Academic Libraries as Makerspace: 3D Printing and Knowledge CreationKathlin Ray
As part of an ongoing plan to transform an underutilized science and engineering library into a lively incubator for student-faculty collaboration and innovation, staff at the University of Nevada, Reno decided to launch a bold initiative: build a 3D scanning and printing “makerspace” and make it available to the entire campus. The service has been wildly successful with 3D printers running 24 hours a day. Furthermore, positioning the library as a place that facilitates knowledge creation beyond text based tools and resources has been a game changer. Students are highly motivated to learn new skills in order to take advantage of new technologies (Lynda.com gets heavy use); they experiment and iterate quickly to perfect their designs. Even better, students from engineering are now rubbing elbows with people from fields such as biology, computer science, geology, and even art. Like the printing press and the personal computer, 3-D printers have been hailed as a revolutionary device that will ultimately transform the way the world operates.

Adrift on a Silver Sea: Developing HLF funded digital projects with purpose -...Museums Computer Group
Lucy Yates, Programme Manager, and Chris King, Digital Programmes Producer at the National Maritime Museum present 'Adrift on a Silver Sea: Developing HLF funded digital projects with purpose' at the Museum Computer Group (MCG) Spring Event 2016 - 'Life with Digital Projects' #MCGProjects
An overview of current Augmented Reality (AR) technology and potential future applications in libraries. Researched and presented to 9410: Emerging Technologies in Fall 2012 at the University of Missouri School of Information Science and Learning Technologies (SISLT).
A lecture for the Public Archaeology course at UCL, 3/12/12
Links for all things mentioned are on the penultimate slide, it would mean far more with the text to go with it.
Libraries have been places of discovery and learning for a long time, but they are now taking it a step further, thanks to the makerspace movement, by providing an initial spark for ideas that may grow into an intellectual flame down the road. A makerspace is a collaborative learning environment where people of all ages and with common interests (e.g., science, technology, engineering, arts, and math — STEAM) can meet, socialize and/or collaborate while sharing innovative ideas and learning new skills. People can now visit their local library makerspace and gain hands-on experiences with emerging technologies that they probably do not have access to otherwise. Lifelong learning is a vital component for the continued success of libraries and makerspaces are just another aspect helping to make all this happen. In this webinar,
+ Learn how to create a library makerspace on little to no budget.
+ Discover the process/resources used to maintain an engaging makerspace that will thrive for many years.
+ Understand wholeheartedly that the library makerspace is a perfect place to share emerging technologies with patrons, so that they can become well-informed citizens and responsible users of technology.
+ Gain an appreciation as to what other libraries are doing in this new exciting space.
+ Acquire numerous programming ideas to help foster creativity and learning.
+ Survey the emerging technology landscape for new learning prospects to include in your makerspace.
+ Create a growing “Rolodex” of opportunities for partnerships to help boost your makerspace outreach.
CodeClub - Teaching the young generation programmingSebastian Marek
Code Club is all about connecting talented computer programmers with their local schools and providing them with the materials they need to help kids learn to code. It is a nationwide network of free volunteer-led after-school coding clubs for children aged 9-11. In this talk I will tell you what this is all about and how you can get involved and support this great initiative.
Slides from a workshop series I ran for an undergraduate class at Bath Spa University in November 2012. It would be much more helpful if Slideshare included the notes at the bottom of the presentation, since all the verbal explanation that accompanies the slides (and which is important for understanding the flow of the workshop) is there. And you can't see it.
CSTA2015 Blocks-based Programming: Toolboxes for Many OccasionsJosh Sheldon
An overview of 4 blocks-based programming environments from MIT's Center for Mobile Learning, specifically GameBlox, TaleBlazer, and StarLogo Nova from the Scheller Teacher Education Program & Education Arcade and MIT App Inventor from the eponymous group.
This is a short deck of resources I believe will help the students fo my Politecnico di Milano 1-week workshop after the week is over.
Please feel free to add your own recommendations, but please notice that the conference section is geared towards Italy/Eurozone.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
