How to help those affected by fires raging across Los Angeles County Those looking to assist residents affected by the Los Angeles County firestorm have a number of options to donate money, materials or their time.

The stories and images coming from Southern California are heartbreaking and devastating. I am thinking of my many friends who have evacuated and all of you in LA.

"We are building toward a world, I think, where a teacher or a school district can upload curriculum, academic standards, & the school year calendarβ€”& then the AI can work with a teacher to plan the entire year with a calendar that includes not just scope and sequence, but pacing."

It's gratifying to receive this recognition for Edutopia.org. As George Lucas powerfully reminds us, "Education is the single most important endeavor of the human race." This recognition celebrates that profound truth and the remarkable community bringing it to life. 🌟
