This document discusses research conducted at Abilene Christian University on using mobile devices and technology apps to engage students in 21st century learning. Several studies found that providing students and faculty with mobile devices improved areas like classroom collaboration, learning outcomes, and depth of reflection. Overall, the research demonstrated the educational value of mobile and digital learning in higher education.
The document compares 20th century classrooms to 21st century classrooms. In the 20th century, presentations were developed by educators outside of class, educators were the presenters and students the audience, and access to course content was linear only in the classroom. In contrast, the 21st century classroom involves students co-developing presentations inside and outside of class, positions students as active participants guided by educators, provides recursive access to electronic course content, and encourages interdisciplinary learning by making disciplinary silos more porous.
This document summarizes a workshop on designing successful dissemination and marketing plans. The workshop agenda includes an expert panel on resources, peer review of existing plans, and roundtable discussions on topics such as Google AdWords, exhibiting at conferences, webinars, and using data to tell a story.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

• Strengthen elementary educators’ knowledge of and
capabilities to teach technology, engineering, and
science.
• Create a cadre of community college and four-year
faculty leaders that disseminate capabilities and
curricular models to colleagues in the region and state.
• Increase awareness among stakeholders about the
importance of effective technology and engineering
elementary education programs.

9. What we found through ATLAS
• Each college has different courses, systems,
and structures that require a myriad of
integration models.
• Student gains are greatest in science courses—
likely because of the natural links between
science and engineering.
• While gains are strongest in science classes,
having
h i connections made i other courses
i d in h
(particularly education courses) are invaluable.
10. Goals of the BEST grant
• Enrich college science and education
courses taken by preservice elementary
and early education students with
technology and engineering.
• Strengthen educators' knowledge of and
educators
capabilities to teach engineering,
technology and science in active and
engaging ways.

13. Evaluation Results to Date
• Students in BEST courses are asked to complete pre-
and post assessments
post-assessments.
• Analysis of these assessments showed that after
completing engineering and technology activities in their
p g g g gy
courses, students’ judgments were significantly more
similar to those of engineering experts, and their
confidence surrounding these topics had increased
increased.
• Significantly, these results were found with students of
all majors, not just those who intend to become teachers.
Thus, results indicate that the BEST program is raising
the levels of STEM literacy of all participating students.
