User:Cormaggio/Block on JWSchmidt

Reflections by Cormaggio on the block on JWSchmidt. Discussion is very welcome on the talk page.

Some historical context
I have worked with John for over three years - firstly around getting Wikiversity set up as a distinct Wikimedia project, and subsequently working on its development. It was the two of us who were instrumental in getting the project off the ground - through a lot of discussion around what Wikiversity should be and do, as well as frustration with the overall process in getting it set up. Both myself and John have always shared deeply similar visions of Wikiversity - always arguing for an open and inclusive scholarly space, not limited to a repository of resources, but having a participative structure to facilitate peer learning. How Wikiversity facilitates learning has always been one of the central questions around its existence - it has been always been in confusion, for example when the board of trustees sent back for clarification an earlier proposal for Wikiversity, seeking clarification on its learning model. We (myself, others, but particularly John) spent almost a full year defining Wikiversity with that vision in mind, and allowing for a flexible structure that would include different models of learning, and different types of learners (of all ages and levels) - with the fundamental aim of figuring out how learning works in this wiki space, and how we could best facilitate learning processes of all kinds (for example, self-study, teaching, participative peer learning...), again, in the context of it taking place in a wiki. At the time of launching, the approved proposal was still (deliberately) quite vague in parts - there was no particular learning model explicitly approved - and so emphasised the experimental nature of developing Wikiversity as a space for learning, and as a learning project to figure out how to do so, which Jimmy Wales alluded to in his announcement of Wikiversity's launch at Wikimania 2005 in Harvard. (His "yay!" at the end was in response to my own "woo!" from the back of the room, which you unfortunately can't hear in the audio!)

Since launching, the people working on Wikiversity (many who have come and gone over the last two years) have been trying to figure out good structures and models for content and for learning. John has been very influential in proposing Learning by doing as Wikiversity's learning model, and inscribing it within the many projects/pages he's developed over the years. I'm very much in favour of this model in many ways - however, judging by the comments and questions I've seen on Colloquium and other pages, I don't think we've done enough to explain to newcomers how it works, how they can learn by doing in a wiki way, and whether there are other ways in which they could learn productively. (I've set up a discussion group and a reading group to clarify what we mean by evoking particular learning models, and figuring out how they can be variously used - though these groups have not been so active.) There has, however, been a lot of activity to document what kinds of resources Wikiversity is creating; to help people create particular types of resources; and to help people evaluate particular resources - this work has been spearheaded by McCormack, particularly at Being educational (originally called "Wikiversity:Learning resources"). John has been critical of McCormack's work, and wrote a critique on its talk page, which generated some further discussion (though John didn't respond directly on that page). If I could characterise the underlying theme of the discussion here in a sentence, it would be: "Wikiversity is a pluralistic and experimental space - but methods of facilitating, evaluating and promoting high-quality resources are sometimes in tension with including everything and anything within Wikiversity." John's perspective here strongly echoes his perspective on the deletion of resources, which he sees as the product of a culture of "deletionism".

Events leading to the block
John's perspective on deletionism, and his tension with McCormack, came to a head when McCormack expressed his frustration on the Colloquium. Subsequent activity by John led SB_Johnny to post a notice to custodians. I raised some general concerns on the Colloquium, and made a first attempt to deal with the problems in the Learning from conflict and incivility project. After some discussion on John's talk page, a lengthy review was posted, which was drafted/proofread by myself, McCormack, SB_Johnny, and Mu301 (Mikeu). After following John's responses on-wiki and on IRC, myself, Mike and Johnny decided to request John's custodial tools be removed, and for him to be blocked from editing Wikiversity (except, obviously, for his talk page) - both as temporary measures.

Some of this is related to Moulton's activity in Wikiversity, which has been problematic (see User:Cormaggio/Moulton's block), and has caused division and confusion within the community over what is appropriate and inappropriate in Wikiversity. John has been a strong friend and ally of Moulton since returning from a period of relative inactivity - and some of John's activity that I view as inappropriate was unquestionably influenced by his friendship with Moulton (eg. composing satirical songs about other editors). Overall, what troubled me most was the way he has characterised other people's motives (especially of those he has seen as 'deletionists') - which I think has been unfair, and sometimes uncivil, and about which quite a few people have expressed or indicated hurt, or anger.

The block
I have been extremely bothered by the block on John from the very beginning. It's something that I had never even imagined would be necessary (and whether it was, indeed, "necessary" is in dispute) - particularly towards John, who has been so influential to me, and others. What the block attempted to do was to force John to take a step back from his previous editing, and reflect on what had been raised as problematic by various Wikiversity editors. It was a block without a timespan, since the idea was to focus on the behaviour flagged in the review and previous discussions - and the purpose was to develop guidelines that would mitigate against the type of activity that was seen to be problematic. With this in mind, for the duration of the block, I have had a discussion with John on his talk page about the block, and events leading up to it - and SB_Johnny has done likewise (see here and here - both lengthy discussions!).

But the block itself was also problematic - mainly for being done by a sub-group of individuals (myself, Mike and Johnny - specifically bureaucrats), taking apparently unilateral action, ie not with the explicit support of the community. (This group had been working closely together since the 'drama' around Moulton's participation had escalated to the point where he was blocked by Jimmy Wales - another 'unilateral' action, though one which arguably had more support, or at least partial sympathy, within the community.) In terms of community opinion on John's block (as distinct from John's activity), I observed mixed reactions - mainly opposition or silence on-wiki (see initial reaction and subsequent Community Review), and a mixture of support and opposition on IRC. At least three people left Wikiversity or went on wikibreak around that time - Erkan, McCormack, and Dark Mage. I think it's fair to say that the block itself caused substantial community damage. And even though various people have brought John's activity into question, I think it was fair for Johnny to conclude, after some time had elapsed, that the block was itself "causing disruption". (However, this is not to say that I feel the block was unjustified - which I still think it was, based purely on the rationale of it being a tool - albeit a blunt and imperfect one - for forced reflection.)

