watched fewer NFL games and of those 26% said that the main reason was Colin Kaepernick's protest during the national anthem. How should that get reported? And what impression gets left in people's minds based on the wording?

Another way to think about it is this: 12% of the 26% who watched fewer games comes out to about 3% of the total number of people who watched football. Hmm. That leaves a very different impression than 26%.

Here is the original, misleading ESPN article whose headline has since changed I believe.
http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/20171611/national-anthem-protests-no-1-reason-viewers-tuned-nfl-games
"National anthem protests were the top reason that NFL fans watched fewer games last season, according to a new survey released by J.D. Power.

"The pollster said it asked more than 9,200 people who attended either one football, basketball or hockey game whether they tuned into fewer games and why. Twenty-six percent of those who watched fewer games last season said that national anthem protests, some of which were led by Colin Kaepernick, were the reason."

And here is a link to a Huffington Post article discussing the issue with how the numbers are reported:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/colin-kaepernick-sports-ratings_us_597a2382e4b02a4ebb73e064
"When they're used well, graphs can help us intuitively grasp complex data. But as visual software has enabled more usage of graphs throughout all media, it has also made them easier to use in a careless or dishonest way - and as it turns out, there are plenty of ways graphs can mislead and outright manipulate. Lea Gaslowitz shares some things to look out for."

"Carved into our past, woven into our present, numbers shape our perceptions of the world and of ourselves much more than we commonly think. Numbers and the Making of Us is a sweeping account of how numbers radically enhanced our species' cognitive capabilities and sparked a revolution in human culture. Caleb Everett brings new insights in psychology, anthropology, primatology, linguistics, and other disciplines to bear in explaining the myriad human behaviors and modes of thought numbers have made possible, from enabling us to conceptualize time in new ways to facilitating the development of writing, agriculture, and other advances of civilization.

"Number concepts are a human invention―a tool, much like the wheel, developed and refined over millennia. Numbers allow us to grasp quantities precisely, but they are not innate. Recent research confirms that most specific quantities are not perceived in the absence of a number system. In fact, without the use of numbers, we cannot precisely grasp quantities greater than three; our minds can only estimate beyond this surprisingly minuscule limit.

"Everett examines the various types of numbers that have developed in different societies, showing how most number systems derived from anatomical factors such as the number of fingers on each hand. He details fascinating work with indigenous Amazonians who demonstrate that, unlike language, numbers are not a universal human endowment. Yet without numbers, the world as we know it would not exist."

The importance of sunscreen cannot be overstated, especially during summer when the suns rays are at their strongest and people are inclined to spend more time outdoors. We have no problem remembering to slather on sunscreen on your face and body before a day at the beach, but we shouldnt skimp on sun protection prior to other outside activities like a jog at the park or brunch al fresco. We should also be reapplying sunscreen every two hours - or more frequently if were working out and sweating a lot.Related GuidesUnfortunately, layers of sunscreen can make our skin greasy and prone to breakouts. Reapplying SPF can leave stubborn stains on our clothes, too.

Yes, these are valid annoyances, but theyre not reasons to ditch sunscreen altogether, especially since the alternatives to going sans sun protection are much worse by comparison: Painful sunburn, irreversible wrinkles, and increased risk for skin cancer.Knowing how to remove sunscreen from your skin and clothes will go a long way in saving your complexion and preserving your favorite outfits.

Most importantly, you wont be deterred from (re)applying sunscreen for the sake of preventing breakouts and stains. Here are the steps you can take to make sure you completely wash off whatever sunscreen you have left on your skin and clothes after a long day outdoors.How to Remove Sunscreen From Your Skin Why does sunscreen leave our skin feeling greasy and acne-prone? According to New York-based cosmetic dermatologist Dr. Kenneth Mark, The sun itself makes our skin cells reproduce more rapidly yet they do not shed more rapidly, which he says yields the perfect storm for clogging pores.In other words, layers of sunscreen plus considerable time in the sun equals a buildup of product, dirt, oil, and dead skin over time.

