The document contains excerpts from various sources discussing topics like autism, communication difficulties, uniqueness, and bookcrossing. It begins with descriptions of rain and sounds, then discusses challenges with social interaction for those with Asperger's. Later passages talk about frustration with not being able to communicate verbally, using children's literature to teach about diversity, and registering books for bookcrossing to share with others. The overall document touches on themes of individual differences, understanding challenges with communication, and sharing knowledge.
Fairy Oak: A dazzling world of fantasy and adventure.Alberto Crippa
Fairy Oak it's a narrative work in 7 volumes.
The books chronicle the adventures of the adolescent twins Vanilla and Lavender. To save their people, menaced by a cruel enemy, they go on a long journey deep into the labyrinths of their powers. Since the girls are very young, at first lots of things go wrong. Some are frightening. In short, it’s not going to be easy at all!
Widely published in Europe and Latin America each of the seven novel has become a bestseller.
This document summarizes research on how students create and observe avatars of themselves in the virtual world of Second Life. Most students chose avatars that matched their real gender and race. Some used their avatars to experiment with different physical appearances or genders. Through writing reflections on their avatar experiences, many students gained new perspectives on how they present themselves and issues of body image standards. While most obeyed social norms in avatar design, the experience did encourage some metacognition about self-image and identity.
This document describes several international professional development programs for teachers:
1) ILEP and TEA programs that provide education courses, workshops, teaching practicums, and cultural activities for international secondary teachers at U.S. universities.
2) The Teachers for Global Classrooms program that trains U.S. teachers to develop globalized curricula and share knowledge with their school communities.
3) Program activities include an online course, symposia, and international field experiences to help teachers build global competencies and integrate global learning.
4) Suggested essential questions for global education that connect to class disciplines, identify assumptions, and tools for student research.
This document provides a recipe for pickled beets and eggs. The recipe calls for 2 dozen eggs, 2 jars of pickled beets with juice, 2 tsp of salt, and 8 cloves. The eggs are placed in canning jars and topped with a brine made from combining beet juice, vinegar, sugar, salt, and spices. The jars are refrigerated for at least 3 days to allow the eggs to take on a purple color from the beet brine. The result is eggs with a beautiful contrast of purple and yellow colors that make an interesting snack or party dish.

The document discusses challenges in developing reading skills for college-level work. It notes that (1) not enough reading strategies are being taught, so students are losing momentum in readiness. (2) Performance on complex texts best differentiates between those prepared for college versus those who are not, as such texts require sophisticated reading skills. (3) A complex text contains multiple layers of meaning not obvious on a single reading, requiring skills to unlock meaning.

Serendipity: social mobility across social networks and networked digital tec...Alexia Maddox
Paper for: Theorising Digital Society 2015, Uni Canberra
Drawing from mixed-methods research into the Herper community (Maddox, 2015), this paper explores experiences and moments of serendipity to illustrate how the imbrication of networked digital technologies and social networks reconfigure avenues for social mobility. In 1973 Mark Granovetter proposed the timeless hypothesis that forms of social mobility, such as getting a job, were facilitated through ‘the strength of weak ties’. This lateral social process, revealed through a relational understanding of social networks, brought into focus how relationships may lever opportunities across trenchant forms of social stratification such as class relations. Networked digital technologies have transformed how weak-tie acquaintances are formed and maintained and reconfigured notions of social order to resemble ‘small worlds’ rather than the hierarchical organisation of the nation-state. This paper provides examples from the case study community to explore experiences of serendipity as a way to understand how such instances of luck, chance and opportunity are hard-wired into the open social structures of digital community.
Microaggressive Scripps: A Place Commentaryspark4389
This document discusses a student's commentary on microaggressions at Scripps College. It begins by providing context about diversity initiatives at Scripps and the student's motivation to analyze representations of diversity. It then analyzes how the college's virtual representations of the Student Center of Color and the general student lounge portray very different places through their depictions of race and space. The student raises questions about how spaces reveal themselves as raced and how the college's narrative erases students of color. The document discusses theories of power and place and how digital media can be used for political activism. It provides examples of microaggressions submitted to the student's tumblr site around themes of race, class, ability, gender, and intersection

