Integrating blended learning into an existing curriculum can be both a difficult and beneficial task. Though it is a rapidly growing instructional model, the many different approaches to implementation can make finding the right solution can feel like going on a treasure hunt without a compass. Who better to lead you on your Blended Learning journey than education advocate, advisor, and author of Getting Smart: How Digital Learning is Changing the World, Tom Vander Ark? Attendees of yesterday’s webinar participated in an active discussion lead by Tom about best practices for implementing Blended Learning. Tom shared different approaches for blended learning implementation through an analysis of several elementary school case studies. He demonstrated how blended learning can improve teaching, benefit student learning, and assist in transitioning to the Common Core Standards. Tom covered the impact of gaining real-time data on each student’s progress and how this affects teaching methods and practices. He also provided a critical evaluation of adaptive learning tools at the core of successful blended learning models. Watch the webinar to learn how to distinguish which blended learning model(s) are appropriate for your students. Quotes from the Session: “Yes, that’s me…trying to get up to date with tech!! here in rural NH. Thank you for the advice!” “We appreciate everything that you have shared!! I am finding that Blended Learning is a concept that needs to be embraced K-20!” “Thanks for all the info and Caroline for links! Especially helpful to hear about pitfalls of buying devices with no clear plan”

Project>Login: From Curiosity to Career

Jay Collier

The demand for computing and IT professionals is growing nationally, and these are well-compensated careers for those who are passionate about technology. Unfortunately, in Maine, as elsewhere, too few young and adult learners are discovering this profession, mastering foundational skills, and gaining relevant experience to succeed. Maine’s Project>Login has been working with students, teachers, and professionals to chart a course from curiosity to career: from playing and tinkering to making and studying to mastering the practices and competencies that will help them thrive in their future roles: at home, at work, and in the community. How can we help young and adults learners discover, explore, and pursue pathways to the computing and IT profession?

Some of the solutions are: "Determine precisely what skills and attributes you are hiring for." "Ask exactly the same questions to each candidate." But what about the implicit bias in determining what skills you are valuing--beyond traditional management and leadership competencies? How can interviewers recognize the often invisible, unarticulated, undervalued and often misinterpreted competencies of more "relational and collectivist" people--often women and men and women from different cultures? Bonita Banducci teaches Gender and Engineering class in Santa Clara University's School of Engineering Graduate Program. In video and cartoon representation as well as in person, her students apply Gender Competence®--understanding and skills to work with gender (and cultural) differences as competencies--to job interviews both as the interviewer and the interviewee, as men and women. They show how to "mine the gold" of difference for the best candidate AND to get the job as the best candidate while establishing the value of relational competencies in the workplace and marketplace.

I have innovative way of learning for science and technology that help you not only become good at it but also enjoy it. I have teach math for years, and my experience have been that factors such as gender, age, and race, background are not determining factors for being good at math and enjoy learning that.

Measure Impact, Not Activity - Voices 2015

Deanna Kosaraju

Measure Impact, Not Activity Karen Catlin, Karen Catlin Consulting Voices 2015 - www.globlatechwomen.com LIVE - At Santa Clara University, Room #330C located on the 3rd floor of the Learning Commons Session Length: 45 minutes Most women’s affinity groups measure their activity. How many events they’ve run, how many people attended each event, and the like. What’s often missing is a vision of what will be different because of the group’s impact and how to measure it. Frankly, I'm not surprised. That's exactly what I did when I ran the women's group at Adobe Systems. I founded that group in 2008, and while I'm proud of our accomplishments, I didn't measure our impact. I honestly don't think I knew how to. At the time, calculating the return on investment seemed like a holy grail. I've since realized how important it is to measure the impact of an affinity group and how to go about doing so. In this talk, I will provide practical tips for identifying the vision, gaining support, defining the strategy for achieving it, and measuring the impact.

