This document discusses the potential of mobile technologies to enhance learning and new pedagogical approaches enabled by mobile devices. It outlines how mobile devices can support [1] construction of knowledge through multimedia, [2] conversation through communication tools, and [3] learner control via sensors and location tools. Challenges include connecting formal and informal learning and managing student devices in schools. New approaches highlighted are seamless learning across contexts, personal inquiry learning using mobile toolkits, and contextual learning through "micro-sites" for field trips.
Banner and Bursar: A match made ... somewhere?F. Tracy Farmer
The document describes the process of transferring library fines and fees from the library system, Voyager, to the university's ERP system, Banner. Initially, the library used the Bursar Transfer System alone but the data it produced was not acceptable. Over time, custom code was developed to reduce the data into a simpler format of patron ID, finance code, term code, and amount. The code also combines charges for the same patron into one line and adds a summary line. The new charge file is then transferred between systems to import the fines and fees into patron accounts.
The document discusses emerging trends in mobile technology and usage. It covers 3 main topics: 1) The human-machine interface is becoming more sophisticated with interfaces that go beyond menus and forms to command line controls for apps. 2) Hardware trends include more open platforms and improvements in areas like mesh networks and power. 3) Understanding user ethnographics is important, as revealed in studies showing preferences for shared/cheap phones and basic needs over high-end features. Simple, low-cost phones still have value even in developed markets.

This document contains review questions covering topics in waves, emission and the Bohr model, electrons, and photon properties. It asks about wavelength, Planck's constant, the speed of light, electron configurations for various elements, filling electron orbitals according to Aufbau principle, converting between units of length and frequency, and using formulas relating energy, Planck's constant, frequency, and wavelength of electromagnetic waves including photons.

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.
This document summarizes the progression of gender bias in women's health care from the 19th century to today. It discusses how 19th century medicine established white men as the norm, viewing women's bodies as abnormal. This led to the widespread diagnosis of "hysteria" in women to explain any mental or physical complaints. The summary then discusses how these outdated views of women persisted into the 20th century through the dismissal of female symptoms as hypochondria rather than real medical issues like heart disease.
Sioux Hot-or-Not: Domain Driven Design (Edwin Van Dillen)siouxhotornot
1) The document discusses domain driven design and introduces domain modeling using a Lego Mindstorms robot as an example.
2) Domain modeling creates a common language to represent the conceptual classes of a problem domain, focusing on the essence rather than realistic details.
3) The domain of the sample robot is explored, identifying its key components like sensors, motors, and CPU that could be represented as classes in a domain model.
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.
This document summarizes several studies on health information seeking online:
1) A 2002 study found 80% of online adults look for health information online, amounting to 110 million people. Most (53%) use search engines to find information across sites.
2) A 2006 study found 80% of online Americans search for health information daily, with 66% starting on search engines like Google. Many feel more confident in decisions after searching.
3) A 2005-2007 Europe-wide study found internet health users increased from 44% to 54%. The growth occurred across all countries. The internet will be important for future healthcare.

The document contains questions and answers about concepts related to gravity, projectiles, and Newton's laws of motion. Some of the key points covered include:
- Satellites need to be above the atmosphere to avoid air resistance.
- The maximum projectile distance is achieved at a 45 degree angle.
- Gravity accelerates objects at 9.8 m/s^2 near Earth's surface.
- Newton's three laws of motion explain forces like inertia, acceleration, and action-reaction pairs between objects in contact.
The document discusses choosing and implementing a content management system (CMS) for a website. It describes evaluating various open source CMS and wiki options based on required and desired features. Options were narrowed down to Drupal, TWiki, WebGUI and MediaWiki, which were installed locally and tested. Staff provided feedback on using each system. Drupal was ultimately selected as the winner for its familiar interface and ease of use. Next steps include expanding functionality, migrating existing content, training staff and launching the new site.
The document discusses findings from research on the effectiveness of educational software and technology in improving student performance and learning outcomes. Several studies found no significant impact of software on reading or math test scores. Effective learning is seen to involve construction of knowledge through problem-solving, conversation, and learner control. Future directions of learning technology include utilizing mobile devices and location-aware apps to support contextualized, collaborative, and lifelong learning.
The document discusses the Balance Scorecard performance measurement system. It provides an overview of key financial and non-financial measures used across four perspectives: financial, customer, internal business processes, and learning and growth. Specific goals, measures, and advantages of the Balance Scorecard approach are outlined for each perspective. The Balance Scorecard is presented as a strategic management tool that translates organizational vision into measurable objectives.

Sioux Hot-or-Not: The future of Linux (Alan Cox)siouxhotornot
Alan Cox discusses how various technological and business trends will influence the future development of Linux. Hardware is evolving towards multi-core processors and more dynamic configuration. Software priorities are changing due to demands for security, power management, and real-time performance. Legal issues and business needs will also impact Linux's continued evolution.