To effectively remove sunscreen and other surface-level pollutants from your face, you ll want to double cleanse.Start by using an oil-based cleanser formulated with surfactants and emulsifiers that will lift away sunscreen plus other cosmetics you may have been wearing throughout the day. Follow up with a gentle water-based cleanser that will thoroughly clean your skin and remove any pore-clogging residue leftover from the previous step.

​Pat your face dry with a soft towel, then follow up with a toner and moisturizer.As for removing sunscreen from the rest of your body, youll still want to opt for an oil-based cleanser like castile soap or shea butter soap. You can also use a loofah or body scrub glove to slough off sunscreen and gently exfoliate your skin in the process. Rinse, pat dry, then follow up with your favorite body lotion.

How to Remove Sunscreen From Your ClothesIf you apply sunscreen before changing into your bathing suit or outfit for the day, some of that lotion may transfer onto the fabric and eventually stain. Even if youre careful in reapplying your sunblock, a tiny bit of it could still land on your clothes. Sunscreen stains are tough to remove from fabric, but it is possible to salvage your favorite summer outfits and swimsuits.Try to remove excess sunscreen from your clothing as soon as you can.

Cassandra Kuzneski, founder of sustainable swimwear line Cassea Swim, says that sunscreens and body lotions easily work their way into clothing ... the longer they set into the fabric, the more damage they will do to the color.When you get home, immediately change into another outfit and throw your sunscreen-soiled clothes in the wash. It helps to spot treat any sunscreen splotches with a stain remover thats specially formulated to cut through grease and oil before properly washing your clothes. Barring that, you can use baking soda or cornstarch to absorb excess oils; dust either one over sunscreen stains and let sit for 15 to 30 minutes before brushing off and washing your clothes per usual.If a sunscreen stain just wont budge, there are other options to pursue.

Kuzneski recommends submerging stained swimsuits or clothing in cold water with a quarter cup of white vinegar for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, a common home remedy for removing sunscreen from white clothing is lemon juice. Spray lemon juice on the affected area, then hang your clothes outside on a sunny day. This combo acts as a natural bleaching agent.5 Products To Remove Sunscreen From Your Skin and Clothes DHC Deep Cleansing Oil The well-rated oil cleanser from Japanese skincare brand DHC effectively melts away sunscreen and other surface-level impurities with a blend of olive oil, rosemary leaf oil, and vitamin E. Make this the first step in your sunscreen removal routine.

Paulas Choice Optimal Results Hydrating Cleanser. This award-winning facial cleanser is a creamy water-based formula. Follow your oil-based formula with this hydrating cleanser that will remove sunscreen and impurities without leaving your skin tight or dry.Dr. Bronners Pure Castile Liquid Soap Castile soap can be used to wash your body, laundry, dishes, or even pets. The blend of organic oils in this formula from Dr. Bronners will help break down sunscreen and other impurities. Should you use it as a body wash, remember to follow up with a moisturizer as it can be quite drying. Amazer

Bath Shower Sponge Back Scrubber This scrubber includes an extra-long handle so you can remove sunscreen from your back and other hard-to-reach places much more easily. The loofah itself is knotted extra tight to prevent it from unraveling, as most loofahs are prone to do. Carbona Stain Devils #7 Motor Oil & Lubricant

Carbonas line of Stain Devils stain removers includes a formula thats specially made to remove sunscreen and other lubricants from your clothes. Use it as a spot treatment for smaller stains before washing.

Research Skills Worksheets Listed By Specific Topic Area

Research skills are important to a person's educational, professional, and personal life. Did you ever hear a story, but wasn't sure if it was true? Or maybe you saw a word phrase that you didn't quite understand. Researching helps to locate information, and then use that information logically. It's like solving a problem, and in this case it would be finding out whether that story was true/false or discovering the meaning behind the word phrase that you were not able to understand at first.

We provide a bunch of printable worksheets to help students with their research skills. Students will learn the benefits of using the Internet as a tool for research. We also have pretty cool worksheets to get students interested in the stock market, and to research the ins and outs of the famous Wall Street.

