This document summarizes a presentation about protecting family farms, legacies, and planning for farm succession. It notes that fewer than 10% of people raised on farms return to farming, and many older farmers are seeking retirement but still rely on farm income. Proper planning is needed to transfer the farm to the next generation while minimizing taxes and ensuring the farm's future viability. The presentation discusses factors to consider like estate taxes, the different entities that can own farms, balancing the needs of farming and non-farming heirs, and ensuring flexibility in plans for changing tax laws. It emphasizes starting succession planning early and involving future generations.
This document discusses energy and wind turbines. It defines energy and lists different types of energy like mechanical, electrical, chemical, and nuclear. It also distinguishes between renewable and non-renewable energy sources. Non-renewables like coal, petroleum and natural gas are discussed along with their environmental impacts. Renewables such as solar, wind, hydro and biomass are also introduced. The document then talks about energy power stations and wind turbines that can generate both electricity and fresh water from humidity in the air.

Cloud computing is a new business model that provides standardized IT services over the internet. There are four models of cloud delivery depending on control and management. The document discusses the types of cloud services, benefits of cloud computing like reduced costs and increased flexibility, criticisms around limited control and dependence on providers, and problematic legal issues surrounding compliance, data protection, jurisdiction, contracts, risk management, and electronic evidence.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.

1) A group of 5th graders in Bangalore, India are studying food choices and traditions around the world as part of a global project.
2) They developed questions for other classrooms to answer to learn about each other. They are also researching factors that influence food choices.
3) The students learned about different dining practices and etiquettes in other cultures, such as which hand to use for eating in Middle Eastern countries.
This document provides information about producers, consumers, food chains, and food webs. It outlines learning outcomes for a session that will define producers and consumers, as well as different types of consumers. It includes tasks that involve identifying food chains and food webs, describing the relationships between organisms, and explaining trophic levels in a marine food web. The session will also cover the processes of photosynthesis and respiration, and how energy and nutrients cycle through ecosystems.
This document describes several local animal species found in South America, including the chinchilla, vicuña, Andean condor, puma, jaguar, spectacled bear, armadillo, llama, ñandu/rhea, and hornero. It provides details about each animal's physical appearance, habitat range, diet, and behaviors. The chinchilla, vicuña, and spectacled bear are endangered due to hunting for their fur or wool. The document aims to educate the reader about the biodiversity of wildlife unique to the Andean mountain and surrounding regions of South America.

This document outlines the objectives and content of a session on 21st century learning skills for Argentine bilingual school teachers. The session aims to define 21st century learning skills, describe a teaching strategy, and create an online community. A poll asks teachers about their century of birth, education, and training for 21st century learners. Partners then discuss the knowledge, skills, and tools needed by 21st century learners, sharing on an online platform. Key 21st century skills identified include new information skills, critical thinking, communication, creativity, reflection, intercultural skills, and references on the topic are provided.

Climate change poses a grave threat to our planet. We must take urgent action by transitioning to renewable energy, adopting more sustainable practices, and pushing governments and corporations to prioritize green policies and innovations. Small individual actions like reducing waste and consumption can make a difference if done collectively on a global scale.
The Amazon rainforest is home to over 1/3 of the world's animal species but is being destroyed at a rate of over 9,000 square miles per year as people clear land for farming and wood. Many animals like sloths, jaguars, and macaws are endangered and could go extinct as their habitats are destroyed and they are killed or trapped for fur and pets. Saving the Amazon rainforest is critical to protecting biodiversity.
The document discusses threats facing wildlife on the African savannah, including elephants being killed for their tusks by humans, zebras lacking food and water as humans occupy the savannah with cattle, and lions having less prey to hunt as zebras and other animals die off from lack of resources. Conservation efforts are needed to save endangered species that call the African savannah home from threats posed by human activity in the region.
The document discusses factors that contributed to the Industrial Revolution happening in Britain in the 18th century. Some key factors mentioned include abundant coal deposits that could be easily mined and transported, providing a crucial energy source; navigable rivers and natural harbors that facilitated trade; colonies that supplied raw materials and demanded finished goods; and technological innovations like Thomas Newcomen's steam engine in 1712 and James Watt's improved version in the 1760s-1770s that helped pump water out of deep coal mines more efficiently and powered other new machines.

1) It discusses CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) being used to teach the IGCSE Environmental Management syllabus integrated with the local Argentine curriculum, using both the Spanish and English languages.
2) It provides an example unit on tropical rainforests that teaches students about different biomes, focusing on features of location, climate, flora, fauna, and human impact, while developing both language and cognitive skills.
3) It describes scaffolding strategies used to support students' language development and content learning, including identifying vocabulary, grammar patterns, discourse functions, and language skills practiced.
This article discusses competencies needed for effective online teaching. It identifies several core competencies including the ability to design instruction for online contexts, facilitate online discussions and group work, and provide timely feedback to students. The article also notes the importance of technical skills as well as competencies for establishing an online presence and community.
The document discusses strategies for engaging lurkers in online discussions. It suggests giving lurkers understanding and support, accepting limited lurking, contacting lurkers, requiring participation through tasks, using teamwork, and asking enthusiastic participants to step back occasionally. Names in parentheses indicate individuals suggesting or agreeing with each strategy.
The document summarizes examples of positive language used in online conversations during weeks 1-3 of a course.