Women’s INpowerment: The First-ever Global Survey to Hear Voice, Value and Vision of Today’s Young Women Jin In, 4Girls GLocal Leadership (4GGL) Voices 2015 - www.globaltechwomen.com Wed March 11 11:00 PST Wed March 11 14:00 EST Wed March 11 18:00 UTC Wed March 11 23:30 IST Thu March 12 5:00 Sydney Session Length: 1 Hour Today, it is almost indisputable that EMPOWERMENT of girls and women is required for sustainable development. Whether poverty, violence and terrorism, or population explosion, as stated by Kofi Annan, 7th Secretary General of the United Nations, “There is no tool for development more effective than the empowerment of women.” And yet, what do we really know about empowerment of women, particularly at the global level? One global monitor is the Millennium Development Goals. Specifically, Goal 3 is to promote gender equality and empower women. However, when examined in details, its one target is to eliminate gender disparity in education, and its four indicators are: 1. Ratio of girls to boys in primary, secondary and tertiary education; 2. Ratio of literate women to men, 15-24 years old; 3. Share of women in wage employment in the non-agricultural sector; and 4. Proportion of seats held by women in national parliament Another is the World Economic Forum’s Global Gender Gap Report. Here it specifically states that it ranks countries according to gender equality, NOT women’s empowerment. Therefore, what may be THE GAP in gender gap is empowerment. And to begin our understanding and knowledge, 4GIRLS GLOCAL LEADERSHIP (4GGL) created and launched the first-ever global survey to hear voices, values, and vision of today’s young women around the world. Our goal for this Conference is to share our initial findings, as well as begin a critical conversation about empowerment – the most powerful tool for change. What to read more about Jin In? Check out her website. You can also read her story, a fascinating read!

Optimal Execution Of MapReduce Jobs In Cloud - Voices 2015

Optimal Execution Of MapReduce Jobs In Cloud Anshul Aggarwal, Software Engineer, Cisco Systems Session Length: 1 Hour Tue March 10 21:30 PST Wed March 11 0:30 EST Wed March 11 4:30:00 UTC Wed March 11 10:00 IST Wed March 11 15:30 Sydney Voices 2015 www.globaltechwomen.com We use MapReduce programming paradigm because it lends itself well to most data-intensive analytics jobs run on cloud these days, given its ability to scale-out and leverage several machines to parallel process data. Research has demonstrates that existing approaches to provisioning other applications in the cloud are not immediately relevant to MapReduce -based applications. Provisioning a MapReduce job entails requesting optimum number of resource sets (RS) and configuring MapReduce parameters such that each resource set is maximally utilized. Each application has a different bottleneck resource (CPU :Disk :Network), and different bottleneck resource utilization, and thus needs to pick a different combination of these parameters based on the job profile such that the bottleneck resource is maximally utilized. The problem at hand is thus defining a resource provisioning framework for MapReduce jobs running in a cloud keeping in mind performance goals such as Optimal resource utilization with Minimum incurred cost, Lower execution time, Energy Awareness, Automatic handling of node failure and Highly scalable solution.