How Students Can Become Better Researchers

The basis of everything we know is research. For students to understand the world around them, they must develop the skill of gathering, organizing, analyzing, and interpreting information. Conducting research will take them a long way in their educational and professional careers. The sheer volume of information available to us due to the rapid rise in technology has made it easier than ever to access information with the click of a button anywhere in the world.

It is also crucial for students to filter out fake information or a mere misrepresentation of facts. Students must be taught how to plan their research in a judicial manner, which will pave the way for them to become better researchers along with better decision-makers and influencers.

When a student has successfully developed the skill of conducting research, they will answer and solve any question or problem that arises. They will not have to look upon their peers and superiors for answers and ultimately become their teachers.

Research requires patience as an essential part of the writing process for students, and without this skill, they are likely to stumble at the first hurdle. Here are a few simple ways to help your students develop better research skills.

1. Be curious and ask more questions

Curiosity instills in us a powerful urge to ask questions and seek answers. By encouraging students to become curious, they will step out of their comfort zones and begin to see the world from a different perspective. A hunger for knowledge makes students better listeners and more receptive to information, ideas and perspectives around them. This will immensely add to their knowledge. There is no right or wrong question, and students must not be discouraged from either. Be patient, help them explore, and reach their conclusions to things.

2. Make the best use of the Internet and other sources

One can never underestimate the sheer volume of data and information that the Internet has in store for us. The foundation of good research is knowing when and how to ask the right questions. Making the best use of search engines like Google and Yahoo can make research easier for students.

A greater volume of data does not necessarily mean that the facts and sources are authentic. Students must gather data from reliable sources and filter out any misleading, deceptive, and ambiguous information. Students must check their facts from multiple sources to validate their authenticity. It is also essential to know how to cite the data gathered from the Internet.

The trick is to refine search queries as much as possible, which will increase the chances of the search engine returning information that is more relevant to the research. To get the best possible results from Google or any other search engine, students must use quotation marks around their search words to ensure that the search engine shows results for the entire phrase and not just individual words in the phrase. Another way is to search for reliable and well-known sites by typing the URL in the search bar.
Click here for a comprehensive guide on effectively using Google as a research tool.

The Internet is not the only place where students can find a data pool and information. Visiting libraries can be a big stepping stone towards becoming a good researcher. Reading books, magazines, newspapers, and journals add so much to your knowledge. Libraries are the best places for future researchers as they offer the best space for learning and growth. The library staff also helps students locate significant material on their research topics.

3. Establish SMART goals

To conduct any research, students must first establish their desired goal. Then they must ensure that their goals bring together two parameters: structure and tractability. Research goals and objectives should be:

Specific: Goals must be crisp, precise, and identifiable.

Measurable: Goals should be trackable and quantifiable. That makes it easier for them to be measured against results.

Achievable: Goals should be attainable, manageable, and realistic. Students should not have goals that are beyond their capacity.

Relevant: Ensuring that the goals are important to you.

Time-bound: The time frame for the goal to be achieved must be specified.

4. Participate in debates

Debating is a powerful tool that helps people exhibit their research power in practical terms. Debates also allow you to think critically. It is a whole experience that will require students to find, analyze their topic, brainstorm ideas, note down the facts and present them in the form of a speech or argument. By dividing the class into groups and assigning topics to them, healthy competition can be made out of it, allowing students to conclude their research in a few lines and improve their power of expression. It will give them confidence and promote future research and critical thinking, which will help them in their education and professional lives.

5. Avoid Plagiarism at all times

Students need to understand that plagiarism raises red flags. If you need to quote someone or use their work, you must know proper citation. There are several citation websites present on the Internet. You can enter the web page URL where you want to use your research. It automatically generates a citation in different styles like APA, Harvard, etc., which you can add to your research. It also adds authenticity to your wiring and gives the reader a good impression. If students are writing essays, they should know how to use quotation marks around quotes to highlight the text they are copying.

Hence, concluding that research is not a difficult task if you know how to ask the right questions, organize your information, use credible sources, filter out misleading facts, analyze your data and then present it in a concise and consolidated form. It is also important to remember to ask for feedback from your supervisors or teachers, which will benefit you greatly.
