Intensional communities are composed of intensional programs sharing a common context, implemented using a networked context server, called the AEPD aether process daemon. The programs are written in the ISE intensional imperative scripting language, which is illustrated through versioned assignments in undergraduate classes. Using this model of intensional communities, two examples are develop...

The collected works of English mathematics educator, Mary Boole, might be invaluable for education and curriculum research that attempts to understand the question: “what counts as knowing?” Even though it was written before 1916, Boole’s work allows curriculum researchers and teacher educators interested in the question to experience a significant shift in thinking. For example, in the followi...

The described interdisciplinary course helped a mixed population of in-service secondary English and biology teacher-participants increase their genetics content knowledge and awareness of Ethical, Legal, and Social Implications (ELSI) that arose from discoveries and practices associated with the Human Genome Project. This was accomplished by applying a critical literacy approach that allows pe...

How does the literacy teacher negotiate the tensions between skills and social practice? Negotiation requires engaging with the debate in which literacy is seen as a set of discrete, transferable skills, dependent upon cognitive development, to the notion of literacies which are bound to social practice, and adapting teaching practices which align these two perspectives.
