The purpose of this presentation is to give any student who likes to explore his universe the opportunity by using cyberspace as a medium to tour and learn about unknown worlds.
Astronomy is the study of anything outside Earth's atmosphere. It began as people observing the sky to track the seasons. Today, astronomers use various tools like telescopes, satellites, and probes. There are about 15,000 professional astronomers worldwide and 300,000 amateur astronomers in the US. Amateur astronomers make observations and discoveries. Astronomy includes areas like observational astronomy using different wavelengths of light, celestial mechanics of planetary motion, and theoretical astronomy of developing models.
Optical telescopes use either lenses or mirrors to gather and focus light, allowing astronomers to see objects that are too faint or distant to view with the naked eye. Refracting telescopes use lenses to bend and focus light, while reflecting telescopes use curved mirrors. Spectroscopy reveals properties of astronomical objects like temperature, velocity, and composition by separating light into its component wavelengths. Astronomers use several techniques to measure the vast distances to stars and galaxies, including trigonometric parallax for nearby stars, and variable star properties like period-luminosity relationships for more distant objects.
Galaxy Forum Kansas 2014 -- Daniel Webb -- Colonizing Mars and Investigations...ILOAHawaii
This document summarizes presentations about future missions to Mars and investigations by the Cassini and Juno spacecraft. It discusses how various organizations like NASA, SpaceX, and Mars One are planning missions to colonize Mars in the coming decades. This includes rovers exploring the surface, delivering cargo and supplies, and eventually sending crews. The document also provides an overview of Cassini's findings at Saturn like liquid water under the ice of Enceladus and methane seas on Titan. Finally, it outlines the goals of the Juno mission to Jupiter to determine the planet's deep structure and composition.
The document discusses several futuristic models for space travel, including solar sails that use radiation pressure to propel large mirrors, nuclear pulse propulsion that uses nuclear explosions in stages to accelerate to near light speed, and warp drive which uses gravitational effects to compress and expand space-time to allow for faster-than-light travel. Current research projects exploring these concepts are mentioned, with the implication that sci-fi technologies like warp drive may become reality within the next 50 years.
FROM UNDERSTANDING BASIC PARTICLE PHYSICS —to exploring the Universe During the first half of 2013, a number of startling advances in astro-particle physics have been announced. In addition to this--the next ultra large cosmic ray experiment is being developed, regions of the world (including southwest Kansas) tested for their suitability to host such an experiment. In this talk you will get a brief introduction of the ideas of particle physics and how they are being transformed into astro-particle measurements to further understand the Universe and the forces within it.
- Sundials use the sun's position to tell time and can only be used outdoors during daylight hours without cloud cover. Ancient examples were placed in prominent locations to indicate solstices and equinoxes.
- Stonehenges were used as celestial calendars, burial sites, sacrificial altars, and defensive structures in ancient times.
- Telescopes allow viewing of distant celestial objects like stars, planets, and galaxies. The Hubble Space Telescope is the most advanced telescope currently in use.
Louise Riofrio talks on the Speed of LightILOAHawaii
The document discusses the history of cosmological theories from an Earth-centered model to a Sun-centered model proposed by Copernicus to the modern Big Bang theory. It also proposes that a simple equation, GM=tc^3, may help solve problems in cosmology such as the lunar orbit anomaly and observations of distant supernovae. Future experiments like the Atomic Clock Ensemble in Space could help test predictions of a changing speed of light from the proposed equation.

Astronomy is the scientific study of celestial objects and phenomena outside the Earth's atmosphere, while astrology is the pseudoscience claiming to divine information about human affairs based on the positions of stars and planets. Early astronomers like Ptolemy, Copernicus, Tycho Brahe, and Johannes Kepler made observations and developed models of the universe that established astronomy as a science. Galileo Galilei was one of the first to use a telescope to observe craters on the Moon, moons of Jupiter, and sunspots, advancing the field. Modern astronomers use powerful optical and space telescopes to study distant galaxies and probe deeper into space.
