At the end of the presentation you will “Vault into the Heavens” by taking a short tour of Google Sky and many of its features. Google has a new venture called Google Sky. The new feature allows users to get close views to 100 million galaxies and 200 million stars. To view the Google Sky, download the recent version Google earth software. To launch the Sky application, go to view and select to ‘switch to sky’. With Google Sky you can zoom in to see stars, planets, and constellations.
Many reference resources have been added to the presentation including Google Earth and Sky virtual trips. In “Take A Tour of the Planets”, Einstein appears to introduce, Saturn, Mercury and Venus which are the predominated August planets now hovering over North America.
Guide to Google Earth
Google Earth is a virtual globe. Once downloaded user can access geographical map information through a built-in search. The program maps the Earth by superimposing satellite imagery, and aerial photography of geographical information. The Google Earth free version provides multiple functions such as capturing 3D building image sketch ups, and surfaces are available. Users can create and save KMZ files for pinning locations on a map. When using Google Earth in Digital Learning Design the KML files (keyhole markup language) can be specified to specific spots on the globe. It’s similar to bookmarking a location and it allows teachers to produce links for points of interest.

The document discusses a project by students at Alfred University to create a detailed 3D digital model of their campus in Google Earth. The students used SketchUp to model buildings by importing photos, textures and components to accurately represent structures. They also included additional location-based information like videos, surveys and sensor data as "placemarks". To distribute their work, the students created their own website since options like Google Earth forums and the 3D Warehouse did not meet their needs for organizing and updating the content. The website provides public access to the campus models and information created through the project.

Planning for Geography & Global Learning: Chembakolli
This document provides resources for teaching about India, including videos, maps, and websites. It suggests activities like having a guest speaker who has visited India, writing letters to a sponsored child in India, and using maps and images to explore different regions of the country. Questions are posed about what children will learn and do in their project. The resources listed could be used to introduce children to India's varied landscapes, cultures, and ways of life.
Teaching about a Village in India
This document summarizes a project undertaken by Year 4 students at Jump Primary School to investigate the village of Chembakolli in India. The students used maps, globes and the internet to locate Chembakolli. They then imagined the journey they would take to get there, stopping in New Delhi before taking a train, bus and rickshaw to reach the village. Upon learning more about Chembakolli through photographs, the students were inspired to make positive changes to improve their own behavior, attitudes and learning at school.

PGQM - Leading the way
The document discusses the Primary Geography Quality Mark (PGQM), which is a framework used by schools in the UK to evaluate and improve their geography curriculum. It provides examples of how schools have used the PGQM to highlight effective geography teaching, raise the profile of geography, and develop their curriculum. The PGQM self-assessment framework guides schools through an auditing process to identify strengths and areas for growth in their geography program.
Leading the way in Primary Geography
This document provides an overview of a seminar focused on supporting subject leadership in primary geography. It introduces the Primary Geography Quality Mark (PGQM) as a tool for developing, evaluating, and gaining recognition for geography curriculum quality. Key areas that underpin effective subject leadership are discussed using examples from PGQM schools. The seminar focuses on developing a vision for geography and recognizing geographical achievement. Effective geography curriculum is described as living geography that enhances students' understanding of their identity, community, and world.
What is geography?
A fun way to identify distinctly geographical activity - it works in conjunction with a matrix - checklist - see Leading the Way,
Geography is a key subject
Words written by Professor Simon Catlin in the introduction to `Understanding and Developing Primary Geography', in the Primary Geography Handbook, 2004, The GA, Ed. Stephen Scoffham. They are exemplified here with photographs and examples of work that have , in the main, been submitted by schools that have achieved the Primary Geography Quality Mark.
Student Voice Survey - Feb08
The document summarizes the results of a geography student voice questionnaire collected from Dr Thomlinson Middle School in Rothbury. Students indicated that they enjoyed drawing and labeling maps, going on field trips, and learning about different places. They wanted more map work, field trips, fun games, practical work, posters, internet use, and information about the environment. Students wanted less map work, less time sitting and working from textbooks, and less written work. To improve the geography student voice board, students suggested displaying student work, using more colorful maps, and providing more interesting facts and information about what each year is studying.
Geography on display
William Shrewsbury Primary School featured several geography displays and activities for different year levels. The foundation stage held orienteering activities and a display based on the story "Going on a Bear Hunt". Key stage 1 had displays exploring Africa and China. Key stage 2 had a hall display and the year 5 classroom featured topics on rivers, fieldwork, water, and the environment.

Photographs for geography
Geograph is a photography project that provides high quality images covering every square kilometer of the UK. The images are shared under Creative Commons licenses, allowing their use in classrooms without breaking copyright. Geograph images meet size and quality criteria for display on interactive whiteboards. Other sources of appropriate images include Flickr and Picasa under their Creative Commons options, as well as sites from National Geographic, NASA, and the BBC that may require checking copyright. The Geographical Association also has freely available images to support geography teaching activities.
City of the week
An interactive powerpoint. (If you want the interactive element to work you will need to download this slideshow). Show one image at the start of each am/pm class session (or modify the Powerpoint text to adapt to your own needs). The aim is to see how quickly someone in your class can identify the correct city. There is nothing to stop them doing a bit of their own research using the internet. Have a class suggestions box for children to post their ideas. This is quite a difficult one (shown to adults). Change the pictures and make a much simpler version for your class - depending on their age.
`What If ...' start with a book
This document provides a suggested lesson plan about recycling centered around the book "What If? A book about recycling". The plan incorporates geography, science, art, and citizenship topics. It includes ideas for activities like sculpting with recycled objects, studying coastal erosion, and role playing traveling with recycled materials. The overall goal is to explore recycling and sustainability through the lens of a fictional story.

Chris Jones, Director of Product Management at BrainChip , presents the “Temporal Event Neural Networks: A More Efficient Alternative to the Transformer” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
The expansion of AI services necessitates enhanced computational capabilities on edge devices. Temporal Event Neural Networks (TENNs), developed by BrainChip, represent a novel and highly efficient state-space network. TENNs demonstrate exceptional proficiency in handling multi-dimensional streaming data, facilitating advancements in object detection, action recognition, speech enhancement and language model/sequence generation. Through the utilization of polynomial-based continuous convolutions, TENNs streamline models, expedite training processes and significantly diminish memory requirements, achieving notable reductions of up to 50x in parameters and 5,000x in energy consumption compared to prevailing methodologies like transformers.
Integration with BrainChip’s Akida neuromorphic hardware IP further enhances TENNs’ capabilities, enabling the realization of highly capable, portable and passively cooled edge devices. This presentation delves into the technical innovations underlying TENNs, presents real-world benchmarks, and elucidates how this cutting-edge approach is positioned to revolutionize edge AI across diverse applications.Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).
