Did you know that red is the first color that humans perceive, after black and white? It's the color that babies see first before any other, and the first that those suffering from temporary color blindness after a brain injury start to see again. Red's dominance is even reflected in how colors are defined: although different societies developed their names for colors at different times and in different ways, almost all of them named them in the same order. With only a few exceptions, the order of labelling colors was generally black first, white second, red third, and then green, yellow and blue.

Scientists have posited that societies developed names for colors according to which ones they had the strongest reaction to. This means that humans, supposedly much like bulls, have had strong feelings about the color red for thousands of years. Over time, red has come to symbolize power, love, vigor, and beauty. Do you want to know why? Take a journey with us through history to discover the surprising story of the world's most powerful color...

Red also made waves on the pre-historic art scene. Caves across the world, from Africa to Asia to Europe, bear traces made during the Paleolithic era. Drawings of animals, vessels, and people were made from painting red ochre on the cave walls, like this painting of a thylacoleo (an extinct species of lion) from the Djulirri rock art site in Northern Australia. More than 11,000 paintings have been found stretched over the site. Dated to 11,000 BCE, this naturalist animal painting may be the oldest surviving painting discovered there.

7. Raising Red Flags

World leaders have used red clothing as a way to showcase their power for hundreds of years. This portrait of Princess Elizabeth I before her accession as Queen shows a young woman preparing to assume her position as a powerful monarch. Her richly decorated red dress and red coif (close-fitting cap) send an unequivocal message of the young woman's political and moral strength. After the fall of the monarchy, the color red was then taken up by Revolutionaries around the world to symbolize new liberties and freedoms: from French Revolutionaries and their red phrygian caps, to the Bolshevik, Cultural, and Cuban Revolutions.

Courage, sacrifice, and love or anger, danger, and war? The color red can be associated with the happiest feelings as well as with the worst. Being the color that elicits the strongest reactions, it is no surprise that its symbolism can lie on both ends of the spectrum. So next time you're held up at a red stoplight (in this case the red is a symbol of danger), think about the color's revolutionary history (and maybe love too).

Vefurinn sem hér birtist haustið 2017 er handbók um innleiðingu spjaldtölva fyrir nemendur og kennara á mið- og unglingastigi grunnskóla í heilu sveitarfélagi. Byggt er á reynslu við innleiðingu á spjaldtölvum á þessu aldurstigi við alla grunnskóla í Kópavogi á árunum 2015 til 2017. Vefnum er skipt upp í nokkra efnisflokka eða síður eins og sjá má í valmynd hér fyrir ofan. Á síðunum eru ásamt fleiru stuttir lærdómskaflar þar sem höfundur reifar það sem hann telur gagnlegt fyrir þá sem vilja feta svipaða leið og Kópavogsbær. Það sem helst ætti að hafa í huga má svo sjá síðunni Samantekt og tillögur.
MARKHÓPURINN SVEITARSTJÓRNARMENN OG SKÓLAFÓLK

Markhópurinn er sveitarstjórnar- og skólafólk sem hefur áhuga á að innleiða spjaldtölvur í skólastarf í sínu sveitarfélagi. Einnig ætti vefurinn að nýtast starfsfólki, teymum og stýrihópum þar sem ákvörðun um innleiðingu hefur þegar verið tekin.

GREINARGERÐ OG FRÆÐILEG SJÓNARMIÐ

Vefnum fylgir greinargerð þar sem bakgrunni verkefnisins er lýst og sagt frá markmiðum með innleiðingunni, reynslu af henni og sumum þeim lærdómum sem draga má af spjaldtölvuvæðingunni á því stigi innleiðingar sem hún er um þessar mundir hjá Kópavogsbæ. Þar er leitast við að bregða fræðilegu ljósi á viðfangsefnið og vísað til rannsókna á innleiðingu á nýrri tækni í skólastarf og notkun spjaldtölva til náms og kennslu.

MEISTARAVERKEFNI Í MENNTAVÍSINDUM

Sigurður Haukur Gíslason hefur fengist við grunnskólakennslu um árabil en gegnir nú ásamt fleirum starfi kennsluráðgjafa í teyminu sem Kópavogsbær fól að leiða spjaldtölvuvæðingu grunnskólanna. Vefurinn og greinargerðin eru meistaraverkefni hans við Menntavísindasvið Háskóla Íslands.

