Examples are given to illustrate each level, from using PowerPoint instead of handwritten notes to remixing and collaborating on student work. Educators are encouraged to consider how technology allows redefining learning processes in transformative ways. Links are provided for additional resources on becoming a remix artist and the impacts of professional learning networks.
The 3 steps for Digital Citizenship Certification in East Central ISD are:
1. All teachers must teach 2 cybersafety lessons to students using approved curriculum.
2. Campus professional staff like teachers and administrators must complete a self-paced online course on digital citizenship.
3. The campus principal must certify on an online form that steps 1 and 2 have been completed by their campus staff. This certification ensures compliance for eRate funding for the upcoming school year.
This document provides information about reinventing technology with instruction including:
1. Links and resources for videos, reflections, and learning more about topics like QR codes, the SAMR model, digital citizenship certification, and remixing as an artist.
2. An example using the SAMR model to categorize different ways technology can be used in a book report assignment from substitution to redefinition.
3. Details on a webquest activity where participants take on roles like teacher, parent, or administrator to analyze digital citizenship scenarios and develop an action plan statement.
Miguel, thank you for sharing this presentation. Digital citizenship is an important topic, and I appreciate you taking the time to explore it with students.
Freedom to Succeed - Dwell in PossibilityMiguel Guhlin
1. The document discusses how technology is changing education, with tablets becoming more prevalent in schools and expected to outnumber computers within 5 years.
2. BYOT/BYOD initiatives are becoming more common, allowing students to use their own devices in school, though this challenges standardization.
3. The concept of a "post-digital school" is introduced, where ubiquitous technology access transforms life, work and learning rather than being a novelty. This requires rethinking policies around device use.
This document contains the presentation slides from a talk on managing mobile devices in schools. Some of the key points covered include:
- Many students now own mobile devices like phones and use them frequently
- Schools are increasingly adopting iPads and allowing BYOD (bring your own device) policies
- Effective strategies discussed include developing a professional learning network using hashtags and feeds, curating and sharing content, facilitating app selection, and managing devices and files.
This document appears to be a presentation about energizing eLearning through Moodle. Some of the key points discussed include: joining an online Moodle user community for support after workshops; designing engaging course spaces using multimedia, interactive tools, and content from outside sources via RSS; and giving careful thought to course planning and activities that can be adapted to Moodle modules. The presentation emphasizes making the most of Moodle's features to create interactive virtual learning environments.

The document discusses the potential for "flipped classroom" approaches to help offset the negative effects of poverty. It describes the challenges facing a student named Corlita who lacks basic resources at home. Key ideas are that flipped classroom approaches allow lectures to be viewed at home while homework is done in class, and that students can use technology or other tools to scaffold their learning and keep track of what they are learning. It asks how flipped classroom approaches could help value the stories from children's life experiences.
This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.
LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
