Technological convergence occurs when distinct technologies overlap in function and combine into single devices, as seen with mobile phones providing text, graphics, and voice. Convergence involves combining two or more different technologies into a single device, taking advantage of each technology. An example lesson plan describes using digital cameras, computers, projectors, and internet images of the eye to teach students about eye structure and function through multiple media forms converging in one lesson.

This document discusses the potential for mobile learning and how harnessing existing mobile technologies could make classes more engaging for students. It explores the idea of mobile learning through devices like phones and handheld computers and how this could facilitate learning outside of traditional lectures and tutorials. Examples are given of mobile learning activities and audience participation systems that can be used to create interactive lessons and assess student understanding in real time.
Modelling 100+ Applications for Learning Activities
Several attempts have been made and approaches have been developed to relate traditional classroom practices and actions with the continuously evolving technology. One of the most known, is based in the Revised Bloom Taxonomy (by Anderson and Krathwohl), and has spread, among others, as Digital Taxonomies, and are now referred to as Digital Competences. Some of these approaches or models involve a hierarchy of cognitive levels, and try to relate action verbs, with educational activities and corresponding applications. Different implementations of the aforementioned models and frameworks exist. We choose to present two approaches, based on models, that contain 100+ apps usable and suitable for education and every-day school activities.

Technology Integration vs. Use
There is a difference between technology use and technology integration. Technology use is simply using technology like computers, phones, or tablets, while technology integration incorporates technology into daily classroom routines and lessons to actively engage students. When technology is integrated, students use tools like interactive whiteboards, digital cameras, or response systems to explore topics independently and think critically rather than just listening passively. Technology integration leaves a lasting impression on students and allows them to develop technology skills that will be important for their future.

Digital competences: An introduction by Blanca Ávila
Digital competences are important skills for students to learn that involve safely and critically using technology for work, leisure, and communication. The International Society for Technology in Education has defined educational standards around digital skills that center around creativity, communication, research, critical thinking, digital citizenship, and understanding how technology works. Digital competencies are important for education as they prepare students for an increasingly digital world.
Instructional technologyhistoryfuture
Instructional technology is defined as the analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation of processes and resources for learning. It involves improving learning through instructional and non-instructional processes. Instructional design is a systematic process used to develop education and training programs in a consistent way through ongoing evaluation. The field has evolved over time from a focus on instructional media to include personal computers, the internet, and now wireless tools. The future of instructional technology is expected to involve ubiquitous learning through personal mobile devices and delivering more education with less physical space.

Intermitent exotropia
This document discusses intermittent exotropia, including its theories, presentation, examination, classification, treatment, and surgical management. The key points are:
1. Intermittent exotropia is thought to be caused by an imbalance between convergence and divergence muscles. It typically begins as exophoria in infancy and progresses to intermittent exotropia.
2. Examination includes measuring the deviation at distance and near with and without lenses to classify the type. Non-surgical treatment aims to improve vergence control through patching, lenses, and orthoptics.
3. Surgical treatment is indicated for deviations over 20 prism diopters, worsening control, or failure of conservative therapy.
What is Convergence Insufficiency?
Convergence insufficiency is one of the most frequently encountered binocular vision problem in children and adults. It is often associated with a variety of symptoms, including eyestrain, headaches, blurred vision, diplopia [double vision], sleepiness, difficulty concentrating, movement of print while reading, and loss of comprehension after short periods of reading or performing close activities. Have your doctor diagnose and treat this significant visual problem.
Accomodation
The document discusses accommodation and its mechanism in the human eye. It defines accommodation as the mechanism that allows the eye to focus on near objects by changing the shape of the lens. The key elements that stimulate accommodation are the apparent size of the object, chromatic aberration, blurred retinal image, oscillation of accommodation, and scanning eye movements. Accommodation is measured by its near point, far point, range, and amplitude. Conditions like presbyopia, paralysis, insufficiency, and spasms of accommodation can cause abnormalities in the eye's accommodative ability.
Accommodation
This document summarizes research on accommodation presented to the Ophthalmology Department at Al-Azhar University. It defines accommodation as the eye's ability to change refractive power and focus on objects at different distances by altering the shape of the lens. The document discusses the mechanism of accommodation, theories around how it functions including Helmholtz's relaxation theory, and types of accommodation like tonic, proximal, and reflex accommodation. It also examines anomalies of accommodation such as presbyopia, insufficiency of accommodation, and their treatment.
Anomalies of accomodation
Accommodation anomalies can occur due to various causes and present with different symptoms. Assessment involves dynamic retinoscopy and measuring accommodation amplitudes. Accommodative fatigue can result from overuse and be treated by correcting refractive errors and discussing visual hygiene. Presbyopia is age-related and treated with near vision correction. Other failures of accommodation include insufficiency, paralysis, spasm, and sustained accommodation, each with different etiologies, signs, and treatments.
Accomodation
(1) Accommodation is the mechanism by which the eye changes refractive power by altering the shape of the lens to focus on objects at different distances.
(2) Theories of accommodation include the relaxation theory of Helmholtz which proposes that contraction of the ciliary muscle relaxes the suspensory ligaments of the lens allowing it to take on a more spherical shape.
(3) Accommodative anomalies include decreased accommodation seen in presbyopia and other conditions, as well as increased accommodation seen in conditions like accommodative excess or spasm.
convergence
It is essential to assess vergence during an eye exam. There are many aspects of vergence response including near point of convergence, jump vergence, and fusional vergence. Near point of convergence is normally less than 12cm and indicates the point at which one eye turns out. Fusional vergence keeps phorias latent using the fusion reflex, and it is important to know a patient's fusional reserves. Clinical values for distance phoria and positive fusional reserves are used to evaluate if a patient is using an appropriate amount of vergence. Accommodation and vergence are related, and relative accommodation and the zone of clear vision should also be considered during assessment.
Accommodation
The document summarizes several theories of accommodation, including Helmholtz's relaxation theory, Schachar's theory, and the catenary theory. It also discusses clinical assessment of accommodation and various anomalies such as insufficiency, excess, spasm, and infacility. Treatment options mentioned include spectacle correction, vision therapy exercises to stimulate or relax accommodation, and in rare cases, cycloplegic drugs.
accommodation,reflexes,defects of vision
This document summarizes information about vision, including accommodation, reflexes, and pathologies. It discusses the mechanism of accommodation, pupillary reflexes like light reflex and accommodation reflex, errors of refraction like myopia and hypermetropia, and pathologies like glaucoma, cataracts, and color blindness. It provides details on the causes, symptoms, and treatments for various vision conditions in less than 3 sentences.
Near point of convergence
The near point of convergence is defined as the point of intersection of the lines of sight of the eyes when maximum convergence is used. It is measured as the distance from this point of intersection to the midpoint between the eyes. Measuring the near point of convergence involves having a patient fixate on a target that is slowly moved toward them while maintaining fusion until their eyes can no longer converge or they see double. This distance is used to assess a patient's ability to converge their eyes for near vision tasks. A near point further than 10cm may indicate convergence insufficiency while one closer than 5cm suggests convergence excess.
Accommodation of eye
This document discusses various theories and anomalies of accommodation. It begins by defining accommodation and related terms. It then discusses several theories of the accommodation mechanism, including Helmholtz's relaxation theory, Gullstrand's mechanical model, and Schachar's, Tsherning's, and Cotenary's theories. It also covers types of accommodation and anomalies such as presbyopia, insufficiency/ill-sustained accommodation, paralysis, excess accommodation, and spasm. Presbyopia is discussed in detail regarding pathophysiology, causes, symptoms, and treatment options like optical correction and surgery. Other anomalies are summarized briefly regarding their etiology, clinical features, and management.