The document provides an overview of the Maunakea Spectroscopic Explorer (MSE), an innovative upgrade to the 3.6m Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT) located on Maunakea, Hawaii. MSE will have the unique capability to obtain spectra of thousands of astronomical targets simultaneously, allowing it to survey the sky and answer fundamental questions in astronomy. It will have a large primary mirror, wide field of view, and ability to observe in optical and near-infrared wavelengths. MSE is designed through international collaboration and will continue CFHT's legacy of community outreach and education.

The document discusses black holes, beginning with how blue giant stars can go supernova and collapse into black holes due to intense gravity compressing the remains. It then mentions how the Hubble Space Telescope took the first picture of a black hole and how white holes are theorized to work in the opposite way of black holes by pushing objects out rather than pulling them in. The document concludes by stating there is still more to learn about mysterious black holes and thanks the viewer for learning some facts.
The document discusses three recent discoveries in space exploration. It describes how astronomers have found evidence of "dark matter" making up half of the universe's missing mass by detecting the brightening of stars caused by dead stars passing in front of them. The document also discusses how Hubble photos revealed the universe may contain many more galaxies than previously estimated, around 50 million galaxies. Finally, it discusses a computer simulation suggesting the early solar system may have originally had five giant planets, with one planet getting ejected during a gravitational disturbance caused by Jupiter's shifting orbit.
- An exoplanet is a planet located outside of our solar system. Scientists use several methods to detect and analyze exoplanets including astrometry, radial velocity measurements, transit photometry, and gravitational microlensing.
- Researchers look for signs of extraterrestrial life both within our solar system by exploring places like Mars and Jupiter's moons, and around distant exoplanets using telescopes to analyze atmospheres for things like oxygen levels that could indicate life.
- Kepler-186f, located about 500 light years away, is one promising candidate in the search for an "Earth 2.0" due to factors like being solid, possibly having an atmosphere, and residing in its star system's habitable zone.

-- Large optical telescopes on the Moon – Paul Hickson, Professor, Department of Physics and Astronomy, The University of British Columbia.
The Moon offers some unique advantages for future very-large optical telescopes. The airless environment, slow lunar rotation and precession would enable a zenith-pointing telescope, located near one of the lunar poles, to survey a large region of sky and study the epoch of galaxy formation. I will present results from a recent NASA/CSA study that considered the feasibility of lunar liquid-mirror telescopes having apertures in the 20 to 100 metre range.
The universe is mostly empty space with small clusters of matter and energy. It contains our Milky Way galaxy and other galaxies like Andromeda. Important astronomical objects and phenomena mentioned include Mars, Saturn, Uranus, comets, black holes, supernovae, gravitational lensing, and colliding galaxies. Stephen Hawking contributed significantly to our understanding of cosmology and black holes. The document discusses the origin and future of the universe.
The document provides information about astronomy and the solar system. It discusses the definition of astronomy and describes the solar system including the eight planets, their satellites, asteroids, comets, and other objects within the sun's gravitational influence. It then focuses on specific planets like Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Venus, and Mercury. Details are given about their composition, orbits, moons, and other characteristics.
A Mars rover used a laser to zap the surface of a rock on Mars. Each laser pulse delivered one million watts of energy for five billionths of a second. The laser system, called ChemCam, is designed to take 14,000 measurements throughout the Curiosity rover's mission on Mars. The rover mission generated different opinions, with some viewing it as an achievement and others seeing it as mysterious.
Mars is an extreme planet that offers little hospitality to visitors. It has the largest volcano in the solar system, the deepest canyon, and unpredictable weather and temperatures. The Phoenix spacecraft launched in 2007 to study the northern polar regions of Mars, where water ice is found. It landed successfully in 2008 and spent over 150 Martian days digging trenches and analyzing soil samples to search for organic compounds that could indicate the possibility of past life. Phoenix carried instruments to study the atmosphere and scan as high as 20 km to observe cloud and dust activity.