This document discusses personal learning networks (PLNs) and how they are changing learning and education. It provides three key points:
1. PLNs allow learning to become more collaborative, as people can get feedback and advice by sharing their work online with others. This sharing and feedback is becoming a major part of the learning process.
2. Learning is now happening anytime, anywhere, and potentially involving anyone through online networks. Teachers' roles are expanding beyond the classroom as they also participate in online networks.
3. Developing a PLN involves curating information from multiple sources, managing connections with others, and leveraging transparency and diversity in networks to facilitate new types of collaborative learning.
Against Counteranthropomorphism: The Human Future of EducationJesse Stommel
In Obedience to Authority: An Experimental View, Stanley Milgram coined the term “counteranthropomorphism” — the tendency we have to remove the humanity of people we can’t see. These may be people on the other side of a wall, as in Milgram’s famous (or infamous) experiments, or people mediated by technology in a virtual classroom. Our turn to digital solutionism has frustrated our attempts at imagining a humane future for higher education. The less we understand our tools, the more we are beholden to them. The more we imagine our tools as transparent or invisible, the less able we are to take ownership of them. It is essential that we consider our tools carefully and critically—that we empty all our LEGOs onto the table and sift through them before we start building. Some tools are decidedly less innocuous than others. And some tools can never be hacked to good use. Remote proctoring tools can’t ensure that students will not cheat. Turnitin won’t make students better writers. The LMS can’t ensure that students will learn. All will, however, ensure that students feel more thoroughly policed. All will ensure that students (and teachers) are more compliant.
Ultimately, the future of education is humans not tools, and our efforts at hacking, forking, and remixing education should all be aimed at making and guarding space for students and teachers. If there is a better sort of mechanism that we need for the work of digital pedagogy, it is a machine, an algorithm, a platform tuned not for delivering and assessing content, but for helping all of us listen better to students. But we can’t get to a place of listening to students if they don’t show up to the conversation because we’ve already excluded their voice in advance by creating environments hostile to them and their work.
The document discusses how libraries can build community both inside their physical spaces and online. It provides several quotes from librarians about the importance of human interaction, social networks, and engaging with communities in new ways. The document also highlights survey results finding that while people still use libraries for books, they also see them as places for socializing and community involvement.
Fresh Connections is a fresh food manufacturer facing short-term cash flow issues and long-term strategic challenges after one year of operations. It is recommended that Fresh Connections accept a large co-op client order to alleviate immediate liquidity problems. The company also takes on high financial risk due to its refund policy for clients cancelling R&D projects. Fresh Connections must refine these contracts. Operationally, issues like inaccurate inventory records and a lack of standard processes reduce efficiency. The company should implement inventory management software and standardize procedures. Strategically, Fresh Connections relies heavily on a few large clients in a stagnating

ARE 494 Digital Ethnography Madeline LeBarron mlebarron
Digital ethnography involves studying human culture through digital spaces like virtual worlds. The presenter conducted research in the virtual world Second Life to understand human behavior and interactions. Some key findings were that the anonymity of avatars allows people to behave differently without biases like racism or sexism. Additionally, comparative analysis with another study found that Second Life can be used effectively for teaching by promoting multi-literacy skills and motivating students through game-like environments. The presenter concluded their research experience in Second Life provided insights into digital culture and creativity.
This document describes a collaborative creative writing workshop for Year 8 students from 4 inner city schools. Key aspects include:
- 32 students worked in groups of 4 on a common story scenario from different character perspectives.
- Students provided peer feedback, edited each other's work, and published their stories as iBooks.
- Surveys found students improved writing skills and enjoyed collaborating, though faced some challenges coordinating stories and contributions.
- Suggested improvements include more conflict resolution training, alternative plot structures, increased peer feedback, and addressing technology barriers to publishing. The workshop aimed to enhance writing skills through collaboration.
The document discusses the changing landscape of education and the classroom of the future. It notes that there is more access to information than ever before through technology, which is both an opportunity and disruption for schools. It argues that schools need to rethink how they approach literacy, community, the role of teachers, and experimentation in order to better prepare students. Flexible thinking and lifelong learning are emphasized over standardized tests and rigid structures.
The document provides an envisioned outline for a comprehensive code of conduct for a company. It begins with an opening message from CEOs stating the company's vision. It includes policies already created on gifting and social media use. The outline also lists standard policies around conflicts of interest, non-discrimination, substance abuse, violence, confidentiality, sexual harassment, data protection, dress code, and environmental protection. The code of conduct aims to establish guidelines for appropriate and legal employee behavior.
This document proposes an online virtual educational world called FUNIVERSE that aims to increase student motivation by making learning more interactive, social, and fun. It would connect universities worldwide and provide opportunities such as accessing library resources, taking various courses, participating in open days and competitions. Students and professors interviewed expressed support for the idea, believing it could help students make better university choices and stay engaged through a more interesting learning environment. The founders also interviewed Google co-founder Sergey Brin to get his perspective on developing educational technologies and using fun in the workplace.
The document summarizes the 2011 DEECD Innovation Showcase event which was held on May 13th at the Melbourne Convention Centre. It featured forward-thinking practitioners from Victoria who shared innovations making a difference in their educational settings. A few examples of innovations presented included the use of point-of-view cameras by Indigenous students, engaging students through tools like wikis and blogs, using video conferencing to provide access to students in isolated areas, and utilizing virtual worlds programs. The closing session of the event was described as colorful, exciting, inspiring, emotional, hilarious and life changing.

