This document discusses guidance for using eBooks in early childhood education. It addresses what technology means in this context, developmentally appropriate practices, and benefits of eBooks. While an older study showed that children using eReaders engaged less with story content, the moral is that eBooks don't need to be solitary - who reads with a child is as important as what they read. The document concludes with a quote emphasizing listening to and learning from children.

Guidance
The document describes two instances of guidance with children at a daycare center.
In the first instance, the observer sees a child, Kairo, repeatedly taking off his mittens outside in cold weather. The observer uses modeling and positive language to explain to Kairo that wearing mittens will keep his hands warm. Kairo responds positively by putting his mittens back on with some help.
In the second instance, the observer sees two children, Luna and Anniyah, fighting over a doll. The observer gets down to their level, speaks to them gently, and has Anniyah give the doll back to Luna since she had it first. The observer then gives Anniyah another doll

The children "N" and "A" were engaged in pretend play in the dramatic play area. "N" told "A" that she had to be the child while "N" was the mom. When "A" tried to serve her own pretend food, "N" removed it from the table and said only her food was allowed. This upset "A" and she started crying. The context of the problem was that "N" often tries to dominate other children during play.

During my first field placement, I competed personal training with a recreationally active client. This assignment is to show my exercise prescription abilities as a kinesiology student.
Final 3rd semister log 3 ecep 211 log template (8).doc-shila (1)
The document describes a reflective practice guidance log from an early childhood educator. In the log, the educator observes two preschoolers, J and O, arguing over which color dishes to use during play. J wants only red dishes while O wants to also use yellow dishes. When J removes the yellow dish O placed, O becomes upset and cries.
The educator chooses to use active listening as the guidance strategy. Through active listening and questions, the educator helps O recognize that she does not have to do what J says and can make her own choices. O then returns to play with J and asserts that she also wants to use the yellow dishes. J accepts O's decision and they continue playing together.
Guidance log template one
The document describes a situation where a 22-month-old boy, Tommy, was taking food from other children's plates during snack time, upsetting the other children. The guidance strategy chosen was giving Tommy a choice - he could either trade snacks with other children who wanted what he had, or continue taking snacks without permission. The caregiver would explain this to Tommy, instruct him to try asking children if they wanted to trade, and provide extra snacks as an alternative for children to trade rather than taking from others.
Guidance log[1]
The document describes three observations of children's behaviors and the guidance strategies chosen to address them. For the first observation of a resistant sleeper, the strategy of ignoring the behavior while soothing the child was used, and the child eventually fell asleep. In the second observation of possessive behavior, re-direction was used to explain sharing and have the children take turns with the toy. For the third observation of a fussy eater, the choice strategy was used to give the child flexibility in choosing what to eat rather than pressuring them.
Portfolio: Powerful tool to assess young children's learning
Portfolio is an appropriate assessment utilized in early childhood education. It constructs a big picture of children's growth, development and achievement by collecting evidence over time.
Complete curriculum assignment
The document summarizes an observation of children ages 3-4 playing with blocks at the Centennial College ECE Centre. During the observation, a child named IS asked the observer to help build a tall block tower. Several children worked together to build the tower, which fell over. Some children expressed disappointment but agreed to build another tower. The observer noted developmental cues like the children's use of palmer grasp and ability to handle changes with control when the tower fell.

Understanding Digital Kids (DKs): Technology & Learning in the New Digital Landscape
," an article regarding learning today:
Recently, there were two recent cover stories in Time Magazine: Their conclusion was that children today are different. In fact, based on what we now know from the neurosciences and psychological sciences, what we’re now beginning to understand is that children today are FUNDAMENTALLY different than we are in the way they think, in the way they access, absorb, interpret, process and use information, and in the way they view, interact, and communicate in the modern world because of their experiences with digital technologies. If this is the case, it holds profound implications for all of us personally and professionally (Jukes, 2008, p. 14).
Reflect on this selection and respond to the following questions:
What are your thoughts on this statement?
Do you feel today’s learner has a different way of learning than in the past? Defend your position.

