Jogos de leitura e escrita para aprender a ler - Aga khanSandra Rebelo
A aprendizagem da leitura e da escrita é um processo complexo, com início antes da escolaridade formal, no qual intervêm a dimensão social e cultural da língua, uma componente linguística e a relação pedagógica. Estudos sobre literacia emergente têm demonstrado uma forte correlação entre práticas de literacia, o desenvolvimento de um conjunto de competências de literacia emergente evidenciadas nos anos pré-escolares e o posterior sucesso na aprendizagem formal da leitura e escrita. A preparação para o sucesso nesta aprendizagem passará pela promoção de um ambiente rico em práticas de literacia que promovam estas competências através das experiências que as crianças estabelecem, desde muito cedo, tanto em contextos informais (família) como formais (escola).
Kazakhstan has a population of around 15 million people and its economy relies heavily on oil and natural gas exports. While GDP per capita has grown significantly in recent years, unemployment and poverty rates remain high compared to neighboring Russia and China. Infrastructure such as roads, airports, and internet access requires improvement, especially outside major cities. Literacy rates are high and healthcare has expanded, contributing to a declining death rate. The population is growing due to increasing birth rates and declining mortality rates.
The document discusses the need for communication strategists to effectively plan integrated marketing communications in today's complex media landscape. It defines the role of a communication strategist as finding consumer insights to identify the best communication vehicles to make messages relevant, memorable and effective. There are five challenges for communication strategists: considering many more variables than account planners; navigating qualitative and quantitative data; overcoming territorialism between specialties; lack of training in integrated thinking; and agencies' focus on execution over strategic thinking. An example shows how strategic thinking led to changing targeting and media for a TV show launch.

This document provides summaries of key web technologies including:
- Core technologies like web browsers, web servers, URIs, and HTTP.
- Client-side technologies like HTML, CSS, JavaScript, DOM, AJAX, and Rich Internet Applications.
- Server-side technologies for web applications like CGI, PHP, Java servlets, and JavaServer Pages.
It also discusses enabling technologies for dynamic web content and applications servers, session state management, cookies, the Common Gateway Interface (CGI) standard, and an example "EnWEBats" application built with CGI and PHP.
User Experience (UX) has become a buzzword in today’s tech scene. It is said to be the future, yet it is on top of the list of jobs that are impossible to explain to your parents. But what UX really is? In this session, I will share some of the most commonly known UX myths and explain why they don’t hold true. I will share case studies from my past experience, the success stories and the failures, and why organizations need to pay attention to it.
We often spend plenty of time to make a product / service, but by the time the product has been launched into the market, we realize that the product is not easy to use or does not meet the real user needs. This leads to customers getting frustrated, complaining, and even spreading bad words about the product.
Usability testing refers to the process of understanding what users do and why they do it. Usability testing involves recruiting individual test participants. They are invited to try using the product while we’re observing their behaviour. The process of watching and listening to actual users carrying out tasks with the product provides great insights into what works and what doesn't, and most importantly - WHY.
Traditional usability testing is very effective but often seen as time-consuming and expensive, therefore not many organization is willing to invest in it. We believe that everybody should be able to reap the benefits of usability testing. In this session with Akademi Berbagi, we show how usability testing can be done faster, easier, and much, much cheaper. For everyone.
