Online Professional Development and Web 2.0Barbara Treacy
This document discusses the use of online tools to support effective professional development for educators. It outlines several principles of effective professional development, such as being intensive, ongoing, focused on student learning and curriculum. It then describes different types of online tools like course management, voice/content, collaboration, and communication tools that can help implement these principles. Examples of tools discussed include blogs, social bookmarking, and learning management systems. The document concludes that online professional development, if done well, can help address issues like extending training over time and building learning communities.
The document discusses how technology and online tools can support the implementation of Common Core State Standards (CCSS) in schools. It explains that the CCSS emphasize deeper learning goals and integrate media and technology standards. It also describes how online professional development courses for teachers through EdTech Leaders Online can help educators understand how to align their teaching with the CCSS, with a focus on how technology enables deeper learning and allows teachers to explore resources for the classroom. The courses provide opportunities for reflection, trying new strategies, and receiving feedback to help implement the mathematics and English language arts CCSS.

This document provides summaries of several commercial building projects completed by Troy M. Ketchum including a SouthPointe Pavilions branch in Lincoln, Nebraska, The Tower at First National Center in Omaha, Nebraska, and several First National Bank buildings and offices in Lincoln and Omaha, Nebraska. The projects range from small bank branches to large high-rise office towers and campus developments.
This document discusses key elements and challenges of online course design. It identifies questions about adapting face-to-face content online and engaging students interactively in the online environment. The document outlines the agenda, which includes exploring online activities, courses, and sharing resources to support learning effective design. Standards and frameworks for online course quality are listed. Groups explored an online course to discuss benefits of online learning design, backwards design, and differences between face-to-face and online/blended courses. Effective design elements like content organization, navigation and interactivity were applied.
Online professional development (PD) for educators provides flexibility, access to experts, opportunities for reflection, and potential cost savings. Effective online PD is interactive, personalized, and data-driven. It requires careful attention to design, facilitation, and building learning communities. Research shows online PD can improve teacher practice and student learning when developed using collaborative models and incorporating feedback over time. Choosing the right technologies and providing training are also important for success.
This document summarizes professional development opportunities for teachers at different experience levels through various programs. It discusses eMINTS, a program that provides inquiry-based and constructivist professional development using technology and online learning. It also outlines the professional development activities offered through Virtual Virginia, including initial trainings, ongoing virtual meetings and discussions, seminars, workshops and conferences to support teachers throughout their careers.
The document summarizes three Romanian legends:
1) The legend of Manole, an architect forced to wall his pregnant wife alive in a monastery to ensure its construction is completed. When finished, Manole and his men are imprisoned in the monastery towers, and Manole dies trying to escape by flying with homemade wings.
2) The legend of Saint Ana's lake, which tells of two rival brothers, one of whom curses a group of girls harnessed to his carriage, causing a storm that destroys the brothers' fortresses and leaves a lake and swans in their place.
3) The legend of the Black meadow, about a wealthy king's daughter named Neagra who is watched being wounded by her su
This document outlines an online facilitation training presented by Barbara Treacy. The training focuses on identifying questions about online facilitation, discussing connected learning and online communities, learning facilitation tips and strategies, and participating in collaborative activities. It provides an overview of key questions in online facilitation, differences between online and in-person discussions, and ten tips for effective online facilitation such as making participants feel welcome, establishing clear goals, and keeping discussions focused. The training emphasizes that online facilitation requires specific strategies and practice in the online environment.
This part of the tutorial shows the install options for TinyOS, describes briefly the layout of the tinyos-2.x and talks about two applications: one that is using dissemination service and another one that is using the collection service.

TOSSIM is a discrete event simulator for TinyOS applications that runs on a PC. It simulates MicaZ motes and uses a radio noise model to simulate realistic wireless conditions. The core components of TOSSIM include classes for the Tossim simulator, Radio, Mote, Packet, and Mac layers.
This document provides information about roundworms of the phylum Nematoda. It discusses that roundworms can be found everywhere from intestines to the Antarctic. They are one of the most diverse groups of animals with over 20,000 known species. Roundworms can live in many habitats including oceans, gardens, and inside other animals. While they play roles in nutrient cycling and population control, they can also damage agriculture and harm animal and human health. Roundworms have been around since before the Carboniferous period 354-290 million years ago. They were the first animals to evolve a complete digestive system with separate openings for intake and waste expulsion.
