A new approach to evaluating the mindset of teachers and their professionalism and how it might be evaluated. Taken from a series of 'behaviours in action' rather than a simple list of 'can do' competences, the Paper gives a different approach to describing the confidence of a professional teacher. The use of verbs to describe confidence allows teachers to use their unique circumstances and evidence to demonstrate their professionalism.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Smart implementation plan.docx
1. SMART Solutions:
Implementation Plan
SMART Certified Trainer: Ron Houston Date: 11/23/17
Implementation point-of-view: Technology Integration Specialist
I. Abstract:
As a TIS that supports Gompers, I will work with a grade team and implement lessons that use Smart
Notebook and are interactive. Every grade classroom has a Smartboard and the teachers would like to
have the students interact improving comprehension and collaboration. My goal will be to set up
lessons through the Notebook that do just that. Using such tools as smart labs we will positively impact
student learning. The idea that the content can be customized to the meet the student needs will
enhance the teachers effectiveness.
II. Analyze: Perform a Needs Assessment
Overview: The Analysis phase is the foundational step to a successful implementation plan.
From your analysis, you will design learning goals which allow you to develop the resources
necessary to move your team’s knowledge, skills, and abilities to the next level of expertise with
the SMART Learning Suite.
System Organization:
The school is predominately African American with about 15 percent other. The Principal there is very
supportive of technology and making sure teachers have the tools they need to teach at top capacity.
The idea of being a top achieving school is the goal from the top to the bottom of the school’s culture.
There are Professional Developments scheduled throughout the year that involve interactive teaching to
make sure teachers are armed with the knowledge they need to succeed.
Current State of the organization:
● What is the current state of your SMART Learning Suite Implementation?
● Teacher Rubric
● A google form has been created as a survey in order to assess the skill level and knowledge.
● The teachers know the basics.
● Teachers and administration at Gompers understand the importance of technology
integration and student collaboration using tools that support learning and the digital literacy
curriculum.
● The teachers need to be taught how to use the tools offered by the SMART notebook software in
more of a deep dive learning session.
● I will use the data collected from the above mentioned Google form to drive the PD I provide and
guide the direction of the implementation. I will use the SAMR model by teaching Google Classroom
showing them different ways to use it to impact their teaching and the students learning.
Assumptions and Constraints of your implementation plan:
1 | Page
SMART Global Professional Learning
2. SMART Solutions: Implementation Plan
● One of the reasons I am so excited about this implementation is that the teachers are ready and
willing to learn. They will have no issue with applying what is taught.
● There are some management issues that need to be addressed in the classroom. Strategies will be
covered and used to improve this issue and establish a strong classroom culture.
● Blended learning will be used as I am a huge believer in the results and research surrounding its
prowess. Karen Moore will support as the Smart expert and they do have common prep time/lunch
scheduled.
● Smart Notebook will be the main software we use as well as the Google suite.
● I have access to a number of resources though my office, Educational Technology, and will able to
provide student with hands on, creative, and collaborative experiences in the classroom.
III. Design: Identifying Goals, and Objectives:
Overview:
Once the Needs Assessment is complete and there is an understanding of the organization’s
current state, it is time to determine goals of the future desired state. The goals created during
this step establish a learning gap; our purpose is to create one specific goal and three objectives
for that goal to help achieve our new desired state. Our objectives are meaningful learning
opportunities to bridge that gap and achieve the goal which is the next level of implementation
using the SMART Learning Suite.
● Establish the Learning Gap:
By the completion of the implementation plan, teachers should have a clear understanding of
how to integrate the SMART Learning Suite and additional tools to produce quality lessons,
engage in formative assessment, model specific skills, and enhance classroom interactivity and
collaboration.
Currently teachers at Gompers Academics Plus do not completely understand the SMART
Learning Suite, its capabilities, and how to appropriately integrate it into their current curriculum.
It is important for teachers to receive hands-on learning experiences that will allow for enhanced
interactivity while teaching the basic skills that will allow for critical thinking. Upon learning these
skills, teachers will be encouraged to build engaging learning opportunities that were not
previously possible without the use of the SMART Learning Suite.
Design Instructional Goal:
When designing specific goals think about your learning gap, think about the following items to
guide you towards your goal:
● Consider what your instructional challenge is based from your above analysis.
● Consider why your students are facing this challenge.
● What you would like to see happen by integrating SMART Learning Suite into the instruction.
Design Objectives to achieve your goal:
2 | Page
SMART Global Professional Learning
3. SMART Solutions: Implementation Plan
Objectives help you close and/or bridge the learning gap that you have identified. The goal is
the desired state and the objectives are the stepping stones to reach the desired state. In
relation to your goal, where are your learner’s current abilities? Consider where your learners
need to be at the end of the year. Your objectives focus on how the SMART Learning Suite can
help you close this gap. How will your objectives allow you to get to the desired state?
Goal:
1. To increase and improve the use of technology in the classroom, including the
knowledge and skill of teachers and students.