Mars is an extreme planet that offers little hospitality to visitors due to its arid, rocky, and cold conditions. It has the largest volcano in the solar system and crazy weather patterns, posing challenges even to extreme sports enthusiasts. The Phoenix spacecraft launched in 2007 to study Mars' northern polar regions and search for water ice and organic compounds, landing in 2008. It has an oven and laboratory to analyze soil samples from trenches dug by its robotic arm up to 1.6 feet deep to study seasonal climate changes in the water ice layers. Phoenix also scans the atmosphere and measures temperature and pressure.
Dr. Christina Lacey discusses EHT Black Hole Image of M87 at Galaxy Forum New...ILOAHawaii
The document summarizes information presented by Dr. Christina Lacey about imaging the supermassive black hole at the center of galaxy M87. It provides evidence for the existence of black holes through observations of stars orbiting Sagittarius A* at the center of the Milky Way and discusses images taken of M87 and its jet by the Hubble Space Telescope and Event Horizon Telescope. It describes properties of the M87 black hole revealed by the EHT such as its mass of 6.5 billion solar masses and size of 40 billion km in diameter.
This document discusses black holes, including their definition, structure, theories of formation, methods of detection, and two specific black holes - Sagittarius A* and Cygnus X-1. It defines a black hole as a region with gravitational fields too strong for light or matter to escape, and describes their key structures like the singularity, event horizon, and accretion disk. It also outlines some theoretical explanations for black holes and how astronomers detect their effects through light deflection and influences on nearby objects.
Tools used by astronomers (au + lightyears)RileyAntler
Early astronomers used tools like the sundial, merkhet, quadrant, astrolabe, and cross-staff to measure the passage of time and the positions of stars and other astronomical objects. The telescope, invented in the late 16th century, revolutionized astronomy by allowing astronomers to observe celestial objects in greater detail. Units like the astronomical unit (AU) and light-year provide standardized measures for distances within our solar system and across the wider universe.
This document provides information about black holes, including their structure, formation theories, detection methods, and two specific black holes - Sagittarius A* and Cygnus X-1. It describes the key components of black holes as the singularity at the center with infinite density, the event horizon boundary, and accretion disks of spiraling material. It also discusses theories such as black holes forming from collapsed stars and acting as tunnels to other universes. Sagittarius A* is identified as the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way, while Cygnus X-1 was the first galactic black hole candidate discovered.
The Hubble Space Telescope was proposed in the 1920s and developed over several decades with contributions from NASA, ESA, and astronomers. It was launched in 1990 and has helped astronomers determine the age of the universe is around 13-14 billion years. Hubble orbits Earth and is able to observe distant objects without interference from the atmosphere. It has undergone several servicing missions and instrument upgrades to continue making new discoveries.
The document provides information about the sun, moon, planets and space. It defines terms like axis, rotation, orbit, revolution and satellite. It lists the order of the planets and provides facts about specific planets. It introduces Sally Ride as the first American woman in space. It reviews the criteria for something to be considered a planet and discusses why Pluto is now considered a dwarf planet. Finally, it provides study tips for an upcoming science test on chapter 12 about the solar system.
The Constitution of India was adopted by the Constituent Assembly on November 26, 1949 and came into effect on January 26, 1950. It draws from various indigenous and foreign sources such as the Government of India Act of 1935 as well as constitutions of the U.S., U.K., Canada, and Ireland. The Constitution establishes India as a sovereign socialist secular democratic republic with a parliamentary system of government. It has both federal and unitary features - executive and legislative powers are divided between the central and state governments, but the central government can take control in times of emergency. The Constitution guarantees fundamental rights to citizens and directive principles for policymaking.

The document provides an overview of Earth and life science topics including:
1) The Big Bang theory describes the origin and evolution of the universe from the earliest known periods to its current large-scale structure, with the Big Bang occurring approximately 13.8 billion years ago.
2) After the initial expansion of the universe, matter condensed into stars and galaxies, and atoms later formed, allowing life to develop on planets.
