This document proposes a website that allows people to communicate using pictures instead of words by developing a "visual grammar". It introduces the concept of using frames and frameicons to establish rules for parts of speech and sentence structure. Examples are given of how a noun, verb, and complete sentence could be visually represented using these rules. The next step would be to expand the visual grammar to allow for more complex multi-picture visual sentences.
This document presents quotes from various teachers' conferences and publications spanning from 1703 to 1985, each complaining about students' dependence on new technologies for writing and calculating that were seen as luxuries at the time, such as slates, paper, ink, pencils, pens, and calculators. The concluding paragraph notes that despite these recurring complaints about new technologies throughout history, their use has continued and now includes computers, and that technological changes will likely continue to be met with similar complaints in the future.

This approach balances enterprise needs like operations, governance, and risk mitigation with cloud benefits like agility, efficiency and on-demand resources. Red Hat's cloud vision and technologies like Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization, CloudForms, and OpenShift can help enterprises build such an open cloud.
The document proposes a website that allows people to communicate using pictures instead of words. It introduces the concept of using "frames" and "framicons" to establish rules for a visual grammar. Examples are given of how nouns, verbs, sentences, and abstract concepts could be represented visually using this system to convey meaning without words. The presentation provides a basic introduction to creating a visual grammar for pictorial communication.

This document presents a series of quotes from 1703 to 1985 that complain about students' dependence on new technologies for writing and calculation. Each successive generation bemoans students' reliance on the new technologies of the time, such as paper, ink, pencils, pens, and calculators, rather than traditional methods like slate or making their own ink. The document suggests this pattern will likely continue, with new complaints about each new technology introduced in education.
This document proposes a mobile and web-based game called "Save Halloween" where players control characters like skeletons and bats to throw jack-o-lanterns and rescue kidnapped Halloween monsters from enemies trying to end Halloween. The game would be easy to play but have different difficulty levels. It aims to be fun for all ages and allow cross-platform play across devices and a web browser. Standard game development tools would be used to efficiently create versions for multiple platforms.
This document appears to be a game that asks multiple choice questions about personal details and preferences. It awards points for correct answers, ranging from -4 to 10 points. Questions cover topics like food preferences, location of a classroom, occupations, birthdays, hobbies and past travel experiences.
