Local authorities are required to have continuity of learning measures for pupils who cannot attend school. Some authorities are using Glow, Scotland's virtual learning environment. West Lothian created subject-specific Glow groups across schools and provided pupils with access to resources from any school. During recent winter closures, these supporting Glow groups had over 1 million page views. The Scottish Government and Education Scotland are looking at how to better support local authorities in utilizing Glow and developing a national virtual campus.
The document discusses issues with the current public education system and proposes an alternative called the SOS Classroom. It notes that students prefer learning online through sources like Wikipedia and YouTube rather than traditional methods. However, the internet is disorganized for learning, with only 6% of websites containing educational material. The SOS Classroom aims to address this by providing a comprehensive, fun online resource for K-8 students, organized through crowdsourcing and social bookmarking. It hopes to support students' educational needs where public schools are struggling, such as by replacing cut summer school programs.
This document discusses the information problems of overload and quality of information sources. It notes that more information is now produced in a short period of time than in previous thousands of years. For the problem of overload, the document questions if simply adding more technology or content is the solution. For the problem of quality, it notes that most students use the internet for research but many sources are unreliable. It raises questions about restricting students' access or pre-selecting sources for them as potential solutions. The document concludes with a parable about teaching people to fish for themselves rather than just giving them fish.
The iCentre at Iona Presentation College has, through its integrated information literacy plan created a dynamic program that merges information literacy, study skills and critical and creative thinking into an holistic program that aligns with the new Australian Curriculum. Through the “Inspired Learning at Iona” website this initiative attempts to ensure that every student in the school not only receives ongoing opportunities to master skills and knowledge considered essential for 21st century learners but also develops the cognitive and affective predispositions towards learning, personal development, self efficacy and accountability.

ICT has become a priority in education over the last decade, with some schools effectively using technology to support learning. Studies show ICT has a positive impact on student performance, especially in English, and schools with higher e-maturity levels see faster score increases than those with less. Additionally, schools with sufficient ICT resources tend to achieve better results than less equipped schools, and both teachers and students generally find ICT tools motivating and helpful for assignments, including for students with special needs.

Virtual Open Schooling: the Road Ahead for IndiaRamesh C. Sharma
The document discusses the development of open schooling and virtual schooling in India. It notes that open schooling was established to provide alternative education opportunities through distance learning mechanisms. Virtual schooling allows students to learn online through asynchronous and synchronous technologies. The document outlines a proposed model for a national consortium for open schooling that would develop online courses, a learning management system, and virtual classrooms. It discusses considerations for staffing, instruction, technology, training, quality assurance and other expenses needed to implement virtual open schooling in India.
Emergency education refers to education for populations affected by emergency situations (Sinclair, 2001; UNESCO, 2017). These situations could be man-made or natural disasters that disrupt radically the usual conditions of life, care, and education facilities for children, causing an inability to attain the right to education (Rights of The Child to Education in Emergencies, 2008). Education in emergencies started around the 1990s as one of the elements of humanitarian responses to emergencies (Burde et al., 2017), but it was not till the 2000s that education was separated from developmental activities in humanitarian responses to emergencies due to the efforts of a group of educators (Burde et al., 2011). and now it is regarded as one of the pillars of humanitarian actions in emergencies. This is due to the fact that it is reported that education is usually neglected during the early response to emergencies (Muñoz, 2010), and during which many rights to education violations occur (Nicolai et al., 2015).
The special case of education in times of emergencies arises from the challenges that face the learning process in these situations. Being in the center of a conflict zone or facing a devastating natural disaster could lead to an impairment of students’ learning abilities (Tauson, & Stannard, 2018). It has been reported that trauma impacts the cognitive and executive functions of the brain which in its turn hinders learning abilities (Tauson, 2016; Mougrabi-Large, & Zhou , 2020). In the case of national health emergencies, trauma could cause anxiety and stress for children and adults (NCTSN, n.d). Hence, special care needs to be given to education in times of emergencies. Education could provide a safe space for students during a crisis (Nicolai, 2015), giving the much needed psychosocial support for development, as well as, hope, stability, and a sense of security (UNSECO, 2017). But more importantly, especially during Covid-19 penadamic, is that maintaining a good level of quality education during crisis will act as the backbone for the reconstruction and restoration phase after the crisis is over UNSECO, 2017).
This document discusses the transition from traditional print English language teaching (ELT) materials to digital formats. It notes that while coursebooks currently account for most ELT publisher revenues, teachers have mixed views on coursebooks and academics have criticized certain aspects. The document recommends that future ELT materials provide updated granular content, clearer learner progression, authentic Internet content, and interactive routines. It also recommends supporting ubiquitous learning across devices and providing comprehensive curriculum support in digital formats. Technical and pedagogical challenges in developing digital materials are also discussed.
By age 21, the average person spends 15,000 hours in formal education, 20,000 hours watching TV, and 50,000 hours in front of a computer screen. Young people are informally learning about topics that interest them and sharing ideas online, while schools struggle to keep up with technology use. There are five reasons why subject areas should have web pages: to extend the classroom, provide 100% access, encourage responsibility for learning, promote the subject, and tap into massive learning potential.