The proposed system aims to address challenges faced by existing assistive technologies through improved accuracy and real-time performance of object recognition compared to other methods.
Cook Mobile Phones as Mediating Tools Within Augmented Contexts for Development
Cook Mobile Phones as Mediating Tools Within Augmented Contexts for DevelopmentUniversity of the West of England
In this paper I argue that the context for learning in the 21st Century has brought about the need to re-conceptualize or extend theories from the past if we are to develop an approach to learning design for the present and the future. Such an undertaking would appear to be timely as the nature of learning is being augmented and accelerated by new digital tools and media, particularly by mobile devices and the networks and structures to which they connect people.

Affordable Multi-touch Teaching Station for Engineering Classes
The purpose of this paper is to present the development of a cost effective multi-touch teaching station that support existing educational applications and the custom-made Multi-touch Teaching Module that are being used by instructor to teach undergraduate engineering laboratory class in Multimedia University. The technology-enhanced teaching station was developed based on optical tracking technique known as Frustrated Total Internal Refraction (FTIR) to achieve multi-touch capabilities on the table surface. The Adobe Flash-based Multi-touch Teaching Module supports popular multi-touch gestures including panning, rotating, zooming in and out on multimedia educational content such as streaming video lecture, animation and schematic diagram. The Multi-touch Teaching Module enhances the way lecturers manipulate teaching material such as enlarging a complex electronic circuitry with just fingers\' gesture when operating with the teaching station. When operating the multi-touch teaching station with existing educational applications, lecturers can use it as a normal touch screen to directly interact with the application instead of using a mouse or keyboard, making the interface more intuitive. Some lecturers have evaluated the teaching station and provided positive feedback over standard computer because it is much easier to operate. In short, the paper summarizes the experience in developing a universal multi-touch teaching station and Multi-touch Teaching Module as well as the system evaluation by instructors in an undergraduate engineering laboratory class, which is valuable for those who intend to enhance teaching platform with technology in a university.

Virtual Reality: Stereoscopic Imaging for Educational Institutions
Virtual reality (VR) in education is a markedly present subject in research institutions in many countries. This paper will discuss the application of VR techniques, including the use of computer graphics and three-dimensional (3D) video production. Stereoscopy is a key point for the visualization of these applications. The system developed uses a 3D lens, a home camera, common video edition software, two low cost projectors, light polarized filters and cheap 3D eyeglasses. During the 3D video production, the aim was to evaluate all the involved process, since the elaboration of scripts, video capture and projection until the costs to build the system. This is important to demonstrate for educational institutions the advantages in adopting resources of VR for the improvement of learning.

Graded discussion 1 PowerPoint Presentation on Convergence
- 1. “ CONVERGENCE Technological convergence occurs when sets of technologies with distinct functionalities develop so that some of the functions overlap. Convergence takes place when these multiple products come together to form one product with the advantages of all of the individual technologies. The mobile phone which provides text, graphic and voice is an example of technological convergence.” (Wild, 2006) Therefore Convergence is the coming together of two or more distinct entities or the combination of two or more different technologies in a single device.
- 2. Three images of ICT media that can effectively be converged.
- 3. Using two forms of media in one lesson Lesson :How does the structure of the eye relate to its function? Objectives Students should be able to: (a) name the front parts of the eye. (b) identify the location and tell the function of the different parts of the outer section of the eye. (c) describe how each part of the eye helps us to see. (d) label the outer parts of the eye.
- 4. Procedure -Students use digital camera to take pictures of the eyes of different aged persons. -Download pictures on computer and beam these via multi-media projector onto screen. -Identify similarities and differences of these eyes. -Upload 3-D images of the human eye from the internet and describe each part that helps us to see. -Complete an interactive activity of labeling the parts of the eye.