NÝ STEFNA ÁRIÐ 2012 LAGÐI GRUNNINN

Árið 2012 var sett fram ný stefna í upplýsingatækni í grunnskólum Kópavogs og má segja að með henni hafi orðið til jarðvegur fyrir þá innleiðingu sem ráðist var í að loknum sveitarstjórnarkosningum árið 2014 og hófst árið 2015. Með þessari nýju stefnumótun árið 2012 var ætlunin að efla notkun upplýsingatækni í grunnskólastarfinu og gera skólum kleift að koma til móts við kröfur nútímans. Í nútímalegum skóla án aðgreiningar þurfa kennsluaðferðir að vera fjölbreyttar þannig að nemendur fái allir jöfn tækifæri til að afla sér þekkingar og upplýsinga og geti miðlað reynslu sinni og sýn á skapandi og gagnrýninn hátt. Til að ná þessum markmiðum þurfa kennarar að hafa góða þekkingu á upplýsingatækni og aðgang að tækjabúnaði sem uppfyllir þær kröfur sem gerðar eru á hverjum tíma.

ÁÆTLUN Í NOKKRUM ÞÁTTUM

Upplýsingatæknistefnunni fylgdi á sínum tíma framkvæmdaráætlun og skiptist hún í nokkra þætti. Þeir voru þróunar- og nýbreytniverkefni, samvinna skóla, fræðsla, ráðgjöf og innleiðing á breyttu fyrirkomulagi við úthlutun tæknibúnaðar.

Í þróunar- og nýbreytnihluta áætlunarinnar var meðal annars sagt frá því að við Salaskóla væri ætlunin á skólaárinu 2012-2013 að hrinda úr vör þróunarverkefni í 1.-4. bekk þar sem beita ætti spjaldtölvum og leggja megináherslu á upplýsingalæsi og markvissa þjálfun ákveðinna atriða í námskrá. Þetta varð raunin og er nánar fjallað um það í kaflanum Þróunarverkefni um spjaldtölvur hér á eftir.

Í hluta um samvinnu skóla var lýst því hlutverki grunnskóladeildar og upplýsingatæknideildar Kópavogsbæjar að halda upplýsinga- og samráðsfundi til að efla samstarf og tryggja upplýsingaflæði til skóla varðandi upplýsingatækni, svo sem með einum fundi á önn með tölvuumsjónarmönnum í skólum og árlegum kynningarfundi þar sem skólar yrðu hvattir til að sækja um styrki frá innlendum og erlendum sjóðum til þróunarverkefna á sviði upplýsingatækni.

Auka átti fræðslu og ráðgjöf á sviði upplýsingatækni í skólastarfi og veita skólum frelsi til að velja aðrar tegundir af tölvum þegar kæmi að endurnýjun á borðtölvum og þá fartölvur eða spjaldtölvur. Þessu samhliða var stefnt á að styrkja þráðlaust net í skólum sem á þessum tíma, árið 2012, var óvíða fyrir hendi. Einnig átti að skoða hvort nemendur gætu komið með eigin tæknibúnað í skólann.

Eins og af þessu má ráða var miðið sett á fartækni: fartölvur, spjaldtölvur og jafnvel síma. Má því segja að með þessari stefnumörkun hafi verið stigin fyrstu skref í átt að þeirri innleiðingu á spjaldtölvum sem síðar varð, að hún hafi sprottið úr þeim jarðvegi sem þarna var plægður.

ÞRÓUNARVERKEFNI UM SPJALDTÖLVUR OG HEIMSÓKN Á TÆKNISÝNINGU

Eins og áður sagði urðu ákveðin þáttaskil árið 2012 þegar þegar yfirvöld í Kópavogsbæ lögðu fram nýjar og skipulegar hugmyndir um upplýsingatækni í grunnskólum. Þá var mörkuð sú stefna að koma upp þráðlausum nettengingum í grunnskólunum og að skólar hefðu aukið frjálsræði um val á tölvubúnaði. Ný fartækni með snjalltækjum á borð við snjallsíma og spjaldtölvur var þá rétt að koma fram.

Einn grunnskólanna, Salaskóli, nýtti tækifærið skólaárið 2012-2013 og fór af stað með þróunarverkefni í upplýsingatækni um notkun spjaldtölva í kennslu. Skólinn fékk til afnota þrjátíu spjaldtölvur auk þess sem nemendum bauðst að koma með sín eigin tæki í skólann. Þróunarverkefnið var unnið í samstarfi við upplýsingatæknideild bæjarins og þótti það ganga vel og átti sinn þátt í að vekja áhuga bæjaryfirvalda á að nýta spjaldtölvur í öllum skólum bæjarins.