I have also been very bothered about some of the things John has said, and some of the ways he has comported himself, during the blocking period. I have perceived him to have been quite hostile towards me in our discussion, or at least not listening in good faith to what I actually had to say (despite his denials of this). John adopted what I took to be a pretty sneering tone to both myself and Johnny - perhaps on the basis of feeling aggrieved, possibly even patronised (I don't fully know). But I do feel he actually treated the discussion as a "standoff" (his words, directed at our joint activity), a case of attack, defence, and/or counter-attack. This particularly disappointed me, since I never wanted to attack John (in fact, I have been holding back - biting my lip - a huge amount); instead, I wanted to show him how he has made other people feel. I have probably failed in this regard, so far. After such lengthy discussion, I am still left unsure whether John realises the extent of which he has hurt other people, or whether he recognises the extent or nature of his own role in conflicts. But I'm also not sure if the review confused more than it clarified, or did more harm than good - and whether it set John off on 'defence mode' rather than mutual understanding, which was the genuine intention.

But underpinning this whole episode is the fact that Wikiversity has always been a very diverse space, and as yet largely undefined - which is the reason I've included so much "historical" context in this reflection. Efforts to define Wikiversity are bound up with often very strong viewpoints about what Wikiversity should be - and these are not always mutually compatible (though, I would argue that in some of the cases around which there has been conflict, there has not always been a complete incompatibility). And Wikiversity has developed so far on the basis of often tacit, unspoken understandings, that are not necessarily shared by all participants - so that, when ideas come into conflict, there is not always a clear means of resolving the issue. (Discussion is obviously central to a wiki - but there's nothing inherent in 'discussion' that guarantees shared understanding or consensus.)

So, the main thing that is troubling me - apart, obviously from having had such a trenchant and stressful conflict with a long-standing colleague - is whether 'unilateral' or 'bold' administrative action of this kind is ever justified; and if not, what can be done to mitigate community damage when policies are not in place to help the community to prevent this damage. Also: is it realistic to "force" someone to reflect (and is a block the best way of doing so)? And also, of course: what kinds of policies do we need in order to help us navigate the recent kinds of conflicts, and related ones, if and when they occur? Answers on a postcard to... the talk page. :-) I would really appreciate any comments, questions, and/or criticisms you have about anything I have written about here - or, indeed, what you feel I may have left out. Thanks for reading. Cormaggio talk 23:25, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

Web 2.0 for Professional Use/Blogs and Blogging/Blog Hosts

Blogger
Blogger is an easy-to-use weblogging platform operated by Google. If you already have a Gmail account, or use any other Google services or applications, you can use your Google username or OpenID to login to the service.

Blogger offers a multiplicity of templates to build a unique website. From simple minimalist design to complex themes, your blog can be as uncluttered or content-rich as you want. The Blogger platform also offers various usability features like user polls, slideshows, videos, pictures, and even Google Adsense advertisements if desired along with many third-party applications.

Intuitive and fully-functional, Blogger is among the best free tools on the web for weblog publishing.

Using Blogger
When creating a new blog, Blogger takes a very methodical and simple approach to getting your first site up and running. Blogger makes this into a three-step process; I will flesh out this process for disambiguation:
 * 1) Sign in or sign up using your Google Account or OpenID
 * 2) Next, name your blog and choose your web address. The basic settings will force you to host your weblog in Blogger with the web address http:// _________.blogspot.com.  You also have the option to utilize the advanced setting tab and host your site outside of Blogger, with any host, using any web address.
 * Now, its time to actually design your blog. You may choose from 16 predefined templates, most of which have further customizable elements within the theme.  You may also change the layout of page here.
 * 1) Your page as been made! Now all you have to do is add whatever content you want.

For the professional
If you need to complete a collaborative project, Blogger allows up to 100 different authors to contribute to a group blog.

Squarespace
Squarespace is a unique blogging platform ideally suited for the professional out to create a distinctive blog. What sets Squarespace apart from the competition is its new, robust design system that personifies the advancements of Web 2.0. With Squarespace, every feature of a blog’s design can be tweaked with intuitive drop-down menus. That means anyone can alter any aspect of their blog’s appearance – layout, navigation, colors, fonts – without any coding knowledge whatsoever (though editing the code manually is still an option).

Squarespace provides blogs for over 20 million users. Notable websites powered by Squarespace include the personal websites of Marc Ecko and e-personalities Kevin Rose and Alex Albrecht.

Pricing
Squarespace offers 5 separate pricing plans. The basic plan costs $8 per month and includes 1GB of storage space and 75GB of bandwidth per month.

Features
Squarespace offers a wide range of features that allow for extensive customization of any web page. These include:
 * 60 ready-made professionally-designed templates
 * Point-and-click menu system for manipulation of every aspect of a site's design
 * Full CSS access
 * 99.98% uptime
 * Built-in blogging system
 * Built-in photo gallery
 * Membership permission system
 * Custom-built WYSIWYG editor
 * Stat tracking

Using Squarespace
Squarespace offers a 14-day, no-strings-attached free trial that requires only an email address. Once a registered member of Squarespace, members can begin to build their blog using the intuitive Squarespace GUI. Squarespace's website also features a manual for new users, video tutorials and an FAQ to answer more complex questions.

For the professional
Squarespace is packed with more features and options than any free blogging host, and is an optimum solution for the professional looking to create a unique blog. The only downside to Squarespace is its $8, $14, $20, $30, or $50 monthly fee. Professionals creating a blog for the first time would be satisfied with the Basic plan, but those wishing to support multiple users or take advantage of some of Squarespace's more advanced features will need to pick a more expensive package. Squarespace is recommended for those professionals who already have a clear goal in mind for their website or blog; those just learning and experimenting in the blogging world would be better suited by a free blog host.

