H.R. 6262, a bill I introduced, protecting veterans in a vocational rehabilitation and education program if their school cannot transition to online learning during the coronavirus crisis, passed the Senate as part of the Student Veteran Coronavirus Response Act of 2020 on Tuesday and now goes to the President for signature. My bill allows the Veterans Administration to keep paying a veteran’s housing and subsistence allowance, in the event their school closes suddenly or terminates a program of study because of the virus. H.R. 6262 also prevents veterans from losing eligibility time for education support, when they do not receive credit for classes taken. And it provides two additional months of subsistence allowance to veterans currently participating in the vocational rehabilitation and education, or VR&E, program, who may face difficulty finding a job as a result of COVID-19’s impact on near-term employment prospects.

As DMPS transitions to distance learning for the rest of the 2019-20 school year, a top priority is making sure every student is equipped to access online learning resources. The effort took a big step forward on Friday, April 10 when seniors who had technology needs picked up laptops at their home high schools. A drive-thru service was setup at East, Hoover, Lincoln, North, Roosevelt and Scavo for students to check out devices. Distance learning for seniors will begin on Monday, April 13. Technology distribution will continue for other grade levels through late April.

Thursday, October 25, 2012 - Education Secretary Paul Reville visited Burlington High School to learn more about how the school is integrating technology and online learning tools into its classrooms.

To learn more about the Burp-Pump, airlift pumps and the use of them in aquaponics systems go to the Aquaculture Training On-Line Learning (ATOLL).

 

This exciting new series of online courses in the fundamental science of farming aquatic animals and plants is intended for students from high school age and up. Designed to introduce fish farming to those interested in pursuing employment or in beginning their own backyard fish farm, distinguished UH and visiting faculty provide cutting edge information through a series of powerful video presentations. Stop paying high prices for fish or vegetables – you can grow your own. Feed your family – or an entire village – by learning the science behind fish farming and aquaponics.

 

The program features engaging videos, digital games, and a dedicated social network for students in the program. Students who complete all courses and a final examination may apply to participate in a post-course internship with a mentor at an aquaculture facility near where they live.

 

This program is made available and affordable by a generous grant from NOAA. Scholarships are available. Visit the program website at videolearning.uhatoll.com. For more information, call (808) 956-9899 or email uhaqua@hawaii.edu.
