Presentation "Using recording devices while interviewing" by Oleksa Stasevych within the workshop for youth, History begins in the Family project, Oldau, 28.08.2015
www.dialogue-of-generations.org
A quick explanation showing the process behind students sharing standard written journals through cameraphone imagery. It's a presentation made during the 2021 CESICON in Ireland that recaps successful integration of Microsoft Teams, Class Notebooks, and Moodle to complement taskings set on Moodle.
Presented during a #voicesineducation workshop as "First attempts in learning" by @topgold in LIT-Thurles. Revealing things that broke, things that worked, and ideas that lie ahead.
Here's a first look at The Wundering Moleskine, a set of water colour journals sent to creative people between the ages of six and 106. The Moleskines have social beacons that allow their content to be shared and repurposed as they travel from country to country before returning to the Limerick City of Culture in late 2014.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George

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.

Screenshots from Bernie Goldbach’s laptop as he presents Hangouts on Air. The original presentation featured in a workshop during Social Media Day in Cork, Ireland.
Bernie Goldbach’s first-hand experience with Hangouts on Air has empowered the Technology, Science and Media department at the Limerick Institute of Technology with a new teaching and learning metaphor. Hangouts work easier than Camtasia recording sessions.
We have a physical limitation with classroom seating at the moment. Hangouts on Air remove a constraint, enabling high definition video from a lecturer’s laptop.
Sometimes we put this webcam on a tripod. It has a ballast weight that keeps it stable on an open laptop screen. It also zooms down to within two inches of text on paper or objects on tables.
This condenser mic has an on/off switch that makes easy work of controlling local noise. It’s built to capture audio where you point it and I know that it can pull audio in from five metres away. We attach it to a boom pole when working with groups between 10-50 people.
These Klipsch S4i earbuds block out all noise and deliver reference audio results. Consequently, we can quickly determine which participant’s Hangout screen is producing unwelcome artifacts and we can mute that participant.
You have to have a session running order in mind.
The Hangout button is the top right function in Google Plus.
If you’re going to have problems running a Hangout over a mobile phone or a proxy, you’ll probably experience the problem at this screen.
I try to co-ordinate at least the window of time that I want to connect by Hangout. I often send a short agenda to participants by direct message.
There are limitations when trying to connect mobile devices to Hangouts.
You can fiddle with your settings before the Hangout goes live.
People often show little awareness for lighting.
Hangouts work nicely on iOS.
I have toggled the camera to the rear position and shared my local environment. This has created interesting conversations.
I can talk to Irish landlines while in a Hangout for two cents a minute.
New Hangout apps have started appearing once a week.
I use each of these apps often. On my campus network, Cacoo is laggy.
The site HangoutGraphics lets you create your own custom “lower third” for the screen.
Software like WebcamMax lets you add your lower third to your webcam stream where it’s picked up by the Google video and voice chat plugin, the one used by Google+ Hangouts.
Both sides of the connection need to be on a laptop because mobile devices cannot load this app.
A lot of the artists in our third level curriculum are discoverable.
Damien Hirst is has three pieces among the 30000 works of Google Art.
Google+ Hangout provides live video and audio. Symphonical provides real-time walls that lets you get things done together.
The Panoramio Hangout Game lets you compete with your friends to find out where a photo was taken while traveling around the world with Google Maps.
I’m trying to use images I’ve shared with Panoramio.
I plan to talk over YouTube clips while inside a Hangout.
The clips you use can be bundled and shared as a playlist.
It’s very handy adding a voice dimension to live edits inside Google Docs.
Cacoo works best for me when it’s a walk-through, not a major edit of a template while inside a Hangout.
If you know the keyboard commands, you can easily create a Mindmap during a live Hangout.
Google Hangouts have encouraged me to make more Slideshare decks.
You can talk through a slide deck in full screen with a private audience while using Google Hangouts.
If you create and record Hangouts, you really should listen and watch your work. That way, you will notice background noise and latency that might have passed you by in the real session.
I have a saved search for “hangouts” on G+ and it’s very helpful. The T9 link to “captions” is the saved search for “hangout captions”.
Both TWiG and MOC have hands-on experience with G+ and Hangouts.
Joe Garde has been using services like Google Hangouts since 2008. I’ve learned a lot from him and recommend his technical expertise. Jane Boyd has faciliated live Hangouts for international audiences. She is an excellent host. Smartphones make mobile Hangouts a doddle.