Tumblr
A "Tumblelog" is a simple, streamlined blog that aims to let users post content - text, photos, quotes, links, chats, audio, video, etc. - as quickly and easily as possible. Tumblr is unique for its accessibility, as well as how fully it embraces posts of all media, and how it connects users through its "follow" and "reblog" features. You can pick different ready-made themes for your Tumblr, or more advanced users can customize their design with HTML. When you sign up with and log in to Tumblr, you have a dashboard, which is a live feed displaying recent posts from all the Tumblr users you follow. You can "follow" any Tumblelog, which makes their posts automatically display on your dashboard. Also, you can "Reblog" any post into your own Tumblelog, which makes that user's post display in your own Tumblr along with an attribution to the original Tumblr (or several attributions, depending on how popular that post becomes). If users add content of their own to the original post, that content shows up as a "note" at the bottom of that post.

Pricing
Tumblr is completely free for all users, and there are no specified space limits yet. However, the developers have expressed intent on their Help page that they may offer additional, advanced options for a certain price in the future.

Features
Every design aspect of a user's Tumblr is customizable using HTML. Users can also import posts from up to five other sites, and a user can be logged into Tumblr in up to five different browsers without having to re-login. This is ideal for those who want to access Tumblr from several machines, like a laptop, a desktop computer, and a mobile phone, simultaneously. The Goodies page lists some special features,like the ability to post instantaneously from a mobile phone by sending a text message/photo to fraifried26@tumblr.com. Tumblr has no comments feature built into it, but users can add that feature using code from Disqus.

Using Tumblr
Upon login, the user goes to the Dashboard, which displays recent posts from all the Tumblelogs that user follows, in reverse chronological order from top to bottom, with each post in a separate block. At the top of the dashboard are several links for making a new post, depending what kind of media it is: Text, Photo, Quote, Link, Chat, Audio, or Video. Tumblr places a limit on only one audio post per day. There is also a link where the user can view all the Tumblelogs he follows, and from there, how many Tumblrs are following him.

For the professional
Tumblr, because of its immediate, bite-sized nature, is not as oriented toward professional use as other blogs like Wordpress or Squarespace. But some professionals use Tumblr as a blog to complement their business, like Marco Arment's Instapaper blog, or local musician Allison Weiss's A Day in the Life of Allison Weiss. For now, Tumblr seems to be a good fit for professional writers who already have their primary online presence (web site, portfolio or blog) but want to supplement that with a little extra content, or discover other writers/Tumblrs, especially because Tumblr makes it so easy for users to track the popularity of posts they make. Tumblr is probably the most social-network-oriented blogging platform available.

WordPress
WordPress is an open-source blogging application that allows its users to generate their blogs via a simplistic content manager. The basic format of the manager is similar to Google’s Blogger, featuring a “dashboard” from which the user may edit, delete, or add posts on multiple blogs. However, WordPress surpasses its rival in design options and statistical monitoring. The site currently boasts around 4,500,000 blogs, some notable users being Newsweek’s technology columnist Dan Lyons and Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling. CNN’s Political Ticker and People Magazines’ Style Watch are also hosted off WordPress’ technology.

Pricing
Creating a blog is free at WordPress.com. This option comes with a 3GB of space and a variety of features such as an integrated statistics system and spell check.

A premium package is also available for those needing more space. You can add 5 GB for $20/year, 15 GB for $50/year, or 25 GB for $90/year. Only premium users are allowed access to CSS customization and remote hosting however.

Features
WordPress offers many innovative features for its free users:

 * 75 templates that tend to be wider, spare designs with greater flexibility.
 * Option to add pages within a blog
 * Option to import entries or entire blogs from another service such as Livejournal or Blogger
 * Support for plugins and widgets, including calendars
 * A tagging system
 * A monitor that tracks the number of site visits and comments posted.

Using WordPress
One’s blog on WordPress is managed via a top navigation bar that only shows up when logged in. The top deck accesses your account, your “dashboard,” and a ‘new post’ option. The bottom deck features the tabs: write, manage, design, comments and upgrades. Below that is your ‘dashboard’ which displays your total posts, drafts, tags, and various other statistics.

For the professional
WordPress is an ideal launching pad for a novice blogger due its user-friendly organization and aesthetic appeal. Also, the tagging system optimizes exposure to a wider audience. For experienced users, the site allows for remote hosting and offers advanced design options, including customizing CSS and the option to create more pages within a blog.

Thus, a portfolio or professional blog can be mocked up in WordPress as easily as an online journal. And though embedding videos from an outside source such as YouTube is relatively simple, uploading photos takes a little more time than Blogger. However the placement options are exactly the same. Whereas a site such as Tumblr is multimedia based, WordPress facilitates text more than other media.

Facebook
Facebook is a social network that puts primacy on user profiles. However, Facebook may be a viable option for your business depending on your audience and the manner of your business. Bars, clubs, companies dealing in promotions, and others are among the most commonplace businesses utilizing the Facebook platform. Facebook is a great option for free advertising and promotion as well as those companies with a youthful audience.

If you are looking to create an internal company-wide website for employees, Facebook may also be an appealing option. You may limit the viewership of your company’s Facebook profile to members, allowing you to create a site where only members can participate. Perhaps the biggest drawback to Facebook is that participants must be members of the Facebook community and have personal profiles. Personal profiles collating with workplace politics may pose privacy and human-resources problem.

Read more about Facebook in the Social media section.

Myspace
MySpace is another social network with limited utility for professionals. Because anyone can make a profile and participate with your site, Myspace is another questionable platform that may not benefit professional web writers.

