And Zoom Video Communications says it has provided free services during the pandemic to more than 125,000 schools in 25 countries.
This is crazy to think. Zoom wasn't a very popular resource a year ago, but since the issues with corona virus it has become a staple in our school system and will most likely remain a staple for years to come.
“Especially in K-12, so much of learning is sparked through dialogue between teachers and students,” said Jennifer Carolan, a partner at Reach Capital, a venture capital firm focused on education that has invested in Nearpod and Newsela.
This is a very factual based statement since it is from a very well renowned partner from the capital firm.
In the United States, some of the largest recent ed-tech deals involved start-ups that help educators give and grade assignments, lead lessons or hold class discussions online
This is again opinion based.
Tech evangelists have long predicted that computers would transform education. The future of learning, many promised, involved apps powered by artificial intelligence that would adjust lessons to children’s abilities faster and more precisely than their human teachers ever could.
This is a very interesting statement, one that is very biased in some ways. It is interesting that they say that "the future of learning, many promised, involved apps powered by artificial intelligence that would adjust lessons to children's abilities faster and more precisely..." was said because again although this statement is true, it is very opinion based.
“We’ve seen a real explosion in demand,” said Michael Boreham, a senior market analyst at Futuresource. “It’s been a massive, massive sea change out of necessity.”
Even though, this seems to be factual just from experience it is not necessarily a factual statement because it is still just an opinion.
Venture and equity financing for education technology start-ups has more than doubled, surging to $12.58 billion worldwide last year from $4.81 billion in 2019, according to a report from CB Insights, a firm that tracks start-ups and venture capital.
This is a great way to prove credibility because it is a worldwide known company-CB Insights. This allows the reader to feel like it is a reliable source; therefore having a factual statement.
But over all, the strong growth in adults who have either gotten one dose of the vaccine or are inclined to get it is most likely because of their increasing familiarity with the notion. Surveys show that as they begin to know more friends and relatives who have gotten the shot, they can more readily imagine getting it themselves.
Again very biased.
The survey also noted that many people who are hesitant would be amenable to certain incentives.
This is interesting and could allude to a question-who are "the many"?
According to the Kaiser survey as well as other polls, Republicans have budged little in their views on vaccine acceptance in recent months, although they were more open last fall, before the November presidential election. The partisan divide over the Covid-19 shots is wide, with just 46 percent of Republicans saying they have received at least one shot or want to get it, compared with 79 percent of Democrats.
This is a great example of bias in our world today, but specifically in this article.
Dr. Reed Tuckson, a founder of the Black Coalition Against Covid, hailed the increasing acceptance rates but noted that practical problems still get in the way of uptake.
Does this mean that the continuing acceptance rates are not being considered in full?
The Biden administration has made equity a focus of its pandemic response and has added mass vaccination sites in several underserved communities.
This shows that equity is a major part to look at in the context of this article.
The shift was most striking among Black Americans, some of whom have previously expressed hesitancy but who have also had access issues. Since just February, 14 percent more Black adults said they wanted or had already gotten the vaccine. Over all, Black adults, who have also been on the receiving end of vigorous promotional campaigns by celebrities, local Black physicians, clergy members and public health officials, now want the vaccine in numbers almost comparable to other leading demographic groups: 55 percent, compared with 61 percent for Latinos and 64 percent for white people.
This could be the purpose in the article. What if the purpose of the poll was to show the difference in equity.
Covid-19
A bias could be people who are "eligible" and want to get vaccinated.
"Police are there to protect our lives and our property," Mansari said. "We trusted them, the life of this baby girl and by God's grace it was revived."
This is why police are here. To protect us and our property. This is a reminder to all.
Nobody wants to be the cop that's called to an unconscious, unresponsive infant," officer Del Pino said. "I stepped between the father and the other officer and took the baby rolled her over in my arm. So her back was against my forearm and her head and neck were cradled in my hand."
This is a great insight into the police officers eyes. This is so interesting to see and observe. I think it was very smart how the author of the article showed this insight. I also think that it puts a new light on the police force in general since a lot of recent events have caused a negative thought to be shown.
A mother and father on Staten Island are showing gratitude to the New York cops who saved their baby girl when she stopped breathing.
This is definitely worded in the right way in pulling the audience in. The word "gratitude" is something that really stands out especially in the sense that the parents are feeling this way because of their child.
