The document discusses teaching digital citizenship skills to students using the BIG SIX research model. The BIG SIX is a six-step process for effective online research that includes defining tasks, seeking information, locating sources, using information, creating a product, and evaluating work. The document advocates for teachers and librarians to model these skills and have students apply them to various projects involving online research and collaboration in order to prepare them for an information-rich world.
Transforming Education Through Two Words: You Matter. AMA
Angela Maiers hosted an "Ask Me Anything" session on social media to discuss education and her work promoting the message that "You Matter". In her responses, she discussed several key topics:
1) The role of social media in classrooms varies greatly but can be used powerfully if done well.
2) She has built her personal brand over 25 years through consistent sharing of her ideas via various media.
3) She is currently working on secret projects with companies like Facebook that she believes will be world-changing.
4) The most important issue schools face is students feeling insignificant, and simple acts each day to show students they matter can address this.

The document discusses the importance of developing network literacy skills in a hyperconnected world. It defines network literacy as having the ability to create, navigate, and grow personal learning networks in safe, effective, and ethical ways. Specifically, it emphasizes the need to share information and connections with others, curate and edit information, and foster diversity within networks to support their growth. Developing these skills allows individuals and networks to continuously learn from each other.
Handrail anatomy
This document outlines the anatomy and specifications for a handrail, including:
(1) The boundary joist must be treated timber and attached to joists with bolts and plates for strength and stability.
(2) Balusters connect the boundary joist to other rails with bolts positioned 25mm from the top and bottom, and their size depends on the rail and baluster spacing.
(3) A top rail is fixed to balusters with nails, with more nails used for larger baluster spans, and must be at least 1000mm high.

Upvc fascia
UPVC fascias, soffits, and bargeboards provide a low-maintenance alternative to wood. Any services in the existing fascia will need to be relocated by specialists before installation. Proper scaffolding is recommended for safety when working at height. Ventilated soffit boards improve roof ventilation and should be considered when replacing soffit. Thorough preparation of existing wood elements and roofing felt is important for a long-lasting installation.

Key steps include measuring the room, calculating rolls needed, filling any holes or cracks, starting in a corner and working away, cutting lengths to fit adding extra for trimming, pasting one length at a time and smoothing onto the walls, and trimming edges.
Hanging a door
The document provides instructions for hanging an internal door. Some key points:
1) Doors often need to be trimmed to fit the opening as houses can shift over time. It is best to start with a square frame and cut the door to fit rather than adapting the frame.
2) Common internal door sizes are listed in both metric and imperial measurements. Doors can also be purchased as "door blanks" and customized.
3) When hanging the door, mark where it will be cut by holding it in the frame. Always leave the cutting line so the door is not cut too small. Hinges are typically 7 inches from the top and bottom.
4) Chisel out recesses

Self-Training Jobs & Interfaces that Teach - Whitehouse Maker to Manufacturer...
The idea here is that the economy is becoming more and more complex over time, and that means we need to change the way we think about education because curricula become outdated too quickly.
My answers to this are: training self-learners, new forms of on-the-job training, workplace / workstation interfaces that teach you how to use them. The full implementation of this would be called a "self-training job".

Discussion Membership in a Learning CommunityCommunities are, i.docx
Discussion: Membership in a Learning Community
Communities are, in essence, places where members are bonded to one another by mutual commitments and special relationships, where they share a set of ideas and values that they feel compelled to follow.
—Thomas Sergiovanni, “Small Schools, Great Expectations”
From the time they are born, people learn from others—long before they are aware of it. In many cultures, small family units gradually widen into larger communities, including communities of formal education that include teachers and independent scholars. In addition, within these larger communities, people often join smaller communities, such as sports teams, organizations, and informal friendship groups. As people progress through higher education, they make additional conscious choices about the communities of which they become a part, including those specifically geared toward learning and growth.
As a DBA independent scholar at Walden, you are not alone. You have made a conscious, self-directed decision to become part of the Walden learning community. Of course, at times it may be tempting, as you sit at your computer, to think of your pursuit of your degree as a solitary effort. It will take conscious commitment to engage as an active member who both learns from and contributes to a learning community.
As you watch and listen to others talk about the experience of being part of the Walden learning community and attending residency, reflect on the opportunities and responsibilities that exist for you. Consider your support strategy as you prepare your analysis.
To prepare for this Discussion, review this week’s readings and view the media “Being Part of a Learning Community and Attending Residency.” Also, listen to the insights offered by Walden DBA independent scholars in the interactive media piece “Voices of DBA Students.” Focus on the students’ explanations of what it means to be a part of the Walden learning community and their descriptions of their residency experience. Consider the week’s literature, along with your SWOT analysis, and assess your support needs.
By Day 3
Post an analysis of your role in your new learning community, including the support you require to complete your doctoral degree. In your analysis, be sure to do the following:
· Detail the steps you will take to establish your role in your new learning community.
· Categorize by your goals the individuals that are or will become members of your learning community.
· Assess how these individuals will support you in achieving your goals.
· Evaluate when and how you will reach out to your learning community to share your goals and needs.
· Identify challenges to building your learning community.
· Analyze your goals for residency—in particular, what you hope to contribute and what you hope to gain from spending time with others in your learning community.

Wound healing PPT
This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

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.

- 1. Teaching High on the Blog Reasons and Assessment
- 2. Why Blog? Your Reasons: why are you here? My reasons: who are students are, where they’re at, and where they’re going
- 3. Reason #1: Who Our Students Are Digital Natives are: Visual learners Natural collaborators Read, write, & trust personal reviews rather than Tv commercials Used to being open and honest on the web Roos (2007)
- 4. Reason #2: Where Our Students Are Ways blogs fit our environment: Extends learning community Dovetails with online portfolios Easier for you than journals developing fluency According to Andrew Sinclair and Stacy Kitsis, a good place for developing critical thinking in front of their peers.
- 5. Reason #3: Where Are Students Are Going Prepare them to be principled, knowledgeable, and caring Netizens GSIS is a safer environment to get it wrong and learn
- 6. Format Word Press Edublogs Google Sites Ning Blogger
- 7. Concerns about Safety? Pen Names help students to align more with ideas than popular people (Richardson). Stacy Kitsis found her students are more polite online than in class. Kitsis(2008).
- 8. Assessment Use peer assessment to encourage students to keep writing and to write more. Allow students to chose what they want you to assess, both of original posts and responses. With detailed descriptors on the rubric, allow students to assess their own work.
- 9. Tips to BlogHeaVEn Participation every week Clear expectations of quality Required peer review Teacher assessment every quarter Self-assessment Students choose best work Sinclair (2009).