Libraries Are Changing2 2.13.09 Woodland Hills SdBradFish
Libraries Area Chnaging - understanding the significant shifts affecting school libraries. How should librraies work to support improved student achievement. Collaboration with the public library is important.
This document summarizes the journey of Botany Downs School in New Zealand from having very limited ICT resources and inquiry learning four years ago to their current capabilities. It began with joining an ICT/inquiry learning cluster and working to improve infrastructure by installing wireless, upgrading servers, and providing devices like laptops, projectors, cameras and interactive whiteboards to each classroom. Teachers learned to integrate technologies like blogging, Google Docs, and video creation tools to support inquiry learning. Younger students now use technologies like digital microscopes, Skype and stop-motion movies. The presentation shows how ICT has transformed the school from "e-zero" to "e-heroes" through incremental improvements over time.
ICT is used in primary schools for teaching and as a method of delivering content. Interactive whiteboards, computers, and the internet allow teachers to provide interactive lessons and access educational websites and resources. The school portal is a useful online tool that teachers, students, parents, and administrators can use to access classroom content, assignments, student accounts, and more. Websites like My School provide school profiles and performance comparisons to help parents choose schools.
The annual report summarizes the activities of the school librarian at Solvay Elementary over the 2010-2011 school year. Key events included reorganizing the library space and book collection to promote collaboration and access. Circulation increased sharply to over 17,000 checkouts due to initiatives like book exchanges before school. The librarian collaborated with teachers on projects integrating research skills and hosted professional development workshops on technologies like Prezi, Animoto and Skype. Students created book trailers, digital stories and videos to promote literacy skills and summer reading.
This annual report from the Solvay Elementary School library summarizes the 2010-2011 school year. Key events included reorganizing the library space and book collection to encourage collaboration and circulation. The librarian collaborated with teachers on several classroom projects and taught workshops on educational technologies. Student engagement and library use increased, with circulation reaching 17,839 checkouts for the year.
School librarians have increasingly adopted e-books and other educational technologies over time. While e-book use is growing, adoption rates are still lower in K-12 schools than public libraries due to issues like lack of funds, training needs, and restrictions on electronics in classrooms. Librarians must investigate options from various e-book vendors and work with technology departments to effectively integrate e-books into their libraries and curricula.
This document outlines a plan to improve reading achievement at Hampton Elementary School. It analyzes reading statistics that show disparities between student groups. The plan proposes engaging students through a new "Read Well" reading program, creating a reading lab, and using a mascot named George the Octopus. Goals are to have all students proficient in reading by 2014 through small group instruction, technology integration including a school website, and garnering community involvement through a reading fair and volunteers.
ICT is used in primary schools in various ways:
- As a teaching tool through interactive whiteboards, computers, and the internet to engage students.
- Websites are used for subjects like literacy, numeracy, and across the curriculum to supplement learning.
- The school portal is a website that teachers, students, parents and administrators can access with resources, student information, and communication tools.
- Websites like My School provide school profiles and statistics to help parents choose schools and hold schools accountable.
- The Premier's Reading Challenge website allows students to track reading progress towards yearly goals.

