Idt Technology In Social Studies
Technology can be used in many ways to enhance social studies learning. It allows students to conduct research online, create multimedia projects, collaborate virtually, and learn about history through interactive software, videos, and more. Some examples given are using cameras to film reenactments or take historical photos, playing educational games to learn about pioneering, and communicating with students in other schools through video chat or messaging. Technology can help students learn dates, people, events, and cultures of the past.

What we talk about when we talk about writing
This document provides guidance on reading, editing, and revising prose. It recommends starting with brainstorming and outlining ideas before writing a first draft. The drafting process involves writing, stepping away, and returning with fresh eyes to continue writing. Revisions should include reading as a reader to evaluate flow, clarity, support, and reasoning from the audience's perspective. The document outlines a multi-step revision process including global and local revisions, as well as seeking feedback and editing for conciseness through cutting or rewriting when needed. Calling a draft complete involves meeting deadlines through two rough drafts and a polished final version.
3D history
Stereoscopes in the 1800s were one of the earliest forms of 3D imaging technology, using two images to create the optical illusion of depth. Later technologies like anaglyph and polarized 3D developed new methods for the human eye to perceive 3D images. To film 3D movies, two cameras mounted together capture scenes from slightly different angles to mimic binocular vision and allow the illusion of 3D when viewed with the proper glasses or display.

Caslis Feb2010
The document discusses the changing role of libraries in a digital world. It argues that libraries should focus on serving end users by addressing their real needs and problems, rather than focusing on technology or library-centric problems. Libraries need to embrace innovation, partner with their communities, and shift away from traditional print-based services to remain relevant. The future of libraries relies on understanding users, engaging them through new experiences, and cultivating learning and interaction both in-person and online.
Connecting People, Places, Things, and Ideas Using Social Media: A Primer
Social Media is not new; however, it is literally everywhere today and it is connecting people, places, things, and ideas. And libraries, for centuries, have acted as conduits to help their communities obtain high-quality information while providing a social space for their users to consume, repurpose, and share content. In this interactive session learn how to enhance library resources and services that exist both online and in physical library spaces by using a variety of social media tools including blogging, mobile technologies (QR codes), microblogging, gaming, social networking, and more. This session will continue on after today so that we can see firsthand some of the new and innovative techniques that others have used to help make their library and its resources more visible while subsequently providing fresh and lasting connections with library users.

https://app.box.com/s/y977uz6bpd3af4qsebv7r9b7s21935vdA Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
