If you’re a parent of a student, or an educator, or even a student or recent graduate yourself, you’ve likely been hearing a steady drumbeat of “STEM education” for the past 10 years, if not longer. As a whole, US education has really stepped up to incorporate STEM into all aspects of learning; it should be a relief to many parents that these opportunities are now readily available for most kids.

A new MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) offering an in-person twist — local weekly facilitated meetings — debuts next week to help future and current college STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) faculty become better teachers. It is designed to be of special interest to grad students planning to teach professionally. Via Peter Mellow

Según los últimos datos del EUROSTATT el valor de la economía social en la Unión Europea representa el 10 % de su economía de acuerdo al total del PIB de los países miembros. Al mismo tiempo, la economía social crea empleo para más de 11 millones de trabajadores. Estos 11 millones representan el 4,5 % de la población activa en la Unión. Destacan casos como el de Finlandia, Reino Unido o Eslovenia, que a su vez, cuentan con las tasas de crecimiento más estables y significativas, poniendo de relieve que la economía social nacida del emprendimiento es una variable determinante en el crecimiento y en la predicción de bienestar de un país.

El emprendimiento social es el sustrato base de la economía social, y la economía social crece y genera beneficios para la Unión Europea alcanzando objetivos que tienen un impacto social posicionando su visión y misión por encima de la generación de beneficios para los propietarios y accionistas. En los procesos de emprendimiento social las cuentas de superávit se aprovechan, fundamentalmente, para alcanzar los objetivos sociales. Por otro lado, los empresarios sociales destacan por su carácter responsable, transparente e innovador, en especial mediante la implicación de los trabajadores, los clientes y todos aquellos a los que afecta su actividad. Para todo emprendedor social, el objetivo principal de su proyecto es convertirse en una empresa social capaz de generar un impacto significativo sobre la sociedad, el medio ambiente y la comunidad local. La Comisión ha desarrollado toda una serie de iniciativas transversal para impulsar el emprendimiento social que van desde sus proyectos educativos, hasta sus políticas de Acción Social, Empleo, Trabajo o también Empresa y Movilidad. En este artículo te mostramos las principales para que puedas acercarte a todas ellas de un vistazo y elegir la que mejor se adapta a tu situación.

Nanowire field-effect sensors show significant advantages of real-time, label-free and highly sensitive detection of a wide range of analytes in liquid phase, including proteins, nucleic acids, small molecules, and viruses in single-element or multiplexed formats. Motivated by the unique features of these sensors and the ease to integrate them in the currently available VLSI technology, researchers used molecularly modified silicon nanowire FETs to detect volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that are associated with environmental pollution, quality control, explosive materials, or various diseases.

No los he revisado todos (sí he revisado que no haya enlaces rotos), naturalmente, ni su inclusión aquí supone ningún tipo de valoración por mi parte, eso es algo que dejo a cada uno de los lectores.

En este interesante artículo, Sara Vierna concluye que "si queremos ver mujeres ocupando puestos de alta responsabilidad en las instituciones, mujeres referentes en los campos científico-tecnológicos y mujeres liderando proyectos de gran envergadura, necesitamos educar en igualdad y potenciar un juego diverso que no limite y que por el contrario favorezca el desarrollo integral de unas y de otros. Nosotras merecemos al fin saborear el placer del protagonismo y ellos recuperar el mundo de los afectos y de los cuidados del que fueron apartados." ¿Y si fomentamos en los niños estas posibilidades?, permitiendo que jueguen sin estereotipos ni clichés, podría ser un buen comienzo.

What are the real benefits of a maker-centered approach to learning? It’s often described as a way to incubate STEM skills or drive technical innovation — and it is probably both of these. But as a new report from Project Zero’s Agency by Design concludes, the real value of maker education has more to do with building character than with building the next industrial revolution.

Jackie Gerstein has created a new website that explores the Maker Movement. If this is an area that you would like to explore you will find 10 areas that you can explore: * Paper Circuits * Squishy Cirtuits * Bare Conductive Paint * Sew Electrics * Operation Game * Toy Take Apart * Soldering Projects * LittleBits * Makey Makey * Hummingbird Robotics Each of these areas leads to a webpage and the ones I checked out included a number of videos to help you understand the topic as well as some documentation and additional resources. She also includes a brief video that helps you understand what the Maker Movement is (and you hear from learners involved in a number of projects). In addition there is a ThingLink (based on the image above) that provides links to additional resources. The Maker Movement provides learners with opportunities to create something that is new to them. It is authentic learning and learners will go through iterations as they work through the process, and potentially experience failure that will help them become successful.

Google has invented a new smart contact lens with an integrated camera. By virtue of being part of the contact lens, the camera would naturally follow your gaze, allowing for a huge range of awesome applications, from the basis of a bionic eye system for blind and visually impaired people, through to early warning systems (the camera spots a hazard before your brain does), facial recognition, and superhuman powers (telescopic and infrared/night vision). In related news, Google Glass is publicly available today in the US for one day only (still priced at $1500). Learn more: Via Gust MEES

"At its simplest, a flipped format can involve a teacher inviting students to view YouTube videos at home as a preview to the day's topic. At its most rigorous, a flipped curriculum involves teachers writing, producing, directing, editing, and posting their own original lessons -- complete with custom narrations and visualizations -- via third-party applications."

Won Ho :<생각이 깊은 교수님의 글이라서 연구해봐야겠다.> Why should the video watching previous to in-class? The core is quality video access and intensive in-class interaction. The lecture can't complete with these superb ones. 꼭 뒤집어야만 하는가? 내게 플립러닝의 핵심은 수준 높은 비디오와 강력한 상호작용이다. 순서와 방식은 여러 가지가 가능하다. 선생님이 개념 설명 행위는 여기 비디오를 보면 조만간 사라질 게 당연해 보인다.
