Storytelling at work
The document discusses the importance and power of stories and storytelling. It notes that stories are how humans organize and make sense of events, and that the stories a society believes shape its destiny. Additionally, stories can be told in many ways and highlight different aspects of events. The document then discusses how storytelling can be used strategically in organizations to communicate values and vision, foster collaboration, and lead change. It provides examples of digital storytelling and how technology has expanded storytelling abilities and distribution.
Digital Literacy: Innovation, Inclusion and Opportunity
Digital Literacy: Innovation, Inclusion and Opportunity discusses how digital divides are strengthened rather than diminished as ICT use becomes integrated into everyday life. It emphasizes that digital literacy is important due to fundamental social and economic changes driven by networks rather than physical spaces. Digital literacy is defined as having digital tool knowledge, critical thinking skills, and social awareness or engagement to take advantage of and shape opportunities offered by technology in various areas of life.

A engaged group of entrepreneurs, public servants and represantatives of various Latin American cultures met and developed a vibrant experience. They developed concepts for alternative education approaches and why they are important for Out-Of-The-Box-Solutions.
Mack Prioleau
This document discusses the benefits of traveling while young. It argues that while university can provide knowledge, traveling provides unique lessons about oneself and the world. The document acknowledges that traveling can be difficult for students, but notes there are affordable options like university exchange programs, budget airlines, and home rentals. Additional benefits of traveling young include having more energy to be active and see many places, as well as broadening one's horizons and becoming more tolerant and responsible. The author provides his own experience of traveling around the world for 10 months as a kid with his family.
Screens & Maps: Is seeing believing?
This document discusses how maps shape our understanding of the world by including or excluding certain information. It notes that early maps like Ptolemy's focused on regions relevant to the mapmaker, leaving out places they would never go. The document then provides examples of how different factors like driving rules, sports popularity, and policies vary globally. It also discusses how maps can influence social issues and how personalization algorithms may limit what information people see online.
How Teaching Became Women's Work
1) The document discusses the history of teaching becoming women's work in the United States, noting that in the 19th century men were being pushed out of teaching roles and women were seen as cheaper alternatives to teach young children.
2) It provides excerpts from various sources from the 19th/early 20th century that illustrate perspectives on gender and the teaching profession at the time, including the idea that teaching did not require as much skill or intellect as other professions dominated by men.
3) The excerpts reflect both praise for women teachers but also criticism that portrayed teaching as women's work that did not require high pay or status.
Presentation1
The document discusses the impact of new media and the internet on children. It notes that while the internet provides unprecedented opportunities for learning, creativity, identity development, and social connection through education, self-expression, social networking, and accessing global information, there is also a concern that it could overwhelm children. The internet offers both opportunities and risks that will shape how children experience and engage with the world today.
Diversity in Classroom
The document discusses ways to prevent racism in the classroom. It states that racism first starts in families and is reinforced in schools and communities. The author wants to take small steps in their classroom to prevent bullying, harassment, or prejudice based on ethnicity or culture in order to start a trend of tolerance that spreads throughout the school. Some proposed ways to do this include presenting stories from different cultures and using word problems that promote open-mindedness about race. The ultimate goal is to influence future generations to appreciate diversity and eventually end racism.

Jon Spayde: Learning in the key of life
What does it mean—and more important, what should it mean—to be educated?
This is a surprisingly tricky and two-sided question. Masquerading as simple problem-solving, it raises a whole laundry list of philosophical conundrums: What sort of society do we want? What is the nature of humankind? How do we learn best? And—most challenging of all—what is the Good? Talking about the meaning of education inevitably leads to the question of what a culture considers most important.
Yikes! No wonder answers don't come easily in 1998, in a multiethnic, corporation-heavy democracy that dominates the globe without having much of a sense of its own soul. For our policyheads, education equals something called "training for competitiveness" (which often boils down to the mantra of "more computers, more computers"). For multiculturalists of various stripes, education has become a battle line where they must duke it out regularly with incensed neotraditionalists. Organized religion and the various "alternative spiritualities"—from 12-step groups to Buddhism, American style—contribute their own kinds of education.
Given all these pushes and pulls, is it any wonder that many of us are beginning to feel that we didn't get the whole story in school, that our educations didn't prepare us for the world we're living in today?
We didn't; we couldn't have. So what do we do about it?
The first thing, I firmly believe, is to take a deep, calm breath. After all, we're not the first American generation to have doubts about these matters. One of the great ages of American intellectual achievement, the period just before the Civil War, was ruled by educational misfits. Henry David Thoreau was fond of saying, "I am self-educated; that is, I attended Harvard College," and indeed Harvard in the early 19th century excelled mainly in the extent and violence of its food fights.
Don't get me wrong: Formal education is serious stuff. There is no divide in American life that hurts more than the one between those we consider well educated and those who are poorly or inadequately schooled. Talking about education is usually the closest we get to talking about class; and no wonder—education, like class, is about power. Not just the power that Harvard- and Stanford-trained elites have to dictate our workweeks, plan our communities, and fiddle with world financial markets, but the extra power that a grad school dropout who, let's say, embraces voluntary simplicity and makes $14,000 a year, has over a high school dropout single mom pulling down $18,000. That kind of power has everything to do with attitude and access: an attitude of empowerment, even entitlement, and access to tools, people, and ideas that make living—at any income level—easier, and its crises easier to bear.

