YELLOW DUST Let's look at some facts of Hwangsa (Yellow Dust). This article is from asiasociety.org.The Asia Society is a non-profit organization that focuses on educating the world about Asia.  Originating in the deserts of Northern China and Mongolia, Yellow Dust is whisked into the atmosphere by strong winds and carried to the Korean Peninsula via the jet stream. Other than reduced visibility, when the dust arrives it brings along industrial pollutants (like pesticides), viruses, fungi, bacteria, and even heavy metals, none of which are good for respiratory health. Health Risks: When Yellow Dust reaches an u n h e a l t h y c o n c e n t r a t i o n , a ro u n d 4 0 0 micrograms/cubic meter, people are warned to limit their outdoor activity, especially in regards to heavy exercise and sports. Healthy people can develop sore throats and dry eyes, and children, the elderly, and people with previous respiratory health conditions are advised to remain indoors. In some cases the concentration of Yellow Dust will exceed 800 micrograms/cubic meter, whereupon schools will be closed, outdoor events cancelled and a general warning issued to stay indoors unless going outside is absolutely necessary. RIS has Air-pollution policy, and we limit children's outdoor activities when Fine Dust or Yellow Dust level is high.

MacBook Blackout Times With Mr. Bulut
21 Things That Will Become Obsolete in Education by Year 2020 Shelly Blake-Plock, an educator and education blogger posted an article at The Daily Riff on December 2010, suggesting that some very common elements of today’s formal education are going to be out of date and no longer used within a decade. Among the things that Blake-Plock advocates that will be vanished are student desks, computers, homework, college entrance exams, paperback books and use of paper! List actually goes on. Some people think that these can form a fantastic wish list rather then an actual prediction. Since it has been already 5 years after this blog published, you decide if our classroom can change so drastically by year 2020 to become something quite different from what we have today.

Time Restrictions Implemented on Student MacBooks As part of our 1:1 MacBook Pro program, we are setting time limits on students’ computer use as a school policy. This policy will prevent student MacBooks from being used after a certain time every evening. According to our current computer usage curfew policy, student computers will shut down themselves automatically between 10:30PM and 7:30AM during school nights and weekend nights. Within this time window MacBooks will not be available. If you have any questions about this policy please directly contact the school principal, Mr. Emin or Mr. Bulut.