This is the PowerPoint Presentation of my Media Handbook for the Perth Amboy Public School System. This Handbook highlights the Philosophy, Procedures, Policies, etc. that are taken to ensure that the media center is maintained and available to all patrons. After consulting my mentor and other media specialists in the district, this handbook can be used effectively and can assist new media specialists in the district when it comes to setting up their media center for the first time.
Four case studies of educational technology programs are described:
1) A preschool that engages students in project-based learning centered around their interests, such as a simulation of a trip to Brazil after researching the country.
2) A program in Maine that provides middle school students with laptops, which helps level learning opportunities and allows students to independently research and publish their work.
3) A third grade history project where students document their town's history through photos, videos and a website to share with other classes.
4) An elementary school considered one of the most wired, with technology integrated into daily lessons, student work and communication between teachers, families and students.
The document discusses how teachers can use various Web 2.0 technologies like blogs, wikis, podcasts, and social networking sites to engage students more in their learning. It provides examples of how teachers are using tools like YouTube, Twitter, Skype, and mobile devices in the classroom. It also addresses issues around integrating technology, such as determining infrastructure needs, providing teacher training, and establishing guidelines for appropriate Internet use.

Librarians as Leaders and Partners in OER InitiativesRegina Gong
Librarians as Leaders and Partners in OER Initiatives
Regina Gong discusses her experience leading an open educational resources (OER) initiative at Lansing Community College. High textbook costs were negatively impacting students, so she helped faculty adopt free and openly licensed OER to save students over $1 million. As experts in finding resources and copyright, librarians are well-positioned to partner with faculty on OER. LCC's bottom-up approach led over 200 faculty to use OER in over 400 courses benefiting over 10,000 students. Communicating successes helped expand partnerships and further the initiative's social justice goals of increasing educational access.
The document discusses ways to engage today's students through technology integration in the classroom. It provides examples of how teachers can use tools like blogs, wikis, Google Docs, screencasts, and online discussions to involve students in learning and make the classroom experience more interactive. It also addresses challenges of change and the need to prepare students with digital skills for their future.
This annual report summarizes the programs and services provided by the Palisades High School library media center over the past year. Key highlights include increased usage of the library and resources, the addition of a student helper program, and support provided to teachers and students through instruction, resource curation, and individual assistance. Goals for next year are to continue meeting the needs of students and teachers.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

Snapshot
3. Since introducing ePlatform in August 2014, Bourchier
Street Primary School has enjoyed a boom in book
borrowing.
More than 4,300 eBooks have been loaned
in just over a year.
That’s an average of over 350 loans a month – not bad for
a school of 600 students.
4. –Tracy Fitzpatrick, Teacher Librarian
“And it hasn’t been the death knell
for hardcopy books.
ePlatform hasn’t replaced the borrowing of hard
copy books – on the contrary
“It’s actually enhanced it”.
“We have found that most students will still borrow
a hard copy text each week, however pupils are
using the eBook library to borrow from their
classrooms or homes.”
6. –Tracy Fitzpatrick, Teacher Librarian
Technology like iPads and mobile devices are the
playground of the young –
and ePlatform fits into this landscape.
“We have found that boys, and senior students
in particular have enjoyed reading from iPads –
it has made it cooler to read.
ePlatform has also supported our BYOD
(Bring Your Own Device) programme really well.”
7. It’s keeping interest up
during lessons too.
“Our school has a massive push
on Just Right reading time so the
students use the ePlatform
during this time in the
classroom,”
says Tracy.
