Leading Schools with Digital Vision (Memphis Sept 2010)Wesley Fryer
This presentation was shared at the opening keynote at the Martin Institute's Fall 2010 conference in Memphis, Tennessee. Much of the world has gone digital, so must learning at school. Creativity is vital, and good leadership matters. Stagnant, accomodation-level technology integration makes technology investments in our schools a waste of money. School leaders can and should encourage teachers to use digital learning tools in transformative ways to open new doors of opportunity for students as well as parents. By focusing on creating, communicating / sharing, and collaborating, principals can help develop a shared instructional vocabularly with teachers which is focused on student engagement. Without creation, there can be no creativity. How will you let your students create? How will you give students choices? How will your students teach the curriculum? These are essential questions to ask together with teachers, as we seek to effectively (and legally) "talk with media / pictures" and leverage the constructive power of digital media tools for learning inside and outside the classroom.

Bringing Machshavah to Machshevim: A Mindful Approach to Technology in Jewis...forestfortrees
This document discusses the arguments for using technology in Jewish education. It argues that while technology can increase efficiency and possibilities, its use requires a mindful approach. Simply introducing new technologies into classrooms does not guarantee educational benefits. Educators must understand how to leverage technologies to connect lessons to their affordances and avoid "just-so" explanations that technology will automatically improve education. A thoughtful approach is needed to skillfully blend technology with deep understanding, ethical values, and community.

Networking education: Identities & PresenceBonnie Stewart
A practical overview of the roles networked communications and social media can play in education during an era of knowledge abundance, and how to build networked identities and cognitive, teaching, and social presence in digital learning environments.
Beyond Alt-Metrics: Identities & Influence OnlineBonnie Stewart
Open, participatory online learning and scholarship don't necessarily require credentials as the price of admission, but do demand the construction, performance, and curation of intelligible, public, networked identities. Both academia and social networks are, in effect, ‘reputational economies,' but while scholars and educators are increasingly exhorted to go online, those who do often find that their work and efforts may not be visible or understood within institutional contexts. Likewise, as the academic tradition grapples with sea changes in infrastructure and communications, the terms by which scholarship and learning have been defined and legitimized are being unsettled from within. What signals count as credibility among networked educators and learners? What risks and power relations need to be addressed as part of that process?

It's just not the same : mobile information literacyPeter Godwin
This document discusses the changing landscape of information literacy (IL) in the mobile era. It argues that existing IL models are outdated and do not account for mobile devices and social media. It highlights four key areas where mobile IL varies: where people access information, what types of information they seek, how they find and use information, and the time spent. The document also shares the results of a survey of business students which found high adoption of mobile devices for learning. It concludes that IL must be redefined to prepare for ubiquitous mobile information access and use.

Learning in a Changing World: Racing against TimeJudy O'Connell
Are you racing against time to update your capacity to engage with established and emerging technology? This presentation is a discussion starter for the ALIA schools seminar Learning in a Changing World.
A lot of talk about the future of the internet sounds almost hippie-spiritual or faux-philosophical. The Internet is not the same as the world-wide-web. But the Internet-of-Things and the Semantic Web - all parts of Web 3.0, are beginning to be very important to our learning environments. Here is a summary of key features, ranging from access, creativity, and information architecture.
This document discusses the challenges of digital footprints and online identity for young adults. It notes that while young adults are highly engaged with social media, many do not understand how to properly manage their privacy settings or control what personal information becomes publicly available online. The document then examines the issue from three perspectives: an individual student teacher whose photo and story became publicly available online; an educator using blogs and online platforms with students; and professionals grappling with boundaries between personal and professional social media use. It argues that the scale and permanence of digital content online has created new risks and implications that are not well understood or predictable.
This document discusses the impact of technology on education from past to present. It contains several quotes and statements about:
1. How technology has opened up new opportunities for learning and access to knowledge since the late 19th century.
2. The need to teach students 21st century literacies like critical thinking, collaboration and knowledge distribution in addition to traditional literacy skills.
3. The importance of focusing not just on new technologies but also on content, context and social innovation to support more flexible, lifelong and peer-based learning.
Resistance is Futile: The dynamics of the Science CollectiveJudy O'Connell
Educators are increasingly using new media and digital technologies to teach and engage their 21st century students. Reading, writing, gaming, trans-media, immersive worlds, augmented reality, and Web 3.0 are all part of the new digital frontiers. Whether it’s science or science fiction, Alice in Wonderland or Angry Birds, the dynamics of this new information ecology can transform science classroom experiences. Assimilate these ideas, tools and techniques into your ‘collective’ ~ Resistance is futile.

a session given to parents on current trends in technology used for learning and teaching, examples shared from classrooms through video, demos of powerful free learning tools, anticipation of the future, gathered feedback on a new idea Parent Spaces, etc.
Where will current trends take learning?Carol Skyring
This document summarizes Carol Skyring's presentation on emerging trends in learning. She discusses how learning is becoming more social, collaborative, personalized and visual. New tools like social media, virtual worlds, and mobile devices are enabling more personalized and self-directed learning anytime, anywhere through personal learning networks. Future learning will blend virtual and real-world experiences using augmented reality and location-based technologies. Learning management systems are also evolving to incorporate richer media, social features and collaborative capabilities in secure online environments.
This document discusses trends in education and technology that could shape the future. It identifies several technology trends like the rise of mobile devices, virtual and augmented reality, automation, and disintegrated computing. It also examines trends in higher education like the globalization of education, alternative models and certifications, demographic changes, and the role of MOOCs and technology in teaching and research. The document argues that these present choices about priorities like reinvesting in public education, embracing openness and globalization, preparing for automation, and encouraging democratic digital literacy.
The document discusses the transition to the information age and the evolution of information and knowledge consumption and sharing. It notes the rise of technologies like smartphones, social media, ebooks, and how these have changed how people access and distribute information and engage with each other. The document advocates that libraries need to transition from being focused on books and physical media to providing experiences, engagement, and opportunities for both knowledge consumption and creation.

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.
Communicating effectively and consistently with students can help them feel at ease during their learning experience and provide the instructor with a communication trail to track the course's progress. This workshop will take you through constructing an engaging course container to facilitate effective communication.