As the largest social network, MySpace reaches a large audience. Various clubs, organizations, stores—apparel and otherwise, and musicians use MySpace for promotion and even selling goods (either through paypal or ebay links). Keep in mind that MySpace has a youth-leaning audience.

Read more about Myspace in the Social media section.

Platforms to avoid
Xanga and LiveJournal allow users to create personal weblogs. The majority of LiveJournal and Xanga users are high-school students: most of these blogs are personal diaries posted online. Do not use these tools as a platform for professional web writing. The connotations associated with these platforms will damage the credibility you may try to present to your audience.

Web 2.0 for Professional Use/Blogs and Blogging/Web hosting

Choosing a domain name
The first step in creating a professional website is choosing an appropriate domain name. For a website meant to serve as a home for your personal blog, portfolio, resume and contact information, your full name is a good place to start. Creating a domain should be like naming a business: a straightforward, easy-to-remember name will insure that visitors don't forget the name of your website. Of course, creativity can be equally effective. Judge your audience and name your website accordingly.

Every domain registrar will allow you to check and see if a domain name is available to be registered. Though there are many top-level domains to choose from, but there is little reason to choose an extension other than .com for a personal website.

Where to register
There's no one clear answer as to the best place to go to register a domain name. Be wary of sites that offer low prices - make sure you're getting a deal, and not getting shoddy service. Many web hosts will also register a domain name for you, along with your hosting account.

Below are some commonly-used domain name registrars.
 * GoDaddy
 * Yahoo!
 * Moniker
 * Name
 * Dominioweb
 * INC
 * Tecnoinver
 * HostingLatam

Choosing a web host
As with domain name registrars, there is no definitive answer as to the single best web host. Most hosts will offer shared hosting, where your website is stored on a remote server along with other websites. While this does not offer you as many options as VPS (Virtual Private Server) hosting or dedicated hosting, it is the most cost-effective solution for a small or personal website.

Social psychology (psychology)/Assessment/E-portfolio/Marking criteria

3}}/Marking criteria|Marking criteria
Marking will reflect two criteria:
 * 1) Regularity/continuity (33.3%)
 * 2) Depth/insightfulness (66.6%)

Regularity/continuity

 * 1) Regularity refers to demonstrating a consistent and continuous engagement throughout the unit. The idea is to encourage and reward ongoing, regular participation in, and reflection upon, the unit's learning activities (e.g., lectures, tutorials, readings, and assessment tasks).
 * 2) Note that regularity isn't necessarily about the date of posting, but rather about providing evidence of engagement (via reflection) across and throughout the unit's learning activities.

Depth/insightfulness

 * 1) Depth refers to the extent of one's engagement (thinking, questioning, reading, researching, etc.) in the unit's learning activities. Length/size of contributions may be an indicator, but more important is the quality and depth of demonstrated engagement.
 * 2) There isn't a set way you to demonstrate this, but the following might be indicative: length, quality, references, links, ideas, opinions, discussion, images etc.
 * 3) Note that additional contributions that you make to Wikiversity outside of your user page plus contributions to the discussion list will also be considered as part of your e-portfolio (because it demonstrates engagement), however such participation is optional and an HD-level e-portfolio could be written without such participation.

Rubric
This marking rubric offers generic qualitative descriptions of likely reports types for each grade:

User talk:Cormaggio/Block on JWSchmidt

Thank you
Thank you for this thoughtful essay. It has helped me to understand the situation better. As for a solution ... well, ... the best suggestion I have to offer is "peace, love, and understanding". Realistically, you can't make others understand; you just have to be understanding yourself and forgive others for being as imperfect as oneself is. WAS 4.250 08:57, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks WAS - that's nice feedback. :-) I totally agree with your sentiment - I am generally a tolerant, forgiving, open-minded person, trying to see things from other people's point of view, and deeply aware of the human condition. But, of course, I'm human too - so I definitely fall short of my own personal ideals - as I have done here at times. Cormaggio talk 09:29, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Appreciated reading this. Towards the end, you touched on a concept I'm actually planning on starting up as a learning project here at Wikiversity (it's the bottom of the Primary list). The Jade Knight (d'viser) 09:45, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
 * That's a pretty behaviourist title, Michael. :-) But it reminds me - I need to read up on my Foucault... Cormaggio talk 14:52, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
 * You misread me: I'm not behaviorist in the slightest. I was actually thinking about applying a little bit of a sociological perspective on the de facto methods currently being employed, and question why they are or are not appropriate for a venue such as Wikiversity.  I have too much on my plate, mefears.  The Jade Knight (d'viser) 21:15, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I didn't intend to call you behaviourist - I was trying to say that the page title strongly indicated behaviourism. I think it's an interesting sounding project... Cormaggio talk 21:44, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, I consider myself a Mentalist, and so I have a bit of a knee-jerk reaction to seeing the word "behaviorist" used in my direction. I didn't take offense, though, so you don't need to apologize.  I meant the project concept simply as a way of exploring what what we are currently doing and why (and what we could be doing).  The Jade Knight (d'viser) 07:01, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

Comments on Cormaggio's Reflections
Moulton has made the following Comments on Cormaggio's Reflections. It seems to me that perhaps we might all agree that recent events which culminated in blocking without transparent community discussion and clear consensus do not represent the ideal for how a community-run wiki project such as this can succeed. Much good might still be done by reviewing the incidents, redressing wrongs, and adapting policy and practice for better handling in the future. -- Jtneill - Talk - c 10:18, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks James - I'd like to hear more about what you would like to see addressed. :-) I've started a thread on Colloquium, in which I hope to start making some concrete steps towards "better handling in the future". Cormaggio talk 14:47, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called PhD. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name PhD~enwikiversity that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:41, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Archaeological Field Methods

Basic Introduction
Archaeology is a vast subject area, but this page aims to give an overview on the practical field methods in archaeology. It is hoped that it will become a handbook for archaeologists.

