NC Digital Learning Plan Overview - August 2014mjsamber
The Friday Institute for Educational Innovation at NC State University has been tasked with developing the North Carolina Digital Learning Plan in collaboration with various education stakeholders. The plan will address how the state can transition from funding textbooks to funding digital materials, leverage existing systems like Home Base and the NC Virtual Public School, ensure all schools have necessary technology infrastructure, enhance teacher training, update education policies to further digital learning, support local districts' digital transitions, fund the digital learning transition, and impact post-secondary education.
This study examined assumptions that young people prefer online news over print newspapers. A survey of 198 U.S. college newspaper advisers found that while digital platforms are popular, print editions remain the most read format and generate the most advertising revenue. The majority of advisers saw print circulation and revenue as stable or declining only slightly in the past 3 years. Most advisers viewed an online-only model as unlikely within 5 years, noting that the print edition's campus presence is important for visibility and readership among college students. The findings suggest digital natives are not entirely abandoning print newspapers as commonly believed.

It argues these tools can help engage students and leverage their digital lives to improve information literacy.
Mediakasvatus varhaiskasvatuksessa -esityksessä herätellään varhaiskasvattajan mediakasvatuksellista ajattelua ja vahvistetaan omaa mediasuhdetta. Lisäksi käydään läpi mediakasvatuksen perusteita ja uutta varhaiskasvatussuunnitelmaa.
Mediakasvatusseura ja Pelastakaa Lapset ry pitivät yhteisen puheenvuoron NUORI2017 -tapahtumassa. Esityksen aiheena olivat seksisisällöt mediassa ja seksuaaliset ilmiöt verkossa sekä lasten ja nuorten mediakasvatus.
Esitys on suunnattu lasten ja nuorten parissa työskenteleville aikuisille. Esityksen tavoitteena on lisätä näiden ammattilaisten tietoa lasta ja nuorta seksualisoivasta ja laittomasta kuvamateriaalista, sekä selkeyttää toimintaohjeita materiaalin osalta.
Ungas medievardag är allt med mångsidig och medieinnehåll är en byggsten för ungas identitetsbyggande.
Men hur står det till med mediekritiken - finns den där när falska nyheter, manipulerade bilder och odaterade videosnuttar knackar på? Och hur kan vi som jobbar med unga stöda dem i att upptäcka det roliga i att tänka mediekritiskt?
Föreläsning av Isabella Holm på NUORI2017, 28.3.2017.

Seksiin liittyvät viestit sosiaalisessa mediassa

The document summarizes the perspectives of Finnish media educators on recommendations for children and youth's media use. A survey of 64 media educators found that the term "screen time" is too simplistic and doesn't consider content. Respondents felt that recommendations should focus more on what children do online rather than just time spent. While some guidelines on time are still useful, educators saw a need for updated, shared norms and qualitative recommendations, especially for young children, addressing content, self-evaluation, and balancing media use with other activities. Current topics in media education discussed included privacy, commercialization, and ensuring cooperation across the field.
Ruutuaika-käsite nousee säännöllisesti esiin lasten ja nuorten mediankäyttöä koskevassa keskustelussa. Ruutuajalla viitataan erilaisten näyttölaitteiden (esim. tietokone, älypuhelin, tabletti, televisio…) äärellä vietettyyn aikaan. Käsite on lähtöisin Nuoren Suomen liikuntakasvatuksen asiantuntijaryhmän vuonna 2008 antamasta suosituksesta, jonka mukaan päivittäinen viihdemedian äärellä vietetty aika tulisi lapsilla ja nuorilla olla maksimissaan kaksi tuntia. Terveyden ja hyvinvoinnin laitos THL on viitannut suositukseen myös omissa julkaisuissaan ja monet lasten ja nuorten parissa työskentelevät asiantuntijat ovat omaksuneet ruutuaika-suosituksen.
Mediakasvatusseura (www.mediakasvatus.fi/seura) halusi selvittää mediakasvatuksen parissa toimivien ammattilaisten näkemyksiä ruutuaika-käsitteestä toteuttamalla avoimen Ruudulla-kyselyn, joka suunnattiin erityisesti mediakasvatuksen parissa toimiville ammattilaisille ja opiskelijoille.
Osallistujia pyydettiin vastaamaan viiteen kysymykseen, jotka käsittelivät ruutuaikaa sekä lasten ja nuorten mediankäyttöä. Valmiiden vastausvaihtoehtojen (kyllä, ei, en osaa sanoa) lisäksi kysymysten yhteydessä oli mahdollisuus jättää avoimia vastauksia. Saadut vastaukset on tiivistetty alla kysymyskohtaisesti.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
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.