Í janúar 2014 fóru fulltrúar menntasviðs og upplýsingatæknideildar Kópavogs á The Bett Show í London, árlega tæknisýningu fyrir skólafólk, til að kynna sér strauma og stefnur í upplýsingatækni í skólastarfi. Segja má að þessi heimsókn hafi orðið til þess að sannfæra bæjaryfirvöld endanlega um að skynsamlegt væri að stefna á almenna innleiðingu á spjaldtölvum í grunnskóla bæjarins.

HVER VAR STAÐAN VIÐ UPPHAF INNLEIÐINGAR ÁRIÐ 2015?

Grunnskólar í Kópavogi voru árið 2015 níu talsins og nemendur á því skólastigi um 4.700 talsins. Stærstur var Hörðuvallaskóli með um 770 nemendur og minnstur Kópavogsskóli með rétt rúmlega 300 nemendur. Engir safnskólar eru í Kópavogi heldur eru skólahverfin skipulögð þannig að um 40-50 nemendur verði í árgangi í hverjum skóla eða um 20-25 nemendur í hverri bekkjardeild. Skólarnir höfðu tölvuvæðst um svipað leyti og aðrir skólar á Íslandi og áhugi á upplýsingatækni í skólastarfi risið hátt með þeirri netvæðingu sem varð undir lok síðustu aldar. Efnahagshrun árið 2008 hafði þó sett sitt strik í reikninginn og búnaður við marga skólana orðinn úr sér genginn.

Nánar má lesa um rannsóknir á innleiðingu á búnaði og stöðu tölvunotkunar í grunnskólum á Íslandi áður en fartæknin tók að ryðja sér rúms í bókinni Starfshættir í grunnskólum við upphaf 21. aldar í kafla níu, Upplýsingatækni í skólastarfi.

Almennt voru skólarnir í Kópavogi búnir PC-borðtölvum í svokölluðum tölvuverum þar sem almenn tölvukennsla fór fram. Einnig gátu einstaka kennarar pantað tíma til að fara með nemendahópa í tölvuver og fást þar við ýmis verkefni. Einhvern tölvubúnað til nota við heimildaleit og úrvinnslu upplýsinga gat líka verið að finna á skólasöfnum. Í kennslustofunum var að jafnaði ein borðtölva á kennaraborði til nota fyrir kennara og höfðu nemendur almennt takmarkaðan aðgang að þeim tölvum. Í flestum kennslustofunum voru skjávarpar sem voru tengdir kennaratölvunum og í einstökum skólum voru nokkrar gagnvirkar töflur sem oft eru nefndar snjalltöflur.

Við hvern skóla var oftast að finna einn eða fleiri kennara sem höfðu verið leiðandi um notkun upplýsingatækni í skólastarfinu og nýttu lausa tíma í tölvuverunum þegar færi gafst. Þar sem lítið var um fartölvur, hvað þá spjaldtölvur, var notkun nemenda á tölvutækninni í almennri kennslu nær alveg takmörkuð við tölvuverin.

Þráðlaust net var komið í alla skóla árið 2015 en mismunandi eftir skólum hversu útbreitt það var. Yfirleitt voru þráðlausu sendarnir á göngum skólanna svo netsamband gat verið brokkgengt inni í skólastofunum. Sumir skólanna höfðu orðið sér út um spjaldtölvur en þá í litlum mæli og ekki voru nema fáir kennarar í hverjum skóla sem notuðu þær markvisst.

ÁTAK UM SPJALDTÖLVUVÆÐINGU

Eftir sveitarstjórnarkosningar vorið 2014 var myndaður nýr meirihluti í bæjarstjórn Kópavogs. Eitt af áherslumálum hans var að taka í notkun spjaldtölvur á mið- og unglingastigi grunnskólanna í samvinnu við skólana og starfsfólk þeirra. Það var svo í desember 2014 sem bæjarstjórnin samþykkti fjárhagsáætlun þar sem gert var ráð fyrir 200 milljónum í eflingu upplýsingatækni og kaup og innleiðingu á spjaldtölvum fyrir alla kennara og nemendur á mið- og unglingastigi grunnskóla í bæjarfélaginu. Með þeirri ákvörðun var gengið lengra í spjaldtölvuvæðingu grunnskóla en dæmi voru um að hér á landi. Átakið átti að ná til allra grunnskóla í öðru stærsta sveitarfélagi landsins, til allra kennara og með tímanum allra nemenda á tveimur aldursstigum, frá 5. upp í 10. bekk.

