Identity in a Digital World
1. Digital media have complicated controlling our digital footprint and separating digital and real lives, directly impacting identity. The speed and spread of social media make information easily shared publicly by default.
2. Many children have a significant digital presence and footprint from a very young age. This challenges the notion of having separate online and offline identities.
3. The complex issues around digital identity pose challenges for youth well-being but education around these topics is lacking. Cyberbullying is associated with increased risks of suicide. While students are immersed in technology, they need guidance to use it responsibly and for learning.

Homeland security
As parents, it is our job to teach our kids about life. One aspect of life we need to teach and lead them in is information security. In this talk I’ll outline our family’s approach to information security and why my bio mentions teaching my children how to hack in an ethical fashion. This talk will be more than encouraging parents to get their kids to eat their digital vegetables. It will also touch on some of the vexing problems our children face today including bullying and suicide.
Why Schools Should Be Like a Family Restaurant
Schools should embrace social connectors and technology to become more like a family restaurant. This means understanding students' interests and tastes, being visible leaders, continuously assessing what is being "served", and allowing individuality and social learning. Privacy may no longer be possible, so schools need transparency and to allow for forgivability as students develop identities online. The focus should be on relationships, catering to unique needs, having fun, and crowdsourcing mentors rather than relying only on a prescribed curriculum. In the end, schools need to realize students have choices and work to maintain positive reputations.
Digital literacy
Digital literacy is the ability to find, evaluate, and use digital information and create knowledge using digital devices. As technology becomes more integrated into daily life, digital literacy allows people to adapt to these changes. Examples of digital literacy include being able to search for information online using search engines like Google, understanding and applying the information found, and creating and sharing useful contributions online.
Tatyana McDonald
The document describes The Hole in the Wall experiment, where a computer was enclosed in a secure area of a barricaded wall to provide children in an underprivileged community access to the internet and computers. It explains how this helped the children gain knowledge, learn new skills like computer programming, and communicate with others, demonstrating how technology can benefit poor communities by increasing understanding, helping learn new skills that can lead to jobs, and providing access to information from around the world.
1.intro.potter.ch1
This document discusses the exponential growth of information consumption and creation globally. It notes that we now create as much information in two days as was created from the dawn of humanity until 2003. However, most information is transient and seen by no one. The document then discusses issues around filter bubbles online and the blurring of information sources and platforms. It defines media literacy as a set of perspectives used to interpret messages, and as a continuum involving cognitive, emotional, artistic and moral dimensions. Key aspects of media literacy are discussed as personal locus, knowledge structures and skills.
Digital Citizenship
This document discusses the key aspects of digital citizenship, including digital access, commerce, communication, literacy, etiquette, law, rights and responsibilities, health and wellness, and security. It notes that while technology provides opportunities, ensuring digital citizenship can be complicated by a variety of factors such as cultural and regional differences, lack of education, privacy issues, and harmful or illegal online behavior. Proper digital citizenship requires understanding both the benefits and potential risks of participating in an electronic society.
Digital Ascc
A Digital Native is someone who is hyper-linked to multiple online communities, constantly seeks engagement through immediate feedback, and desires to create and share content. They learn through using multiple approaches to solve problems, creative engagement, multitasking, and active rather than passive activities. The document was created by Cristina Torres, Christopher Aparicio, Shauna Duby, and Ann Walsh.
Practice Innovation Station Training Day 1
Digital natives prefer convenience over quality and expect instant results and gratification, as they believe anything not online does not exist. However, the document recommends working with their preferences by using technology to your advantage to create, engage with, and teach digital natives more effectively, as we were all initially digital immigrants and should not get frustrated by their differences.
What is the Role of English Studies in the Information Economy?
The document discusses the role of English studies in the knowledge economy. It argues that English studies should:
1) Help turn information into knowledge by imparting critical thinking and production strategies.
2) Address literacy divides by intervening in technological and economic factors that exacerbate inequities.
