This document contains a student's e-portfolio highlighting their learning philosophy around using technology. It includes sections on word clouds, blogs, websites for teaching resources, and impressions on using technologies beyond computers. The student reflects on areas of confidence and growth in English learning, what they learned about using technology in TESOL, remaining questions, and goals after completing the course.

The document compares the ARMA and sub-space identification methods for modeling an air separation unit (ASU). It finds that the ARMA method provides more accurate and stable models compared to the sub-space identification method. Specifically, models generated with the ARMA method had 97.09% accuracy matching the original data, whereas sub-space identification models were only 96.7% accurate. Additionally, pole-zero plots showed the ARMA models were more stable. The ARMA method also allowed for better control of the ASU system compared to the less stable sub-space identification models. Therefore, the document concludes the ARMA method is better suited for modeling nonlinear multi-input multi-output systems like the ASU.
This document summarizes a working session on strengthening resilience through learning and transformation. [1] Key factors that contribute to building resilience include constant learning, strengthening local stakeholders and structures, trust between groups, multi-hazard risk management, risk maps linking community and governance, and intersectoral approaches. [2] Learning is seen as key to the process of resilience building. [3] The document discusses how both incremental learning and transformational changes are needed to manage climate risks and uncertainties over the long term.
A survey was conducted of 43 European countries on mainstreaming disaster risk reduction into climate change adaptation strategies. 23 countries responded to the questionnaire. [The document then discusses] the Adaptation Action Plan of the German Strategy for Adaptation to Climate Change, which focuses on providing knowledge and informing the public, setting frameworks at the federal level, activities directly overseen by the federal government, international cooperation, and integrating disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation. The plan emphasizes acting with uncertainty, stakeholder involvement, and the important role of the National Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction.
The document discusses resilience building through disaster risk reduction efforts by Swiss NGOs. It presents case studies from Caritas in Bangladesh, Helvetas Swiss Intercooperation in Afghanistan, and SRC in Honduras on how these organizations contribute to learning and transformation. The session aims to explore how stakeholders can support learning and transformation to strengthen resilience in communities in the context of climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction work.

This document contains a collection of quotes, thoughts, and statements on various topics including technology, information, attention, and sharing on social media. It discusses how digital tools like algorithms and mobile phones are changing how information is accessed and shared. It also reflects on how this impacts perceptions of self and relationships with others in an increasingly digital world. The document concludes by suggesting ways to synergize one-to-one technologies and communities while acknowledging that information streams will continue growing.
