6/19/2020

Common Sense Media: 5 Signs of Screen Overload--and How to Handle Them

6/18/2020

Gymnasts know that there's a fraction of an inch between a flawless routine -- and total disaster. Parents, too, know that managing screen time can be a balancing act. Sure, movies, games, television, and online activities can be lifesavers when you're juggling caregiving, homeschooling, and working. But even when you're on your game -- choosing high-quality, age-appropriate content, getting outside, talking to kids about their games and shows -- your kid can have a complete meltdown after three (or was it four?) episodes of Avatar: The Last Airbender. Recognizing the moment between "all good" and "my bad!" isn't always obvious. We've identified five common warning signs that your kid's screen balance is tipping into the trouble zone, and effective strategies for getting back on solid ground.

Josh McDowell Devotions: You Want Me to Build What?

6/18/2020

Bible Reading: 1 Corinthians 13:8-12
Now we see things imperfectly as in a poor mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. 1 Corinthians 13:12

Whack, whack, whack. The sound of hammers echoes across the valley. An old man’s neighbors watch him with amusement. They’ve seen him do strange stuff over the years, but this is the weirdest. They can’t help but laugh at him.
The old man and his grown sons ignore the laughter. Instead, they keep on working. A nail here, a board there. Piece by piece they see the creation take shape.
“That crazy old fool!” somebody hoots. “Why is he filling his house with hay? Hasn’t he heard of furniture?”...

Wide Open School

6/17/2020

We hope that Wide Open School helps make learning from home an experience that inspires kids, supports teachers, relieves families, and restores community.
This site was built in a matter of days on a shared vision. We plan to keep building until things get back to normal. A group of more than 25 organizations came together and raised their hands to help, and many more are joining on a daily basis. Watch for new features and content partners frequently.

Wide Open School is a free collection of the best online learning experiences for kids curated by the editors at Common Sense. There is so much good happening, and we are here to gather great stuff and organize it so teachers and families can easily find it and plan each day.

This crisis has reminded us of our deep appreciation for the work teachers do every day in their classrooms. At Wide Open School, we celebrate teachers—and parents—as they take on this new challenge. We'll discover and highlight teachers who are figuring out how to light up an online classroom and invite them to share their tips and wisdom to help blend home and school. Wide Open School can only fulfill its mission if all kids and families can access it. We know that millions of kids are without home broadband and/or computers, leaving them without access to critical learning and support services. We will persistently highlight the need to connect all kids, and we won't rest until we have played our part in closing the digital divide. As we do so, Wide Open School will offer many resources that can be completed offline and on smartphones, as well as bilingual and English-language learner resources.

How to Geek: What Is Google Meet, and How Can You Use It for Free?

6/17/2020

Until April 2020, to use Google Meet, you had to buy a G Suite plan. Now, though, Google has released a free version, and it’s available to anyone with a Google or Gmail account.

You can create or join a Google Meet, and add up to 100 participants on a video call. At this writing, there isn’t a time limit on calls, but starting September 30, calls will be limited to 60 minutes. This is in stark contrast to Zoom, though, which limits free video conferences to only 40 minutes.

Google Hangouts still exists, and you can use it to chat or conduct video calls with up to 25 participants. Google Duo is the company’s mobile-focused video-chat app. It’s also still alive and thriving, and you can now add up to 12 participants.

How to Geek: Does It Really Take 60 Seconds to Trace a Phone Call?

6/15/2020

How do you trace a phone call? According to TV shows and films, you just have to keep someone talking long enough for a detective to pinpoint his location. While this overused trope can add some tension when paired with a timer ever-so-slowly ticking down, it doesn’t really match reality.

6/10/2020

Three hundred and seventy-four flips per second or 22,440 rpm: That’s how quickly globular springtails spin when they jump from standing position.

Josh McDowell: "Wrong Way"

6/8/2020

Bible Reading: Isaiah 43:1-4
Do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you. I have called you by name; you are mine. Isaiah 43:1

University of California football player Roy Riegels made Rose Bowl history back in 1929. In the second quarter of the game, he scooped up a Georgia Tech fumble and headed for the wrong end zone. He was tackled—by a teammate-just before crossing the goal line. His mistake would have earned Georgia Tech six points. Riegels’s team had to punt from their own end zone. Georgia Tech blocked the kick, resulting in a two-point safety that eventually won the game for Georgia Tech.