The most subtly dangerous "-isms" in marketing
The document discusses three subtly dangerous "isms" in marketing: individualism, tribalism, and data-ism. Individualism risks focusing too much on hyper-personalization without enabling shared experiences. Tribalism risks perpetuating the distinction of "others" and unintentionally reinforcing divisions by trying to find a brand's tribe. Data-ism risks being too lazy despite vast amounts of algorithmic data, and not accounting for generations like Gen Z that question everything.

IntroductionOne of my family’s legends (unverified) was th.docx
Introduction
One of my family’s legends (unverified) was that my great-grandfather
invented the coin-operated newspaper-vending machine. He never pat-
ented it, however, so watching the gradual disappearance of this sturdy,
useful invention—first from my apartment building’s lobby, and then from
the sidewalks outside my office—leaves me with no sense of grand, de-
spairing loss. Today, I can read whatever I want digitally, without ever
having to bash a frequently failing machine that eats my quarters.
For me, the saddest loss from my youth is the soda fountain, that coun-
tertop fixture in just about every drugstore in the United States a half a
century ago. Folks could have a quick meal of grilled cheese sandwiches
and cherry Cokes, and then buy sundries on the way out. As the car-crazy
nation spread our lifestyles out into suburbs, it became easier and faster to
order food at drive-through windows. Cars with cup holders reigned su-
preme, and the soda fountain disappeared.
So, what else might disappear in the next 15–20 years? And will we miss
these things much? The loss of newspaper vending machines hasn’t af-
fected our access to news, for instance. Soda fountains were replaced by al-
ternative methods of meal dissemination. But in some cases, things have
disappeared irrevocably and irreplaceably, some for better (smallpox) and
some for worse (passenger pigeons).
One thing we might not see disappear: predictions. Though many futur-
ists believe we would be better off learning to make “robust” decisions
that enable us to adapt and succeed in a variety of potential future scenar-
ios—without benefit of definitive forecasts—humans have always felt a
compulsion to know the future with as much certainty as possible.
And that is why we have gone to members and friends of the World
Future Society, once again, to seek out their informed and eye-opening in-
sights about the future—in this case, the future we may not see.

Thinking Deeply About the Shallows (update)
This document discusses how the internet and new technologies may be impacting the way people learn and think. It explores ideas around deep reading versus more shallow horizontal learning online. While new technologies often inspire fear of change, the internet can encourage distraction and multitasking over focus. Deep reading of books allows for concentrated thought and reflection. However, collaboration and network-connected knowledge online have benefits as well. There is a debate around what may be lost through these shifts, like memorization and contemplative thinking, and what is gained through new tools and connections. The key is discerning when each type of learning - horizontal versus vertical - is most appropriate.
Amsterdam
FrankenLibraries: Seducing the Customer is a presentation by Stephen Abram about how libraries can adapt to changing technologies and user needs. It discusses how libraries should focus on becoming knowledge portals that emphasize quality content over physical books. Libraries are encouraged to expand social media programs on information literacy and measure their impact through strategic analytics. The presentation argues that libraries remain important social institutions and should collaborate, not just socialize, by focusing on the questions users have and telling stories.
Learning technologies
The document contains information about Melda Yildiz's online identities and contact information across multiple social media platforms and websites. It also includes brief discussions about the role of information and communication technology (ICT) as tools, means of communication and exploration, and how ICT can be used to learn about, from, and with computers and new media technologies.