What is archaeology?
Archaeology has been defined as the "study of The word archaeology comes from ancient Greek, meaning "the study of the beginning."

What are field archaeology methods?
Introduction to non evasive archeological surveying. This involves the use of a magnetometer which test the conductivity of an area. Spikes from the lower end of you're base line typically indicate that you have found an archeological site and is a good place to begin your search. For instance say you have a general base line at 50 miligaughs and either gradually or all at once it jumps to 100 chances are you just found a habitation site from possibly 30 years ago or who knows maybe 30,000 ybp. This is where you begin other field tactics.

Project management and Planning excavation
In archaeological excavation English Heritage produced a model of scientific management which is referred to as Management of Archaeological Projects MAP. This document gives the archaeologist clearly defined phases to follow in the organisation of their excavation work. There are five phases: Phase 1 Project Planning Phase 2 Fieldwork Phase 3 Assessment of potential for analysis Phase 4 Analysis and report preparation Phase 5 Dissemination Reference Andrews, G 1991 Management of archaeological projects, London, English Heritage.

Hey,

My name is Veronika P, I am 21 years old and I come from Bavaria, Germany. I live in Eichstaett and study there in order to become a primary school teacher, as well as a school psychologist.

I'm looking forward to working on the projects of our "Internet and Project Competence"-course, because I want to learn more about primary school education in other countries like the USA or Bulgaria.

The topic I've chosen to work on is called "types of instruction and learning theories". If you are also interested in this topic, you find a link to the discussion forum down below on my wiki-page!

Hi! My name is Desi. I live in Sofia, Bulgaria. I have studied Germanistics and at the moment I do my master in E-learning.

Thanks to the Erasmus Programme I got the opportunity to come to Eichstätt and study at the Catholic University here. Eichstätt is a beautiful place. If you like small romantic towns with baroque atmosphere and more churches than shops you will love Eichstätt too. Unfortunaly my English is worse than my German, but I will try to give my best :). On the picture you can see a view from the beautiful garden of the Wilibaldsburg (a white castle on a hill in Eichstätt) to the city.

Hey!! My name is Ashley Marlowe. I have lived in North Carolina for all of my life. Before I moved to Charlotte to go to UNCC I lived in a small rural town that has about four stop lights. The move to Charlotte was a big shock but I am loving the city life now. I am currently a junior at UNCC and cannot believe how fast time has flown in college. I have always wanted to be an elementary school teacher. I think I decided this when I was in Kindergarten. To be so close to finally graduating is so crazy to me,but very exciting.

Besides being an Elementary School teacher, I have always dreamed of traveling the world. I think seeing all the beautiful places and scenes would be absolutely amazing. The places I most want to visit are Europe, Australia and the small beautiful towns there.

Hi! My name is Meredith McGuirt and I am 22 years old. Here is a little piece of what I am all about...

For starters I am in school at UNC Charlotte and I work a part-time job at Hickory Grove Daycare; both of which take up a lot of my time. I have always wanted to teach and cannot wait to finish this degree! I am engaged to be married in May of 2009 and love spending time with my finance. I also enjoy hanging out with my family and friends whenever I have a free moment...which doesn't seem to be often these days. I attend Kinetic Church and love Jesus with all of my heart! I am realizing more everyday what a blessing this life is. Every breath is a gift; everyday a new beginning.

Interests
Growing my relationship with Jesus, date nights with Justin, having fun and meaningful conversations over a nice cup of Starbucks coffee (decaf please!), being crazy with Lyss and Blair, spending time with friends, making *new* friends, playing with kids, scrapbooking (when I have time), organizing, cleaning (yes, i love it!), and the list could probably go on and on.

Favorite Music
Lifehouse, Brooke Fraser, Jack Johnson, Mercy Me, John Mayer, Third Day, Hillsong, Colbie Caillat, Hanson (always), Chris Tomlin, Keith Urban Hootie and the Blowfish, Paramore...to name a few.

Things to Live by
"True spirituality does not make me significant, but peaceful and joyful."

"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11

"The joy of the Lord is my strength." Nehemiah 1:8

"What time I am afraid, I will trust in Thee." Psalm 56:3

I wanted to become a teacher because I love working with children and have always wanted my profession to be geared towards working with kids. Currently I work at a After-School Program in a local school here in Charlotte and have been doing so for 3 years. I enjoy it there and think that it is a good learning expereince for what I will have to deal with in about another year. From this project I am hoping to learn a lot about German and Bulgarian education and how it is similar and different with our own education system. I think that this will be a spectacular learning experience and I hope that one day I will be able to do an activity like this with my class.''

Favorite Quotes
~Nobody on my own, But someone with Jesus...

 * Please be patient, God isn't finished with me yet.

 * "Eventually all the pieces fall into place. Until then, laugh at the confusion, live for the moment, and know that in the end, everything happens for a reason

Laugh when you can, Apologize when you should, and Let Go of what you can't change...

When you look down from that far away sky; If I'm looking up, you'll probably see a tear in my eye, Not from sadness, if that's what you thought; But from thinking about all the love and happiness you brought, I'm not saying goodbye because I'll see you soon; But until then, Lord, Please feed my daddy love with a silver spoon."

Notes for Oct. 6, 2008
Connectivity Array "conn"

Consider the two bar truss system:

In this diagram the relationship between the local and global nodes can be seen. These relations are stored in the "connectivity array" in our Matlab Code:

$$ conn = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 \\ 2 & 3 \\ \end{bmatrix} $$

$$conn(e,j)=$$ global node number of local node $$j$$ at element $$e$$

Location Matrix Master Array "lmm"

The Location Matrix Master Array stores the equation number for the element stiffness coefficient at each local degree of freedom

$$ lmm = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 \\ 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 \\ \end{bmatrix} $$

$$lmm(i,j)=$$ equation number (global degree of freedom #) for element stiffness coefficient to the $$j$$th local degree of freedom number $$i$$

HW: Modify the Matlab code for the two bar truss to solve the 3 bar truss system:

--

Back to pg 12: Method 2 to derive k(e)

-transform a system with 4 degrees of freedom into a system also with 4 degrees of freedom (as opposed to 2) so that the transform matrix is now 4x4 and hopefully invertible.