3) Our solar system formed 4.5 billion years ago from a cloud of gas and dust, with the sun at its center and planets, moons, asteroids and other bodies in orbit around it.
This is part of report titled “The Digital Universe of Opportunities: Rich Data and the Increasing Value of the Internet of Things” By EMC. The piece talks about how Digital Data will grow in India and to what proportions.
Right now, almost 60% of the data is being produced at matured markets such as US and Europe. By 2020, emerging economies such as India, China, Russia and Brazil will account for majority of data production. With Internet penetration and mobile access increasing in these countries, this is not entirely impossible.
Charles Darwin was a British naturalist who developed the theory of evolution by natural selection. He observed that over generations, animal traits gradually change through a process where individuals with traits better suited to the environment tend to survive and reproduce more. Darwin's book "On the Origin of Species" introduced the scientific theory that all species of life have evolved over time from common ancestors through this process of natural selection. The document provides background on Darwin and examples of how giraffes, horses, and peppered moths evolved over time to develop traits better suited to their environments.
This document provides an overview of key concepts in evolution including:
1. Evolution is the change in populations over time through natural selection and common descent. Microevolution refers to changes within populations while macroevolution creates and eliminates species.
2. Darwin's voyage on the Beagle and observations of variations within populations and the struggle for existence led him to develop his theory of evolution by natural selection.
3. Evidence for evolution includes the fossil record, comparative anatomy, embryology, and molecular biology which show conservation and diversification of genes matching evolutionary relationships.
The document summarizes theories about the formation and evolution of the universe:
1) The Big Bang theory proposes that approximately 13.8 billion years ago, all matter in the observable universe was condensed into an incredibly dense singularity that suddenly exploded, causing the universe to expand rapidly and form light elements.
2) As the universe expanded, gravity caused matter to condense into the first stars and galaxies. Observations of redshifts in light from distant galaxies provide evidence the universe continues expanding today.
3) Current theories suggest three possible ultimate fates for the universe depending on its overall density - continued expansion, eventual contraction, or a stable flat state.
The document describes a fictional mission where the student must prove they know more about the sun, moon, and earth than aliens in order to rescue Mr. Milne, who has been abducted. The student is instructed to complete a data collection worksheet by researching various facts about astronomical objects, distances, and orbits. They then take a quiz to test their knowledge and determine if they have obtained enough information to defeat the aliens and save Mr. Milne.
Este documento introduce los conceptos básicos de las reacciones químicas. Explica la diferencia entre fenómenos físicos y químicos, y define una reacción química como aquella en la que los reactivos originales se transforman en productos diferentes tras romper y formar enlaces. También describe los factores que afectan a la velocidad de una reacción química, como la temperatura, concentración y presencia de catalizadores.
The document discusses the water cycle and the different states of water. It explains that 75% of the Earth's surface is covered by oceans, which contain 97% of the planet's water in the form of salt water. The remaining 3% is fresh water, found in rivers, lakes, glaciers, and underground. The water cycle involves evaporation of water from oceans and land into vapor, which rises into the atmosphere and condenses to form clouds. Precipitation occurs when the water falls as rain or snow to the ground, where some soaks into the soil and some runs off into rivers and lakes, eventually making its way back to the oceans to repeat the cycle.
This document provides an overview of stars and galaxies for middle school students. It begins by discussing our place in the universe and then covers the electromagnetic spectrum, classifying stars, classifying galaxies, and the history of the universe. Key topics include the components of the universe (stars, gas, dust, clusters, nebulae, galaxies), different types of stars and galaxies (spiral, elliptical, irregular), and how stars are born, evolve over time, and die.
The document provides an overview of the size and contents of the universe. It begins by explaining that the universe includes all physical matter and energy, from atoms to galaxies. It then notes that the tour will focus on the part of the universe outside Earth. The document goes on to summarize how human understanding of the universe's size has expanded over time, from only a few thousand light years across to immensely larger. It lists some of the key components that make up the universe, such as matter, energy, planets, stars, and more.