3) Explore the human need for social interaction and develop students' capacity for interaction.
4) Facilitate cross-cultural understanding by going beyond the classroom.
The document suggests English studies can achieve these goals by directly creating and combining information systems, becoming agents of technological change, and promoting social support in our societies.
Hive London Pop-Up Recap
The document discusses a Mozilla festival that brought together 60 youth from 12 organizations and 4 cities, including 3 London-based school groups. At the festival, youth hacked games and websites, viewed films, produced podcasts, became digital storytellers around themes of freedom and remembrance, and created digital hangout spaces. Mark Surman highlighted the digital pop-up youth space as his favorite part, noting that different groups taught different skills but with a shared goal of assuming youth want to learn and using digital tools to explore and invent. The document also mentions a fireside chat with young entrepreneurs and a learning lab discussion on creating a learning network.

The document discusses assistive technologies on the iPad for teaching orthopedically disabled students, including a screen reader, wireless braille, adjustable speaking rate, headset compatibility, audible alerts, an optional external keyboard, predictive text entry, magnification apps, multiple orientations, tactile buttons, and speak auto text features.
Technology for the disabled
The presentation describes Assistive Tech for People With Disabilities.
There is no doubting the powerful role that technology has played and will continue to play in changing the world in which we live. People with disabilities meet barriers of all types in their day to day life.
However, technology is helping to lower many of these barriers. Overall, technology aims to allow people with disabilities to participate more fully in all aspects of life (home, school and community) and increases their opportunities for education, social interactions, and potential for meaningful employment. Therefore creating greater independence and control among disabled individuals.
Information & Communication Technology for disabled
The document discusses how academics can help the disabled through information and communication technologies (ICT). It provides two case studies of ICT systems developed for the disabled: a finger-cross technique communication device and a brain-computer interface that detects imagined movements from EEG signals. It then highlights several examples of ICT projects in India that support the disabled, such as communication aids, wheelchair control systems using brain signals, and screen reading software in local languages. The document advocates that academics can contribute significantly to developing low-cost and context-appropriate ICT solutions to help the disabled in developing countries achieve greater independence.
Braile
Braille is an alternative writing system used by blind and visually impaired people. It consists of patterns of dots arranged in a grid which can represent letters, numbers, and punctuation. Braille was developed by Louis Braille in the early 1800s and allows blind people to read and write through touch. Modern braille uses 8 dots in each cell and can be encoded in computers and mobile devices to provide access to digital information for the blind and visually impaired. Braille transcription involves translating text into a contracted braille code to reduce space and allows faster reading. Technology continues to improve braille accessibility through devices like braille embossers and screen readers.
Disability and impairment
This document discusses disability and impairment in India. It begins with background on defining and understanding disability, noting it is complex with both medical and social aspects. Disability results from interactions between health conditions and environmental/personal factors. The document then discusses prevalence of disability in India, citing 2011 Census data that found over 26 million persons or 2.21% of the population identified as disabled. It increased from 2001. Most disabled persons live in rural areas and males have a higher proportion than females. The document provides definitions of disability types and risk factors like malnutrition, conflict, and traffic accidents. It also outlines government policies and schemes in India related to disability.
Disabled People
This document discusses physical disabilities and provides biographies of famous disabled people including Stephen Hawking, Helen Keller, and Ludwig van Beethoven. It defines disability as a physical or mental impairment that hinders normal achievement. Stephen Hawking was diagnosed with ALS but continued his work as a physicist despite being paralyzed. Helen Keller contracted an illness as a baby that left her deaf and blind, but she learned to communicate and graduated from college. Beethoven began losing his hearing in his late 20s and became completely deaf but continued composing renowned music.
Disability & Rehabilitation approach
All hospitals should be disability friendly, to ensure easy movement of disable patients. The presentation arrives at a solution to the all above disability issues to serve as a guide line.