2. For students to be involved in an interactive style of learning using Smart tools.
3. To use interactive hands on tools like Sphero and Ozobots in order to teach and foster
classroom collaboration.
Objectives for goal one:
● TWBAT use the Smart Board materials in 2 or 3 subject areas.
● TWBAT use Smart Notebook to create interactive Flipcharts subject appropriate
● TWBAT incorporate Smart Software with Blended Learning in order to give students more
intensive teaching targeted to their areas of strengths and weakness and increase the rate of
skill acquisition and progress in all core subject areas .
Objectives for goal Two:
● SWBAT use interactive lessons in a collaborative manner.
● SWBAT will be able to use devices such as chromebooks to enhance learning and
collaboration.
● SWBAT be able to use devices in conjunction with Smart notebook to improve
comprehension.
Objectives for goal Three:
● TWBAT will learn how to code and operate robots to enhance instruction and increase
cooperative learning and student collaboration/communication.
● SWBAT increase engagement in all content areas through the use of engaging hands
on learning activities.
● SWBAT problem solve using high level skills through the use of robots for coding and
other devices.
IV. Develop: Constructing activities to achieve the goal
Overview:
This may be the step that we, as trainers, are used to: Developing the process in which our
learners will gain knowledge, and more importantly, change their behavior because of their new
skill. When developing this process for adult learners, it is important to consider the most

4. SMART Solutions: Implementation Plan
efficient path to make the most impact. Depending upon the learning gap and factors such as
the level of our learners, time factors, or distance between our learning groups, consider various
options in your training and how it would best suit your organization. Is it best to focus on the
whole group at the same time, the various levels of implementation, or subject specific groups to
work together to achieve this goal?
Remember, implementation takes more than one training session, and most likely, more than one
person. Therefore:
● How will you extend or scaffold the learning?
● Can they learn at their own pace?
● Can they learn and practice on-the-job while teaching their own students?
● How can you involve your learner’s students?
● How do you involve your stakeholders?
To maintain a technology-rich environment, the frequency of technology use must be considered.
Your development task is to align your learning objectives above with what type of activity you
will develop to fulfill that objective.
Objective Set One:
Learning activities to fulfill the objective: One activity per objective minimum
● The lab which will include Shout it out tol start each class and the learners will be
involved in creating and using various Smart Labs such as Monster Quiz.
● The class will operate in centers using the Blended Learning model with one being a
Hello Smart setup.
● A student led lesson with the use of the Smart tools will improve achievement with
more collaboration taking place.
● The class will do a coding lesson using the Ozobots in story map.
● The class will do a scavenger hunt using the app Goose Chase set up by the teacher in
advance around the school
● The class will use the Spheros to code and delve into math; touching on angles, velocity,
speed, etc.
Additional Professional Development Opportunities:
As the TIS I will plan regular visits during common preps and grade groups to plan and deliver
Professional Development. There will be a Google classroom set up for teachers to exchange ideas,
lessons, announcements, and any other needed information or resources.
In addition, Karen Moore of Smart Technologies will be invited to provide additional trainings and
supports.
V. Implement: Putting your plan into action
4 | Page
SMART Global Professional Learning
5. SMART Solutions: Implementation Plan
Overview:
It is time for action within the implementation plan. During the actual implementation, don’t
expect everything to go as you have planned. As trainers we all have the abilities to execute this
implementation plan and assign people their tasks and deliver training sessions. In this section,
we will focus on being flexible. If the process starts to go “off track” this does not mean that we
should just stay the course. Time is precious and we want to ensure positive results for this
implementation. Slight adjustments during implementation ensure that we don’t abandon the
plan all together.
How will you ensure that your plan will work?
Through the use of Google classroom surveys using Google forms will be periodically given to keep on
top of our set goals and common understanding. Data will be uploaded to the same Google Classroom
and reviewed in grade group to inform future instruction. The lessons will be developed by the groups at
these meeting with student needs in mind.
VI. Evaluate: Measure the impact made on your goals
Overview:
This step in the implementation process may seem like a final or summative assessment of how
the implementation was carried out, but we also need to think about evaluation in every step of
this model. Continuously monitor and evaluate so you can be ready to adjust the timetable or
rescue the plan from an earlier miscalculation. This plan is intended to encompass one year, and
the evaluation stage is time for reflection and a time to begin considering the Analyze Step again.
Some questions that you may want to think about during the evaluation stage are:
● Did you accomplish your goal?
● What worked?
● What didn’t work?
● Who was most successful with their implementation of the SMART Learning Suite and why?
● When do we start again?
Evaluate your plan: The Conclusion
The plan is sound and provides a gradual way for teachers to increase their skill level when it comes to
technology and how to integrate into classrooms lessons. The students will benefit greatly from the
lessons we created because they will have a model that includes interactive learning and small group
work. Over the course the work and complexity or rigor of the work will increase and the data will show
improvement. The baseline assessment will be how we measure success on both the teacher and
student sides of the implementation.
