The document discusses improving numeracy education by focusing on real-world word problems rather than abstract mathematics. It argues for using minimal language and maximum visuals in numeracy problems. Examples are provided of transforming contextual word problems into more visual, numeracy-focused problems by removing extraneous details and language. The goal is for students to demonstrate their quantitative skills through practical, functional use of mathematics.
Study: The Future of VR, AR and Self-Driving CarsLinkedIn
We asked LinkedIn members worldwide about their levels of interest in the latest wave of technology: whether they’re using wearables, and whether they intend to buy self-driving cars and VR headsets as they become available. We asked them too about their attitudes to technology and to the growing role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the devices that they use. The answers were fascinating – and in many cases, surprising.
This SlideShare explores the full results of this study, including detailed market-by-market breakdowns of intention levels for each technology – and how attitudes change with age, location and seniority level. If you’re marketing a tech brand – or planning to use VR and wearables to reach a professional audience – then these are insights you won’t want to miss.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is everywhere, promising self-driving cars, medical breakthroughs, and new ways of working. But how do you separate hype from reality? How can your company apply AI to solve real business problems?
Here’s what AI learnings your business should keep in mind for 2017.

A Better Way to Design & Build Immersive E Learningnarchambeau
Learn design techniques that take you beyond typical templates, thus making your e-learning more relevant and effective. You’ll see what constitutes effective e-learning, a method for designing e-learning that is more effective and efficient than other models, and how to create robust e-Learning lessons without having to know scripting or programming.
CS Education for All. A new wave of opportunityPeter Donaldson
Computing education in Scotland has undergone big changes recently with improvements to the National Qualifications, interesting National Progress Awards and the revision of the Technologies Experiences and Outcomes and new benchmarks for 1st to 3rd year pupils. With increased understanding of how to teach CS effectively and an exciting and progressive curriculum there has never been a better time to consider becoming a Computing Teacher.
These slides explain the changes and bust some myths about teaching as a career and were used as part of a series of face to face workshops for final year Computing students in Universities around Scotland in 2017.