The document discusses the four main systems that make up Earth: the atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and geosphere. It focuses on the hydrosphere, explaining that water covers 70% of the Earth's surface and is essential for life. It then describes the water cycle, in which water is in constant motion between the oceans, atmosphere, and land via evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and collection.
Theories explaining the origin of the universe.Iris Veda David
The document discusses theories on the origin of the universe. It describes the Big Bang Theory, which proposes that the universe began approximately 15 billion years ago from a huge explosion. It also describes the Open Universe theory, where galaxies are continually moving farther apart and may eventually collide in a "Big Crunch." Additionally, it outlines the Steady State theory, which suggests the universe has neither a beginning nor end and matter is constantly created throughout the universe.
The Earth is divided into four main layers - the crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core. The crust is the thin outer skin of the Earth, making up only 1% of its volume. Below the crust lies the mantle, which is the largest layer and divided into upper and lower sections. Within the Earth is the core, with the outer core being liquid iron and the inner core being incredibly hot solid metals.

There are four main types of galaxies: elliptical, spiral, barred spiral, and irregular. The Milky Way is a giant barred spiral galaxy containing 200 billion stars. Galaxies range in size from thousands to trillions of stars. The Milky Way is approximately 10,000 light years in diameter and contains a supermassive black hole at its center.
Lesson 1 - 'Layers of the Earth' PowerPointKarlee K
The document describes the four main layers that make up the interior of the Earth: the crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core. It provides details on the composition and characteristics of each layer, including their varying temperatures and materials. Specifically, it notes that the crust is the outermost solid layer, the mantle makes up 84% of the Earth's volume and flows slowly, the outer core is a liquid layer of molten iron, and the inner core is a solid ball of iron alloy.
The water cycle describes the continuous movement of water on, above, and below the surface of the Earth. The sun warms water in oceans and lakes, causing it to evaporate into water vapor in the air. Water vapor condenses to form clouds, and air currents move clouds around the world. When clouds become too full, water falls as precipitation like rain or snow. Precipitation returns to oceans, lakes, and rivers, where the cycle repeats.

The student reflects on taking an astronomy course, finding the material beyond the first exam more challenging and conceptually difficult, but also more rewarding. They enjoyed learning about telescopes, the Earth and moon, solar system formation, and the seasons. The student looks forward to continuing their study of increasingly complex astronomical concepts.
Radial velocity measurement, which detects tiny wobbles in a star's motion caused by an orbiting planet, was the first technique used to detect exoplanets in 1995. It remains a primary method and has discovered hundreds of planets by measuring changes in the star's spectrum over many observations. The Kepler space telescope has also found thousands of planet candidates using the transit method, which detects dips in a star's brightness when a planet passes in front. Other techniques like astrometry, microlensing, and direct imaging aim to directly image planets, but have had limited success so far due to the huge contrast between planet and star signals. Future space telescopes may enable direct imaging and characterization of Earth-like exoplanets.
The universe is infinite and our solar system is a tiny part of it. Yet it is so vast that we haven’t yet been able to fully explore it. From all the information that the great astronomers have been sharing with us, we have prepared a basic quiz that will help you understand how much you know about our solar system. For instance, did you know that Wasp 17B is one of the largest known planets in the universe? There may be many more massive bodies out there that we are yet to discover. With help of advanced telescopes, human eyes have reached parts of the space where we wouldn’t even have imagined going a few decades ago. Humans have sent rovers and satellites to orbit distant planets including Mars and Saturn. We’ve been able to see what exactly creates the rings around Saturn. Isn’t it amazing to even imagine the possibility of finally being able to understand how the universe came into existence?
Well to make it easier to understand and study in an entertaining way, we have come up with a series of quizzes related to space and astronomy. Take the quiz, share your score and invite your friends to participate.
Go ahead and take the quiz!

Lab Report for Lab #9:Where in the Milky Way Are We?
