can stop climate change today if we end animal agriculture. You might be wondering why animal agriculture isn’t a talking point for the candidates of 2016 when climate change is a key focus in today’s society. Well, because everyone loves to eat their meat.
Give some more facts about it to show how hard and scary it will be to solve this, if we even can.
-
I want to bring to your attention that animal agriculture is the leading cause for climate change.
I would instead start with this! show the leading cause and how scary it is that just one person behavior change can't do a dam thing!

you are
Ends wrong you forgot something! just check it!

of 1.5°C – guides the agreement. Mitigation includes a long-term goal
Good! this fits well

. Climate change may refer to a change in average weather
Climate change is a change in climate conditions. Climate is average weather patterns over the last 30 years in a said biome. This is why it's hard for some scientist to agree on set numbers.
-
limate change is more prevalent to people today than ever before. I tend to question why this is. Has climate change become a fact now more than ever, or are people starting to see the devastating effects of climate change first hand?
Great opener but instead of this I would start with a personal story like she said. This will pull the writer in. Or maybe show a statistics of climate change? http://grist.org/climate-energy/5-terrifying-facts-from-the-leaked-u-n-climate-report/

Not all of the production growth from 1961 to 2000 was due to MVs; this table shows
Mv (Modern variety) I find this interesting thinking about most of the values compared the the maximum sustainable yield of what most values are today. Usually you'd see them all improve in the same way instead of just a few. Huh, Unusual.
-
The data suggest that in the 1960s and 1970s, national and international programs may have sought to “short-cut” the varietal improvement process in Sub-Saharan Africa by introducing unsuitable varieties from Asia and Latin America, rather than engaging in the time-consuming work of identifying locally adapted germplasm and using it as the basis for breeding new varieties.
This would be interesting to write about.Given the shown data and to individual sets of datum per country would be interesting as well.
-
chiefly those with access to irrigation or reliable rainfall— and the new varieties yielded substantially more grain than previous varieties
Trying to find a substable yield that can completely feed the populace is a tough thing to do from what I understand. Fun fact for you to worry about... By 2050 our population is going to double by the "rule of 70." If we are already battling for resources, such as usable and drinkable water barely at 3%. And we are barely able to sustain feeding the population now. Where and how are we going to produce double the amount of resources and food? Just a little food for thought...
-
The early successes in breeding rice and wheat MVs reflected the advanced state of research on those crops in the late 1950s.
This reminds me of what is called "golden Rice." Referring to a GMO created rice that is orange because they added extra nutrients from carrots, to try to help developing countries get their proper nutrients
-
Over the period 1960 to 2000, international agricultural research centers, in collaboration with national research programs, contributed to the development of “modern varieties” for many crops.
The "Green revolution" is a term for the evaluation of how we produce food. The ways we feed our massive populations around the world. This is a good way of describing it. Being it is Basically one of the most important scientific breakthroughs in the last decade.

. First I'd go to a restaurant several times with a few opinionated, articulate friends in tow. I'd sit there writing down everything anyone said that was at all interesting or funny. Then on the following Monday I'd sit down at my desk with my notes and try to write the review. Even after I'd been doing this for years, panic would set in. I'd try to write a lead, but instead I'd write a couple of dreadful sentences, XX them out, try again,
Writing is a tough thing for some it needs a process like this to help.
-
I like how this gives an examples of what a good writer should be, I feel like if i do this with my next writing it will help me improve as a writer.
-
I think this is a good point the author makes because I feel as if I sat down before writing and made a deceit draft my writing would end up becoming so much better at the end.

In the case of Google Apps, you can download your files. But then you’ll need to find a new place to store them.
Are you forgetting about google docs??

And if a student owns their own domain, as she moves from grade to grade and from school to school, all that information — their learning portfolio — can travel with them.
Agreed the author makes a valid point.
-
In developing this “personal cyberinfrastructure” through the Domain of One’s Own initiative, UMW gives students agency and control; they are the subjects of their learning, not the objects of education technology software.
I agree with what they are saying with it doesn't seem to nice to do such a thing to educational learners trying to learn...
-
It’s important that learners have control over their work
Agreed, but is that every university just gives away free websites to do what everyone pleases on them? I don't see that happening, I think that if you are using the website for work, school, and educational reasonings to further your field then it makes perfect sense to me. you could use them as a good way for jobs in your future to see how you've grown through college like a E-resume in away.
-
The author makes a good point here, I just think that it should remain an edu. because it's an education site.

I think there are better options than wordpress such as Weebly, which is free.

student’s choosing.
I think this way it would have to be an edu to make sure it is educational, because you aren't paying for it, you're univerity is and it should be education like a way to further the university's research like a data base type deal
-
believe that students need a proprietary online space in order to be intellectually productive.
If only our school would figure out something better than moodel sadface
-
Students have little agency when it comes to education technology — much like they have little agency in education itself.
Agreed, because I think students don't get treated like adults they way they should be to slingshot them into the real world, but I think this issue goes far past just education technology.

170 bills proposed so far this year that would regulate it. These legislative efforts stress the need to protect students when they’re online, safeguarding their data from advertisers as well as from unscrupulous people and companies.
This seems to me to be a serious topic the reason being is the web today is never what people thought it would be a long time ago, Nowadays there are layers people don't even know about that can't be seen by the public eye and companies pick and prod at any ad revenue they can get. I think theres needs to be away that if you have a tag on your internet usage saying you're from a university or college your info can't be used for ads or sold you companies this would fix this problem and help university students make a data for students to get together and further each other's research with out the worry of a "lumming figure" standing behind them trying to sell them things.

There is Violet Degnan and her project, “New Black Masculinity and Hip-hop.” Degnan places this piece within a network of links, articles, and images while also abiding by strict scholarly standards. Also explore the satirical online store by John Chavez, dubbed “Stitcht,” which ‘hacks’ digital conceptualizations of gender. These two projects engage in public scholarship in creative ways: Degnan’s project participates in the very public conversation surrounding black masculinity, while Chavez uses the form of a satirical store to force an audience to question their assumptions around the online economy.
I think the biggest thing to take from this is that it helps others to. If other students are searching for this work all across the web trying to find examples of scholarly articles about these various subjects then things students have written could come up to help further research for other students which is what learning is all about. You just need to use it at your advantage!
-
Giving a student ownership over data means nothing if it doesn’t allow them to determine that data.
I only say this isn't true, because they are giving this to you for this reason not to do whatever you want, the main goal of it is for you to use it for school work.
-
But it is not a guarantee.
I think this subjects all students into one box.
-
identity online.
I think it's not always a good idea to share your identity online like this.
-
I could even keep the domain after graduation.
I'd enjoy to do something like this at my university!

hastily constructed blog post for a class participation grade, then what is the purpose of making it public?
I would say this isn't the case that it's the teacher's personality and the way they construct their class, if they want to make it public then I don't think it would hurt. Also I think most of the time older audiences think younger students like us college students find most things like News that is up to date very interesting. Things discussing this would be fun to do, so I disagree Public is good.
