One district is getting students more active and analytical with data-collection tools, like probeware
Today’s students, being technology natives, expect the same kinds of engagement in the classroom as they seek out online. STEM classes in particular have a natural potential to be both tech-rich and inquiry-based, especially hands-on lab activities. The recent addition of probeware—sensory-based handheld devices for measuring things like water quality, light, and temperature—has allowed us to bring students out into nature and introduce them to the world of data collection and analysis. Here are 7 ways technology is enhancing and expanding STEM education in our school district.

When it comes to the security of our personal information, 2015 may be the worst year on record. As of Dec. 29, according to a running tally kept by the Identity Theft Resource Center, the past year saw 780 data breaches at American corporations, government agencies, and nonprofits. While not all of these breaches represented a definite case of nefarious activity, that number is an all-time high. More than 177 million individual personal records were exposed in one way or another. The ITRC only collects records for the United States, which has a population of around 319 million.

D-Lib Magazine The linked data movement is a relatively new trend on the web that, among other things, enables diverse data providers to publish their content in an interoperable, machine-understandable way. Libraries around the world appear to be embracing linked data technologies that render their content more accessible to both humans and computers. This paper focuses on linked data URIs that refer to authority data. We attempt to identify the specific MARC fields that are capable of hosting linked data information. Additionally, seven major national libraries are examined to determine to what degree they have adopted the fundamental linked data principles.