I grew up in Charlotte, NC and missed it very much when I left for school at ASU. I am an elementary education major and intend on getting my masters in school administration after I have taught for a few years. I come from a big family, I am the oldest of four children and I have two sisters and one brother. All of my immediate family lives her in Charlotte, NC for now. I am pretty sure I would like to teach first grade. I have spent a lot of time in first grade classrooms this year and love being around kids that age.

Greetings! My name is Ashley and I am from Denver, North Carolina. I have a pretty small family including a brother and sister, and my parents. I am the baby of the family, so I tend to get away with things most of the time. In my free time I love going to the beach or heading up the mountains for a snowboarding trip. For the first time I was able to travel out of the country and that was this summer to Montego Bay, Jamaica. It was very different than anything I have ever experienced. I was there a little under a week and by the end of the trip I was speaking "yea mon" to everyone. It seemed like a very laid back country. Growing up I was introduced to French as a second language, however, I grew more of an interest in speaking Spanish. I am not as up to date on Spanish as I would like to be,but I can certainly make my way through a conversation if needed. I am currently a full time student at University of North Carolina at Charlotte, working towards my degree in Elementary education! This is something that I have always wanted to do since I was a little girl.

Hey! My name is Jennifer, I am a Junior at University of North Carolina at Charlotte in the Elementary Education Program. I am a mathematic concentration, since I was little I loved math classes and doing my math homework with my dad. Once I graduate I would like to be a kindergarden teacher, somewhere within North Carolina. I have lived in North Carolina my whole life, and do not plan on moving anytime soon. I lived in a rural county (which is not so rural no - it is growing in all directions) and plan on some day moving back to the county that I was raised in and teach. I still communicate with my kindergarden teacher on a monthly basis if not more. Currently I am a full time student and work part time at Hendrick Acura. I have been working at Acura for 4 years and absoulty love it! Hendrick Automotive Group is a great organization to work with and they have made it so easy for me to go to college and to work at the same time.

My answers to the common reading questions!

'''How Can ICT Literacy Skills Support Global Awareness at the K-5 Level? questions to answer: 1. The reading on ICT/Global Awareness describes two examples of how ICT (Information and Communications Technology)skills can support global awareness. What do you think are the benefits to students who participate in these types of projects? What similar types of projects might you do with students when you begin teaching?'''

'Common Reading Answer 1 >' ''There are both measurable and immeasurable benefits for students participating in projects such as the ones described in the article. The measureable benefits are the knowledge and academic aspect of being educated about a different culture. Students remember more of what they DO and less of what they read therefore projects such as these make an abstract concept such as diversity or multiculturalism concrete. Doing this will help the student actually learn the main ideas and concepts instead of simply memorizing and regurgitating information. The immeasurable benefit for the students involved in ICT/Global Awareness projects is what they take home with them. The positive attitude and empathetic feelings students discover while working on these projects is not something you can teach to your students. These are feelings and emotions that are instilled in a child at a young age and they will carry them with them throughout their lives. What we are teaching our students through global awareness projects is much bigger than ourselves or our classroom…It is teaching tolerance and acceptance that will help build a more positive global community.''

''The types of projects I do in my classroom will be decided by the technology resources that we have. Regardless of the level of technology in my classroom my students will discover Global Awareness on a personal level. The simplest project that we would do would be a pen pal project. Although this is very basic, it can be done at whatever level technology my school has (i.e. postal service or electronic mail.) Another project that I would be interested in doing with my students would be a scavenger hunt. Students would have to work with students from another location to find items they need. Students would not be provided with a list of items but with a list of clues. Not only does this help my students find out about another location of the world, it helps them learn about their location as well.''

'''Framework for the 21st Century questions to answer: 2. The Framework for 21st Century Learning list 4 areas that are important for a 21st education: Core Subjects and 21st Century Themes; Learning and Innovation Skills; Information, Media, and Technology Skills; and Life and Career Skills. Which of these, if any, are the schools in your area addressing? What does a teacher in training like yourself need to know and be able to do in order to teach 21st century skills to children?'''

Common Reading Answer 2 > ''The school that I was placed in for my clinical observation this semester is a high-risk school. This means that there are a lot of minority and low-economic status students. At this school it seems as though they focus most of their time on developing the character of the students. The majority of the students do not have a positive or positive role model at home so they must get formal instruction in school as to how they should act and when. Even though this is an elementary school the primary focus is on Life and Career Skills. A great deal of time is spent dealing with behavioral issues, and there is a common them as to how they are handled. Teachers and faculty constantly help students with their self-direction, productivity, accountability, and responsibility.''

''In order to teach 21st century skills to our students it is very important that we know and display them as their teacher. It is difficult to teach and apply skills that you yourself are not familiar with. As a teacher you should also know your students and know what 21st century skills your students would benefit from the most. The 21st century skills cannot be taught in a lesson but must be applied and instilled in the classroom each and every day. Knowing which 21st century skills your students need help with the most will make sure that they are getting the most positive exposure possible in the classroom.''

User:Goodsonj

Hey what's up? My name is Jordan, but my friends intend on calling me J-Goody. I'm currently a Junior at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. I'm majoring in Elementary Education, with a concentration minor in History. College is great, and Charlotte, a.k.a the Queen City is the place to be. Our school is home to somewhere around 20,000 students. We have one of the biggest and nicest campus' in North Carolina, if not most of the US in my opinion. The big-city life is unimaginable, day and night, it's loads of fun. Basketball is the big sport at our school, but we're in the process of getting a football team, something the 49ers have been a long time waiting for.