Part I: The shape of the Milky Way
1. Look up the morphological classification of the Milky Way. There is a bit more to it than “spiral”. Look for information on morphological classification in text books and/or online. Find out the shape of the Milky Way galaxy.
[Type answer here]
2. Identify the parts the Milky Way. Some possible parts of a galaxy are: bulge, disk, halo, bar, or arm. Knowing the type of galaxy the Milky Way is, you should be able to identify the types of features the Milky Way has. Create a physical model of the Milky Way and identify the features it has. (A globe is an example of a physical model of Earth.) Describe your model and label all possible parts.
[Type answer here]
3. Use your planetarium software to observe the Milky Way from the northern and southern hemispheres. Based on your observations (without the aid of telescopes or other wavelengths of light outside the visible range) explain how these observations support the conclusion that we live in a galaxy with the shape of your model. Further, determine in what part of the galaxy the Sun must be located to see the Milky Way as we do.
[Type answers here]
Part II: Mapping the Milky Way with Globular Clusters
Galaxies like the Milky Way have objects, called “globular clusters” that exist in the outer regions of the galaxy (or halo). Globular clusters are dense clusters of stars that are generally free of gas and dust. In galaxies like the Milky Way, the gas and dust are located primarily in the disk. If we want to look for objects that we can see clearly (with no interference from gas and dust) we must observe objects in the halo. In the late 19th century an astronomer named Harlow Shapley devised an experiment to determine the position of Earth in the universe using globular clusters. He chose these objects because of their apparent lack of interaction with the gas and dust in the Milky Way.
Step 4.Explain how Shapley’s experiment could be used to determine the position of Earth within the Milky Way. Given what you already know about the part of the galaxy in which the Sun is located and the information about globular clusters, what information would Shapley need to figure out the position of Earth? For about how many globular clusters do you think he would need to get this information to determine the position of Earth? Describe the experiment and list the steps one would need to take.
[Type answers here]
Step 5. As a group, devise a method for determining the position of Earth within the Milky Way using globular clusters. Decide how many globular clusters you want to observe. Decide what information you need to do the analysis. There may be many different ways of analyzing the data, there does not need to be group consensus for the analysis, but each method that is used should be discussed with the group.

It also provides contact information for locating NASA educational materials and programs.
Five thousand robots on a telescope in Arizona are mapping the universe by collecting data from galaxies to study dark energy. Dark energy is accelerating the expansion of the universe, but its properties are unknown. The robots use fiber optics to collect light from millions of galaxies over time, allowing scientists to map the expansion of the universe and how dark energy has affected it. By observing the redshift and baryon acoustic oscillations of distant galaxies, DESI aims to provide the most detailed 3D map of the universe to date and answer questions about the nature and future of the accelerating expansion caused by dark energy.
When it comes to planetarium shows, “questions and answers” is our absolutely favourite time. But last week one primary school visitors took Q&A to the next level. They came to their Wonderdome Astronomy lesson with questions already prepared and written down! More questions came up during the show, so some of the prepared questions we didn’t have time to go through. There was only one thing we could do!

The ExoplanetSat Mission to Detect Transiting Exoplanets with a CShawn Murphy
1) ExoplanetSat is a CubeSat mission that aims to detect Earth-sized exoplanets transiting nearby bright stars using ultra-precise photometry.
2) It will monitor individual target stars to detect the characteristic dip in light level caused by a transiting exoplanet. Any planets detected could then be studied by larger telescopes to characterize their atmospheres.
3) ExoplanetSat's design incorporates a 6cm telescope combined with a fine image stabilization system to achieve near shot-noise limited photometry, allowing detection of Earth-sized planets transiting stars as bright as magnitude 6.

