A geographic information system (GIS) is a system designed to capture, store, manipulate, analyze, manage, and present all types of geographical data. The acronym GIS is sometimes used for geographical information science or geospatial information studies to refer to the academic discipline or career of working with geographic information systems and is a large domain within the broader academic discipline of Geoinformatics. In the simplest terms, GIS is the merging of cartography, statistical analysis, and computer science technology.
This is presentation is intended for middle school students. It provides a short introduction to GIS and how to use GIS in the real-world.

Remote sensing (RS) and geographical information systems (GIS) are revolutionising irrigation management. They represent a relatively cheap and rapid method of acquiring up-to-date information over a large geographical area. and are the only practical way to obtain data from inaccessible regions. At small scales, regional phenomena which are invisible from the ground can be clearly visible. Presented at the 1st World Irrigation Forum, 2013, Mardin, Turkey.

The presentation introduces remote sensing technology and how it is used in studying atmospheric aerosols. Remote Sensing technology uses the optical property of aerosols to detect the presence and the type of aerosol. The type or the characteristics of an aerosol is determined by seven factors which are interpreted from the satellite image. The satellite image is retrieved from geosynchronous and polar satellites, of which the latter is preferred for aerosol applications.
In addition, features and terminologies associated with remote sensing, satellite and aerosol optical properties are discussed. This project emphasizes on an interactive material that is best supplemented with lecture video. It is not designed to be conventional lecture slide. Point to note: the question mark appearing in bottom of the slides indicates the author raised a question during the lecture.
This presentation was delivered in coming-of-age lecture style, in contrast to old-school conventional style. This presentation stimulates audiences to think and act than a banal display of abstract data. The lecture videos can be found at:

APPLICATION OF REMOTE SENSING AND GIS IN AGRICULTURELagnajeetRoy
India is a country that depends on agriculture. Today in this era of technological supremacy, agriculture is also using different new technologies like some robotic machinery to remote sensing and Geographical Information System (GIS) for the betterment of agriculture. It is easy to get the information about that area where human cannot check the condition everyday and help in gathering the data with the help of remote sensing. Whereas GIS helps in preparation of map that shows an accurate representation of data we get through remote sensing. From disease estimation to stress factor due to water, from ground water quality index to acreage estimation in various way agriculture is being profited by the application of remote sensing and GIS in agriculture. The applications of those software or techniques are very new to the agriculture domain still much more exploration is needed in this part. New software’s are developing in different parts of the world and remote sensing. Today farmers understand the beneficiaries of these kinds of techniques to the farm field which help in increasing productivity that will help future generation as technology is hype in traditional system of farming.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

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.

When a satellite reaches exactly 42,164 kilometers from the center of the Earth
(about 36,000 kilometers from Earth's surface), it enters a sort of “sweet spot” in
which its orbit matches Earth's rotation.
13. ...KEEP TAKING NOTES...
A satellites orbit the Earth in one of two basic types of orbit.
•Circular satellite orbit: For a circular orbit, the distance from the Earth remains
the same at all times.
•Elliptical satellite orbit: The elliptical orbit changes the distance to the Earth
•Geocentre: When satellites orbit the Earth, either in a circular or elliptical orbit, the
satellite orbit forms a plane that passes through the centre of gravity or geocentre of
the Earth.

