The document discusses developmentally appropriate practice (DAP) in early childhood education. It provides 12 principles of DAP, which emphasize that children learn through active experiences; development occurs through interactions between maturation and the environment; and optimal learning happens when education is tailored to children's developmental levels. The document also provides examples of how to design different centers and learning activities that apply DAP principles, focusing on literacy, fine motor skills, science, math and other domains of learning.

Outdoor playground equipment for visually impaired childrenEmily Mark
Children, regardless of their age and physical capability, need a play space where they can put their capacities to challenge. In this post, we have focused on how you can build and design a playground for children with visual impairment.
A truly emergent curriculum is driven by the interests and developing skills of the children. Although it is typically well understood in concept, it can be challenging to implement – particularly due to dependency on theme-based lesson plans. This workshop will discuss the importance of an emergent curriculum, why it works so well, and best practices for implementation.

As more and more art museums develop multimedia and mobile guides to be part of their interpretive offerings for visitors, some are developing guides specifically for family audiences. The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art and the Whitney Museum of American Art have both made that decision, and are using evaluation to develop and refine their guides in order to provide engaging and valuable experiences for families. A front-end study at the Nelson-Atkins surveyed parents about their preferences for mobile guide content from their own perspectives as adult learners, from their perspectives as parents, and from the perspectives of their children. A summative study of the Whitney’s Biennial 2012 multimedia guide explored the ways families use this type of interpretive device, as well as the their perspectives about the impact and value of the multimedia guide experience. Hear what lessons have been learned through evaluation at these two museums about developing family multimedia and mobile tours, and discover how they are impacting family visitor experiences.

Early Childhood Building +Talking = Engineering + DesignGabrielle Lyon
Design meaningful block play with intentionality to foster STEM learning in early childhood settings. This talk, presented at the Opening Minds Conference in Jan 2016, reviews research about the importance of talk for brain development, developmental block play and how these two ideas are critically important as precursors for the development of STEM & science thinking for young children. The talk describes activities at the Chicago Architecture Foundation designed for young children and families grounded in research about talk, block play and early childhood science literacy.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

The Art of the Pitch: WordPress Relationships and SalesLaura Byrne
Clients don’t know what they don’t know. What web solutions are right for them? How does WordPress come into the picture? How do you make sure you understand scope and timeline? What do you do if sometime changes?
All these questions and more will be explored as we talk about matching clients’ needs with what your agency offers without pulling teeth or pulling your hair out. Practical tips, and strategies for successful relationship building that leads to closing the deal.
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Generating a custom Ruby SDK for your web service or Rails API using Smithyg2nightmarescribd
Have you ever wanted a Ruby client API to communicate with your web service? Smithy is a protocol-agnostic language for defining services and SDKs. Smithy Ruby is an implementation of Smithy that generates a Ruby SDK using a Smithy model. In this talk, we will explore Smithy and Smithy Ruby to learn how to generate custom feature-rich SDKs that can communicate with any web service, such as a Rails JSON API.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

2. Why use DAP?
• 1. Domains of children's development
physical, social, emotional, and cognitive
are closely related. Development in one
domain influences and is influenced by
development in other domains.
http://www.naeyc.org/about/positions/dap3.asp
3. • 2. Development occurs in a relatively
orderly sequence, with later abilities,
skills, and knowledge building on those
already acquired.
http://www.naeyc.org/about/positions/dap3.asp
4. • 3. Development proceeds at varying rates
from child to child as well as unevenly
within different areas of each child's
functioning.
– http://www.naeyc.org/about/positions/dap3.asp
5. • 4. Early experiences have both cumulative
and delayed effects on individual
children's development; optimal periods
exist for certain types of development
and learning.
– http://www.naeyc.org/about/positions/dap3.asp
6. • 5. Development proceeds in predictable
directions toward greater complexity,
organization, and internalization.
– http://www.naeyc.org/about/positions/dap3.asp
7. • 6. Development and learning occur in and
are influenced by multiple social and
cultural contexts.
– http://www.naeyc.org/about/positions/dap3.asp
8. • 7. Children are active learners, drawing on
direct physical and social experience as
well as cul-turally transmitted knowledge
to construct their own understandings of
the world around them.
http://www.naeyc.org/about/positions/dap3.asp
9. • 8. Development and learning result from
interaction of biological maturation and
the environment, which includes both the
physical and social worlds that children
live in.
– http://www.naeyc.org/about/positions/dap3.asp
10. • 9. Play is an important vehicle for
children's social, emotional, and cognitive
development, as well as a reflection of
their development.
– http://www.naeyc.org/about/positions/dap3.asp
11. • 10. Development advances when children
have opportunities to practice newly
acquired skills as well as when they
experience a challenge just beyond the
level of their present mastery.
– http://www.naeyc.org/about/positions/dap3.asp
12. • 11. Children demonstrate different modes
of knowing and learning and different
ways of representing what they know.
– http://www.naeyc.org/about/positions/dap3.asp
13. • 12. Children develop and learn best in the
context of a community where they are
safe and valued, their physical needs are
met, and they feel psychologically secure.
