Pound\u27s Composition of Canto 16: \u27jèntendis des voix
No full textDraws on manuscripts, correspondence, and other sources in his detailed examination of Pound\u27s composition of Canto 16 from its earliest stages to publication in the Three Mountains Press (1925). Noting that Pound finished writing Canto 16 at the same time he finished editing in our time, Beall speculates on the influence of Hemingway\u27s chapter VI ( Nick sat against the wall ). Briefly comments on Pound\u27s desire for Hemingway to read his war Canto and Hemingway\u27s concern over Pound\u27s use of multiple voices

Get PDFUsing Immersive Virtual Reality for Student Learning: A Qualitative Case Study
Get PDFABSTRACT
The prominence of virtual reality (VR) in the educational field has grown in recent years due to increased availability and lower costs. I conducted a global study regarding how pioneering K-12 teachers use VR to engage students in learning activities. The purpose of this qualitative case study was to identify how and why teachers used VR for student learning. Fifteen educators from five continents participated in the study. They described their initial VR experiences and how these experiences motivated them to pursue ways to implement VR in their disciplinary fields. I used the video conference tool “Zoom” to conduct interviews. Participants described the “spark” of discovery and recognition of VR for learning. They explained measures to obtain permission, approaches to funding, and the implementation process. Participants developed structures for student learning, transformed physical spaces, and invented pedagogies to ensure positive learning experiences. Participants provided optimal immersive experiences by repurposing content and adopting other applications to achieve learning goals. Three levels of incorporating VR for student learning were identified, including: (1) exploration; (2) acquiring and applying disciplinary knowledge; and (3) content creation and interactive problem solving. The quality of headsets dictated the level(s) of implementation. Dewey’s (1923) experiential learning theories as well as the Technology, Pedagogy, and Content Knowledge framework (TPACK; Mishra & Koehler, 2006) helped to interpret data. Successful implementation requires collaboration and pedagogical modifications and administrative support. This study highlights the successful methods and practices for others considering the implementation of VR for K-12 student learning.

Law Enforcement Perspectives on Public Access to Misconduct Records
No full textLaw enforcement officers around the country are accused of misconduct every day. Their misconduct is alleged and documented in the form of civilian complaints, internal affairs reports, performance reviews, disciplinary board findings, body camera footage, and other records. These misconduct records contain information that is arguably both relevant to the public’s interest in holding law enforcement officers accountable and personal to the officer. The question of who may access these records is highly controversial and hotly disputed. Laws protecting misconduct records from disclosure are often enacted at the behest of law enforcement unions who claim that public access would seriously harm officers in the form of loss of privacy, damage to reputation, and even physical danger via retaliation. Conversely, transparency advocates argue that preventing public access to these records disincentivizes reform and creates environments where abusive departments and officers remain unaccountable
Imitating the Divine Interruption of Deteriorating Human Conversations: Speaking the Gospel in a New Language
Get PDFRecent scholarship uses the metaphor of language to articulate why, even with good intentions, we Christians can hand on meanings and values at odds with the Christian message. Our “native” languages foreground our worlds, readily conforming our minds to the very realm we are called to transform (Rom 12:2). Related to the problem of “languages” is the brokenness of our conversations, themselves. Conversation can become a tool of destruction rather than a means of transformation. We Christians need a “new foundational language” in which to communicate the kerygma. This language is capable not only of communicating meanings and values that are faithful to the Christian message, but it is also capable of healing the very conversations we have by healing “the conversation that we are.” This article suggests how we Christians can learn a new foundational language by unfolding the radical consequences of our Trinitarian belief