This paper discusses theoretical solutions for interstellar travel, including fusion drives, solar sails, and warp drives. Fusion drives could propel a ship to 10-20% the speed of light using contained fusion reactions, allowing travel within 20 light years. Solar sails, the only existing technology, could reach 60% light speed with powerful lasers and travel to nearby stars within a human lifespan. A hypothetical warp drive could contract space in front and expand it behind, riding a wave of spacetime and allowing travel faster than light, though this technology is at least 100 years away. While interstellar travel poses huge technological challenges, developing these solutions could allow humanity to spread beyond the solar system.
Digital citizenship is about helping students learn valuable ways to use social networks, how to provide constructive feedback and build groups of people with common interests to enhance appropriately focused behavior. These are the digital citizenship skills the millennial learner will need when they enter the workforce.
Deeper learning is an umbrella term for the skills and knowledge that students must possess to succeed in 21St-century jobs and civic life.In practice, deeper learning prepares students for postsecondary education. They should graduate from high school equipped to be: “College and Career Ready means an individual has the academic preparation, cognitive preparation, technical skills, and employability skills to be successful in postsecondary education, in the attainment of an industry-recognized certification or in the workforce, without the need for remediation.”
The emergence of digital media formats, Internet resources and the ability to create digital content through the use of interactive mobile devices like tablets, smart phones, and interactive whiteboards have now become a standard feature of every learning environment. This presentation by Mike King will provide ways to create digital rich publications. Participants will be provided with various digital tools to construct interactive multimedia-rich publications from text to flipbooks
Under the new Kansas Quality Performance Assessment regulations school districts are to create a framework for data transparency when developing long range plans using the 5R model. In this presentation participants will learn how to develop a long range district plan using the 5R's assessment rubric. Included in the presentation are ways to define the 5R framework and how to use technology to create a transparent data dashboard.

iBooks is an app that allows users to read ebooks and other digital books. It can be used to export books created in other apps like Book Creator. To export a book from Book Creator, you tap the paper with an arrow icon and select iBooks as the export destination. iBooks also allows downloading books, though students should get teacher permission first to ensure content is appropriate. Downloaded books will appear in the iBooks library even if later deleted.
Transparency allows relationships to mature faster, as openness can potentially avoid misunderstandings that can fuel unnecessary tension. In this presentation a review of the Kansas Accreditation rubric will be defined as a process of transparency in developing a district needs assessment. The biggest problem with division is having too much on the plate, too many variables to work with causing people to divide in their choices. What happens in many organizations is the lack of defining quality. Preview each rubric and define the meaning of each statement. Then create an opportunity for input through group dialogue, consensus and value ratings. The presentation promotes the necessary steps to developing a district needs assessment based on building trust and relationships through real time collaboration of data sharing.
If the observation is an essential part of the evaluation system, then the interpretation and analysis of the observation data are at the heart of the feedback process. There are two essential functions that the evaluator should take into account when helping teachers interpret observation data. First, the evaluator plans a strategy for the management of the post-conference; the strategy dictates what issues to treat, which data to cite, what goals to aim for, how to begin, where to end, and who should do what. Analysis and strategy exist for the sake of understanding present events in order to exercise greater control over future events. In other words, the interpretation of today's teaching data is primarily for the sake of gaining a high probability of success in tomorrow's teaching. Second, the data must be analyzed; during the feedback conference, the evaluator attempts to support a teacher reflective process to make sense out of the observation data in order to make them intelligible and manageable.
School leaders are encouraged to shift their focus from managerial tasks to instructional leadership by having critical conversations with teachers about student learning and growth, observing classrooms to provide meaningful feedback, and supporting ongoing teacher development through modeling best practices and facilitating professional learning communities.
We have to recognize that over the 150 year ago Horace Mann brought back from Prussia a new educational system. Throughout this history of a Prussian education system the American classrooms have seen very little change from self-contained entities from which they were created.During this time, our society has experienced technological advancements that continues the transition from the Industrial Age, to the Information Age and into the Conceptual Age. Each layer of transformation has set a new stage of thought on how to provide a modernized education for a given society. "How well do you have to understand the technology to use it in your classroom?" To answer the question, it is not about understanding how to use technology, it is about understanding how to access information, and use digital tools to create new forms of connected learning.
