Pyramid of BiomassThe Biomass Pyramids show the amount of biomass (living or organic matter present in an organism) present per unit area at each trophic level. It is drawn with the producers at the base and the top carnivores at the tip. Pyramid of biomass is generally ascertained by gathering all organisms occupying each trophic level separately and measuring their dry weight. Each trophic level has a certain mass of living material at a particular time called standing crop, which is measured as the mass of living organisms (biomass) or the number in a unit area. Upright Pyramid of Biomass Ecosystems found on land mostly have pyramids of biomass with large base of primary producers with smaller trophic level perched on top, hence the upright pyramid of biomass. The biomass of autotrophs or producers is at the maximum. The biomass of next trophic level, i.e. primary consumers is less than the producers. Similarly, the other consumers such as secondary and tertiary consumers are comparatively less than its lower level respectively. The top of the pyramid has very less amount of biomass.By: rupaliWednesday, May 12, 2021WATER, ENERGY, AND THE ENVIRONMENT

What is communication (and what isn’t it)?The P21 framework emphasizes effective use of oral, written, and nonverbal communication skills for multiple purposes (e.g., to inform, instruct, motivate, persuade, and share ideas). It also focuses on effective listening, using technology to communicate, and being able to evaluate the effectiveness of communication efforts—all within diverse contexts (adapted from P21). Note that working in partners is a great way to collaborate or build shared understanding but a critical part of communication is sharing with an authentic audience.By: Jen Martins HenzansanathWednesday, May 12, 2021CULTURE AND SOCIETY+1

Communication to Support Student Learning in a Digital Learning EnvironmentKey Method Educator provides evidence of their understanding of communication and outlines and provides evidence of a lesson that uses technology to support students’ use of communication in learning. Method Components What are the 4Cs? The 4Cs for 21st century learning are Creativity, Critical Thinking, Communication, and Collaboration. They are part of the framework for 21st Century Learning and are designed to support student learning in today’s world and are skills they can use in college and career. What is communication (and what isn’t it)? The P21 framework emphasizes effective use of oral, written, and nonverbal communication skills for multiple purposes (e.g., to inform, instruct, motivate, persuade, and share ideas). It also focuses on effective listening, using technology to communicate, and being able to evaluate the effectiveness of communication efforts—all within diverse contexts (adapted from P21). Note that working in partners is a great way to collaborate or build shared understanding but a critical part of communication is sharing with an authentic audience. Example strategies that use technology to support communication in the classroom: Host a TED-style conference or showcases for your students to present original ideas on a topic of interest to them to an authentic, external audience. Record and post the videos to a youtube stream. Provide opportunities to listen and ask questions through back channel tools like Today’s Meet or even Twitter. Have your students publish their work through blogs, by creating websites, and by building other online resources that are shared with authentic audiences. For other ideas see the resources below.

Recognize perspectivestest : .doc Students must engage in activities and explorations where they are able to investigate their world beyond their immediate environment. Research that is age-appropriate should be conducted where problems are framed that are significant at the local, regional, or global level.By: Jen Martins HenzansanathWednesday, May 12, 2021CULTURE AND SOCIETY

Connecting Knowledge to ActionKey Method The educator builds upon the identified considerations for practice by incorporating strategies and activities that support global education practices. The educator reflects and categorizes them according to the four global competencies. Method Components Global Education Global education helps students develop their capacity to be informed, open-minded, and responsible people who are responsive to diverse perspectives. Global education prepares us to address the world’s most pressing issues collaboratively, equitably, and sustainably. Global education helps students understand that pressing issues must be faced in an interdisciplinary way, given the complexity of environments and competing needs and interests. Through global education, students will prepare to thrive and lead change in an interconnected world. Students will engage in dimensions of cultural diversity to reach common understandings and goals. Through a stronger awareness of global issues, students will be able to address today’s greatest challenges and make a difference in the world, both collaboratively and equitably. Global Education Strategies and Activities Preparing students for responsible global citizenship must include strategies and activities that reflect the increasing diversity of today’s global population. The cooperative learning strategy can be incorporated as a global education structure where heterogeneous groups are formed and engage in interactive opportunities. This offers a platform where students can be exposed to diverse individuals, as well as prepared for successful global cooperation and competition. Additionally, a structure of project- or problem-based learning can be employed. The project or problem of focus would be a global concern or issue that is investigated. Global Competence Framework The four-part framework (investigating the issue, recognizing perspectives, communicating ideas, taking action) incorporated into this micro-credential reflects the changing role of our students in the 21st century. Students must have a substantive understanding of the complex, diverse, and interdependent world in which they live. Educators will delve into the research that supports the students becoming globally competent through inquiry. The four-part framework is described below. Additional resources are available in the “Supporting Rationale and Research” section and should be examined prior to completing this micro-credential.By: Jen Martins HenzansanathWednesday, May 12, 2021CULTURE AND SOCIETY
