Microsoft PowerPoint 2013 has several easy-to-use tools that add motion and life to your slides and help you build a more memorable multimedia experience. But remember, when it comes to animations, try not to go overboard. The idea is to make your audience excited ... not queasy. In this clip, you'll take a look at some of the animations you can use to add action to your words.

Hundreds of donated or discounted technology products are available for nonprofits, whether desktop software, computer equipment, accounting packages, network hardware, or cloud-based tools.
TechSoup's Gayle Samuelson Carpentier, Independent Sector's Matt Perdoni, and Good360's Lenore Freeman navigate this landscape so you can access the many resources available. By taking advantage of programs from industry leaders like Microsoft, Google, Adobe, Cisco, Salesforce, and Intuit, can help you stretch dollars while improving and streamlining operations.
In this webinar, you will:
-- Hear about the top five resources no nonprofit or library can or should do without.
-- Identify tools that can help you organize data about your donors and volunteers.
-- Be exposed to the array of software products available to help support or streamline operations and office processes.

Chaos Theory: How Real-Time Data is Making Analytics and Product Design Obsol...Oxford Tech + UX
Beverly May, Executive Director of the UX Awards, presented the Chaos Theory: How Real-Time Data is Making Analytics and Product Design Obsolete during the DAA New York Symposium on May 7, 2015.
Today’s digital services deliver chaos. They are rendered in real-time and completely customized for each user. Every person has a unique Facebook profile, feed, list of friends and configuration of their privacy settings, apps and plugins. Every user has a flights search result based on browser and cookie settings, search destinations, date and time of day, preferred airlines and their geographic location, that determines exactly what offers they do (and don’t) see and how they change over time. Every person performing a Google search will see different results based on device, browser, profile, location, demographics and even their credit history.
Not only is the data and content that each user sees almost completely unpredictable; so is the design. Google’s Material Design, true responsive design and the card-based approach to modern UX means each person’s interface and experience also cannot be controlled. Enter into the equation the coming wave of natural user interfaces through gesture, eye tracking, brain sensing, and text-to speech, as well as the rise of machine learning and AI, and the level of data and product design complexity becomes infinite.
This engineered chaos not only cannot be properly measured, it also cannot be designed. Systems cannot be “designed” or measured, because the exact customer experience of any one user simply cannot be predicted. Rather, design and analytics have become the creation of holistic rules and preferences in the hopes of controlling and then documenting the chaos some of the time.
The result? What we have now is true Chaos Theory in digital services in which when a butterfly flaps its wings in Brazil, it can indeed cause a tornado in Texas. In short, many digital services are becoming cyborgs: living, organic, and highly complex digital ecosystems. We have only just begun to glimpse meaning of the impossibility of data analytics and design, let alone the impact on our human-digital future that is unfolding.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