unpacking detox -the why
The document discusses the idea of "detoxing" or learning to learn through a natural process of noticing, dreaming, connecting, and doing. It describes experiments with self-directed learning models that focus on the learning process rather than compulsory content. Key findings include that most people are not sure how to learn without direction, but that providing learners with choice in what, when, how, and with whom they learn can empower life-long learning beyond standardized measures.
Raising Kids in a Digital World 2016
This document discusses raising children in a digital world and managing their media use. It notes that children's prefrontal cortex, which controls impulses, is not fully developed. As a result, parents need to set boundaries for children's media access and use. The document provides tips on setting limits for screen time, social media and app use based on a child's age. It also discusses the importance of media literacy and promoting non-screen activities for children.
Montesori inspired junior mba
The document discusses the benefits of play-based and hands-on learning for children. It notes that play allows children to transform everyday objects, helps them learn through doing rather than just seeing or hearing, and can help transform "slow" children. The document also discusses using locally relevant examples and languages when teaching children English and business concepts. Overall it advocates for an education approach that engages children through meaningful activities and helps them make connections between new and old information.
Scaffolding the Research Process
Presentation from Internet Librarian West on strategies for supporting students in the library research process; based on Carol Kuhlthau's model
Technology and the Transformation of Learning
The document discusses technology and its transformation of learning. It notes that computers are multipurpose tools that can be used as productive tools, for information, communication, and entertainment. It also discusses that learning to use these tools requires various literacies and skills. The socio-cultural perspective is that all learning is mediated by tools, both digital and non-digital. However, people must learn to use tools in a transformative way. Professional development for teachers is key, and should involve risk-taking, sharing knowledge, and creating a collaborative culture.
Teens in Libraries
The document discusses perceptions of teenagers and libraries, how adolescent brain development impacts teen behavior, and how libraries can better serve teenage patrons. It notes that teen brains are still developing important functions like planning and impulse control. While libraries and librarians often view teens negatively as disruptive or disrespectful, the document argues this perception does not consider neurological reasons for their behavior. It advocates treating teens with respect and understanding their developmental stage in order to improve relationships between teens and libraries.

The 21st century learner final
The document discusses the needs and characteristics of 21st century learners from a constructivist perspective. It emphasizes that students learn best when actively engaged in exploring and constructing their own knowledge, with guidance from teachers. Teachers should motivate students, provide hands-on learning opportunities, give feedback on mistakes, and teach digital literacy and safety skills to prepare students for online learning environments.

Researchprocess
The document discusses the research process and information literacy. It summarizes Carol Kuhlthau's model of the information search process, which includes formulating questions, searching, sorting information, using information, and synthesizing. It provides strategies teachers and librarians can use to guide students through each stage of the process, such as brainstorming, coaching on source selection, conferencing, and allowing time for reflection. The goal is to develop students' higher-order thinking and evaluation skills rather than just focusing on technological skills.
Cognitivism team6
This document discusses key people and ideas associated with cognitivism. It outlines Noam Chomsky, Jean Piaget, David Merrill, Charles Reigeluth, Roger Schank, and J.M. Scandura as important figures in the development of cognitivism. Piaget's four stages of cognitive development and Merrill's Component Display Theory are explained. Classroom implications with and without technology are provided, focusing on engaging students in cognitive tasks appropriate for their developmental level.
Dina Strasser Keynote Speaking Notes, 2011 THV Summer Institute
The document discusses the author's journey in critically examining the impact of technology on teaching and learning. It describes an experience where the author got too immersed in social media and neglected reading to her daughter, prompting her to reflect more deeply. The author outlines several assumptions she had about technology, including that it is neutral and that multitasking and more information lead to better outcomes. She cites research showing these assumptions are often untrue and that technology can change how our minds work.
Monroe countyschoolsrochesterpart1a
This document summarizes a presentation about technology trends and eBooks in school libraries given by Stephen Abram on April 2, 2012. The presentation discusses how library strategies must change due to rapid technological changes on the internet. It emphasizes that libraries should focus on experiences rather than just transactions, and should be conceptually organized around helping people find answers to their questions through discovery, learning, and knowledge rather than just collections, technology, and buildings. The presentation also discusses new models for libraries, including knowledge portals and commons, and the role of librarians in connecting information, knowledge, and learning.
The Digital Primer
Dr. Kathy Roskos
The shift from print to digital reading devices is changing the early literacy instructional landscape, but we are not quite sure what it all means just yet.
App Developers and the Classroom
The document discusses app developers and their role in the classroom. It provides statistics on the app industry such as the percentage of independent developers, projected app downloads and revenues for 2013, and the number of educational apps available. It notes many educational apps are designed for parents and single child experiences. The document calls for app developers to get involved in creating apps that support education standards, track student usage and progress, and help educators. Developers are encouraged to contact the company to get involved.

