🚒The Oak children had a great time visiting the Fire Station today! It was amazing for them to learn first-hand about how firefighters work to keep our community safe. They even got a chance to operate the hose!

👶🎨 Embrace the mess! Messy play is crucial for babies' development, sparking creativity and sensory exploration. We always say don't worry about nursery clothes getting dirty - it's all part of the fun and learning process!

In less than three minutes, you can improve almost any conference sessions with pair share: for introductions, active learning, and closings.

This Sunday was Bare Foot Day! 👣 Did you know that going barefoot helps children develop proprioception, which is crucial for balance and coordination? Giving your child access to bare foot climbing opportunities or walking on different textures in a way that's managed safely is a great way to develop this skill.

Supporting connection between participants at our events allows them to take full advantage of the collective wisdom in the room.

Destroy the conference to save it! If we try to save conferences by keeping them the way they've always been, we'll destroy them.

Title: Aboveground #biomass mapping of Canada with #SAR and optical satellite observations aided by #activelearning 🧪

Aboveground biomass mapping of Canada with SAR and optical satellite observations aided by active learning

National forest inventory (NFI) data has become an indispensable reference for model training and validation when estimating forest abovegroundbiomass (AGB) using satellite observations. However, obtaining statistically sufficient NFI data for model training is challenging for countries with vast land areas and extensive forest coverage like Canada. This study aims to directly upscale all available NFI data into high-resolution (30-m) spatially continuous AGB and explicit uncertainties maps across Canada’s treed land, using seasonal Sentinel 1&2 and yearly mosaic of L-band SyntheticApertureRadar (SAR) observations. To address the poor performance with limited training dataset, failure to extrapolate prediction beyond the bound of the training dataset and cannot provide spatially explicit uncertainties that are inherent to the commonly used RandomForest (RF) model, the GaussianProcessRegression (GPR) model and active learning optimization was introduced. The models were trained using stratified 10-fold cross-validation (ST10CV) and optimized by Euclidean distance-based diversity with bidirectional active learning (EBD-BDAL) before extrapolated on the GoogleEarthEngine ( GEE ) platform. The GPR model optimized with EBD-BDAL estimated Canada’s 2020 treed land AGB at 40.68 ± 6.8 Pg, with managed and unmanaged forests accounting for 82 % and 18 %, respectively. Trees outside forest ecosystems account for 2 % (0.8 Pg AGB) of total AGB in Canada’s treed land, and there are 0.1134 Pg

Providing downtime during any meeting is important, but scheduling breaks during online meetings is especially important.

📉 Students were failing.
📈 Now they’re thriving—with 28 assessments in 30 days!

The secret?
Flipped classrooms + spaced repetition.

This combo didn’t just raise grades—it transformed learning.

Don't just passively read; actively engage with your learning through the art of note-taking. It's a conversation with the material to make them your own. When you study, you're not just reviewing; you're reinforcing the foundations of your success. #ActiveLearning #Study #FutureSuccess

You can build active learning and connection into meetings using pair share. Here's why and when to use trio share rather than pair share.