Í ársbyrjun 2015 var svo útboð á spjaldtölvum fyrir alla kennara í Kópavogi og alla nemendur í 8. og 9. bekk auk 300 spjaldtölva til að nota í svokölluð bekkjarsett. Nánar er fjallað um val og útboð á spjaldtölvum á síðunni Spjaldtölvurnar. Á vormánuðum 2015 var ráðinn verkefnastjóri innleiðingarinnar og strax í kjölfarið þrír kennsluráðgjafar til að styðja við innleiðinguna úti í skólunum en nánar er fjallað um það á síðunni Leiðsögn, ráðgjöf og stefnumótun.

Til hægðarauka verður hér á vefnum notað heitið Spjaldtölvuverkefnið um þetta átak og þennan hóp verkefnastjóra og kennsluráðgjafa enda bar sá hópur hitann og þungann af innleiðingunni, lagði línur og hélt utan um verkefnið í samráði við bæjaryfirvöld og skólana.

Oftentimes we can see failure, particularly in exams, as negative - one of the worst things we can allow students to experience. But what if we allow students to fail in a safe space and make learning a personal endeavor?

Sphero News Amanda Vaden

February is Black History Month, an important time to recognize the challenges and injustices Black people have faced throughout history and into today. It's also a time to celebrate and honor the many notable changemakers of color, especially those of which we can thank for pioneering the way through influential discoveries in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).

At School Sphero Team

Unplugged coding is teaching coding concepts without using devices. It is learning how to code without writing lines of code. When coding unplugged, students use their knowledge to work on computational challenges that will help them understand the concepts they'll use in coding projects.

Fixperts

Fixperts is a learning programme that challenges young people to use their imagination and skills to create ingenious solutions to everyday problems for a real person. In the process they develop a host of valuable transferable skills from prototyping to collaboration.

Fixperts offers a range of teaching formats to suit schools and universities, from hour-long workshops, to a term-long project, relevant to any creative design, engineering and STEM/STEAM studies.

Got 2 minutes? Watch our intro film

Access our FREE teaching resources and join the global Fixperts community

We offer free resources to run a one off project at your school or university or a range of packages to develop Fixperts in your institution.

Know someone who might be interested in teaching Fixperts? Share this page!

What is Fixperts?

Fixperts is a simple framework for teaching a human-centred design process in schools and universities. We provide teaching resources and training to enable educators worldwide to take advantage of its compelling nature.

Why is Fixperts popular?

Fixperts appeals to anyone who is looking for purpose and meaning in the application of their creativity and skills - that means most people!

Educators like Fixperts because it's:

Learners like Fixperts because it's:

We have been developing our Fixperts programme in schools since 2016. A Fixperts project offers students the opportunity to engage with problems taken from the world around them and work in teams to research and develop solutions, sketch out ideas, model prototypes, and make a final product.

Fixperts integrates design & technology, engineering thinking and practical making skills and allows students to develop their creative skills through hands on model making whilst learning to improve their ideas through feedback. Most importantly students develop their creative problem solving skills through identifying, analysing and experiencing real problems seen in the world.

"An inspiring and practical session. The workshop helped me re-evaluate how I teach the design process and I will definitely be using Fixperts' techniques with all age groups."

Teacher, Bradley Stoke Community School, Bristol

"...a compelling learning experience. They ALL wanted to improve on their work the next day."

Teacher, King's College School, Wimbledon

"It was fun and creative and great to be able to think for ourselves and work in teams"

Student, Falinge Park High School, Rochdale

Over 25 universities around the world run Fixperts and engage their students by working with real people and real needs. More than half have included it as part of their assessed curriculum.

Fixperts has worked with universities all over the world to instil the next generation of makers with the desire and tools to design for social good.

A Fixperts project asks students to explore the world outside of their classroom walls in order to find people with problems worth fixing. Using their ingenious design, prototyping and making skills, they create solutions that make everyday life a little better for their Fix Partners.