Mtg.18, Monday 6 October, O8

Connecting array "conn," consider the 2-bar truss system (p. 5-6 $$ \rightarrow $$ shown above)

conn(e,j) = global node number of local node j of element e

Location matrix master array: "lmm" (the same 2-bar truss system (p. 5-6) that is shown above)

lmm(i,j) = equation number (global dof number) for the element stiffness coefficients corresponding to the j -th local dof number.

Method 2 to derive $$ \mathbf{k}_{4 \times 4}^{(e)}: $$

Transform a system with $$ \mathbf{4} $$ dofs into a system with also $$ \mathbf{4} $$ dofs (instead of only $$ \mathbf{2} $$ dofs), so that the transformatin matix is now $$ \mathbf{4 \times 4} $$ and hopefully invertable (local-to-local transformation).

Introduction to US History/Justification

Why not the featured US History book
which is found at wikibooks here. US_History.

from nearly the opening chapter of the book, what I have found was neither neutral nor easily corrected.

--Jolie 18:16, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
 * to start with, the author immediately discounts the major theory on North american settlement; the 'bering land' bridge theory. While it is true that recent scholarship has painted a more complex picture of N american settlement than this 1920's era theory.  We do not need to in the words of the talk page; assume that the bering land bridge theory only works if 'million' of siberians cross into america.  This is a 'straw man' theory for sure.Indeed recent scholarship has proved that there are undeniable migrations through the bering land bridge.
 * I don't know that such a claim, although evidently incorrect, is properly a "straw man". It is more simply a "false claim", which is not necessarily the same thing.  More significantly:  Why not simply edit the current Wikibook to be more accurate?  The Jade Knight (d'viser) 07:23, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, Geo.plrd is quite significant to this discussion and hopefully will come here to discuss. I think HE might have problems with its organization and ability to meet AP US History
 * But Here is the question. if we start altering the textbook in a way that he doesn't like, he Might feel we are vandals and take administrative action against us. After all He wrote the book and was heavily against the bering strait theory and might not appreciate my edits. All efforts to invite him into the discussion did not work.  It feels more natural (although much harder) to offer an "opposing book" when the book you are using seems heavily skewed and not objective. --Jolie 12:47, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Please keep in mind, the material appears abandoned. IF a project author cannot be reached to work out differences with; you are left with two aggresive steps.  Either redo material in another forum or rewrite his work.  The latter might just be more aggressive. While we are potentially being somewhat offensive to ignore his project altogether. I trust Geo's assessment that the project was very difficult to redeem.  It may also be Geo.plrd judgement that training me is better served by my 'rewriting american history' than neccesarily any serious attempt to create a definitive textbook.
 * we are in new territory here, because normal history courses utilize history books created by panals of accomplished experts. For a Chemist (with little training) To CREATE a history textbook is NOVEL and Unique (CRAZY?).  I make no guarentees that my own little researches are the definitive content of a introductory textbook.  That is the weakness of this project. So really, Am I making the definitive textbook??? I don't know.  I am studying history, trying to be unoffensive, and trying to learn from Geo.plrd.  --Jolie 16:08, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I think your efforts are to be applauded. I simply like to encourage collaboration as much as possible.  Yes, it's possible that the author of the previous Wikibook might take issue with your edits (not as vandalism, but simply as "incorrect" in his opinion).  But if the book is abandoned, no one would take issue at all.  And there is always the possibility that the current author(s) would be willing to work with you to create a better, balanced book.  Would that not be worth attempting?  The Jade Knight (d'viser) 21:42, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Well as I see it, the US History wikibook has evolved into a euro centric general US history textbook. That is what the dynamic appears to be. I think it would be counterproductive to waltz in and attempt to shift the dynamic. Also, we are working on an AP textbook. The College Board has different ideas of topics than what you or I would include. Geo.plrd 05:23, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

I think Geo, that Jade has a point. whatever the dynamic of the history book at WB, the author Clearly INTENDED to meet AP requirements, it's in the introduction. moreover the book is 'featured' meaning its been reviewed and approved (in a limited way at least) with the WB community. This is one reason why I was less than certain that anything should have been started at WB.

Keep in mind, I am trying to reach the author. I will continue to do so.

However, I do think we need to continue the dynamic of writing this point. I'm learning alot, and its a little easier to write my own than change the sometimes off-base text (and reorganize). Even if we make NO textbook for AP but we make a bare-bones lecture notes it will be a great teaching project for me. Perhaps in several years,the course could be redone, and the current WB textbook altered by my writings and researches. We need to keep in mind that even when textbooks are written by experts, rarely are they written by one person, doing a chapter a week, and all in part time. If we get more people, the job of fully doing a textbook with solid well-written language, good references, etc will seem less weighty than it does now. I hope that my work allows people to build off it. from my point of view, this books biggest errors are bizarre inclusions of material and a biased point of view (one aim of all textbooks is to be neutral and not PICK sides in scientific debates). For now, What I want to do is catalogue irregularities. If the author is found we can go through them point by point. Future attempts to reconcile differences would be served by this as well. --Jolie 12:54, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

