Lucinda takes a look behind the scenes of Comic Relief's grant-making team with Poonam D'Cruze, head of the charity's poverty and injustice programme.Poonam explains the various functions of her team and provides tips for organisations seeking grants from Comic Relief to strengthen their applications.She describes her motivations for entering the funding space after years of working for small charities, driven by a desire to influence the funding landscape and create an ecosystem more responsive to the needs of the communities it supports.She outlines Comic Relief's use of experts by experience to inform the grant-making process, and the charity's commitment to interrogate what is asked of funding applicants, in order to shift some of the onus and burden of applying to the grant-maker.Later in the episode, news editor Steven Downes sheds light on the funding crisis facing hospices.Do you have stories of people whose lives have been transformed for the better thanks to your charity?

SaTP24.mp3 Listen on Posterous News of the Week:1) Forget What You Know About Good Study Habits - NYTimes 2) In a New Role, Teachers Move to Run Schools - NYTimesNEWARK — Shortly after landing at Malcolm X Shabazz High School as a Teach for America recruit, Dominique D. Lee grew disgusted with a system that produced ninth graders who could not name the seven continents or the governor of their state. He started wondering: What if I were in charge? Three years later, Mr. Lee, at just 25, is getting a chance to find out. Today, Mr. Lee and five other teachers — all veterans of Teach for America, a corps of college graduates who undergo five weeks of training and make a two-year commitment to teaching — are running a public school here with 650 children from kindergarten through eighth grade. 3) A Full Year of Algebra Class on Your iPad - Gizmodo ...Houghton Mifflin Harcourt is launching the app, a new Algebra 1 app, in a year-long pilot program in California, allowing students to work through practice questions, take notes, watch video lessons and more on their iPads. The app is the first on HMH Fuse, a platform developed by the publisher for delivering interactive educational content to mobile and touchscreen devices.4) Public Schools Face Lawsuit Over Fees - NYTimes...In the suit, to be filed in a state court in Los Angeles on Friday, the American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California names 35 school districts across California that list on their Web sites the fees their schools charge for courses including art, home economics and music, for Advanced Placement tests and for materials including gym uniforms.5) Article on The iConnected Parent - Inside Higher Ed - on the new book, The iConnected Parent: Staying Close to Your Kids in College (and Beyond) While Letting Them Grow Up...Students who were in the most frequent contact were the least autonomous. Some of these students have parents who are using the calls to continue regulating their behavior as they did in high school, reminding them what and when to study, for example, and these students are the least satisfied with the parental relationship, describing it as controlling and conflictual. Others report a “best friend” phenomenon with their parents, wanting to talk to them daily to tell them everything that is going on, and these students seem to be trading off autonomy for closeness. By contrast, there are families with moderate contact who have learned how to maintain a connection but in healthy ways that permit growing independence of thought and behavior.6) Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy - Stanford Report ...Students, here's an Internet site you can footnote. The entries in the online Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy are written by leading experts and vetted by others before they appear. From quantum mechanics to "Human/Non-Human Chimeras," these articles, based on serious research, attract 700,000 visits per week.Main Topic: Creative Commons, Licensing, Fair Use & Copyright - joined by Student Success Teacher from Kamoka, Ontario, Rodd Lucier of the blog TheCleverSheep. Creative Commons - what is it? what's its history? how can students and educators use it effectively? The Creative Commons site A helpful Scribd synopsis & good starting point for understanding what CC is and how it might benefit student publishing *borrowed from http://www.masternewmedia.org/how-to-publish-a-book-under-a-creative-commons-license/ Open Educational Resources (OER) movement Open High School of Utah’s DeLaina Tonks: Open Education and Policy How do you see the role of Creative Commons within the OER movement? How can CC help?The mission of Creative Commons, to increase sharing and improve collaboration, is powerful for all of the right reasons. It hearkens back to the things we learned in Kindergarten about sharing and playing nice with others. The best part about Creative Commons is the breadth of licensing options available to educators in all arenas, and how nicely they dovetail with open-source curriculum, giving us the ability to select the license that best fits our needs. The challenge becomes increasing awareness, helping educators to understand how best to use Creative Commons and why it is important, and providing a forum in which to publish. The Open High School of Utah is doing its part by releasing several courses at the end of this month, all appropriately CC licensed, of course, which will draw attention to the merits of Creative Commons licensing. Keep up the good work! Connextions - a place to view and share educational material made of small knowledge chunks called modules that can be organized as courses, books, reports, etc. Steven Downes - highlights a variety of resources for open education.

At the time of the writing of the Constitution "science" denoted, broadly, knowledge and learning.
