Tablets run the risk of being gimmicky or misused for the likes of Facebook without a well-structured learning activity that has a defined output. This activity needs to relate to the lecture/seminar and the output then needs to be fed back to the tutor/rest of the class to create a meaningful learning experience. This presentation shows seven ways that tablets can be used with free Apps or web-based resources to encourage engagement and interaction in teaching sessions. The screenshots use an Android tablet, but the Apps are also available on iPads.
How guidelines support great storytellingLauren Pope
Guidelines aren’t limitations when it comes to storytelling, they’re a foundation. Rather than getting in the way, they help you get storytelling more right more of the time. In this talk for the Content Deli, part of Brighton Digital Festival, I looked at:
- why you need guidelines
- what guidelines you need (and how to create them)
- How to make sure your guidelines are used
Effective Presentations - PowerPoint isn't all badMatt Cornock
Slides to accompany a 90-minute workshop on how to create effective presentations.

Preparation and slide construction covered in slides. Presentation style only covered in face-to-face session. Originally presented by Matt Cornock and Juliet Koprowska as part of the SPSW PhD Seminar Series, 9 October 2013, University of York.

Slide 3
The original FCAT test was based on Sunshine State standards. The new FCAT 2.0 is a more challenging test
Slide 4
Prior knowledge & experiences: i.e. in math, student learned basic shapes in Kindergarten, but in third grade s/he may be asked to find the perimeter of those shapes using properties learned in Kindergarten.
Vocabulary: In all content areas the students will need to use vocabulary such as compare, contrast, concept word that should be part of their daily activities. First, middle, last, increasing, decreasing, and adjectives that describe.
Inference: Water is boiling so it must be hot, the front of the book has a picture of the ocean..book must be about the ocean.
Compare/Contrast: Be able to identify things that are the same and different. For example between 2 passages or 2 geometric shapes.
Slide 5
End of Course exams are given at the end of each course, regardless of whether they are in middle or high school.
Slide 7
While the quantity stays relatively the same the difficulty increases.
Slide 8
In high school math and science credit courses, EOC exams will be given instead of FCAT.
Slide 9
Most of these tests over 1 hour in duration are given over a 2 day span.
Slide 10
You may see a topic repeated in more than one year… The subtopics are different and if a student misses a lot of school during a year they will miss a topic that is covered during that year and is not taught again and used as a building block for a higher skill.
Slide 11
These topics and their data can be obtained in the parent report and on school system data sources.
Slide 12
While these science skills are tested in grades 5 and 8 – the skills are taught beginning in kindergarten.
Slide 18
even if student stays at the same level , they may have made a lot of growth. Achievement Level Descriptions (ALDs) outline the specific student expectations at each grade and subject for each of the five Achievement Levels. ALDs available at http://fcat.fldoe.org/fcat2/alds.asp
Slide 19
Most important score of the three for parents to look at because it shows growth. Look at the DSS scores between the previous and current year to determine growth.
Slide 20
Scale score will be reported on the parent report, but not as useful as the achievement level and developmental scale scores. Scale scores are developed first, then the DSS were developed to examine growth from one grade to the next.
Slide 21
Teachers DO NOT only use FCAT data when planning and evaluating students. It is just one piece of info

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George
It is possible to hide or invisible some fields in odoo. Commonly using “invisible” attribute in the field definition to invisible the fields. This slide will show how to make a field invisible in odoo 17.
1. AVOIDING THE ANNUAL
MEETING FROM HELL
Any association could face this challenge: when your
membership is upset with a pending action, and out for
blood at the annual meeting. Avoid the pain with these
simple tips.
2. COMMUNICATE
EARLY AND OFTEN
Acknowledging the elephant in the
room is a good first step to avoiding
meeting hell. You already know the
members will be coming to the
meeting, and why.
Head them off at the pass by giving
them a clear agenda,
communicating when their issue will
be discussed (it is on the agenda,
right?) and laying out the facts as
clearly and fairly as possible, in
writing.
3. GET TO THE POINT
Yes, you are following Roberts Rules
of Order and so have to go through
old business before you can get to
new business, but the more time you
spend on other topics, the more your
members will be stewing.
So keep committee reports short,
and table anything that isn’t
absolutely needed to be included for
general membership until a future
board meeting, and get to the topic
at hand as quickly as possible.
4. STRICTLY ENFORCE
TIME LIMITS
It’s very important that everyone
feels they are being treated fairly.
Enforcing time limits for speakers (on
both sides) is vital to create an
atmosphere of fairness.
This does not mean that members
should be cut off, shouted down, or
made to feel as if their opinion does
not matter. Use active listening
techniques to show the speaker that
you understand the question or
comment that they made.
5. STAY CALM
It goes without saying that neither
you nor anyone on the board can
afford to get upset or argue with
upset members.
If you allow your emotions to get the
better of you, even if you are right,
you, your organization, and the
board can come out looking poorly
to the membership, which is a great
way to find yourself looking for a new
way to spend your evenings.
6. MANAGE YOUR
EXPECTATIONS
The idea is to get everyone present
calm enough to discuss the situation
and to reach a conclusion that is
satisfactory to all.
But it’s not all rainbows and unicorns.
Don’t expect that everyone will
instantly take your side. Manage your
expectations and work to achieve a
reasonable compromise.
7. MAKE AN ACTION
PLAN (AND PROMISE
TO FOLLOW IT!)
People want action to be taken on
the matter they are passionate
about, and often the promises they
are looking for are as simple as
increased communication or
improved process.
Make a motion, and clearly outline a
way to take action that will satisfy the
membership.
8. REQUEST ACTION
FROM THE
MEMBERSHIP
Give your members a next step as
well, whether that is a survey to fill
out, or a letter/email to write, or
something more concrete and
related to the issue.
Having an action item makes them
feel as if they are part of the solution,
and can help channel their anger to
a more productive activity.
9. TELL THEM WHAT
YOU TOLD THEM
An old country saying goes:
Tell ‘em what you’re gonna tell ‘em,
Tell ‘em, Then tell ‘em what you just
told ‘em.
In this case, close the topic by
reminding members what the issue
was, what action items (promises)
you/the board have agreed on, and
what requests for actions you’d like
the membership to perform.
(It also helps to repeat the “tell ‘em”
step again in writing in the next
newsletter.)
10. FOLLOW
THROUGH
Last, but far from least is to follow
through on the promises you made,
suggestions/feedback you received,
and questions that were raised.
Show the membership that they will
be heard, that their opinion is
important, and that they can make
a difference - and they will!
