8 points Look at the food web. In your response, answer the following questions
correctly for full credit: a) Identify the producers, primary consumers, and
secondary consumers in the ecosystem. b) What would happen if all the
hawks in this ecosystem were to die from an illness? c) Why would you
expect there to be fewer foxes than caterpillars in this ecosystem? d)
Which organism would have the smallest population? (8 points)

A) Grass and ferns are the producer. Rabbits, Grasshoppers and caterpillars are the primary consumers. The robin, foxes and hawks are the secondary consumers. B) If the hawks died, the rabbits and foxes would over-populate the area. The rabbits would over graze the ferns and make it harder for the caterpillars to feed. The foxes would over graze on the robins, potentially wiping them out. This would allow the grasshopper to grow out-of-control leading to the loss of the second food source for the caterpillars. Eventually, the ecosystem would crash. C) The higher up the food pyramid you go, the smaller the population has to be. Foxes are higher up than caterpillars so they have to have a smaller population. D) The hawks has to have the smallest population.

Schools are being forced to embrace computers. unlike their "digital immigrant" teachers, these students are "digital natives", born into a world where technology is an integral part of everyday life. almost every student has access to a multitude of computers, laptops and tablet devices. it would be crazy to assume an assignment would  notbe written on computer in this day and age.many schools now have a 1-to-1 computer policy, and many districts and states in the united states have mandated computers or ipads across the state for every student,  including los angeles, the second largest school district in the country.but the thing is, when they tried it in la, it wasn't the success they hoped for. that's because the tablets weren't used as much as they expected. rather, it appeared there was a gap between the digital native's love of technology and their use of it in the classroom.this conflicted relationship with computers is also underscored by much of the literature on education. it is also highlighted in professional development and conferences such as  edutech.
