Auxy is a digital-music-creation app for iOS that focuses on beats and electronic music. It's gorgeously designed, offering a simple-to-hop-into experience that has tons of depth. To start creating your track, add a melodic instrument or drum sound from the app's built-in sound pack. Then, press and hold to edit your loop, duplicate it, or toggle a 12-tone chromatic scale or an 8-tone major, minor, or harmonic minor scale. The next screen shows a grid. Each column represents a note of the scale, and each row is a single beat. Tap the boxes in each row to indicate which notes you want to play on each beat. You can add as many instruments as you like to your one-, two-, or four-bar loop. Then, swipe to the right on-screen to create the next loop in your song with the same instruments. Tap the gear at the top of the screen to alter settings for your project (such as tempo and key).
From the menu at right, you can render your project and then export it directly to SoundCloud or save it as a video, audio, or uncompressed WAV file to your device. You can also export your project as a MIDI file or export the individual instruments. The top-left menu lets you browse built-in projects and your own creations, and you can also browse and download additional sound packs. You can also browse other users' creations on SoundCloud or view the Auxy Instagram feed.

In this lesson students are introduced to the concept of “avatars” and share their experiences creating and playing avatars in video games and virtual worlds. They then create avatars using a program that is intentionally limited in terms of available body types and gender markers, first creating an avatar of their own gender and then of the opposite gender, and then discuss the program and relate it to representations of gender and body image in games and virtual worlds and in other media. Students then create avatars using a much more flexible version of the program and compare that experience to the more limited version. Finally, students use the more versatile program to create avatars that represent how they see themselves and how they would like others to see them online and reflect on the choices that went into creating them.

The inspiration for this site came from John Allen Paulos' book Innumeracy. From it Fawn Nguyen took the mathematical fun facts, etc. and created middle school mathematics critical thinking problems that relate to ratios and proportional reasoning and require students to compare stuff and really get them thinking.
Here's an example: Tortoises have the longest lifespan among vertebrates, about 200 years.
A fruit fly's lifespan is about 45 days. If we scaled both lifespans down so that a tortoise's 200 years is now 1 day, then what is the fruit fly's lifespan, in seconds?

The Atlanta 1996 Olympic men’s 4x100m relay captured the eyes of the world. It was a showdown between the USA host team and the Canadian underdogs. Few people noticed that the team’s starting runner, Carlton Chambers, was not racing at his best. He had sustained a slight injury and hoped that it would be better for the final. After a discussion with the team, the truth was evident and he knew he had to step down for the good of the team. Fortunately, Robert Esmie was waiting in the wings and ready to fulfill his role as team reserve. The race was an epic moment in Canadian sport history. The gold medal likely would not have been won, except for Carlton’s teamwork.
This resource shows students that teamwork requires that you put the good of the team first. Sometimes that means making personal sacrifices like letting someone else take your spot or play a role you would have liked to play yourself.
Download the complete lesson, featuring the following outcomes: - Identify characteristics of successful teams and team members; - Understand how to practice effective teamwork; - Learn how to take teamwork experiences in the classroom and apply them to everyday challenges.

"‘Tis the season of gratitude and reflection, of homecomings and joyous tidings... At least, that’s what the end-of-year holiday time usually brings. While we acknowledge that this year has been anything but usual, simply saying “2020 is different” feels like too obvious an understatement.
Many of us simply aren’t ready or even willing to reflect on a year of thwarted plans, grave safety concerns, and extraordinary challenges to our core values and identities. Even so, we realize that some kind of closure, however small or personal, is essential to moving forward with courage and wholeheartedness.
With this toolkit, we share our favorite practices for heart-centered breathwork, movement and mindful presence. The journey of returning to joy can carry us through sorrow, anger or exhaustion, and we provide tools here to support you with release, relief and rest.