 * I have created a note on the 'community bulletin board' explaining our action to the WB community. I have also created a copy of that information on the talk page of my userpage.  If we cannot find representation with such a public proclamation, we must evaluate what that means.
 * I do hope though that the author, or someone will come along to represent that work. Perhaps we could craft a compromise?  I have no problems building off of others people's knowledge- that is in a sense the very essence of what wikimedia attempts to do.  ok, enough for now I am working on mayan history.  I'm impressed, doing a textbook is nothing compared to the splendor of THEIR accomplishments.--Jolie 14:41, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I talked to Geoff in the wv chat room about the issue, and I've given up trying to convince you guys to merge the two projects. He's given me a copy of the AP requirements, and I'll try to contribute, partially by searching the current Wikibook for materials which are adequate for your project; I figure, if you don't want to rewrite that one, we can at least copy the worthwhile parts of it and shove them here. The Jade Knight (d'viser) 19:41, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Well if the work remains abandoned it is very hard to compromise. At some point someone in Wikibooks must stand up for the work and say 'yeah' its a good book and we should work out differences in our two efforts.
 * In other words, its really out of my hands. I'm learning lots doing what I'm doing.  We've got a long,long way to go. and there's really no issue until the book is Finished and wikibooks must decide what to do with what we've generated.  I've already raised a fuss over at wikibooks, so they can hardly say they've had no chance to think about it (given it will take many months for us to write this).
 * I've spent so much time at justification, that I don't think its justified to keep on thinking about it. YOu all know where I stand.  On to Meso-America (still not done)--Jolie 20:02, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Sounds like you've done well. Keep up the good work!  The Jade Knight (d'viser) 20:04, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Migration of N America
from the talk page "Editorial material moved from main article The following material was moved by this author from the main article to this discussion page since it contains commentary that, although having merit, is more appropriate for discussion (the original conclusions, however, remain in the main article): The Bearing Strait hypothesis has a number of things wrong wtih it:(1) it is a bigoted, racist 19th century European egocentrist view that aboriginees were ignorant heatherns and therefore just too dumb or stupid to construct boats to cross oceans. Contrary to this:the earliest boats have been found to date back some 30,000 years and possiblely earlier all over the world. Certainly by 20,000 years ago; boat building had reached the point that man could cross oceans. The evidence for this comes from Japan et al. (2)Climatological(Ice cores) and wood ring studies do not support the hypothesis because it assumes that humans came down what was then a great ice field blocking easy travel further south where the Alaskan Highway is today. (3) The theory ignores the fact that people could have used the Aleutians to arrive in North America and many Inuit still travel in such manner from Nome,Alaska back and forth from Little Diomede Island to Big Diomede. (4)The Bearing Strait theory has a major problem in that if true then some millions of people arrived instantly all at the same time all over North, Central and South America---something not quiet possible. Humans do not reproduce as fast as bacteria do to arrive at that population level in so short at time and would have needed modern transportation to have distributed so widely in so short of time.Lottamiata 21:49, 29 April 2007 (UTC)"

Number 1-3 does not directly counter the bering land bridge theory. Number 1 shows that mankind had boats at an early era. this is proved! australia was habitated by boat using people 45,000 years ago. but even today, the polynesians are widely spread throughout the pacific ocean, but contained NO direct presence on the west coast. Why? its just a LONG way from hawaii to california. with few pit stops. Number 2 is the most serious challenge, but it lacks direct citing of peer-reviewed study to show that there was not gap in the the ice sheets allowing travel through alberta.

number 3 seems very confusing. if inuit still travel between russia and alaska today in boats- why wouldn't they do so, when the area was a land mass?

number 4 seems the straw man. the bering land bridge theory doen't demand millions, thousands, or even hundreds. Studies show that its very likely SOME people came through the land bridge. NPOV demands that the land bridge is given proper respect. Until scientific consensus changes it is a proven theory (though NOT the only possible way) that Some men came across it to America. I can't find that level of consensus on any other alternative model of migration.--Jolie 17:00, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Mayan End of the World
"Furthermore, the Mayan calendar predicts the end of the earth at the Winter Soltice on 21 December 2012, which is similar to Sir Issac Newton's prediction of the end of time in 2060 AD. This prediction was probably arrived at by Mayan Astronomers who observed the near misses of asteroids in their time. "

Reseraches; No, I find no evidence that the mayans knew about asteroids.
 * Most definitely Sir Isaac Newton, did NOT know about asteroids although HIS math was used to calculate the next approach of a sizable asteroid; 2060. Although we must add that it was Kepler not Newton that best defined orbital mechanics.
 * In Fact, I am an amateur astronomer and assure you that the four brightest asteroids are far TOO dim to see with the unaided eye. thus, without the telescope, you would not see them.
 * The mayan ended their "long count" calender on Dec 12, 2012. It was one of 17 calenders and we find no real explanations for the end. except the obvious, that one must end a calender somewhere!  Since mayan calenders where built in patterns you would expect all copies of the long count calender to end at the same date; just like all copies of your 2008 calender end on Dec 31,2008.  because our printed calenders end on Dec 31,2008 does not mean we believe that time will end.
 * At any rate, if you say that the mayans predicted the "end of the time" on 2012, you need to attach real proof that the mayans thought this, rather than an untrue assertian that they were studying asteroids.--Jolie 12:31, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
 * The "near misses of asteroids" is a very modern concept. The discovery of asteroids did not even occur until long after the invention of the telescope due to the coordinated effort needed to detect them.  Under very rare circumstances it is possible to observe an asteroid naked eye.  For example, 99942 Apophis will reach nearly 3.5 magnitude for a couple of hours on Apr. 13, 2029.  But to suggest that ancient Mayan astronomers were even aware of asteroids would require extraordinary evidence.  BTW, see Earth-impact events  ;)  --mikeu talk 01:27, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Lunar Boom Town/Theme Park Rovers

It actually sounds too expensive and selective to be lucretive. Yes there would be a few customers, even rich customers (I imagine the Garriotts would love it), but should it be a "boom town", such a theme park might be best kept as an "old moon terrain park", moon terrain that is still exposed to non-habitat environments. Even this would seem of questionable merit with potential for disasterous consequence and death, and at the very least it would be a security risk.
