Installing BlueJ Touring the GUI BlueJ by Example ... Answers to Previous Homework I recently discovered a Java product called BlueJ . This product, symbolized by the image of a blue jay, is used to teach object orientation to students. In contrast to the harsh-sounding blue jay (which happens to be a member of the crow family), BlueJ is anything but harsh. This simple yet powerful product presents a short learning curve, which is ideal for students. Welcome to the first installment in a two-part series that explores BlueJ. This article introduces the product, reveals its reason for being (Java instructors, take note), shows how to install BlueJ, and takes a tour of BlueJ's GUI. The article climaxes with an example that illustrates several BlueJ features. Note: This series is based on BlueJ version 2.0.4 and J2SE 5.0 running on the Windows 98 SE platform.

Tsunamis Win Font Size: On Earth Day, Teach Our Children By Roy Spencer Published E-Mail Bookmark Print Save TCS The arrival of Earth Day each year provides teachers with the opportunity to help educate students about environmental issues. There is no question that the Earth's inhabitants need to be good stewards of natural resources, and teaching our children about the environment is necessary part of their upbringing. Unfortunately, too often the lesson stops short of equipping the student with the reasoning skills that will allow him or her to make informed decisions about environmental issues. "Pollution is bad, planting a tree is good" might seem like a reasonable theme, but unless we explore environmental issues more deeply, we will continue to produce environmentalists whose ideals are stopped cold when they bump up against economic and practical realities. The adult public has learned to filter out extreme views, from any source, and environmental scares are no exception. Nevertheless, there seems to be no end to environmental mis-information available to the nation's teachers, primarily from advocacy groups whose very existence depends upon environmental scares. This perpetuates mistrust of the environmental agenda, no matter how justifiable some elements of it might be.

Home About Us Academics Admissions ... Home Printer Version SNRE 2005 Undergraduate Essay Winner "The role of education in confronting the environmental challenges of the future." By Brianna Knoppow University of Michigan we have not become a pile of feathers. On the contrary, we have utilized our education to further gain awareness. While society has gone a long way in confronting the environmental problems of the past, unfortunately many environmental problems still exist and will continue to exist far into the future. Only by educating ourselves and sharing our knowledge and skills with others will we have a chance at confronting the environmental challenges of the future. It is important that we are made fully aware of both the causes and consequences of the environmental problems society faces. By better understanding the many different interactions between science, policy, and our own personal decisions, we will be able to tackle environmental challenges head on. Additionally, as environmental problems become more global in scope, it will be up to our educational institutions to teach us about the broad implications of the environmental challenges we face. This is especially true since many of us will not be traveling across the globe to witness the environmental ramifications of our actions. Since few of us will have the opportunity to visit the Amazon and witness deforestation first hand, or climb Mount Kilimanjaro and wonder where the snow melted away to, it is up to institutions such as the School of Natural Resources and Environment to teach us how our actions affect the environment in various parts of the world.

RAWA Educational Policy We teach our students: Recognition of these basic principles and values: - Everyone must respect all human beings regardless of language, religion, race, color, etc. - There is no difference between people; no human being is superior to any other because of class, color, language, race, or religion. - All human beings do not have to think alike or live the same way. - It's to the benefit of society that all human beings live in peace, understanding, and harmony. Religious Tolerance: - Respect all religions and their followers. - Understand that followers of all religions can live in harmony and peace. - Do not discriminate against the followers of religious sects different from your own. - Understand that religion is a private matter that cannot be forced on anyone else and nobody should be allowed to misuse it for any end, it must be kept separated from politics. - Do not allow criminals in the future to dare to commit crimes in the name of religion, as did the Jahadis and Taliban. Ethnic Tolerance: - Respect all ethnic groups in Afghanistan.

OOPSLA97 Workshop: Resources for Early Object Design Education TITLE: Blue - A System For Teaching Object-Oriented Programming RESOURCE CONTACT: John Rosenberg, Dean, Faculty of Computing and Information Technology, Monash University Email: johnr@fcit.monash.edu.au Email: mik@insect.sd.monash.edu.au GOAL: To provide students with a thorough understanding of object-oriented concepts, especially object-oriented design, by providing visualisation tools for class structures allowing interaction and experimentation with objects supporting incremental development supporting class re-use AUDIENCE: This resource is aimed at first year students in their first object-oriented programming course. It is intended that it be used for the first two semesters, after which the students switch to another, "real-world" language. PREREQUISITES: None. MOTIVATION The system addresses the problem of dealing with the complexity of the concepts associated with object-oriented languages when teaching programming to first year students. Many educators now agree that it is beneficial to teach OO in the first programming course, but are left struggling with the problems of explaining complex concepts to beginning students. Our opinion is that OO programming does not have to be complex, given the right tools.

Site Map Contact the DNR What's New? Newsroom ... Activities In December 2001 U.S. Surgeon General David Satcher released a report decrying the deplorable physical condition into which we Americans have slid. Today, more than ever, it's critical that we teach children to pursue and enjoy physical activity and good health. The good news is, healthy kids and a healthy environment are closely intertwined. Efforts to help children understand and appreciate the natural environment often involve physical activities. Environmental education in areas such as water and air quality form a natural bridge to discussions of personal and public health. At the same time, physical education and health classes can readily incorporate environmental education. In physical education, we can explore activities such as hiking, orienteering, bicycling, archery, and skiing that offer both opportunities to stay fit and incentives to be good stewards of the natural world. The National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion recommends that school health programs include topics such as environmental health. Along with talks about tobacco and nutrition, our children need life lessons on keeping the world around them healthy for themselves and other living things. Here are some suggestions for blending environmental education and physical/health education: Take a hike.

Site Map Contact the DNR What's New? Newsroom ... Activities Sights and sounds - interweaving art, music and environmental education Throughout history, the environment has been a powerful source of inspiration for visual artists and musicians. From the prehistoric cave paintings at Lascaux, France, to Grofe's Grand Canyon Suite, to a modern-day kindergartner drawing lollipop flowers beneath a puff-clouded sky, nature had long found expression in sounds, shape, texture and color. Art and music inspire environmental awareness and appreciation, too. "America the Beautiful," Vivaldi's Four Seasons symphony, an intricate sculpture, or a simple sketch all focus attention on the natural environment and inspire us to nurture and care for it. You can make art and music part of your environmental education efforts in many ways. Drawing or painting helps children see and internalize detail in the world around them. Music evokes mental pictures of scenes in nature and reinforces the link between the outdoors and positive, uplifting feelings. Both art and music reinforce knowledge by helping embed concepts in young minds through the use of multiple senses. Some ideas for weaving art and music into environmental education (and vice versa!):

Georgia Tech Photo: Gary Meek 300 dpi JPG version (769Kb) A virtual reality-based program aimed at making meditation more appealing and easier to learn is under development at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Researchers have created a "meditation chamber," which they have field-tested and are now refining for potential commercialization by a faculty start-up company. In its current form, the program is a 15-minute virtual experience in relaxation techniques and meditation. Users wear a head-mounted display with audio and video that guides them through a series of sunset and moonrise scenes and muscle relaxation exercises. The system also monitors the users' respiration, pulse rate and sweat gland activity (a measure of calmness) to provide real-time biofeedback regarding the effectiveness of the virtual experience.
