This Week's Current The Classroom Flyer Life Science Biology ... Sports The Groundhog Equation A Brief History If the groundhog emerges from its burrow and sees its shadow, that's an omen for six more weeks of winter, and the groundhog returns underground. However, if the groundhog emerges from its burrow and doesn't see its shadow, it's a sign of spring, and the groundhog stays above ground. What's the story behind Groundhog's Day? According to an old Scottish rhyme, "If Candlemas is fair and clear, There'll be two winters in the year." Candlemas, a holy day dating back to the early Christians, was celebrated on February 2, 40 days after Christmas, and midway between the winter solstice and the spring equinox. On this day it was customary for priests to distribute candles that had been blessed to the people. The Romans carried Candlemas to the lands they conquered, and eventually the tradition made its way across Europe. The Germans added a hedgehog seeing its shadow which is more in keeping with present day tradition. If the animal sees its shadow (on a day that is "fair and clear"), it portends bad weather (thus "two winters"). Six weeks was thought to be the duration of the second winter.

Learning Technology and Groundhog Day J Terence Mayes Abstract Learning technology has been through several previous cycles involving high expectation of a revolution in educational practice, followed by complete disappointment. This time there are new reasons for optimism, yet the expectation will again be unfulfilled unless the technology meets real learner needs. To understand what these needs are a theory of learning in educational settings is required. Such a theory should then guide the further development of learning technology. Here, an account of learning as a continuous cycle of refining concepts is described, providing a framework for understanding educational need, and indicating where technology might best meet that need. Stages of learning are mapped onto types of courseware, and a new kind of support for the crucial role of dialogue is proposed. Introduction In Groundhog Day the hero escapes from the loop by finally recognising his true nature. Are we now at the point of breaking free in education? Expectations are again high (MacFarlane Report, 1993). It is very widely believed that this time is different, and the educational systems of the near-future will be radically different from those that have long characterised organised teaching and learning. Let us first consider why this might or might not be true in the context of UK higher education. What's different now?

PROJECT GROUNDHOG OUR GROUNDHOG'S NAME AND SHADOW RESULTS FOR FEBRUARY 2, 2001 AUSTINBURG ELEMENTARY IN AUSTINBURG OHIO, USA Hi, Our groundhog's name is Chuckie G.. We created a long list of names and then voted for our favorite name. Chuckie G. won by a landslide. The G. stands for Groundhog. He has had three years of predicting experience. He was correct in 1998 and incorrect in 1999 and 2000 on predicting the coming of spring On Groundhog's Day we made paper groundhogs, visited sites about Groundhog Day and groundhogs on the Internet, and discussed groundhogs and weather predicting. We had planned to take Chuckie on the playground during our lunch recess, but we had inside recess due to a low wind chill temperature with snowy and icy conditions. We placed him in his favorite window with two friends (a beaver and a hedgehog). The entire morning was snowy and cloudy and he did not see his shadow nor did his friends see their shadows. Because this means we will have an early Spring, Chuckie G. has decided to stay in our classroom and help us gather our weather information for Project Groundhog. We are hoping he is right this year. We are also working on web pages about Project Groundhog at our classroom web site. We would like to include the information you send us about your groundhogs and areas to share with our families and friends. We will not include any children's names nor the e-mail address of your class/school on the web pages. If you do not want us to post the things you send to us please let us know.

Glen Hills School Newton Stories The Day Shakespeare Came to Teach Me by Corey One day I said I wanted to read better. Then an owl flew through the window and landed on my desk! He said, "Hi, my name is Shakespeare. You want to read better?" I said, "Yes." And he gave me a huge book and said, "Try to read this." I said OK. When I was done he gave me cards with hard words on them. He said, "Read them to me." Then he said, "You are the best reader I ever saw!" So then he gave me the hardest word he could think of. Today I got my report card. My Mom and Dad said, "I am proud of you. You did so good in reading." From that day on I did so good in reading. I got A+'s. When the years went by I got better and better at reading. Every reading lesson Shakespeare comes in, gives me a lesson, then flies our of state and goes to another state. He goes from state to state and he never stops teaching a lesson on reading hard, hard books. A New Day by Colette A Story About Galileo by Katie Z One day Galileo came to my desk. He said, "I will teach you how to do social studies like maps." He told me that you have to start at the beginning. Then you find the way that has no signs you can not get through. When you get to the bottom, then you know how to read a map.
