Mercury was born in Zanzibar and sent to India at a young age for school, where he developed his musical talents. He later formed Queen with Brian May and Roger Taylor. Mercury kept his diagnosis with AIDS private until shortly before his death in 1991 at the age of 45.
The document discusses using blogs and Web 2.0 technologies in education. Blogs provide an easy way for students to practice reading and writing online. They encourage a sense of community and process-based writing. Teachers can use blogs to post resources for students and respond to student work. While blogs engage students and encourage collaboration, teachers must address potential pitfalls like unwanted comments and privacy issues when using Web 2.0 technologies.
Pundit is a semantic annotation tool that allows users to create structured annotations linked to controlled vocabularies and ontologies. These semantically structured annotations make the added knowledge machine-interpretable and can be automatically processed to enhance applications like search engines, recommender systems, and digital libraries. The tool is being developed and tested in several EU projects focused on semantic technologies for digital libraries.
This document promotes the creation of presentations on SlideShare using Haiku Deck and provides examples of photos credited to various photographers. It encourages the reader to get started making their own Haiku Deck presentation by providing a link to do so.
Facebook. Pretty much every panel at SXSW will be talking about it to some degree, and you know how valuable and vital it can be to a musical career and a musician's connection to fans. But just having an account isn't enough, and today there are unspoken rules and powerful tools that you can harness with Facebook. How do you get noticed? How do they differ? What are the best ways to connect without annoying fans? This presentation explores social marketing best practices, tailored to Facebook, in particular addressing the changes to Timeline.

The document provides guidance for organizing an oral presentation in three parts: introduction, body, and conclusion. The introduction should catch the audience's attention, state the presentation topics. The body should cover each topic in order with examples and visuals, pausing between topics. The conclusion should summarize the topics and restate the presentation aim, thanking the audience. Presenters are advised to speak loudly, clearly without reading, use body language, and engage with the audience.
The document introduces the SemLib project, which aims to develop semantic web tools for digital libraries. Specifically, it will develop a semantic annotation system and recommender system. The semantic annotation system will allow users to generate and share structured annotations on digital objects in a way that is published as linked data. This supports engagement of both expert and non-expert users in enriching digital library collections. The document outlines the project details, expected outputs, use cases, system requirements, and proposed annotation and sharing models.
Rethinking literacy education in new times reinildesbruna_fontoura
This document discusses new approaches to literacy education called multiliteracies, multimodality, and new literacies. It notes literacy now involves multiple modes of meaning-making beyond just reading and writing, like visuals, sounds, and designs. New literacies are shaped by emerging technologies and involve multimodal meaning-making across varied modes. While research has not fully established the impact of multimodal communication, the document argues it is important for educators to learn how to use different communication modes for classroom learning to help students participate in today's world.
SDA2013 Pundit: Creating, Exploring and Consuming AnnotationsMarco Grassi
The document describes Pundit, a semantic annotation tool that allows users to create, explore, and consume semantic annotations. Pundit uses an annotation model based on the Open Annotation Collaboration specification. It allows users to organize annotations into notebooks and provides APIs to programmatically access and visualize the annotation data.
The document discusses Candy Chang's public art project called "Before I Die" where she invited people to write their dreams and goals on a wall to share what they want to accomplish before dying. It then lists responses from 21 people, which include desires like being tried for piracy, singing for millions, holding someone one more time, being completely oneself, being very rich and falling truly in love, reaching nirvana, building one's own house, traveling universally and to specific locations, making a second season of a project, being buried by strangers after death, and living fully as an alive person.

The Audio-lingual method and The Silent Waybruna_fontoura
The document outlines principles of the Oral Approach to language teaching. It emphasizes oral-based instruction through repetition of dialogs, role plays, and drills. Grammar and vocabulary are taught implicitly through oral exercises rather than explicit instruction. The teacher leads students through modeling and chaining to promote automatic use of language without stopping to think. Pronunciation is taught from the beginning through minimal pairs.
