ALARM- A Learning And Responding Matrix. A summary of what Frank Pikardt and Max Reed from Freshwater Senior Campus told us about the system they had devised for their school. As teachers we need to do more than just pass on information‚ we need t o show others how to learn. Literacy needs to be taught specifically in each subject‚ concurrently with the content. ALARM is not an instant fix- at Freshwater Senior Campus number of Grade 6 results increased from 34 in 2006 to 116 in 2010. This was with

A ‘clock’ is an instrument used to specify‚ record‚ and manage time. The word ‘clock’ comes from the French word “cloche” meaning bell‚ came into use when timekeepers were kept in bell towers in the Middle Ages. Historians do not who or when mankind “invented” a time-keeping device or a “clock”. Probably thousands of years ago when someone stuck a stick in the ground and saw a shadow of the sun move across the ground‚ known as the sundial. (Cummings‚ 1997-2012). After the Samarian culture

Water clocks‚ along with sundials‚ are likely to be the oldest time-measuring instruments‚ with the only exceptions being the vertical gnomon and the day-counting tally stick.[1] Where and when they were first invented is not known‚ and given their great antiquity it may never be. The bowl-shaped outflow is the simplest form of a water clock and is known to have existed in Babylon and in Egypt around the 16th century BC. Other regions of the world‚ including India and China‚ also have early evidence

Staying away from false alarms At times we could be faced with problems as a result of the actions we take in using alarm system. This happens when we use the alarms for the wrong purpose. This can occur when your kid accidentally triggers the alarm system. By doing this you will be held responsible for the expenses that the company offering service will incur in dealing with the false alarm. Why should you go through all these while you could have avoided the situation from occurring? This would

Infrared security alarm Introduction: Not so long ago an alarm was a fairly rare sight‚ however now almost every house has an alarm of some kind. One common kind of security system is an infrared home security system. These are so popular because they are easy to install without having to drill holes and lay cable infrared radiation is invisible to the human eye but can be detected by electronic devices designed for such a purpose. The sensors are set at the door or some supervised

1.0 Introduction According to (Baillie et al.‚ p. 307; Palmer‚ p. 19) “A clock is an instrument used to indicate‚ keep‚ and co-ordinate time. The word clock is derived ultimately (via Dutch‚ Northern French‚ and Medieval Latin) from the Celtic words clagan and clocca meaning "bell". A silent instrument lacking such a mechanism has traditionally been known as a timepiece.” Design and accuracy of clocks have evolved along with progression of technology and industry and even though their main

Automatic alerts and/or alarms are a system that converts information on the progress of a monitored process or the condition of a monitored system into a signal suitable for human perception. Generally light or sound signals are used‚ for example‚ the flashing of a lamp‚ the ringing of a bell‚ or the sounding of a siren. Use of alarms has made a significant impact on nursing as we know it‚ by alerting clinicians that something wrong with patients or alarming nurses that something is in need of our
