The document discusses the importance of implementing blogging and other Web 2.0 technologies in classrooms to prepare students for a technology-driven global marketplace. It provides examples of how different types of blogs, like classroom blogs, individual blogs, and staff blogs, can enhance learning, creativity, collaboration, and communication among students and teachers.
Building Online Learning Communities Using Web 2.0 TechnologiesDr. Mariam Abdelmalak
In this presentation, I describe how I use Web 2.0 technologies to facilitate the development of a community of learners among graduate distant students and how students responded to the use of Web 2.0 tools and to what extent these tools assisted in developing a community of learners. Twitter, Skype, Google Documents, Blog, and Wiki were intentionally used in order to build online learning communities among students. An anonymous survey was used. The students indicated that using Google Documents, Twitter, Wiki, and blog gave them a sense of a learning community while using Skype did not give them a sense of a learning community. Google Documents and Wiki had the most impact on students’ sense of a learning community in the course.
Metacognition is taken to a higher order of thinking when students use blogging to reflect on their experiences instead of the old fashion journaling.
The pressure of performing in front of one another influences the students’ drive to achieve.
When the instructor also requires students to comment and critique each other on the blog site, they feel a sense of accomplishment. The students take on ownership of their assignments.
Educators need to be “keeping up” with the changes taking place to prepare the students for the world outside of the educational facility.

Tools of the trade: ‘Breaking the ice’ with virtual tools in online learningHelen Farley
The reality is that online learning can be a daunting and lonely experience. This is why icebreakers can be a rewarding practice for both students and educators. The use of icebreakers allows students studying online to introduce themselves and become familiar with other members of the group and/or community. Not only are these icebreakers used as a starter within the first
weeks of study, but they are also used to help motivate students throughout the course. Highlighted in this paper are particular online (virtual) tools that can be used as icebreakers within an online learning environment and help shift the view of isolation associated with learning online
and create a more engaged community of practice with effective learning.

Web Blogs: a powerful tool in classrooms
Critical Evaluation Essay Outline
Introduction
Presenting the Subject: Literacy in its simplest form can be defined as “the ability to read simple passages of printed text and sign one's name” (Levine, 2003). Yet, in the 21st century with the development of information and technology, there is a big debate if literacy can only be limited to the ability to read and write. The debate suggests that literacy should be extended to technology literacy. According to Montgomery school, technology literacy is defined as “the ability of an individual, working independently and with others, to responsibly, appropriately and effectively use technology tools to access, manage, integrate, evaluate, create and communicate information”. Conversely, we should look at how technology can increase the literacy of the individual and facilitate and support the learning process within educational setting?
The fact that the Internet has been increasingly affecting individual’s daily life, the experience of blogs has been part of it. Blogs are one of the best web tools that provide the individual’s to share their ideas and experiences in a daily basis. A blog, or as referred to a weblog, is a “Web publishing tool that allows authors to quickly and easily self-publish text, artwork, links to other blogs or Web sites, and a whole array of other content” (Glencoe, 2005). Blogs are convenient Web sites with navigation and posting features. These posting are mainly in a text form and recently other media (images, and videos) posting were supported. Blogs can be accessed publically and can include people’s comments for any posting.
Thesis: Judgment on the Subject: Teachers choose blogs as the creative form of Internet technology to employ it in their classrooms. Both students and teachers can benefit from the use of “educational blogs” as an effective and powerful tool in their learning process. Educational blogs can be efficient for students as they can be accessed at conveniently any time, in any place with an Internet-enabled computer. Therefore, we believe that using blogs in the classroom can increase student learning through extending classroom boundaries, increasing collaboration and interaction, creating space for discussion and critical thinking.
Body of Argument
Reason One: Enhancing the writing skills
First Criteria. The first reason to support the use of educational blogs in classrooms is enhancing the writing skills”
Support:
· Blogs make a comfortable space where student can write better. Example of student expressing their classroom blogging experience “What I have enjoyed most about blogging is that even though we have certain topics to expand upon, I can post my own thoughts and feelings in a relaxed environment. As I have already stated in a previous blog, being in relaxed environment when you write is probably one of the best things for your writing. You can always write how you feel about the desired.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

12. BLOGGING in Education The large and small implications of this new technology Conclusion Solomon’s and Schrum’s article details the global issues pertaining to emerging technologies, their implementation in the market place, and the importance of American educators to implement these Web 2.0 technologies, like Blogs, within the classroom. This provides a clear picture of how the United States is falling behind many other parts of the world on this front. As Solomon and Schrum call for change, Poling and Davis provide change with their examples of how Web 2.0 technology, i.e. Blogging, can be effectively implemented within the school system for not only students, but for teachers as well. Everyone of these authors see the need for change of how the United State educates its students. Davis and Poling implemented change through the Blogging medium. “ We used to talk about reading, writing, and arithmetic as the essential skills for literacy. To be literate today involves acquiring new skills, including those of technology, understanding science, having global awareness, and most important, having the ability to keep learning.” (Solomon & Schrum 2007 p.20) Blogging provides a starting point for the necessities of literacy today.