Since 1960 and throughout the 90's education has witnessed incremental changes in public policy that has ranged from improved practices to big government presidential initiatives starting with Johnston, Regan, Clinton, Bush, and Obama. What may be missing in these incremental changes to improve education are the disruptive technology innovations that have occurred over time when education policy makers were conversing on the ideas of accountability through federal support structures. These were the disruptive innovations that were occurring within society; the technology innovations responsible for the first transistor radio, home computer, and internet. The same disruptive innovations creating a global telecommunication network that encouraged imagination and began to customize individual learning from Web 1.0 (read and write web) to the construction of Web 2.0 (social networks) of share and share alike resources.
Much can be said about why learning goals are important as they are useful as a prism through which we can view the totality of school improvement. This means that goals need to be rightly understood as they are urged to unify the most essential elements of a schools success.
Orientation activities are designed to acquaint students and their parents with a new school environment. These activities will be held toward the end of the school year to help the students and their parents make a satisfactory transition into a new school campus. During these transitions, parents and students will have an opportunity to hear firsthand how the school is organized, to meet the principal and faculty, to tour the facility and learn about the programs the school offers. Pre-enrollment information will also be provided as part of the orientation.
The components introduced in digital learning design provides opportunities for teachers to construct a concept development framework that is multidisciplinary, student centered, and authentic to 21st Century skills. The digital learning design framework is based on research in both explicit instruction and constructivist learning. Using the digital design framework will help teachers pull together elements of college and career readiness standards, while constructing deep learning opportunities for students to perform.
Digital Learning Design serves as a “hub of innovation” that teachers can use to nurture learning skills, competencies, and habits of mind that provide students essential skills for tackling new and demanding cognitive challenges. Digital Learning Design is about teaching, learning, communicating, collaborating and creating.
Google Earth is a virtual globe. Once downloaded user can access geographical map information through a built-in search. The program maps the Earth by superimposing satellite imagery, and aerial photography of geographical information. The Google Earth free version provides multiple functions such as capturing 3D building image sketch ups, and surfaces are available. Users can create and save KMZ files for pinning locations on a map. When using Google Earth in Digital Learning Design the KML files (keyhole markup language) can be specified to specific spots on the globe. It’s similar to bookmarking a location and it allows teachers to produce links for points of interest.
This document discusses the history and levels of digital learning design, specifically as it relates to interactive media. It outlines 8 levels of digital lesson design, from early hyperlinks to modern augmented reality. The first 4 levels discuss early hyperlinks and embedding them in presentations and images. Levels 5-7 cover using QR codes, augmented markers, and markerless geo-location to add interactive elements in the physical world. Level 8 discusses augmented vision through devices. The document emphasizes how these tools can enhance learning for millennial students by engaging them through images, collaboration, discovery and creativity.
This document provides instructions for students at Dodge City Middle School on how to use their iPads. It outlines four steps for turning on and off the iPads, organizing apps, taking pictures with the camera, and creating a home screen. It also lists rules for internet usage, using YouTube and camera apps, and immediately stopping an activity when instructed.
The emergence of digital media formats, internet resources and the ability to create digital content through the use of interactive mobile devices like tablets and smart phones have now become a standard feature of every classroom environment. Teachers are discovering innovative ways to create digital rich technology based interactive lessons. The methods used in interactive lesson design can offer an array of ways to access and combined content into a complete seamless learning experience. Teachers who use the interactive lesson design features will find that content no longer needs to be segmented and delivered in isolation but has the potential to be combined into interactive presentations that responds to an individual’s touch to access content.
Please note that all graphics represented in this presentation are active through some type of interactive link, including augmentation, bar codes and hyperlinks.
Wanting to know you matter to someone is more than just a request for recognition; it is a desire and quest for significance. We don’t want to know we matter; we need to know.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
- These are slides of the talk given at IEEE International Conference on Software Testing Verification and Validation Workshop, ICSTW 2022.