"The engagement with Fixperts has provided a valuable learning experience and a platform to achieve a meaningful social contribution within a local context."

"The eye-level communication with the user is really valuable. You learn a lot about how to communicate with the person you are designing for. This is not so common in other parts of the course."

"One of the big things which is good for the students is the international dimension: sharing, getting your things out there. Students getting 20,000 views. This is massive."

Anyone with imagination and a basic level of making skills can take up the Fixperts challenge. The guidelines are free and all you have to do is put your team together.

Excite creative people with making skills to fix things for others ...

Fixperts embark on a process which engages all their creativity and resourcefulness.

... make a film about it ...

The process includes making a film that documents the process from start to fixed.

... and inspire others to do the same.

People might become Fixperts themselves, or maybe they'll be inspired to solve the next problem they find.

ThinkFun was founded in 1985 by husband and wife team Bill Ritchie and Andrea Barthello. Bill was a born puzzler, so defining his dream company was no challenge, but the 80's were a tough time for toy companies. Retailers were moving away from games, and the Rubik's Cube, which had broken through in the mass market, was losing popularity.

No stranger to a challenge, Andrea vividly remembers the day she pulled up in their driveway and declared, "We can do this!" In the early years, Bill and Andrea's basement served as assembly line, home office, and distribution center, and our first product, the Hexadecimal Puzzle, was born right out of that basement!

Despite humble beginnings, Bill and Andrea founded ThinkFun, originally called Binary Arts, with a noble mission, "To translate the brilliant ideas of the craziest mathematicians, engineers and inventors into simple toys that can be appreciated by boys and girls around the world." We still believe this today.

Over the years, we have strengthened our commitment to creating products that naturally inspire learning, spark creativity, and build problem solving through play. We continue to push into new frontiers with mobile apps, online games, global education programs, even brain research... all this and we're STILL creating incredibly fun, innovative new games!

ThinkFun was founded in 1985 by husband and wife team Bill Ritchie and Andrea Barthello. Bill was a born puzzler, so defining his dream company was no challenge, but the 80's were a tough time for toy companies. Retailers were moving away from games, and the Rubik's Cube, which had broken through in the mass market, was losing popularity.

How to Use Reader Mode in Safari

Open Safari on iPhone and navigate to the page you want to read.

In the URL bar on the left, you'll see a small icon that looks like a paragraph of lines. Tap that to turn on Reader mode. Note that Reader mode is not available on home pages or on every website.

That's it; now you can read your article. I often forget about Reader mode, but it's a feature I really love when I remember to use it. Reader mode makes the text and images center stage, leaving the webpage's design and interruptions out of it.

Makerspace á Íslandi

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
#VEXAedu fékk styrk úr Sprotasjóði til að byggja upp lærdómssamfélag um Makerspaces í grunnskólum á Íslandi. Á bakvið #VEXAedu standa Anna María Þorkelsdóttir, Bjarndís Fjóla Jónsdóttir, Erla Stefánsdóttir, Hildur Rudolfsdóttir, Hugrún Elísdóttir, Rósa Harðardóttir og Þorbjörg Þorsteinsdóttir.

Hvað er Makerspace?
Makerspace gengur undir ýmsum nöfnum hérlendis s.s. snjallsmiðja, hönnunarsmiðja, snillismiðja, gerver eða tilraunaverkstæði.
Hugmyndin byggir á eflingu sköpunar og uppfyllingu á hæfni 21. aldar. Hönnun og sköpun á ekki bara heima í sérstökum kennslustundum, það á heima í öllu námi.

Makerspace er alls konar. Sum er mjög tæknivædd eins og Fab lab. Önnur eru blanda af tækni og föndri og enn önnur bjóða upp á kubba og föndur. Þannig að ein sameiginleg lýsing á þessu fyrirbæri er ekki til en tilgangurinn með þeim öllum er sá sami, að efla sköpunarhæfni notenda og kenna þeim að nýta hana sér til framdráttar í lífinu.

Í mörgum Makerspace rýmum er að finna þrívíddarprentara, föndurefni, tölvur til að hanna og forrita sem og aðrar vélar, svo sem vínylskera og saumavélar en þetta þarf ekki allt að vera til staðar. Makerspace snýst um hugarfar og tilgang verkefnanna, um að læra af mistökum og að læra að vinna eftir ákveðnu hönnunarferli.
