Learningbloks is a proposed modular learning platform consisting of interchangeable electronic "bloks" that can be used to simulate hands-on learning activities across different subjects. The bloks would be wirelessly connected to a central console that provides instructions, collects data from onboard sensors, and allows for personalized learning experiences. If successful, Learningbloks would disrupt existing education technology by starting with underserved low-income schools and developing customized bloks and curricula. However, it faces challenges from large established competitors and requires an experienced team including investors, data scientists, and education experts to realize its vision of accessible, contextualized experiential learning anywhere.

Technology can enhance learning in the classroom in several ways. It allows teachers to use interactive whiteboards, document cameras, and projectors to display lessons visually. It also helps students become capable users of information through tools like computers and assistive technologies that support students with disabilities. While technology provides advantages like engaging students and exploring new resources, there are also disadvantages like high costs of maintenance and upkeep as well as the risk of overuse or distractions if not implemented properly. Overall, technology is best utilized when teachers receive proper training to incorporate it in a way that supports different learning styles.
The document discusses the need for technology integration in classrooms. It argues that technology should be used to engage students by connecting learning to their experiences with technology outside of school. A technologically integrated classroom utilizes various technologies like iPods, iPads, interactive whiteboards, websites, blogs, webcasts, and classroom response systems to immerse students and connect their learning.

Objective assesment of safety, sensory, nutrition, shelf life and economics Ashok Dhruv, LLC
A processed food must be “Safe”, have acceptable “Shelf life”, “Sensory qualities”, “Nutrition”, and be “Economic”. An approach to address these issues, for a “particulate” in “fluid”, thermally processed food product, is presented here.
A thermal process constitutes a “time – temperature (T – )” treatment under fluid flow. This is calculated by solving conventional differential element heat balance with appropriate initial and boundary conditions. For fluid flow - equations of motion, continuity and Navier Stokes – in appropriate co-ordinate system are solved to derive velocity profile and its gradient as shear rate. The viscosity is Non-Newtonian and modeled as Power-Law with exponential terms for temperature and moisture dependency. Coupling kinetics for parameters of interest in product and process development gives an objective measure of their value. Industry practice to use “markers” to reflect various effects was followed. Safety – was reflected by microbial metabolism of Cl. Botulism or pasteurization by fruits and vegetables industry practice. Shelf life by per-oxidase enzyme inactivation, Sensory perception of fruit firmness by pectin de-polymerization and Nutrition by Vitamin B1 retention.
This approach can be applied to compare commercially employed equipment, such as scraped surface heat exchanger and helical coils for continuous processing or a kettle for batch processing. Choice of equipment type determine both fixed and variable costs and hence product economics.
Results obtained in practicing this approach for quantitative determinations of “Safety”, “Shelf life”, "Sensory perception”; “Nutrition” and “Economics” are presented here.
The scope, challenges and limitations of this approach are further discussed.

Planning Tool: WA Guidelines for Career Development and Transitions Dr Peter Carey
The Planning Tool will assist teachers reflect on where they are at to a whole school approach to creating a career Development Culture in a school environment
WA Guidelines for Career Development and Transitions Dr Peter Carey
The Western Australian Guidelines for Career Development and Transition Support Services is a response to the National Framework for Career and Transition Services. This approach has been developed between the Department of Education and Training of Western Australia, the Catholic Education Office of Western Australia and the Association of Independent Schools of Western Australia and outlines a comprehensive approach by schools to assist students in managing the various stages of transition.
To make effective transitions through school and on to further education, training and employment, students require access to information and suitably qualified people that will assist them in this process. Before making and implementing decisions about careers, students also need to develop a knowledge and under standing of themselves in relation to the workforce and need to be aware of current labour market trends. This includes consolidating the skills required to learn further, as well as recognising and developing employability skills through the course of their everyday learning at school, in employment and training pathways, at home and in the community.
The objective of this Resource Collection is to provide students with access to career development services and information that will assist them to make informed choices about learning, work and life opportunities. The Guidelines present a range of options which could be implemented to support young people in making effective transitions and can be used as a tool to assist schools in planning for and providing services and information to support this process.
