The results of "Implementing Web 2.0 in the Classroom" - PETE&C 2009Andy Petroski
In the summer of 2008 Harrisburg University conducted an educator’s workshop, “Web 2.0 in the Classroom.” Workshop participants implemented web 2.0 technology into their classrooms as part of completing the course work. Attend this presentation to hear about the web 2.0 implementations including benefits, obstacles and learning outcomes.
This document summarizes the implementation of Web 2.0 technologies at Hawkesdale P12 College by teachers Anne Mirtschin and Jess McCulloch. They began by setting up individual blogs and wikispaces to lay the groundwork for a virtual school. Over six months, 70% of teaching staff began blogging and some ancillary staff as well. Wikis were set up in the math and science faculties. Staff training involved introducing tools for personal use to encourage adoption. By 2008, 10 minute tech sessions at staff meetings and informal lunch discussions helped drive continued exchange of ideas. Students took ownership of many blogs. The school is now enrolling in global projects and establishing networks to expand use of mobile technologies and video
This is the presentation I gave (will give!) to the teachers and teacher-trainers at the Learning Technologies and Young Learners conference in Milan on 25 March 2009.
The conference was organised by The British Council and IATEFL (the International Association for Teaching English as as Foreign Language.)
This document provides an overview of using Web 2.0 tools in mathematics classrooms. It discusses the goals of integrating these tools, defines Web 2.0, and outlines why these tools should be used according to standards. Specific tools are presented like blogs, wikis, and social bookmarking. Examples of using the tools for assignments, collaboration, and professional development are provided. The presentation concludes with questions.
What the Best U.S. Principals do to Support Education TechnologyEdTechTeacher.org
1) School leaders can support integrating technology (ICT) into classrooms by empowering teachers, creating a shared vision, and immersing teachers in professional development.
2) Teachers should be encouraged as "edupreneurs" to experiment with technology in their lessons in order to shift the school culture towards 21st century skills like collaboration and problem solving.
3) Professional development programs should include lessons observations, lesson study, and online courses to model technology integration and collaborative teaching practices for 21st century skills.
The document discusses how integrating various Web 2.0 technologies can impact the classroom by engaging today's digital native students. It outlines how technologies like learning management systems, wikis, and blogs allow students to learn in new ways and teachers to improve communication. Specific Web 2.0 tools that are mentioned include HotChalk, PBWiki, ClassBlogMeister, and ePALS SchoolBlog.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
