Understanding, reflecting, designing mobile learning spaces, the classroom of tomorrow - challenges in research and teaching -- a) Emerging problems in the Social Media World b) Yes, we need to educate the Homo Interneticus
This document discusses digital didactical design (DDD), which is designing teaching practices that enable learning using mobile technology. It provides examples of empirical studies using mobile devices in higher education. DDD involves three layers - interactions, design, and conditions - that influence each other. The document proposes designing from teacher-centric to learner-centered practices by establishing clear learning aims and activities, process-based assessment, integrating mobile technology, and fostering social roles and relations. It suggests moving from traditional course-based learning to more open-ended "learning expeditions" and reflecting that teaching is evolving from a routine activity to a design project approach.
The document discusses supportive and hindering factors to sustainable ICT implementation in schools based on a study by Birgit Eickelmann. The study found that factors at the school and classroom (process) levels are most crucial. Schools that succeeded had strong leadership, cooperation with partners, intra-school cooperation, and concepts to adapt to digital trends. Supporting ICT integration required disseminating its learning benefits and linking it to pedagogical aims. Hindering factors included a lack of long-term strategies, over-reliance on individuals, and lack of acceptance from teachers.
Professor Isa Jahnke gave a presentation on digital didactical designs in higher education at the University of Bolzano. She discussed how physical classrooms are merging with digital spaces through student use of mobile devices, creating new "crossaction spaces." She outlined characteristics of learning in this digital age, including students connecting resources, asking online networks questions, and creating and sharing work. She presented examples of didactical designs centered around student production, cooperation, and reflection to support meaningful learning goals. These examples engaged students in research processes, online knowledge sharing, and generating educational content.

It develops from tadpole to frog in 10-12 weeks and lives in various areas of South America.
This document summarizes information about dangerous insects. It discusses venomous hymenoptera like bees, wasps and ants. Their venom can cause allergic reactions ranging from local swelling to anaphylaxis. Poisonous spiders like the black widow, hobo spider and brown recluse are also covered. Their bites can cause pain, swelling, nausea and muscle spasms. Other dangerous insects include caterpillars whose hairs or scales cause skin irritations. The document also notes psychological conditions like entomophobia and delusional parasitosis where people believe they are infested with insects.
Frogs lay several thousand eggs in calm water, which hatch into tadpoles after 21 days. The tadpoles live in the water, feeding on algae and developing tails, until after 6-9 weeks when tiny legs begin to grow and the tadpole transforms into a froglet. Over 12 weeks, the tail shortens and legs become more prominent until metamorphosis is complete and the froglet has transformed into a fully grown adult frog.
The document discusses electricity usage and pricing over time. It shows that electricity usage is lower during nighttime off-peak hours than during daytime peak hours. It also notes that electricity pricing is generally lower during off-peak nighttime hours compared to peak daytime hours.
Insect bites like mosquito and flea bites cause symptoms like itchy lumps and fluid-filled blisters. Immediate first aid includes washing the area, applying a cold compress, and using over-the-counter antihistamines. Animal bites from dogs, cats, and wildlife result in wounds, swelling, pain and may require medical treatment. Snake bites have severe symptoms like swelling, nausea, and rapid pulse and require prompt medical care including immobilizing the bite area and getting antivenom treatment. Human and rabies bites also require immediate medical attention.
Bites and stings from insects or animals can cause infection or poisoning from venom and proper first aid is important. Key priorities for any bite or sting include ensuring safety, removing the casualty from danger, treating wounds to prevent infection, and seeking medical help if needed. For animal bites, deep puncture wounds should be thoroughly cleaned and dressed until medical treatment can be received. Snake bites present additional dangers like breathing problems, and the wound should not be cut or sucked but immobilized until emergency assistance arrives. Insect stings may cause swelling, and a cold compress can help with pain while medical attention is sought for persistent or severe symptoms.

