The document describes a study that tested a system called Serendipitous Family Stories which allowed users to create and share location-based videos and stories with family members. The goal was to promote intergenerational communication. In a field study, older and younger family members used the system and found it evoked strong memories and emotions. It increased communication in families from texting and liking to phone calls and in-person sharing of family history and stories. The system helped family members engage with the city through learning new perspectives on everyday places from loved ones.

In order to develop a successful mobile application, it is necessary that the experience fits into people’s lives and solves real problems that they face. In Motorola Labs, we often finish exploratory ethnographic work with hundreds of design ideas for new mobile experiences. In order to identify those with the most value, we prototype key components of these ideas and test them with real people in their daily lives. I’ll talk about our strategies for rapid prototyping and field evaluation using examples from our work on the Ambient Mobile Communications program.
This document discusses effective teaching strategies for English language learners. It emphasizes making English relevant and engaging for students by connecting lessons to their interests, sharing the teacher's own passions, and using hands-on activities, stories, music and wider world topics to teach values and language concepts in a memorable way. St. Patrick is given as an example of a teacher who effectively conveyed religious concepts to Irish people by relating them to a shamrock. The document advocates sparking students' curiosity and allowing them to actively participate to enhance cognitive and emotional engagement with English.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