Featured Session: Voices Live Chicago Conference Location: Aon 200 East Randolph Chicago, IL USA 12-2pm CST Panel: Cracking the Glass Ceiling: Growing Female Technology Professionals Will be streamed on Spreecast and WebEx from 12-2pm CST on Friday, March 13th Moderators: Margaret Resce Milkint, Managing Partner, The Jacobson Group; WING Co-Founder; ITF Board Member David Mendelsohn, Managing Partner, DLA Piper; WING Co-Founder Panelists: Danelle Kent, Consultant¸ SWC Technology Partners Danelle is a Certified Project Management Professional (NU) with 4+ years of combined experience in detail oriented technical writing and quality assurance analysis. She currently supports full software lifecycle by facilitating different functional roles including quality assurance analyst, business analyst, and technical writer. Arti Arora, Aon Deanne Hettich, Vice President Practice Leadership, Aon Hewitt Cynthia Clarke, CIO, Mesirow Financial Jeff Hughes, Vice President Information Technology, CNA Marisa Cabrera, IT Rotational Program Participant, CNA Abstract: Despite the strides made recently for women in business, female tech professionals continue to be outpaced by their male counterparts. According to Silicon Valley Bank’s Innovation Economy Outlook survey, less than 50 percent of technology companies have women in the C-suite or serving on the board of directors. Only 19 percent of CIO positions for Fortune 250 companies are held by women. In fact, the gender disparity among technology professionals seems to be increasing in spite of recent gains throughout the workplace. Fewer women are joining the tech workforce and the numbers of female students studying technology is in decline—today only 18 percent of computer science majors are women, compared to 37 percent in the mid-1980s. Add in a continued wage imbalance and a high turnover rate for female tech professionals mid-career and it is clear that there is work to be done. How can we encourage more women to join the technology field and insurance technology in particular? What can be done to break down the barriers to success as a female technology professional?

Heart Rate Variability and the Digital Health Revolution Ronda Collier, SweetWater Health Voices 2015 www.globaltechwomen.com Thu March 12 13:00 PST Thu March 12 16:00 EST Thu March 12 20:00 UTC Fri March 13 1:30 IST Fri March 13 7:00 Sydney Session Length: 1 Hour According to leading medical institutions such as Stanford, Harvard and the Mayo Clinic, stress is responsible for more than 90% all disease. Most people are stressed to some degree and many are not aware of it. This may be due to the fact that the brain is a giant filter and pattern matcher. When a condition becomes familiar the brain filters it out, even if it is not good for you. HRV is the latest buzz word in the digital health revolution. It provides an objective measure of the stress or “fight or flight” response in your nervous system, and insight into situations, thoughts and behaviors that cause stress. In addition, it is a measure of systemic health and is an early indicator for heart disease and hypertension. Legacy HRV measurement systems were expensive, bulky and did not provide meaningful feedback for the general population. Thanks to mobile platforms such as smart phones and tablets, HRV is available to the consumer, providing an accurate and easy way to measure and manage the weak link in the chain, also known as stress.

The only way for companies to be competitive is to innovate, not only with respect to their product offering, but also with respect to their marketing and to their work processes. Moreover, all organizations need innovation in order to stay ahead in the game. Non-profit organizations need to bring innovation in their processes to attract more donors; schools need to innovate with respect to the teaching methods, as well as with respect to the programs they offer, for instance to take advantage of the latest technologies available, or to engage the students more in the learning process. In this presentation we will focus on innovation and on its two good companions, creativity and invention. We will talk about the differences between the three, while also showing the intrinsic connection between them. Giving real-life examples, we will talk about different types on innovation. We recognize that innovativeness is an elusive trait, that one cannot predict how innovative somebody will be in his or her position. Nevertheless, there are certain things that organizations can do to allow for and to stimulate the innovativeness of their employees/members. We will talk about processes that organizations can use in order to inspire and foster innovation.

The confidence gap between men and women is caused by factors that range from upbringing, social conditioning, and biology. Today the 8 most desired characteristics for the modern leader are considered to be feminine, so when women become more courageous, they will naturally become more effective leaders and everyone benefits. In this session, you will: • Begin to learn what it takes to overcome self-doubt and become unstoppable in the face of fear • Develop the courage and clarity to take action and take risks • Understand how confidence combined with core strengths creates powerful and authentic women

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object Calisthenics

Dorra BARTAGUIZ

After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing Days

Kari Kakkonen

My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024 Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Editor's Notes

Moved from working on the Oracle Unix and C stack to an internet company in 1998 which was at the bleeding edge of technologies – Java had just been conceived. The entire Enterprise platform J2EE was literally getting spec’ed out at NetDynamics.
Motherhood transformed life – working at all hours was not an option any more.
My first idea was Howdyhood – literally a Facebook for neighbors to interact with each other.
