The document discusses the faculty's fear of openness in education. It outlines 5 common fears: 1) openness may damage reputation if poor materials are shared, 2) may impede teaching if students see materials in another class, 3) may endanger careers if open publishing replaces traditional publishing, 4) may lead to legal issues around copyright, and 5) may result in financial losses if materials can be freely downloaded instead of buying textbooks. The document asks how to respond to these objections to openness in education.

1) Susanna is 5.50 ft tall which is 167 cm. There are 4 quarts in a gallon of milk and 1 quart is 0.946 liters so 1 gallon is 3.785 liters. A 5 lb sack of potatoes has a mass of 2.27 kg. A 10K race is 10 km which is 6,214 feet. A 2 ton truck has a mass of 1,814 kg. A 3 L bottle of soda contains 180 teaspoons. If ants are 0.3 cm long, then 75 ants would be 22.5 cm or 0.225 meters long.
The document provides information about average atomic mass calculations for vanadium isotopes, molar conversions for osmium, lead, and technetium, and the number of copper atoms in a 200g copper nugget. It also includes questions about converting between moles and grams of magnesium and properties of waves, including that frequency is measured in hertz, wavelength is the distance between peaks, and energy must be absorbed for electron excitation to higher orbital shapes like dumbbells. It concludes with a question calculating the frequency of a spectral line at 999nm.
Thomas Paine was an English-American political activist and philosopher. He was born in 1737 in England and died in 1809 in New York City. Paine is known for writing influential pamphlets and papers that advocated for American independence and challenged institutionalized religion. Some of his most notable works include Common Sense, published in 1776, which was instrumental in promoting revolutionary ideas in the American colonies. Paine also wrote The Age of Reason and Rights of Man, which criticized institutionalized religion and advocated for liberalism and republicanism. He influenced many American and French revolutionaries with his radical and liberal political ideas.
The document contains review questions about momentum, impulse, and the conservation of momentum. It asks about the equations for momentum and impulse, examples of their application like a bird's momentum and a truck's runaway ramp, and problems involving conservation of momentum such as a fish swallowing another fish or a person jumping out of a moving golf cart. It also questions the differences between elastic and inelastic collisions, and how impulse relates to safely catching or stopping moving objects without damage.

Mike Sharples discusses two challenges for mobile learning: achieving massive scale and ensuring sustainability. He argues that some educational methods improve with scale through networked effects, like the telephone, and explores how FutureLearn demonstrates pedagogy at massive scale. Sharples advocates an approach of "bricolage" - creative play with readily available technologies. He suggests smartphones unlock potential through their sensors and that bricolage apps allowing citizen science, place-based stories, or blending Minecraft with the real world could lead to scalable mobile learning.
Effective Pedagogy at Scale – Social Learning and Citizen InquiryMike Sharples
The document discusses effective pedagogy at massive scale through social learning and citizen inquiry. It outlines how social learning improves with scale through networked systems like MOOCs that enable learning conversations. Key aspects of social learning discussed include visible learning through feedback, formative assessment, and goal setting. The document also explores citizen inquiry, which combines citizen science with collaborative learning through crowd-sourced projects on platforms like iSpot Nature. These approaches aim to develop scalable pedagogy that supports a diversity of learners through open-ended, socially-driven inquiry.

This document describes Sense-it, a smartphone toolkit for citizen inquiry learning. It allows citizens to conduct scientific investigations using their phone's sensors. Sense-it exposes over 15 sensors and connects to the nQuire-it platform for citizen science missions. Example missions include measuring tree height, creating noise maps, and studying the relationship between pressure and rainfall. The toolkit was tested by 300 users who created 56 missions. Evaluation found it helped learning but engagement decreased when the facilitator left, highlighting the need for sustainable communities.
This document summarizes four mobile learning initiatives and lessons learned from each. It discusses (1) the MOBIlearn project which developed mobile learning services for use outside the classroom, (2) the Elmo project for mobile language learning, (3) MyArtSpace for connecting museum and classroom learning using mobile devices, and (4) the embedding of mobile technologies throughout Djanogly City Academy school. Key lessons highlighted include the importance of designing for the learner's mobility, blending formal and informal learning, and ensuring technologies support educational goals and processes.
Chemical bonds form between atoms in order to fill their outer electron shells. Ionic bonds form when electrons are transferred between metals and nonmetals, creating positively and negatively charged ions. Covalent bonds form when electrons are shared between nonmetals. Metallic bonds form between metal atoms through a "sea of electrons".
Platform-as-a-Service is a revolutionary technology that offers rapid application development and deployment directly to the cloud. But does PaaS really pay off? Research group Vanson Bourne recently conducted a survey of 700 IT decision-makers and asked that very question.
This document discusses re-inventing tourism through pervasive and mobile technologies. It suggests new forms of tourism that combine public, family, personal, social and virtual visiting experiences. Some examples mentioned include exploring tourist sites virtually before visiting, joining live guided tours from home, using augmented reality guides at locations, and engaging with places through location-based games, media and activities. The document raises questions about how to fully design cities for digitally enhanced visiting while considering issues of privacy, safety and digital rights. It discusses the Horizon Creative Visiting theme which aims to explore how to connect real and virtual visitors and re-invent culture, tourism and guiding for diverse groups through innovative uses of technology.
AHS received 249 new computers and 33 new LCD projectors in the fall, with many funded by grants. It has a wireless network and any device can access the internet on it. China and India's populations of high-IQ individuals are larger than the total populations of countries like the US. Rapid technological changes mean jobs and skills are changing quickly, and we must prepare students for careers that don't yet exist using technologies not invented yet. Information is growing exponentially, and computational power is doubling every few years, meaning the capabilities of computers will soon outpace human brain power.
In our first in a series of features from former Heywire Alumni, Heywire 2000 winner Jane Hardy has put together an incredible multimedia experience comparing the similarities between Beijing, a city of almost 16 million people and Burketown, a city of 160 people.
The document discusses a universal charger standard for mobile devices. It summarizes that in late 2008, a proposal was made to the GSMA to standardize chargers, which tasked OMTP to define technical requirements. By February 2009, OMTP published version 1.0 of the universal charger standard at MWC, outlining a 3-part solution to standardize both ends of the charger connection. While there is still debate, the standard aims to simplify charging and be more environmentally friendly.
