Bob Harrison's Presentation
Bob Harrison gave a webinar on September 12, 2014 about FELTAG (Further Education Learning Technology Action Group). FELTAG aims to support the agile evolution of the further education (FE) sector to anticipate disruptive technology for the benefit of learners, employers, and the UK economy. The webinar discussed how technology like tablets and virtual learning environments can promote students' critical thinking skills. It also addressed how the realities and drivers of education have changed with technology, but the system has not changed to recognize what technology offers. FELTAG has various partners supporting its work, but also faces challenges in raising awareness among governors, training the FE workforce, and adapting the assessment and accountability processes.

The plan's goals are to improve student achievement through technology, integrate technology across the district, meet new teacher standards, and provide a safe learning environment. It will be evaluated annually and integrated into campus improvement plans.
David Donnelly - School Infrastructure Summit 2018
The document discusses emerging risks and opportunities in the school infrastructure sector in Australia. It notes that the population is growing and becoming more urbanized, increasing the need for more school places. There is significant investor interest and capital available for social infrastructure like schools, but the current project pipeline is not meeting demand. Key risks discussed include keeping up with demographic changes, lack of past planning, flexibility in school design, and historical underinvestment in maintenance. Enablers of improved school infrastructure include better planning, stakeholder engagement, having a clear long-term vision and pipeline of projects, and streamlined procurement processes.
Deborah Millar - Preparing for Education 4.0
This document discusses the need for education to evolve to meet the needs of modern learners and prepare them for future careers and skills demands. It notes that automation could replace up to 50% of existing jobs by 2030 and that the fastest growing occupations will require skills in problem solving, creativity, critical thinking, self-regulation, empathy and relationships. It emphasizes that as education leaders, it is our responsibility to provide opportunities that ensure learners are future ready. We must embrace change, learn new things and think differently to adapt education for the future. Inspectors will assess the quality of education based on what students know, understand and can do as a result of their learning.

The document summarizes the findings of two surveys conducted by SCIE (Social Care Institute for Excellence) in 2006 and 2009-2010 on the e-readiness of social care employers and employees in the UK. The surveys found that while employees were largely ready for e-learning, many employers still lacked the necessary cultural and technological resources. Barriers to the growth of e-learning included a lack of IT access, available resources, and support. However, attitudes towards e-learning were increasingly positive due to its flexibility and cost benefits if good quality resources could be provided.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