IntroductionOne of my family’s legends (unverified) was th.docx
Introduction
One of my family’s legends (unverified) was that my great-grandfather
invented the coin-operated newspaper-vending machine. He never pat-
ented it, however, so watching the gradual disappearance of this sturdy,
useful invention—first from my apartment building’s lobby, and then from
the sidewalks outside my office—leaves me with no sense of grand, de-
spairing loss. Today, I can read whatever I want digitally, without ever
having to bash a frequently failing machine that eats my quarters.
For me, the saddest loss from my youth is the soda fountain, that coun-
tertop fixture in just about every drugstore in the United States a half a
century ago. Folks could have a quick meal of grilled cheese sandwiches
and cherry Cokes, and then buy sundries on the way out. As the car-crazy
nation spread our lifestyles out into suburbs, it became easier and faster to
order food at drive-through windows. Cars with cup holders reigned su-
preme, and the soda fountain disappeared.
So, what else might disappear in the next 15–20 years? And will we miss
these things much? The loss of newspaper vending machines hasn’t af-
fected our access to news, for instance. Soda fountains were replaced by al-
ternative methods of meal dissemination. But in some cases, things have
disappeared irrevocably and irreplaceably, some for better (smallpox) and
some for worse (passenger pigeons).
One thing we might not see disappear: predictions. Though many futur-
ists believe we would be better off learning to make “robust” decisions
that enable us to adapt and succeed in a variety of potential future scenar-
ios—without benefit of definitive forecasts—humans have always felt a
compulsion to know the future with as much certainty as possible.
And that is why we have gone to members and friends of the World
Future Society, once again, to seek out their informed and eye-opening in-
sights about the future—in this case, the future we may not see.

Thinking Deeply About the Shallows (update)
This document discusses how the internet and new technologies may be impacting the way people learn and think. It explores ideas around deep reading versus more shallow horizontal learning online. While new technologies often inspire fear of change, the internet can encourage distraction and multitasking over focus. Deep reading of books allows for concentrated thought and reflection. However, collaboration and network-connected knowledge online have benefits as well. There is a debate around what may be lost through these shifts, like memorization and contemplative thinking, and what is gained through new tools and connections. The key is discerning when each type of learning - horizontal versus vertical - is most appropriate.

Social media refers to online tools that allow people to communicate, share content, and engage in online social networking. These tools include blogs, social networking sites, photo sharing sites, and more. Social networking sites allow users to create profiles and connect with others. While new technologies have often faced skepticism, social media has changed how people interact and get information online through sharing, commenting, and collaborating. It remains to be seen how social media will continue to impact society.
Engineering Serendipity
Serendipity, that unexpected but fortunate discovery or learning experience that happened accidentally, is often characterized by successful people as a “chance encounter” or a “lucky break”. In reality, luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity (Roman Philosopher, Seneca), and gifted students in particular have the preparation, but may not have the skills to leverage technology to create opportunities. This session highlights how gifted students are uniquely qualified to leverage technology to achieve their goals, illustrates the strategies successful individuals use to make their own luck, and provides concrete examples and activities that can be applied in classrooms or at home to enable gifted students to manifest their potential for self-fulfillment and the betterment of society.
Culture Hacking
Culture Hacking starts with the recognition of intelligence in cultural codes. Although they may not always live as clean quantitative figures, it is time to think of cultural codes in congruence with Big Data. It’s about seeing the opportunity, through cultural understanding, to create work that affects individuals with greater potency and resonates with scale. Marketers should design innovative culture hacking initiatives on their own terms and look to culture hacking as an investment in brand relevance and sustainability.http://www.marcgeffen.com/

Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

Lee Barnes - Path to Becoming an Effective Test Automation Engineer.pdf
So… you want to become a Test Automation Engineer (or hire and develop one)? While there’s quite a bit of information available about important technical and tool skills to master, there’s not enough discussion around the path to becoming an effective Test Automation Engineer that knows how to add VALUE. In my experience this had led to a proliferation of engineers who are proficient with tools and building frameworks but have skill and knowledge gaps, especially in software testing, that reduce the value they deliver with test automation.
In this talk, Lee will share his lessons learned from over 30 years of working with, and mentoring, hundreds of Test Automation Engineers. Whether you’re looking to get started in test automation or just want to improve your trade, this talk will give you a solid foundation and roadmap for ensuring your test automation efforts continuously add value. This talk is equally valuable for both aspiring Test Automation Engineers and those managing them! All attendees will take away a set of key foundational knowledge and a high-level learning path for leveling up test automation skills and ensuring they add value to their organizations.

Also, we will look into one of the largest DDoS attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure that happened in February 2022. We'll see, what techniques helped to keep the web resources available for Ukrainians and how AWS improved DDoS protection for all customers based on Ukraine experience
Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).
