K – 2nd Grade – Students will use data to determine whether events are likely or unlikely.K-7 Standard P.PM: Develop an understanding that all matter has observable attributes with physical and chemical properties that are described, measured, and compared. Understand that states of matter exist as solid, liquid, or gas; and have physical and chemical properties. Understand all matter is composed of combinations of elements, which are organized by common attributes and characteristics on the Periodic Table. Understand that substances can be classified as mixtures or compounds and according to their physical and chemical properties. P.PM.E.2: States of Matter- Matter exists in several different states: solids, liquids and gases. Each state of matter has unique physical properties. Gases are easily compressed but liquids and solids do not compress easily. Solids have their own particular shapes, but liquids and gases take the shape of the container http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=706756 The information, presented in an actual ePortfolio format, represents research done by a Special Interest Group from Michigan State University MAET program.

Kellner was an early theorist of the field of critical media literacy and has been a leading theorist of media culture generally. In his recent work, he has increasingly argued that media culture has become dominated by the forms of spectacle and mega-spectacle. He also has contributed important studies of alter-globalization processes, and has always been concerned with counter-hegemonic movements and alternative cultural expressions in the name of a more radically democratic society. Kellner has written with a number of authors, including (with Steven Best) an award-winning trilogy of books on postmodern turns in philosophy, the arts, and in science and technology. More recently, he is known for his work exploring the politically oppositional potentials of new media and attempted to delineate what they term “multiple technoliteracies” as a movement away from the present attempt to standardize a corporatist form of computer literacy. Previously, Kellner served as the literary executor of the famed documentary film maker Emile de Antonio and is presently overseeing the publication of six volumes of the collected papers of the critical theorist Herbert Marcuse. At present, Kellner is the George Kneller Chair in the Philosophy of Education in the Graduate School of Education and Information Studies at the University of California, Los Angeles. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=680126 © Raymond Gozzi and Figure/Ground CommunicationDr. Gozzi was interviewed by Laureano Ralon on August 5th, 2012 as part of the Figure/Ground Communication scholarly interview series:URL: http://figureground.ca/interviews/raymond-gozzi/Raymond Gozzi is Associate Professor at Ithaca College, Ithaca, NY.
