Self-Advocacy, Autism, and Linux: Finding My Own PathSpencer Hunley
This was a presentation I gave on Friday April 11th, 2014 for a few middle school classes about my experience as an autistic individual, discussing passionate questions and self-advocacy.
One of the greatest challenges facing the Linux community is accessibility. Unfortunately, the involvement of those most affected by this - people with disabilities - is meager at best. This presentation will discuss the benefits that the disability community can provide, and why accessibility is essential to the survival of Linux in the future. During this presentation, I will touch upon the following: the state of accessibility in Linux; the 'confinement cycle', and how Linux can be used to break it; ways to improve accessibility (and why this is important); and how the disability community can bring benefits to the Linux community.
Audience: beginners to experts, especially those with disabilities and/or anyone interested in accessibility. Rudimentary knowledge of assistive technology is recommended but not required.
These slides showcase our total condition based monitoring approach to asset management in Power Generation, Transmission and Distribution. Visit us at QualitrolCorp.com to see more.

Learn how to be a considerate and respectful autistic ally. Come join this session and learn about the Autistic Self Advocacy Network, a national 501(c)(3) nonprofit advocacy organization run by and for individuals on the autism spectrum. ASAN-KC members will talk about disability, neurodiversity, self-determination and self-advocacy, as well as discuss issues that are important to the autistic community. This short presentation and following town hall format discussion is open to all participants.
Assembling Accessibility: Using Open-Source Hardware and Software to improve the lives of people with disabilities
One of the significant challenges facing the open-source community - as well as Kansas City itself - is accessibility. This presentation will explore the usage of open-source hardware and software to provide better accessibility and decreased cost of assistive technology for people with disabilities.
Breaking The Confinement Cycle Using LinuxSpencer Hunley
This presentation discusses current accessibility and assistive technology (AT) in Linux, what's working and not working, and what needs to be done to improve accessibility and the AT applications in Linux. Furthermore, it will also cover my personal efforts with others to create an automated home using open-source software, microcontroller boards and wireless connections.

Below are two student post, In your responses, offer suggestions for addressing the challenges they identified.
Describe how diversity and multiculturalism are approached in your educational setting.
The way that my school approaches diversity and multiculturalism is very unique compare to all the schools on our island. We are very open and welcome a lot of foreign students that come from different parts of Asia, such as, Japan, South Korea, China, Vietnam, Philippines, and Taiwan. Throughout the school year, we host a lot of foreign exchange students. We would pair them with our local students and they will be shadowing them in all their classes. Then, towards the end of the day, our students will have a presentation for them on what kind of culture we have here in Guam and in return they would do the same. It is a lot of work for our faculty and staff, however we really see how beneficial it is for the students during these exchange activities. In addition to that, our school has an activity called “International Week” where each class will choose international countries and will have to learn everything about there culture from the way they dress, their history, and what type of food they eat. On top of that, on the last day of the week, they would try to decorate their classrooms as close as they can get to their country and prepare their famous dishes for the judges to try. I really believe that our school is very accepting and by doing these activities helps our students have a better understanding on who they are sitting with in the classroom.
What benefits can you identify in implementing a multicultural approach to curriculum, instruction, and assessment in your setting?
There are a few benefits that I can identify in implementing a multicultural approach in our school. The first thing I can identify is that it really brings unity among our students. But I also will be the first to admit that not all of them are buying into the culture that we are trying to create in our school. But we are very optimistic that one they will be able to understand what we are trying to do for them. By having these foreign exchange students in our school and having a school wide activity helps our local kids understand more about our Asian students here in our school. By understanding them, our local students can make them feel at home and not make them feel left out in the classroom. The second benefit I see happening is that it also gives our teachers an idea as to which style of teaching strategy they can use to help better communicate with our students. It assists our teachers to connect with them and create a level of trust that leads to better communication with each students.
What challenges do you foresee in implementing a multicultural approach to curriculum, instruction, and assessment in your setting?
The one challenge that I see that we come across when implementing a multicultural approach i ...
Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.

Newsletter For American School
1. Dear Parents and Students,
In this issue of our new newsletter, we’d like to share special
moments from our first academic term at GHAIS. We have
included snapshots of precious moments that we deeply
enjoyed and wish to share with you and community. This is why
we have called our newsletter “In JOY.” We hope you will enjoy
every bit of it. We believe that showcasing those precious
moments of school life keeps them alive in our minds and carved
in our hearts forever.
We aim to capture that unique buzz about school life, familiar to
students of all ages. New students come in every year and other
students graduate to move on with their college and their future
careers. No matter how much we grumble and moan about
school, deep down in our hearts we certainly know that school
time will always be the best time of our life EVER. These are the
years of insight, learning and devotion. We realize that once we
leave the school’s care as young adults, we will be pretty much
on our own to trek down the path of wisdom to get ourselves
through the ups and downs of the world outside school.
You will find two sections that showcase these very precious
moments of your school time in the first trimester. The first section
highlights school activities with a special focus on academic
achievements. The second section centers around those
uniquely cool moments of student life. So, indulge and “In JOY.”