http://digitalbootcamp.ning.com/For today’s session, we will be using this Ning site to gather your thoughts, comments and ideas. Anyone new to Ning? (If so, go through the basics. If not, have them Sign Up and we will mainly focus on the FORUM to answer specific info and the CHAT arena for Yes/No info)
Ask question, have participants go to the FORUM and find question #1 and reply.
It has to do with people, has a certain energy about it and should be cast, not contained or restrained. Sometimes a grand vision contains BIG ideas that may be difficult to follow.
http://silviahartmann.com/background-tile-art/images/1-silk-blue-background.jpgGo to the FORUM area and answer #2, discussion as well.
Yes/No through CHAT feature on Ning.Add more specific info, such as their actual school/division VISION statement on #3 in the FORUM. Have a discussion.
Does it include anything about: “Fostering innovation in teaching and learning, leveraging technology, personal relationships, community partnerships and creative delivery to offer a tailored learning experience.?”Add any further information, discussion on FORUM question #4.
Does your school/division have a technology policy? Yes/No in CHAT area.Discussion can be made into FORUM #5 plus answer:1) Name three issues for which a technology policy is needed in school.2) What is a GOOD policy?– should tie in with our vision, be positive, contains high expectations. Check out http://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AeJuPhKYJgSOZGRtaHNidnFfMzVncXRrc2JuZg&hl=en_GB together.Discussion of policy, regulation, procedure (maybe?)***Like RUP – responsible use policy. (Daughter going out with a guy – do want him to be acceptable or responsible?) Like responsible. This AUP is old. We have an obligation to help teachers and students learn to manage that responsibility.***
How do admin become integrators/facilitators of technology? How do we work with administrators to make their actions and rationales visible to all = purposeful transparency. And how can we help them to see the collaborative conversations and work that is going on in the school/division? = productive eavesdropping. Share your own info in FORUM #6.Regardless of the potential promise of any technology innovation, specialized effort is needed to assure widespread and effective use. We should be asking ourselves:1. How can the change process be facilitated to achieve high levels of implementationin classrooms and across a school?2. What factors and approaches can be applied for achieving widespread use?3. What is the extent of implementation with each individual and school?4. How do outcomes vary with extent of implementation?Share your thoughts.Share your:Recommended ReadingRecommended Tools/Videos
Schools are public places – have to think about how to put it out there? Purposeful about what you want to say. How does an administrator make their actions visible?Have participants share….aloud.Show the How Great Leaders Inspire Action by Simon Sinek – first 5 minutes only.
How can administrators help staff, parents see the discussions and the work that is going on in the school? Need to create opportunities for people to do this. Listen in such as a chat room or backchannel like todaysmeet. Sometimes that goes array in backchannels or mike was still on (unproductive eavesdropping). Kids and staff listening in. Make sure what they hear/read is productive. Need to be purposeful such as in a blog, school twitter feed. Show 5 minute video PLN for Educators.Have participants share….aloud.
One way to be purposeful is to show administrators how to use an RSS aggregator like netvibes. Bring in a few administrative blogs and then admin can productively “listen in”. A great site to find people to follow is this wiki - http://supportblogging.com/Links+to+School+Bloggers.This is the Reader view in netvibes.
This is the same Admin page but in Widgets view.The point is to see if there is anything that you can contribute to the ongoing conversation. As well if there are teachers who are blogging in your school, an administrator can “pull” those blogs onto a page within netvibes to read, follow and make comments. Next step may be to have an administrator start their own school blog or professional blog (also known as a blogfolio). Modeling purposeful conversations is also important and allows you to think about how you are being purposefully transparent. Networks build community and community can build networks.Show Bill’s blog http://kidblog.org/Grade45/and George’s school/professional bloghttp://georgecouros.wordpress.com/and my blog http://ottomat3ch.wordpress.com/. Ask participants their thoughts…..What should be happening you are finding ways to connect with those that think the same or different or are going somewhere you have never thought of. We get to determine which people and organizations to follow.
Be thoughtful of the tools we are using – allowing other people to drop in?? (Diigo does that – sharing your blog URL.) Be thoughtful of the tools you choose – help you be purposefully transparent and productively eavesdroppeable. During PSD’s YEAR 1 Supporting Innovative Classrooms – SLItech (admin group): our journey commenced with:Introduction of tools (collaboration, audio, video, written). (Again, the tools are not the important piece but engaging conversations, learning, motivation, connection are!)Discussion of purposeful learning/modeling using technology Acknowledging 9 effective strategies for Admin to use while integrating/facilitating tech integration at their siteIntroduction to ISTE NETS Admin, Teacher, StudentBook study: Using Technology in Classroom Instruction that WorksFlip through magazine http://issuu.com/nlakusta/docs/slitech_in2ovation_magazineand comment…* And yes, there are admin who say they don’t have time to build a network so I take more time with them to nurture, to set up their tools. They will be ready at different times to do this and it’s OK. I try to encourage that they be part of or at least aware of the professional, educational and technological conversations that surround them.
In summary, we live in a time where we are engaged in some exciting innovations in education. We also acknowledge that implementation efforts must be strategic/visionary. Meeting the needs of ALL learners is our goal; yet it doesn’t come without challenges.Comments?Thank you – please complete an evaluation form.
