This document summarizes Yun Qin's lesson plan for teaching students to read and retell a simple Chinese story called "Yugong Yi Shan". The lesson plan has the following key points:
1. Students will read the story "Yugong Yi Shan" aloud with the teacher and discuss the beginning, middle, and end.
2. Students will then read the story independently and retell the sequence of events to the teacher.
3. The teacher will explain the structure of stories and have students roleplay parts of the story to practice retelling.
4. As an assessment, students will retell the story to partners to check their comprehension and ability to recount what happened.
A large wildfire in Crowsnest, Alberta grew out of control in August, with flames reaching 50 meters high over a 6 km stretch, resembling an atomic explosion. Residents were asked to leave their homes as the flames destroyed 20,000 hectares of forest.

The document discusses the use of new media technologies in various stages of a music video project. In the research stage, the author searched YouTube and blogs to find inspiration. Photoshop and PowerPoint were used to create mood boards. During planning and construction, the author designed a CD digipack and advertisement using Photoshop and fonts from Dafont. Images were edited in Photoshop and animated in Premier Pro. For evaluation, the author used YouTube to post and gather feedback on the video, SurveyMonkey for surveys, SlideShare to share presentations, and blogs to document the process. A variety of technologies supported research, planning, construction and evaluation of the project.

The document discusses the need for an inclusive innovation ecosystem in India to promote innovation at all levels of society. It notes that while Indians are innovative, there is currently an absence of an ecosystem to support innovation. Specifically, it notes that the current ecosystem lacks "Search & Share" capabilities, making it difficult for innovators and startups to find the right support for their ideas. The document proposes creating a National Innovators Network based on a National Innovation Number assigned to each project. This network would serve as a platform to help innovators more easily search for information and spread innovation throughout the ecosystem.

This document summarizes a presentation on using cloud-based software for peer review of writing. It discusses how the presenter initially thought they were a good writer but learned more through peer review activities on Google Docs. Students reported that sharing writing digitally made it easier to provide anonymous feedback. While some students were concerned about plagiarism, most found their writing improved from reviewing peers' work and applying feedback to their own writing. Challenges included time management and procrastination, but working with partners facilitated learning different perspectives to improve teamwork skills. The presentation concludes by advocating for continued use of cloud-based pedagogies in education.

It raises concerns about romanticizing leadership and reducing citizen power, asking if culture accepts autocratic leaders and if schools should. It provides talking points on these issues.