Tablets for toddlers
Tablets are increasingly being used by toddlers to read e-books, but there is little research on the educational impact of tablets for very young children. While tablets can increase toddlers' access to reading material, the American Academy of Pediatrics continues to recommend limiting screen time for children under two and co-viewing of screens with parents or caregivers for older toddlers. More research is still needed to understand how interactive tablets may influence toddlers' literacy and language development compared to traditional print books.
Young Children Reading and Writing e-books
Dr. Linda Labbo
Research on reading and writing ebooks suggests that the screen environment can serve as a 3rd literacy teacher for young children - under certain conditions.
Designing and Researching E-books to Support Language & Literacy
Dr. Ofra Korat
We researched the efficacy of e-books we designed for supporting young children’s language and literacy. Children from different levels and in diverse contexts improved their abilities.
E-Books Need Mentors
Lisa Guernsey
As books become adorned with interactive features, and as digital media and games of all kinds are now available at our fingertips, young children are going to need a little guidance. Building a good e-book experience means thinking not only about the technology and the content, but also supporting the adults and older children who are helping children seek, learn and explore in the digital age.
New Media in Storytime
Cen Campbell
Traditional early literacy programming supports the development of early literacy skills, fosters caregiver-child engagement and provides professional recommendations for high-quality, age-appropriate content. Now that books and other literacy-supporting media are available digitally, children’s librarians are applying time-honored librarian skills like curation, evaluation and recommendation to the digital realm.
How Features of Multimodal Stories Improve or Disturb Children’s Learning
Dr. Adriana Bus
App designers came to me complaining of providers who only accept apps when they offer maximal interactivity. Downsides of this common standard may easily overrule the positive sides.
Enriched eBooks
Jessica Wollman
Storia’s enriched eBooks service the primary goal of supporting a child’s literacy development by offering a young reader a deeper level of engagement with eBooks. All enrichment activities were designed and tested with input from teachers and kids, as well as internal and external educational advisors.
DigiTXT: eBooks, iPods and Early Elementary
The University of Akron was awarded funding from the eTech Ohio Commission to create the DigiTXT initiative. DigiTXT aims to increase technology usage among 250 K-2 students, 40 pre-service teachers, and 20 practicing teachers and administrators in Summit County. The initiative will provide shared eBook reading sessions for small groups led by teachers using touchscreen PCs and mobile devices. Participating teachers, administrators, and pre-service teachers will receive professional development and be expected to complete various tasks to support research on effective eBook pedagogy in early literacy education.
Phase III Training
This document outlines a research study on shared eBook reading with vocabulary instruction in elementary classrooms. It will involve 3-4 average ability children reading 4 eBooks over 4 weeks while teaching new vocabulary words. The study aims to engage children in shared reading, teach new words, and assess the effectiveness of shared eBook reading and mobile reading. It provides details on pre-testing vocabulary, doing two readings per week with vocabulary instruction, inviting mobile reading, and submitting weekly lesson plans and time reports.
Phase II Planning
This document provides an agenda and instructions for teachers participating in Phase II of an eBook shared reading program. It outlines that teachers should continue holding two eBook shared reading sessions per week with the same four students from Phase I. Teachers can select eBooks from the Phase II list or choose their own titles. The timeline for Phase II is provided, running from November 7th to December 9th. Teachers are asked to submit weekly time logs and quality ratings for each eBook. The document concludes with reflection questions on teachers' experiences with the eBook shared reading in Phase I.
Observation Sign-Up Process
This document provides information and guidelines for pre-service teachers to sign up for classroom observations. It explains that there are two observation periods with 144 total dates available on a first come, first serve basis. Teachers must sign up using a linked Google spreadsheet. The document outlines expectations for professional dress and behavior during observations. It also provides instructions for checking out and returning cameras to record shared eBook reading sessions, transferring video files, and next steps to access planning materials on the Pre-Service Teachers NING site.
Phase I Planning
This document outlines the planning for Phase I of a literacy program. It discusses collecting student consent forms, setting up equipment like touchscreens and eBooks.

Wound healing PPT
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.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

- 10. OR How should we think about eBooks?
- 11. Consider this study… (I know, it’s an older device.)
- 16. Moral of the story: eBooks don’t have to be an individual activity. Consider who is reading with a child as much as what a child is reading.
- 17. “Please think of the children first. If you ever have anything to do with their entertainment, their food, their toys, their custody, their day or night care, their education – listen to the children, learn about them, learn from them. Think of the children first.” The World According to Mister Rogers