Dr. Nahla Nadeem

2. 6th of October Celebration
Such a remarkable national
event was fantastically
celebrated at our school. We
held an uplifting ceremony for
the whole school celebrating
the 6th of October. The cer-
emony included an inspira-
tional speech by Mr. Ragab
Younis. Tala from Grade 11
recited a beautiful poem. After-
wards, the P.E staff prepared a
fantastic re-enactment of the 6Th of October War. The whole school staff and
students joined together to sing patriotic songs. Everybody chanted with them in
melody and cheer.
GHAIS held an extraordinary hajj festival that
was both spiritual and exciting. Students
actively participated in carrying out the
rituals of Hajj while repeating “Labayka Alla-
huma Labayk.” An inspiring sermon was
given by Mr. Ragab and Mr. Ramy. At the end of the event, students sang reviv-
ing and uplifting Islamic songs.

3. In the “Speak English” campaign, students
found encouragement to speak English
from all directions. Fun times were had by
all in the break as English teachers had
students playing games where they had to
speak and read English. Music teachers,
along with special help from Mrs. Sharon,
led students in singing songs in English. PE
and activity teachers had students playing
games and doing different activities in Eng-
lish. Also, all around the school students see
posters featuring their fellow classmates
boosting their confidence in speaking
English.
Speak English Campaign
Sponsor a School Project
Last year we launched our ‘Sponsor a
School’ project. We decided to sponsor
a government school in the district and
supply students’ needs at that school.
We found Hoda Shaarawy School in the
First Settlement to be in dire need of
clothing for some of its needy students.
At first, the exact needs were deter-
mined by visiting the school and getting
information from the school’s social
worker. Then, students all over GHIS
joined their efforts to raise the neces-
sary funds. This involved two successful
garage sales and collecting donations.
Our students also participated in the
packing and delivery of shoes and pullo-
vers to 70 needy students.
Blanket Campaign
It has been a GHIS tradition to distribute
blankets for the last couple of years. This
WE ARE ONE
year is no different. We joined efforts
with Dar El Orman and it was a great
success, we were able to donate over
23,000 L.E (over 500 blankets). The
school organised a trip for 21 high
school students to help in the distribu-
tion of these blankets at a remote
village (Ellam) in Fayoum. It was a long
and exhausting trip but it was worth
the effort!

STEM Education is the integration of
Science, Technology, Engineering and
Mathematics (STEM) in one extended
project. This new project approach was
adopted in mid and high school during
the first trimester. It allows the students to
create their own masterpiece work in
science, understand how to work in
groups, and most importantly, to see the
link between science and its real life
applications in math, technology, and
engineering. Green Height’s students
worked hard on their STEM projects and
managed to assemble a vast collection
of project ideas that range from physics
to biology, chemistry and even sociol-

Elections
Spirit Week Themes
Originating from the school’s belief that
democracy is the foundational aspect
of any successful institution, the school
held its annual Student Union elections.
Creativity, originality and vision were
obvious in the speeches delivered by
the nominees to ensure a place for them-
selves in the Student Union. As a result of
this healthy democratic atmosphere,
the school successfully elected this
year’s Student Council representatives.

6. School Trips to
Kidzania, Sokhna and Sitara
Our first trip this trimester for Elementary
students was to Kidzania. Students were
overjoyed by the opportunity to play
adults’ roles in different careers and to
face real life experiences while having
fun playing together, getting their pass-
port, eating and filling up their credit
cards with Kidzos.
On the 27th of November, our
students went on an amusing trip to
Al Ain Al Sokhna. From the beach &
beautiful Red Sea to the pleasant
pools, they had a surely pleasant
trip, with an unsurprising load of posi-
tive feedback. It really was an amaz-
ing trip!
There is nothing more fun than attending
a live drama show and being part of the
performance at times. Grades 1 and 2
had a wonderful time attending “The
Gruffalo”.
AinSokhna Trip
Sitara Trip
Grade 6 students had a very spe-
cial field trip to Akhbar El Youm
Newspaper headquarters in
December. Students discovered the
underlying treasures of the world of
publishing in a quest to answer their
project’s big question “Will tradi-
tional publishing replace
e-publishing in the near future?”
Students came back with all inter-
view questions answered and with
deep knowledge about the media
and publishing career.
