Autism: Communication Options Using the iPad (Meier, 3/1/13, CSUN Conference)gwendolynmeier
Slide presentation from today's presentation by Gwendolyn Meier at the 28th Annual International Technology and Persons with Disabilities Conference in San Diego, March 1, 2013.
The document appears to be a project from an Ed 4200 class titled "Inclusion Project" created by Mia Casale and Allison Kranich. It discusses accommodating students with special needs, specifically a third grade student named Bryce who struggled in reading and refers to himself as "dumb". The document identifies Bryce's strengths and needs, looks at classroom demands, potential successes with accommodations, and proposes specific accommodations.
This weekly plan outlines the English lessons for 6th grade students from March 5-9, 2012. [1] The lessons focus on practicing the alphabet, classroom language expressions, and greetings/farewells. [2] Activities include singing the alphabet chant, a bingo game to identify letters, role-playing greetings, and classifying formal and informal expressions. [3] Assessment strategies are formative, such as identifying letters and spelling words, as well as summative like an oral and written alphabet test on Friday.
This document discusses strategies for engaging reluctant readers in urban classrooms. It begins by reviewing data that shows achievement gaps in reading proficiency between white, black, and Hispanic students. It then discusses the differences between struggling and reluctant readers, with reluctant readers needing motivation to actually read. The document proposes several strategies to engage reluctant readers, including getting interesting books into students' hands, allowing for differentiated instruction and multimodal learning, providing support for struggling readers, and promoting recreational reading. It suggests that books for reluctant readers have catchy covers, exciting artwork, engaging characters and plots, and themes appealing to teenagers. The goal is to help motivate urban students to read.
The document outlines recommendations for motivating reluctant readers at a school. It discusses assessing individual struggling readers, devising strategies to encourage reading school-wide, and focusing on internal motivation. The five recommendations are to: 1) establish ways for all readers to share books, 2) introduce readers to different authors and genres, 3) provide individual support for reluctant readers in choosing books, 4) give struggling readers challenging reading responsibilities to boost confidence, and 5) use other media to assist struggling readers.
Professional networking online A qualitative study of LinkedIn use in Norway ...Oscar Trimboli
This document summarizes a qualitative study of LinkedIn use in Norway. It examines how Norwegian professionals use LinkedIn as a professional networking tool. The study is based on in-depth interviews with 11 professionals conducted in 2006. Key findings include that professionals use LinkedIn to expand their professional networks, seek information on contacts and companies, and manage connections by establishing new connections, maintaining existing ones, and developing relationships. The document provides context on professional networking, social networking sites, and theories of strong and weak ties as they relate to networking.
This document discusses strategies for helping reluctant readers. It shows that minority students and those in lower grades struggle most with reading proficiency. Differentiation strategies are recommended like allowing extra time or using audio books. Getting books into students' hands is important, with choices that have appealing covers, characters, and plots. Reluctant readers prefer books with role models, problem solving, and realistic themes. Providing choice and discussing books can help motivate reluctant readers.
The document discusses using technology to engage reluctant readers. It notes that reluctant readers are not necessarily poor academics and that some schools are "committing readicide" by failing to engage students. The document advocates using digital tools like Wordle, Glogster, Prezi, book trailers and virtual book clubs to develop story elements, comprehension and motivate students by playing to their strengths with multimedia platforms. It emphasizes teaching copyright and using sources ethically from tools like Creative Commons.

This document provides guidance from experts on creating an independent reading culture in the classroom. It outlines five basic principles:
1. Don't judge students based on their reading choices. Encourage them to read what interests them.
2. Offer a wide range of reading materials in different formats, including ebooks, graphic novels, magazines, audiobooks, and tools to find book recommendations.
3. Provide opportunities for student dialogue about books through book clubs, online discussions, and promoting a reading life both in and out of school.
4. Give students a reading toolkit to build reading skills and stamina, including designated reading time, vocabulary support, and rewards to reinforce reading habits.

