A New Model of Ecological Education
Ecological Education (EcoEd) is a new framework for learning that takes principles from Nature and applies them to the classroom. In EcoEd, Nature is more than just a passive subject for study. It's a dynamic, active participant in the educational process. By using Nature as a model for a healthy, diverse community, teachers can integrate ecological concepts into every part of the curriculum. Along the way, students will experience project-based exploration and gain an understanding and appreciation of Nature, forming their own Ecological Mindset that informs their futures.
The Role of Libraries in Introducing a MakerEd Mindset
As the Maker Movement continues to assert itself as a legitimate form of experiential teaching and learning, more schools are embracing the culture, problem solving, and hands-on learning opportunities that makerspaces provide. Leading the charge in the K-12 area are library makerspaces, which have created brand new ways for students to learn and created brand new responsibilities for many school librarians.

Esports has grown into a billion-dollar industry and created a whole new world of competition. With its skyrocketing popularity, it’s not only making an impact at the professional level, but in high schools and colleges around the world as well. Participating in esports competition allows students to develop real-world communication skills, exposes them to a wealth of potential career opportunities, and can help them find their place within the school community. We’ve outlined some of the factors that go into creating an interscholastic esports program, the hardware needed, benefits of playing, and more.