Stem cell therapy
Stem cell therapy holds promise for treating many incurable diseases by replacing damaged cells. There are various types of stem cells including embryonic, adult, and induced pluripotent stem cells. While embryonic stem cells can differentiate into any cell type, their use is controversial due to requiring embryo destruction. Alternative sources like adult stem cells and iPS cells do not have the same ethical issues but may have limitations. Stem cell research faces challenges like preventing immune rejection and tumor formation but continues to advance regenerative medicine.
Stem cell therapy
Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that can differentiate into specialized cells and can self-renew. There are several types of stem cells including embryonic, adult, and fetal stem cells. Embryonic stem cells are the most versatile but also raise ethical issues, while adult stem cells are more limited in their differentiation potential. Stem cell therapy works by stem cells differentiating into the type of cells needed to repair damaged tissue when transplanted into the body. Current applications of stem cell therapy include treating diseases like cancer, diabetes, and Parkinson's disease.

Andraž Zorko: The End Of Research As We Know It
The document discusses how research and media are changing due to new technologies like the internet and social networks. It predicts that by 2025, virtual realities and consumer robotics will be mainstream, and adequate hardware to support human-level AI will be available at consumer prices. Traditional media measurements will become impossible and media will need to focus on one-on-one communication and tracking effects rather than exposures. Researchers will need to analyze digital trails, social networks, and track effects of past communications to build models and predictions.
Digital Natives & Digital Immigrants
This document discusses digital natives and how they communicate differently than previous generations. It defines digital natives as people born into the digital world who are fluent in technology and use it as their primary means of information and interaction. Digital immigrants adopt technology later in life. Key differences are that natives are always online, multitask, prefer visual media over text, and collaborate instinctively. Natives communicate through blogs, social networks and mobile devices. While technology continues to change, natives will drive revolutionary innovation through new ways of enhancing their digital lifestyle.
Tomorrow four screen world
The document discusses the shift towards a "four screen world" where people will access content and information through four main types of connected devices: smartwatches, mobile devices, portable large screens like tablets, and large fixed screens in the home like TVs. These screens will act as gateways to access a ubiquitous internet "pervasive web" that contains all media, information, and connections. Advertising and retail will also shift to be more digital and personalized across these various connected screens. The future is moving towards ecosystems of connected devices that work seamlessly together to access all internet-based content and services on different sized screens based on context.

From Neo to Trinity: The Matrix Reinvented
Mobile devices are increasingly how people access the internet and consume content. They are becoming a major part of culture by bridging the social and personal as well as online and offline worlds. While brands often use mobile as another place to interrupt users and waste their time, mobile represents an opportunity to engage with diverse audiences like women and those with lower incomes in helpful, inclusive, and useful ways. Designing for mobile's variety of devices and contexts requires flexibility and responsiveness to how people connect and share in different situations.
Libraries Bridging the Digital Divide - Jessamyn West -
Why are 15% of North Americans still offline? The shape of the digital divide and who is affected by it has changed in the 20-ish years since the graphical web arrived. Librarian and technologist Jessamyn West will talk about what we know about the digitally divided and what works... and doesn't work to help them interact with the larger world of technology.
Technology for the blind beyond braille
The digital revolution has not reached everyone in the same way.
In a world where the next great invention is expected to appear on mobile phone screens, blind and visually impaired people have been left behind.
However, some innovative projects are trying to exploit the potential of new technologies to make their life easier.
How technology impacts our lives ( finished)
Technology has greatly impacted our lives in many ways. Basic home technologies like TV, computers, and phones allow people to stay informed about news and events and communicate with others. Without these technologies, people would be isolated from world events and unable to contact others in emergencies. Portable devices owned by most teens like cell phones and mp3 players also enable communication and help in emergencies. Cars and public transportation expand people's access to resources and attractions in other towns. Machines are used in hospitals, industries, homes, and schools to help people learn, receive medical care, and live their lives. The world relies on technology to support its population and future technological advances will continue making lives easier.