How Can We Use Virtual Worlds in Education?Lucy Barrow
The presentation is a basic introduction for teachers to show them the different tools and features that are available for use with their students as part of our OpenSim Virtual Worlds Project, Begonia Island.
This document proposes creating a private virtual world for a school community using the OpenSim platform hosted by ReactionGrid. Students would join a project team to help build the virtual space, learning skills like 3D modeling and object creation. The goals are to promote creativity, showcase student work, and allow new ways for students and teachers to interact. The initial costs are about $1500 for setup and $1350 for annual maintenance. Students would help build areas for subjects like maths and science as well as social spaces. Teachers would be trained to use the virtual world for teaching.

ICT Professional Learning Teams IntroductionLucy Barrow
This slideshow is an introduction to our new ICT Professional Learning Teams Project. It is designed to "get staff thinking" about why they are participating in the project.
This slideshow accompanies Albert and Jayden's original composition, Harper's Escape, a beautiful piece illustrating a scene from the novel, Thursday's Child.
This document describes 3 mini-games created based on the book "The Tin Horse" by Janette Turner Hospital. The first game has the player help Tin escape after getting buried in a mudslide. The second has the player guide Tin through a maze to rescue Caffy who fell down a well. The third puts the player as Harper trying to escape from Tin in an underground labyrinth. Each game includes visuals of characters, objects, and quotes from the book to connect it to the story.

Sam then shared this presentation with others, explaining how she used spare moments to prepare her project. She hoped people would find her planning process interesting and enjoy the presentation.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

“Bring me a sunset in a cup
Golden liquid, shimmering liquid
Liquid sky that was there when time started
Golden rays of light that still stand
Strong as ever since the beginning of
eternity”
12. English Quest - Poetry
“The only ghost I ever saw,
Was a man knocking on my door,
A downhearted traveller, hungry and sick,
He looked poorly, his name was Mick,
I let him inside,
And to boost my pride,
He was healthy again in the morning”
13. English Quest – Responding to a Text
“I feel that I can relate to the experience that the
character is having. I feel sad that, as it seems, her
only friend is an adult and she thinks that she does
not have any other friends.
I would want to know what the people in her
"communities" are like, as in why does she not get
along with them?
I think she felt lonely and sad.
At my old school I was in the same situation and
felt the same way she would now. I was bullied
because I was different and I did not enjoy the
things they did.”
14. English Quest – Responding to a Text
Reviewer Comments and Feedback
“Your responses are thoughtful and well written.
They show that you have empathy for the Atlantian
teenager in the story. This is an important quality to
possess and, sometimes, as unfortunate as it may
seem at the time, negative personal experiences
often build empathy within individuals towards
others in similar situations.
Congratulations! Your Quest response has been
approved, to be passed onto the Council! You will
be rewarded for your excellent work!”
15. English Quest – Responding to a Text
“i have felt like this character did when i am around
one of my many friends I have to act cool and do
things i don't want to do or all my friends will just
ditch me and I will become a weird person
according to them But I have a friend from my
school whose name is *** and I can act like myself
around him because he is one of those cool
people who makes me happy without trying.
He is also very popular.”
