Tips and Tricks for jazzing up intro posts and icebreaker activities in online courses. Facilitated by Tracy Roberts and Gina Bennett for ETUG, Feb 2010
Apple-tudes are contagious!
Our Apple-tude can determine our success in using iPads in the classroom. You all heard: there’s an app for that. In fact, there are hundreds of thousands of apps on the market designed for teaching and learning. In this workshop we will explore apps available for instruction and for all curriculum areas. You will see examples of how they can be used successfullly in a collaborative, academic setting.
This is a handout I created after being asked to share what I have on my iPad too many times. Although not all the apps I have are here, this does help teachers decide what apps to start with.

Libraries are about discovery. Giving people a safe and comfortable place to dream, think, and create is very important because it gives them a chance to explore various technologies and educational opportunities that they can use to enrich their lives. STEAM education refers to teaching and learning, mostly hands-on, in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics.
Learn in this webinar how St. Petersburg College’s Innovation Lab managed to incorporate the STEAM education framework via their well-received and grant supported Maker Boot Camp. In the first Maker Boot Camp, children between 10 and 14 years old learned video game design, how to build a synthesizer and control sounds/voltage with littleBits, 3D design/printing, robotics, basic circuitry and electronics, virtual reality, creating holograms, and more. In this webinar:
- Understand what it takes to create and manage a collaborative learning space.
- Explore a variety of technologies and tools to help enhance learning.
- Learn how Maker Boot Camp was organized and how it continues to excite people of all ages.
- Realize the importance of partnering with businesses and other organizations.
A perennial favorite, join us as we present 50 new technology tips! From new tools to new hacks, start the school season off right with this fast-paced session. Pulling from a broad range of presenters -- from technologists, website administrators, attorneys, to tips from the community -- the hour will fly by!

My keynote talk at the 2007 IA Konferenz in Stuttgart, Germany, I argued we need to create fewer final designed artifacts and more tools to help everyone design. The audio can be downloaded from here: http://www.iavoice.com/2007/11/27/ia-konferenz-2007-keynote-english/
In today’s age, it is important to have a basic understanding of computer programming. Although not everyone will become a computer programmer as a result, it is helpful these days to understand how computers and various software applications run code behind the scenes; plus, troubleshooting esoteric messages becomes much easier with some computer programming essentials under your belt. Without a doubt, it can be difficult to teach coding skills, but if fun and engaging tools are introduced it won’t be too bad. Thinking like a programmer does involve problem solving, but it can enhance creative confidence and inventive learning. In this webinar:
• Learn the basics of some visual programming languages like Scratch, Hopscotch, App Inventor, Raptor and others.
• Understand basic code syntax to gain important mathematical, computational, and creative thinking concepts through playful learning!
• Discover alternative tools and applications to give people practice programming while having fun!
• Gain other programming ideas, computing devices, and apps to help children & young adults thrive in a world based on technology.
Libraries have been places of discovery and learning for a long time, but they are now taking it a step further, thanks to the makerspace movement, by providing an initial spark for ideas that may grow into an intellectual flame down the road. A makerspace is a collaborative learning environment where people of all ages and with common interests (e.g., science, technology, engineering, arts, and math — STEAM) can meet, socialize and/or collaborate while sharing innovative ideas and learning new skills. People can now visit their local library makerspace and gain hands-on experiences with emerging technologies that they probably do not have access to otherwise. Lifelong learning is a vital component for the continued success of libraries and makerspaces are just another aspect helping to make all this happen. In this webinar,
+ Learn how to create a library makerspace on little to no budget.
+ Discover the process/resources used to maintain an engaging makerspace that will thrive for many years.
+ Understand wholeheartedly that the library makerspace is a perfect place to share emerging technologies with patrons, so that they can become well-informed citizens and responsible users of technology.
+ Gain an appreciation as to what other libraries are doing in this new exciting space.
+ Acquire numerous programming ideas to help foster creativity and learning.
+ Survey the emerging technology landscape for new learning prospects to include in your makerspace.
+ Create a growing “Rolodex” of opportunities for partnerships to help boost your makerspace outreach.
I Want It All (Educational Tools) for Free!Jonathan Bacon
Budgets are tight, no one can afford to buy what you can get free. As educators, we want the best, most innovative tools but we want it all for free! This session is an exporation of Rich Internet Applications (Web 2.0/RIA) tools that are free (or low cost) and enable you to store research notes, store and edit images, set-up social networks and more. The participants were invited to bring their favorite tool to share during the concluding 15 minutes of the session.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Editor's Notes
Once I set up the computers and the mimio, the children started filtering in, the first child was a bit of a character and very interested and capable with all things digital. He has become my main man and by the end of the day, he was teaching others how to use the mimio, access the internet sites on the Wii, save files to memory sticks and any other troubleshooting problems that arose. His job is to now train another person, and then it will snowball from there
The Literacy part of the day was Explanation Writing where we looked at the PowerPoint.How to write Excellent ExplanationsView more presentations from Jacqui Sharp.This will be broken up and different parts concentrated on over the next few days. Children were very excited about the drafting and publishing possibilities. More about that later!
This school streams their maths classes, so I lost most of the kids to other classrooms and had to train up a new lot. These are very able top stream students and seemed quite taken aback when I told them they were going to be teaching themselves, managing their own learning and booking me when they needed help! I gave them a pretest I had created on perimeter, area and volume. We then marked it and they had to write down on their Student Assessment Tracking sheet what areas of the test they needed to work on more. I showed them all the activities that were going to available in books, worksheets, computers, internet, Wii, PSP and iPod Touch. Tomorrow is when they have to come in, choose their activity or learning opportunities. I have told them I will be running a Perimeter Workshop which is their choice to attend...shall be interesting! More tomorrow!

The afternoon session was introducing them to the Class Wiki and especially the Wiki PromiseWe made a start on our Research Unit. The children have been looking at Communication so I wanted to see what they had learned previously so they worked on an Inspiration diagram 'Fact Recall'. Tomorrow we are going to look at how to create a research question and find keywords.Visit www.moblyng.com to make your own!
