How to Be a Ventriloquist...Learn Here!
An ancient curse sends a stone silo crashing across the countryside. Houses, barns, and cars are crushed in its path. The silo contains a giant scroll, sent by the foul Spellbinder to imprison the entire earth within its vast, unrolling page. Even the mighty Librarian is overpowered by the Spellbinder's steamrolling magic. Can anyone stop the smashing scroll?
The Story of Human Rights...then check out the videoclips illustrating the 30 rights we all possess as human beings!
"This clay cylinder is inscribed in Babylonian cuneiform with an account by Cyrus, king of Persia (559-530 BC) of his conquest of Babylon in 539 BC and capture of Nabonidus, the last Babylonian king. This cylinder has sometimes been described as the 'first charter of human rights', but it in fact reflects a long tradition in Mesopotamia where, from as early as the third millennium BC, kings began their reigns with declarations of reforms." ~ British Museum, where it is kept.

Common Sense Education and Remind: Digital Citizenship Starter Kit
Common Sense Education and Remind have teamed up to build a weeklong unit that teaches the importance of safe digital communication, while also introducing the teacher, students and parents to Remind's new tool, Chat. So, while you are teaching a well-structured, age-specific, unit on digital citizenship, you are also learning how to use Chat, a tool will be incredibly beneficial to your classroom communication beyond the unit.
Teachinctrl.org
Filled with lessons that include videos, articles and activities, InCtrl from Cable Impacts teaches key digital citizenship concepts. This series of lessons is geared towards grades 4 through 8. Focusing on this age group makes sense. As I mentioned above, the earlier you reach your students with digital citizenship education, the better.
Digizen.org
Digizen has a wealth of resources that touch on topics from safe social networking to protecting your students from cyberbullying. While there are resources for teachers, Digizen has also provided information aimed at parents and students. While we as teachers can do everything in our power to teach digital citizenship, we are but one part of the puzzle of safe online activity.

"And while I was talking, the idea of actually losing Peeta hit me again and I realized how much I don't want him to die. And it's not about the sponsors. And it's not about what will happen when we get home. And it's not just that I don't want to be alone. It's him. I do not want to lose the boy with the bread."

Reading is a window to the world.
Inquiry provides a framework for learning.
Ethical behavior in the use of information must be taught.
Technology skills are crucial for future employment needs.
Equitable access is a key component for education.
The definition of information literacy has become more complex as resources and technologies have changed.
The continuing expansion of information demands that all individuals acquire the thinking skills that will enable them to learn on their own.
Learning has a social context.
School libraries are essential to the development of learning skills.
"Reading is the single most important skill necessary for a happy, productive and successful life. A child that is an excellent reader is a confident child, has a high level of self esteem and is able to easily make the transition from learning to read to reading to learn."

Explore the Star Wars Universe...
A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away, there were three movies. Then a holiday special. Then three more movies. And animated TV shows. And video games! And books! So many wonderful books! Over the decades, the beloved Star Wars universe became just that: a universe. Okay, so it's technically a galaxy, but that's still pretty darn big. Much of it spread through novels. Lucasfilm deemed Timothy Zahn's Thrawn trilogy– Heir to the Empire, Dark Force Rising, and The Last Command –the official continuation of the movies. These novels, and several after, were the next generation of the Star Wars saga. Read more of the Star Wars Canon here...And check out more by visiting your CMS LMC!
The CMS LMC is committed to being not just a place to come and consume information, it is changing into a place to create, to innovate, and to inspire. As lessons become increasingly interdisciplinary and project-based, more online resources will be used to give our students the tools to stretch their imaginations. insights and knowledge. The role of the CMS LMC remains much the same, "to provide help and access to resources for our school community." This website is an extension of our mission here at CMS.

Cia Vale is honored to be chosen as a Testing candidate; eager to prove her worthiness as a University student and future leader of the United Commonwealth. But on the eve of her departure, her father's advice hints at a darker side to her upcoming studies – trust no one.
But surely she can trust Tomas, her handsome childhood friend who offers an alliance? Tomas, who seems to care more about her with the passing of every grueling (and deadly) day of the Testing. To survive, Cia must choose: love without truth or life without trust. READ it as an ebook in our new digital library!

It's Ferris Bueller meets Home Alone as their battle with Principal Dwight explodes into chaos both real and imagined.

Meanwhile, Rafe struggles to hide his misbehavior from Jeanne, the straight-A, overachieving girl of his dreams, and at home, his mother's boyfriend -- a moochy, jack-of-no-trades named Bear -- threatens to become his stepfather.

Q: Python read file line by line and convert to dictionary I have below data in file.sec:
goog,100
goog,101
goog,103
micro,200
micro,201
face,99

I want to convert this data into a dictionary:
{'goog' : [100,101,103] , 'micro' : [200 , 201] , 'face' : [99]}
I tried below code, but it wipes out the list whenever value changes from goog to micro and result I get is: {'goog' : [99] , 'micro' : [99] , 'face':[99]}
allD = {}
allN = []
f = open('file.sec' , 'r')
for data in f:
   com = data.split(',')[0]

   if com not in allD.keys():
      del allN[:]

   allN.append( data.split(',')[1] )

   allD[ com ] = allN

 print allD

A: You could use defaultdict
from collections import defaultdict

result = defaultdict(list)

f = open('file.sec' , 'r')
for data in f:
    com = data.split(',')[0]
    result[com].append(data.split(',')[1]

A: You could use a defaultdict to solve this:
from collections import defaultdict

data_dict = defaultdict(list)

f = open('file.sec' , 'r')
for data in f:
    key, value = data.split(',')
    data_dict[key].append(value)

Note that i've written this in python 3 syntax, so you may need to do it slightly differently for python 2.

A: You are not far, but there is a misunderstanding on what a Python assignment is. When you write allD[ com ] = allN, allD[com] is not a copy of allN but is just another reference to the very same object. So when you later clean allN with del allN[:] you actually clean the last allD[com]. You should instead use a new object:
allD = {}
allN = []
f = open('file.sec' , 'r')
for data in f:
   com = data.split(',')[0]

   if com not in allD.keys():
      allN = []
      allD[ com ] = allN

   allN.append( data.split(',')[1] )

 print allD

A: An example without defaultdict :
allD = {}
allN = []
f = open('data.csv', 'r')
for data in f:
    com = data.split(',')[0]

    if com not in allD.keys():
        allD[com] = []

    allD[com].append(data.split(',')[1].strip())

print(allD)
