Metaknowledge Metaknowledge or meta-knowledge is knowledge about a preselected knowledge. For the reason of different definitions of knowledge in the subject matter literature, meta-information is or is not included in meta-knowledge. Detailed cognitive, systemic and epistemic study of human knowledge requires a distinguishing of these concepts. but in the common language knowledge includes information, and, for example, bibliographic data are considered as a meta-knowledge. Metaknowledge may be automatically harvested from electronic publication archives, to reveal patterns in research, relationships between researchers and institutions and to identify contradictory results.[2] See also[edit] References[edit] External links[edit]
Legal Marijuana Sales Set To Quadruple By 2018: Study U.S. legal marijuana sales are projected to hit $1.5 billion this year, and that could look like nothing in just a few years. Data from Medical Marijuana Business Daily shows that total sales could quadruple to $6 billion by 2018 on the back of legalization efforts in Washington and Colorado, as well as the growing nationwide medical marijuana industry. The two states both legalized the recreational use of weed in November. Elsewhere, 18 states and Washington, D.C. have made medical marijuana legal, while 10 others have formal measures pending to legalize medical marijuana, according to the National Cannabis Industry Association. That's reflective of a wider acceptance of the drug. Such growing support has led marijuana-tied businesses to pitch their companies to Wall Street investors, the Los Angeles Times reported in March.

New Science Standards: Catalyst for Change? A partnership of 26 states and national organizations released the final Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) last week after working for two years to develop them. The standards—which are internationally benchmarked and based on the National Research Council’s Framework for K–12 Science Education —identify science and engineering practices and content that all K–12 students should master to be prepared for college, careers, and citizenship. The new standards integrate active learning of scientific practices with content to provide context and promote students’ deeper understanding and critical-thinking skills. The standards also emphasize cross-cutting concepts like patterns, cause and effect, and structure and function that bridge all areas of science. As with the Common Core State Standards in English language arts and math, each state will independently decide whether or not to adopt the NGSS.
Cargo The Concord Consortium | Revolutionary digital learning for science, math and engineering Life: What are the top 10 things that we should be informed about, in life Help students succeed on AP tests GetAFive is focused on helping students excel and get the most out of the AP program. The company teamed up with some of the best AP teachers to create unique lesson modules that combine unique video review content and lesson quizzes. The site can help with keeping students on target throughout the school year and making sure they are properly prepped for the exam in May. A pass to GetAFive gets a student complete access through August 31, and up to 18 hours of review videos (broken out into short 10-15 minute lectures), section quizzes, a diagnostic exam, a study room to help them track their progress, and practice exams which they can elect to have hand graded. Teachers can view students’ activity on GetAFive to see what they’re doing and how they’re performing, and can recommend the website to students to use on their time, then make sure they’re studying as much as they should.
