Loyola volunteers tutor student athletes in academic subjects and assist in ACT/SAT preparation sessions through the ELEVATE program. As part of the program, Loyola students also assist in the development of student athletes on the court with basketball skill development and conditioning training for some of New Orleans' best junior high and high school basketball players.
The mission of the Elevate program is to improve the lives of inner-city youth through mentor-based programs in athletics, academics, fitness and social development. The program's aim is to close the achievement gap by ensuring that these teens have access to afterschool and summer developmental programs free of charge.
I selected the theme for this week's Project 52 photo. Knowing I was going to a conference, I chose "learning". This photo shows a workshop at that conference that I was leading together with a good friend. Here is where we put the participants to work either on their own or in groups. I do get a bit of a thrill seeing people involved in eager discussions. It's inspiring.
The conference is TCUK - short for Technical Communication UK. It's the conference for the ISTC, Institute for Scientific and Technical Communicators, based in the UK.
Learning the language of trees is done "little by little" (pedetemtim) from books, says Nemerov, which, as he also notes, are transformations of trees. Once learned, you may walk in the woods or a tree-lined street "To see how the chaos of experience/Answers to catalogue and category." Not necessarily well, since even one tree's leaves may differ among themselves.
Still, as what I've quoted says, we do learn. But the trees? ". . . [T]heir comprehensive silence stays the same." We impose our language on them--what else do we have to make sense of experience?--but the trees only speak to us in some figurative sense, which we use language to translate.
The trees pictured above? Maples, though I suspect they don't care what we call them. But language, too, has its own uses and pleasures, obstinate and intransigent though it may be.
Hope my thoughts don't ruin the poem for you, the whole of which you may enjoy here.
We are navigating through uncharted waters with this new way of learning Math. Math U See is a slower paced yet (for us) a more logical way of learning Math concepts. It's also great for kinesthetic (touch and feel) and visual learners since it involves the senses in the learning process.
In the Machine Learning Studio, visitors can use computer vision and machine learning applications to discover how machines learn and perceive their environment. Working with tech trainers, they can build and train self-driving model cars here, program robots with facial recognition, and gain insights into how they can teach these devices a wide variety of activities.

At Grand Valley State University (Allendale, Michigan) for the excellent Re-think It 2015 Conference. Here are my pictures of the beautiful Mary Idema Pew Library Learning and Information Commons that opened in 2013. This is a LEED Platinum building (the first I ever visited). From their site: "The Mary Idema Pew Library Learning and Information Commons is designed to be the intellectual heart of the Allendale Campus. It will exceed the expectations of anyone who thinks of a library solely as a home for printed books and whispered words. In this new library, students will find a range of environments, from noisy to quiet, in which they can work on an assignment alone or in a group; receive coaching from a peer consultant in research, writing, or presenting; practice a new skill or play with a new idea; learn something unexpectedly; engage easily with each other in spaces engineered to accommodate the sounds of natural conversation; or curl up by the fireplace in a contemplative space with the best views on campus. Students will do all of these things in a building that was crafted with their needs in mind—the right lighting, the right furniture, the right resources, the right services, the right spaces, and the right amount of flexibility. "Going to the library" will take on a whole new meaning as the Mary Idema Pew Library Learning and Information Commons becomes and integral part of every student's experience at Grand Valley."
The Poudre Learning Center is a premier facility for interdisciplinary learning that will focus on the importance of history, science, economics, stewardship and aesthetics of the Cache la Poudre River in Northeastern Colorado. At this 65-acre site, your family or your class can learn about the role that the Poudre River played in local history. You will find out how early settlers made irrigation ditches and dams in order to utilize the water from the river for agriculture. You can walk down to the ponds along the river. These ponds are the result of gravel pit mining, but now serve as an excellent habitat for the local wildlife.
A cartoon drawn by Dave Morrison, Cabell Library's building manager, humorously explains the purpose of the group study room "campfire" table. The "campfire" table is designed to provide an experience similar to sharing ideas visually on a napkin while brainstorming.

The centre of the design features a classical doorway, based on a real one that is one of the oldest parts of the present school complex.
This detail of the foliage includes various fruits, suggesting the rewards of learning in the manner of the Tree of Knowledge.
The window was commissioned from Norgrove Studios and designed and executed by Clare at the workshop in Redditch in 1999, being installed in time for the 2000 in the Schools main hall.

Portraits of Hope's massive public art and civic project – involving more than 20,000 kids, adults and volunteers – that visually transformed Manhattan. By recruiting and utilizing more than 5,400 fully operational NYC taxis to participate in the unprecedented 4-month exhibition, the cabs and city streets of New York were transformed into a giant mobile canvas. The unprecedented event integrated two key characteristics that define the City: the saturation of the iconic taxis; and the vertical physicality of Manhattan. www.portraitsofhope.org
