Using iPads to support students struggling with literacy requirements of schoolSpectronics
This presentation will provide an opportunity for us to explore strategies and support tools proven to be effective in supporting students who are struggling with the literacy requirements in primary and secondary schools. In particular, addressing the needs of students who are struggling to keep up with the reading, writing or organisational tasks required of them. These students may be struggling because of learning difficulties/disabilities. Alternatively, they could be one of the growing numbers of ESL (English as a Second Language) students in our schools.
While the need for effective remediation is paramount for all students struggling with literacy, this workshop will be focused on using the iPad as a compensatory tool for students. While at the same time as being providing with effective literacy instruction, students also need to be getting on with the business of ‘reading to earn’ - accessing the curriculum and learning content across all their subject areas, and being engaged in meaningful communication and assessment of what they have learnt. Compensatory tools are essential in the provision of accommodations and adjustments for all students, and this will be the focus for this presentation.
An introduction to the concept of the iWorker and the potential impact it has to business. Are you an iWorker? Are you driving the adoption of Enterprise Applications?
ASLA XXIII Biennial Conference - Lisa Nash - Authoring a digital book gives students and teachers opportunity to create rich interactive content that demonstrates understanding or builds on knowledge. We explore how iBooks can be created for the iPad via Apps and iBooks Author: from simple picture books to complex books with video, audio and interactive elements.
Learn the crucial points to consider before adopting Mobile Learning (mLearning) & the steps to take to ensure effective Mobile Learning Implementation.
Some see the iPad as one more way for people to find endless distractions and entertainments, a nail in the coffin for those who seek to "amuse themselves to death." Others believe the iPad is the best exemplar to date of the possibilities for extending human abilities to learn, connect, and create via powerful portable computing devices. Either way, the iPad and its ilk deserve attention from educators considering the future of teaching and learning. This session will open a conversation about the possibilities, in the hopes of helping participants to move beyond their preconceptions and biases.

ETUG2015-Mobile Technology Integration in an Applied Science Program: Forestr...Michael Paskevicius
As mobile devices continue to proliferate throughout society, the question of how higher education might take advantage of these devices for use in teaching and learning remains unclear. While many institutions now have ‘bring your own device’ (BYOD) policies, others have mandated access to mobile devices at the program or institutional level.
The purpose of this session is present the case of how our department of forestry went about implementing a tablet initiative. The tablet was a required device for both faculty and students entering the program in September 2014 with the intended goals of reducing textbook purchase costs for students, mirroring industry standard practices in mobile device usage and enabling collaborative and active learning in the classroom.
In the session we will share what we have learned thus far in supporting the initiative and reflect on feedback collected from faculty and students in interviews, focus groups and observations throughout the program. At the end of the session, participants should be able to identify the challenges, issues and best practices for implementing a tablet initiative at this level.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
