Project, NetGenEd Project, and Eracism Project. It discusses the importance of collaboration, community, and networks for sustainability. Four ways to build networks of students and teachers are proposed: welcoming impressions, lasting impressions through memories and milestones, building communities of practice, and celebrating individuality. The document contrasts four "horsemen" that can lead to education failure (mendacity, arrogance, greed, stupidity) with four that can lead to success (truth, humility, honesty, wisdom).

The document provides guidance for creating short documentary films or public service announcements. It suggests they can be used to clarify a vision, sell a concept, or encourage viewers to take action. Examples given are 30-90 second public service announcements or longer "docu-dramas" up to 4 minutes meant to both inform and motivate. Key elements outlined for an effective short film include a good name, clear audio, energy, a hook, body, and call to action. Storyboards and script outlines are also recommended for planning shots.

Moodle in the Classroom: An “in the trenches” perspective - Mark BailyeMoodlemootAU2014
A teacher implemented Moodle at a high school to enhance student learning. Initially, Moodle was underutilized with no clear support structure and grades tracked separately in Excel. After redesigning courses to be more visually appealing, relevant, and easy to navigate, engagement and time spent with students increased. A Moodle working group and administrator were created to provide top-down support. The teacher found that tailoring learning activities, monitoring progress, and rewarding engagement helped improve the student experience with Moodle.

On September 11, 2001, terrorists hijacked four commercial airplanes and crashed them into the World Trade Center towers in New York City, the Pentagon near Washington, D.C., and a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, resulting in extensive death and destruction that changed life in America. The author is advocating to pass on a remembrance of this event so that the lives lost are never forgotten.
Logistics companies play a crucial role in today's global economy by efficiently transporting and delivering goods worldwide. While often unseen, logistics firms are truly the "kings" that keep international trade and commerce flowing.