Overall, mobile learning creates an accessible new learning environment that motivates students and allows independent practice of English skills.
Rethinking Literacy for All Learners: Reading, Writing, and Communication for...Katie Morrow
This document discusses strategies for using technology to support literacy skills for all learners. It describes how tools like text-to-speech, split screen, reading lists, note taking, dictation, and audio recording in apps like Pages, GarageBand, and iBooks can help with reading, writing, and communication. Specific features and techniques are outlined like using storyboards, back channel conversations, repeated reading, echo reading and study cards. The presenters provide their contact information and encourage attendees to implement these digital literacy strategies.
This document summarizes 11 apps that can engage reluctant readers at various stages of the reading process. It provides the app name, description, reading process fit, suitable student matches, and notes for each app. The apps cover areas like vocabulary, spelling, pronunciation, comprehension, and reading fluency. They are designed for students with needs such as limited reading skills, dyslexia, EAL learners, and attention issues. Visual, auditory, and game-based elements across the apps aim to motivate engagement for reluctant readers.

Library Bus Project - Thesis Work in progressDipti Sonawane
Re-conceptualising the Espoo City Library Bus service for the children of Espoo, Finland in collaboration with LeGroup (Learning Environment Group), Department of Spatial Design, Aalto University and the City Library of Espoo. The bus aims to integrate new media technologies for exciting experiences. The project proposed five themes to revolutionise the library bus service. The bus is scheduled to start operating in 2013.
This document discusses the benefits of using ebooks in the classroom. It notes that ebooks can help support reading instruction strategies by providing a variety of level-appropriate materials. Ebooks offer portability, interactivity, adjustable font sizes, sound capabilities, bookmarking, and versatility. However, there are also potential challenges like lack of student access, lack of standardization across devices, and increasing student screen time. The document provides many ideas for how teachers can incorporate ebooks, such as using them for audio books, author studies, reading assessments, and more. It also mentions the TumbleBookLibrary resource which provides animated, talking picture books.
The document discusses how iPads can benefit special needs and ESL students. It notes that iPads are portable, easy to use, and have built-in accessibility features. They allow students to access curriculum independently using tools like text-to-speech, writing apps, and screen casting. The iPad also enhances collaboration through apps that support activities in areas like intervention, enrichment, assistive technology, and digital literacy. Recommended apps help with skills like reading, translation, articulation, social skills, and life skills. Student testimonials praise how the iPad motivates verbal expression and independent learning.
The document discusses the iPad's potential for assisting students with disabilities. It notes that while the iPad has many accessibility features and apps that could help, determining if it is right for a particular student requires careful consideration of the student's needs, abilities, and the environment. Factors like motor skills, cognitive abilities, and the purpose and support available must be evaluated. The document outlines some of the iPad's accessibility features and examples of apps for communication, academics, autism support, and more. It stresses that technology alone is not a "miracle" and proper planning is needed for effective use.

Proloquo2Go is an augmentative and alternative communication app for iPads that provides 14,000 symbols and supports grammar. The updated version 3 includes new voices, intonation controls, adaptive switch access, and Dropbox backup. In the classroom, teachers can use Proloquo2Go for communication, games, schedules, social stories, and more. It provides engaging, interactive vocabulary to support learning.
The document discusses using Talking Books to improve education in rural areas. Talking Books are affordable audio computers that allow students to listen to recorded textbooks, stories, and lessons. They can also take quizzes and copy recordings. Organizations customize Talking Books by recording content from textbooks and creating interactive lessons and quizzes. The Talking Books are distributed to schools and communities. This increases access to education for students, including those who do not regularly attend school or come from illiterate families. It allows more efficient use of limited teaching resources and helps students learn more effectively both in and outside the classroom.
The document provides guidance on how to teach listening skills. It discusses the importance of developing bottom-up and top-down listening approaches. It also outlines various pre-, while-, and post-listening activities teachers can use, including activating schemata, note-taking, dictation, and discussion. The goal is to help students understand the main ideas, specific details, and inferences from what they hear.
iBooks are eBooks available on iPads and iPhones that have the potential to be used as interactive textbooks in education. Key features of iBooks include being easy to download, manipulate, and search with keywords. Text can be highlighted and notes embedded while tapping brings up dictionary definitions. iBooks could engage students in reading textbooks and other materials independently due to interactivity, embedded media, and note-taking features, though current limitations include limited textbook availability, large file sizes consuming memory, and expense without resale value after use.

This document provides an overview of interactive read-alouds for grades K-3. It defines interactive read-alouds as contexts where students actively listen and respond to oral readings. The purpose is to promote new learning, expose students to different genres and complex texts, and support reader thinking within, beyond, and about the text. The process involves selecting books and objectives, assessing comprehension, modeling the technique, and having students practice developing their own interactive read-alouds.
How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17Celine George
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.
THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