Every time an image is acquired on
film or by a sensor, its sensitivity to the
magnitude of the electromagnetic
energy determines the radiometric
resolution.
The radiometric resolution of an
imaging system describes its ability to
discriminate very slight differences in
energy.
The finer the radiometric resolution of
a sensor, the more sensitive it is to
detecting small differences in reflected
or emitted energy.
Source:
http://www.nrcan.gc.ca/node/9379#answer
21. Radiometric Resolution
Imagery data are represented by positive digital
numbers which vary from 0 to (one less than) a selected
power of 2.
This range corresponds to the number of bits used for
coding numbers in binary format. Each bit records an
exponent of power 2 (e.g. 1 bit=2 1=2).
The maximum number of brightness levels available
depends on the number of bits used in representing the
energy recorded.
Thus, if a sensor used 8 bits to record the data, there
would be 28=256 digital values available, ranging from 0
to 255.
...KEEP TAKING NOTES...
22. Whiz Quiz
Suppose you have a digital image which
has a radiometric resolution of 6 bits.
What is the maximum value of the digital
number which could be represented in
that image?
...KEEP TAKING NOTES...
24. Answer
...KEEP TAKING NOTES...
The number of digital values possible in an image is equal
to the number two (2 - for binary codings in a computer)
raised to the exponent of the number of bits in the image
(i.e. 2# of bits).
The number of values in a 6-bit image would be equal to 26
= 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 64.
Since the range of values displayed in a digital image
normally starts at zero (0), in order to have 64 values, the
maximum value possible would be 63.

Elements of Image Interpretation
Shape:
Many natural and human-made features have
unique shapes.
Often used are adjectives like linear,
curvilinear, circular, elliptical, radial, square,
rectangular, triangular, hexagonal, star,
elongated, and amorphous.
44. ...KEEP TAKING NOTES...
Elements of Image Interpretation
Shadow:
Shadow reduction is of concern in remote sensing
because shadows tend to obscure objects that
might otherwise be detected.
However, the shadow cast by an object may be
the only real clue to its identity.
Shadows can also provide information on the
height of an object either qualitatively or
quantitatively.
46. ...KEEP TAKING NOTES...
Elements of Image Interpretation
Tone and Color:
A band of EMR recorded by a remote sensing
instrument can be displayed on an image in
shades of gray ranging from black to white.
These shades are called “tones”, and can be
qualitatively referred to as dark, light, or
intermediate (humans can see 40-50 tones).
Tone is related to the amount of light reflected
from the scene in a specific wavelength interval
(band).
48. ...KEEP TAKING NOTES...
Elements of Image Interpretation
Texture:
Texture refers to the arrangement of tone or color
in an image.
Useful because Earth features that exhibit similar
tones often exhibit different textures.
Adjectives include smooth (uniform,
homogeneous), intermediate, and rough (coarse,
heterogeneous).
50. ...KEEP TAKING NOTES...
Elements of Image Interpretation
Pattern:
Pattern is the spatial arrangement of objects on
the landscape.
General descriptions include random and
systematic; natural and human-made.
More specific descriptions include circular, oval,
curvilinear, linear, radiating, rectangular, etc.
52. ...KEEP TAKING NOTES...
Elements of Image Interpretation
Height and Depth:
As discussed, shadows can often offer clues to the
height of objects.
In turn, relative heights can be used to interpret
objects.
In a similar fashion, relative depths can often be
interpreted.
Descriptions include tall, intermediate, and short;
deep, intermediate, and shallow.
54. ...KEEP TAKING NOTES...
Elements of Image Interpretation
Association:
This is very important when trying to
interpret an object or activity.
Association refers to the fact that certain
features and activities are almost always
related to the presence of certain other
features and activities.
60. A Model…
A model is simply a means of representing “reality” and, spatial data
models provide abstraction of spatially referenced features in the real
world.
Representation of real world is often divided into,
(1) Entities (distinct objects like points, locations, roads, admin boundaries)
(2) Fields (convey the idea of values of some property at all locations)
Objects that are well described as distinct entities are sensibly
represented using the VECTOR DATA MODEL.
Properties that tend to vary quite smoothly from place to place are
frequently represented using RASTER DATA MODEL.
Exceptions are isolines / contours / temperature elevation etc…

61. What is GIS?
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are computerized
systems designed for the storage, retrieval and analysis
of geographically referenced data
GIS uses advanced analytical tools to explore at a
scientific level the spatial relationships, patterns, and
processes of cultural, biological, demographic, economic,
geographic, and physical phenomena
61....KEEP TAKING NOTES....
