      Susan is obvious on how she is bias towards Adnan being not guilty. She constantly is pointing out that Jay lies in his story. She is good at pretending like she is not bias by giving statements with Adnan recorded voice being involved in the situation, but it all leads back her pointing the finger of guilt to Jay. With this being told by Susan it is really convincing that Jay's story has many more holes and things that do not exactly match up. When she brings up the Jay interview involving taping and Jays's pauses in the interview, she really sold me on the idea that Adnan was wrongfully tried. Susan really did successfully used pathos, ethos, logos. Using the logic of the common person, it is very clear that something was wrong in that interview.

    2. Buttherealquestionforalotofpeoplehasalwaysbeen:wereJayandAdnanfriends?

      This seems to be the author's claim of the purpose of the episode to describe what she is investigating. She seems to want to keep her ethos by not saying anything particularly bias to her opinion to far. This podcast is very similar to Koenig's and has many similarities with how she uses the evidence and how she presents it.

    1. Ashift is taking place in schools all over the world as learners are exploring subject matter through the act of creation rather than the consumption of conten

      So interesting to see this "realization" included in the K-12 report but not in the HE report. Fostering curiousity, interest, creativity, and ownership. Short jump to an open pedagogy model but pretty unclear that's where this is coming from.

    1. Neil Fraser says Vietnam is doing well with computer science education.

      "If grade 5 students in Vietnam are performing at least on par with their grade 11 peers in the USA, what does grade 11 in Vietnam look like? I walked into a high school CS class, again without any advance notice. The class was working on the assignment below (partially translated by their teacher for my benefit afterwards). Given a data file describing a maze with diagonal walls, count the number of enclosed areas, and measure the size of the largest one."

    1. "If given the opportunity all teachers would stop grading their students. You’ll never find a teacher who loves grading papers, projects or tests. In 20 years as a classroom teacher, I heard more complaints about grading than anything else."

      "So, if they hate it so much, why don’t teachers stop grading? Because parents, administrators, and bureaucrats won’t let them."

    1. "Real gifted education (not gifted programs) involves seeing every student as an individual, finding out what they need, what they want to learn, and what they care about, and then adapting the instructional environment and curriculum to those needs, wants, and passions."

      "There’s no reason we can’t do this for everyone, letting gifted students soar without the downsides of selective gifted programs."

    1. “We see kids in their cars in the parking lot at night and on weekends,” says Buddy Berry, superintendent of Eminence Independent Schools. They’re there, he says, because they can access the Internet using the school’s wireless network—something many don’t have at home.

    1. educators and business leaders are increasingly recognizing that CS is a “new basic” skill necessary for economic opportunity. The President referenced his Computer Science for All Initiative, which provides $4 billion in funding for states and $100 million directly for districts in his upcoming budget; and invests more than $135 million beginning this year by the National Science Foundation and the Corporation for National and Community Service to support and train CS teachers.

    1. Of Man's first disobedience, and the fruit Of that forbidden tree whose mortal taste Brought death into the World, and all our woe, With loss of Eden, till one greater Man Restore us, and regain the blissful seat, Sing, Heavenly Muse, that, on the secret top Of Oreb, or of Sinai, didst inspire That shepherd who first taught the chosen seed In the beginning how the heavens and earth Rose out of Chaos: or, if Sion hill Delight thee more, and Siloa's brook that flowed Fast by the oracle of God, I thence Invoke thy aid to my adventurous song, That with no middle flight intends to soar Above th' Aonian mount, while it pursues Things unattempted yet in prose or rhyme.

      There are sixteen lines of verse before Milton reaches his first period. He uses this first sentence to call forth the "Heavenly Muse" (possibly the Holy Spirit) to help him compose his "adventurous song."
