Webinar - Media Mentors: Helping Children Build Literacy Skills for the Digit...TechSoup

With young children gaining access to a dizzying array of games, videos, and other digital media, will they ever learn to read? The answer is yes—if they are surrounded by adults who know how to help and if they are introduced to media designed to promote literacy, instead of undermining it. In short, these children and their families could greatly benefit from a media mentor.
What exactly is a media mentor? Michael Levine and Lisa Guernsey, authors of Tap, Click, Read: Growing Readers in a World of Screens, and Chip Donohue, editor of Family Engagement in the Digital Age: Early Childhood Educators as Media Mentors, discuss this new term in the lexicon of 21st-century early childhood education. Media mentors can help children grow into strong, passionate readers who are skilled at using media and technology of all kinds—print, digital, and everything in between. What skills do media mentors need? How can they be supported? And how can more children gain access to them? Michael, Lisa, and Chip lead a discussion that explores the importance of these new roles.
Information Technology Revolution & it's Pro's & Con's.pptxWAHAJNaveed
In this slide we discussed about the Information Technology Revolution and the pros and cons. This is an Educational Presentation especially for the student of Information technology. you can use this presentation as a reference to you own assignment but please do not exactly copy all the content in this slide. You can also share your slide on any platform on the internet so that many students could be facilitated. My Presentation on information technology revolution went very good and I hope you can also perform confidently.
Technology can be used in a variety of ways that make it accessible to everyone on Earth. let's make it loveable & helpful together.
The WYRED (netWorked Youth Research for Empowerment in the Digital society) project has celebrated its fifth face-to-face meeting in Istanbul (Turkey) from November 19th – 21st. This represents the work done in WP7 Evaluation by PYE.

This presentation discusses the critical importance of the “Communication for Development” (ComDev) approach in ensuring that the voices of all stakeholders are heard in the decision-making process that will be needed in Agricultural Adaptation to Climate Change, but especially illustrates how ComDev can engage those whose livelihoods are most vulnerable and most dependent on natural resource bases. Illustrative examples will be drawn especially from Small Island Developing States (SIDS) in the Caribbean, including the “Voices for CC” initiative in Jamaica as well as best practices in ComDev from RARE Radio in St. Lucia, Toco Radio in Trinidad, among others.
Former and current telecentre.org executive directors present the challenges and opportunities for the telecentre movement in the rapidly changing environment of ICT4D.

Why we should begin working on a global governance system for Artificial Gene...Jerome Glenn
Global Governance of the Transition from Artificial Narrow Intelligence to Artificial General Intelligence may take 10 to 15 years, AND some say AGI could happen with in 10 to 15 years, SO we study how this should or could be done now.

Wireless communication involves the transmission of information over a distance without the help of wires, cables or any other forms of electrical conductors.
Wireless communication is a broad term that incorporates all procedures and forms of connecting and communicating between two or more devices using a wireless signal through wireless communication technologies and devices.
Features of Wireless Communication
The evolution of wireless technology has brought many advancements with its effective features.
The transmitted distance can be anywhere between a few meters (for example, a television's remote control) and thousands of kilometers (for example, radio communication).
Wireless communication can be used for cellular telephony, wireless access to the internet, wireless home networking, and so on.

1. Three Additions
to the Peace Corps
Jerome C. Glenn, CEO
Jerome.Glenn@Millennium-Project.org
2. When the Peace Corps was created,
there was no Internet
Now we have tele-heath, tele-education, tele-
commerce, tele-dating, why not Tele-Peace Corps?
3. 1. Tele-PCVs
• Tele-PCVs would be volunteers in the United States who work remotely
with their host country counterparts.
• Tele-PCVs could also be former PCVs who could be part-time, but now
with additional skills to share with the country they know and love
• If we had such Tele-PCVs before the pandemic, they would have still
been engaged around the world.
• Such tele-PCVs could teach English, science, mathematics, etc. Or
advise on developing and producing export products, teach business
skills, computer coding, collaborate on construction projects.
• Special care in training would be needed for cultural sensitivity,
understanding, and human-to-human engagement for new Tele-PCVs
4. 2. Tech Volunteers
• Just as we have health volunteers, agriculture volunteers, etc., we
could have tech volunteers who help in the leapfrogging approach to
development.
• Where will leapfrogging work and not work?
• What advanced tech would be appropriate?
• In addition to working with host country communities, Tech Volunteers
could also be available to assist PCVs in education, health, agriculture,
community economic development, environment, and youth
development.
• Technological change is rapidly accelerating, that can make the
development gap even wider – the need for leapfrogging is greater
9. Some Other Leapfrog examples
CO2 from fissile fuel power
plants make concrete-like
construction material
Solar power
transportation
Tele-learning
10. 3. Tele-Organizations (businesses,
universities, national research labs)
• A Tech volunteer might need advanced tech support from a
corporation and/or a university research department
• Similarly, a Tele-volunteer working with their host country
counterpart might need to know which tele-learning
programs will work best to teach algebra.
• Tele-PCVs could work with Environmental and Tech
volunteers in country, and tele-organizations to implement
climate change strategies with alternative energy, plant-
based and cell-based meat production, water management,
cap and trade opportunities, carbon capture and reuse.
