Day: October 9, 2019

An eclectic weekly selection of the best new essays, talks, podcasts, and more.

Evgeny Morozov’s The Syllabus salvages “the best, the deepest, and the most important bits from the ever-growing great pile of information”. Organized by interest it collects truly stimulating but mostly overlooked online content on a broad range of topics.

• Our ultimate ambition is to create a “living syllabus” on a series of subjects that matter.
• We want to ensure that individuals and institutions who want the best new insights into complex yet important issues have the ability to find and peruse more than just tweets or blog posts.
• Until now, doing this – without getting lost in the labyrinths of academia, think-tanks, and conference halls – has been an arduous task. The Syllabus will change that for good.

As planned, OWC/Cigna team’s upcoming visit will be on Oct.15th 2019 from 10.30am to 3.00pm at the end of Cafe corridor on 2nd floor.

Hi All,

In advance of Learning2 @ NIS, please consider the following regarding use of all classroom spaces from NEXT Thursday after-school:

-Please leave the room as you would like it be if you were presenting to adults in this space.

-Please leave whiteboards clean.

-Please leave the remote to the protector near the screen in an obvious location.

-Please stow any materials that you would like not be be touched.

-Spaces will likely be rearranged to some extent. Though we will do our best to leave things as they were found, some readjustment on Monday morning may be required. 

Many thanks for your assistance as we welcome the world to NIS!

Please find the slides from our Monday session here and thanks again for your contributions in collectively surfacing our assumptions and perspectives around inclusion as learning. We are working on collating/analyzing the data and are looking forward to this feeding this back ways that help focus our efforts regarding student learning for all. Cheers!