This document summarizes various animal-derived poisons, including snakes, scorpions, bees/wasps, centipedes, lizards, spiders, and ants. It describes the types of venom or toxins produced by each animal, common symptoms of envenomation, and recommended first aid and medical treatment. Autopsy findings related to different animal envenomations are also mentioned. The document emphasizes that traditional or improper first aid methods for snake bites should be avoided and only compression bandages or splints are recommended along with rapid medical care.
This document discusses different types of animal bites and their prevention and treatment. It covers bites from dogs, cats, insects, ticks, snakes and provides guidance on first aid. Key points include applying pressure to stop bleeding from an animal bite, cleaning and protecting the wound, consulting a doctor who can assess risk of infection and provide antibiotics or anti-rabies treatment. It also outlines removing ticks properly and signs of infection to watch for from different bites. Prevention focuses on vaccinating pets, avoiding disturbing animals, and using insect repellent.
Most animals have simple life cycles, being born from their mothers or hatched from eggs. They go through stages as young and adults. Frogs have a more complex cycle, hatching from eggs and spending time as tadpoles with gills under water. They undergo metamorphosis to grow into adults on land with lungs. Their development progresses from eggs to tadpole to froglet and finally adult frog.
This document discusses animal poisons and venoms, focusing on scorpions and snakes found in Libya. It defines the differences between venomous and poisonous animals. It then describes the 9 main species of scorpions found in Libya, noting their geographic distributions and relative toxicity levels. The document outlines the pathophysiology of scorpion envenomation, describing the composition and effects of scorpion venom on the body. It also discusses the clinical manifestations and treatment approaches for scorpion stings of varying severity grades. For snakes, it briefly notes that only about 15% of snake species worldwide are dangerous to humans, and describes the composition and effects of snake venoms.
This document provides information on first aid priorities and treatments for various animal-related injuries. It discusses first aid for bites from animals like dogs and snakes, as well as stings from insects and injuries from marine creatures. For each type of injury, it outlines steps like reassuring the victim, cleaning and dressing wounds, immobilizing injured areas, and seeking further medical help if needed. The goal is to minimize harm until professional medical assistance arrives.
This presentation includes the first aid measures one can provide in case of accidental as well as intentional poisoning in order to minimize the morbidity and mortality in victims with poisoning.
This document summarizes information about animal poisons or venoms, focusing on snakes and scorpions. It describes the composition of different venom types, their mechanisms of toxicity, clinical effects of envenomation, and treatment methods including antivenoms. Snake venom contains various toxins like neurotoxins, hemotoxins, and myotoxins that can cause symptoms like weakness, bleeding, and tissue damage. Scorpion venom primarily contains neurotoxins that affect sodium and calcium channels, leading to adrenergic and cholinergic effects and cardiovascular problems. Treatment involves first aid, antivenom administration, and supportive care.
Two frogs fell into a deep pit and tried to jump out while the other frogs told them they were as good as dead. One frog gave up and died but the other kept jumping until he finally escaped. He was deaf and couldn't hear the other frogs telling him to stop, thinking they were encouraging him the whole time. The story teaches that words have the power of life and death, as encouraging words can lift someone up while destructive words can kill their spirit. The message is to speak life to others through the power of words.
This document summarizes information about animal and insect bites, including rabies, snake bites, and arthropod bites. It describes the epidemiology, transmission, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and management of rabies. It also discusses the toxicology, clinical manifestations, laboratory examination, and hospital and field management of snake bites. Finally, it provides information on hymenoptera (bee) bites, black widow spider bites, including their venom effects, manifestations, and treatment approaches.

The commission aimed to have students learn at their own pace using technology, increase motivation, and prepare them for lifelong learning. It conducted surveys of teachers, increased computer availability, and provided training to improve technology use. The commission also established guidelines for a Teaching Technologies Department and developed learning materials using a multi-step process. It created an online parent-student portal and collaborated with universities on initiatives like one-to-one learning with tablets.
The document outlines the MEF Schools Technology Commission, which was established to better integrate technology into education across MEF Schools from kindergarten through high school. The commission conducted surveys of teachers, increased access to technologies like interactive whiteboards and tablets, provided training to teachers, and developed online portals and learning materials to engage students both inside and outside the classroom. The goal is for students to benefit from technology to learn at their own pace, develop 21st century skills, and continue learning throughout their lives.

I was asked to present a presentation on "How cautious should we be when adopting digital technology in Education?" We should remain very cautious. Even the that which is presented as the best, remains nothing more than content replication.
This presentation was delivered to OCSOA region two in May 2013. The focus was on the role of leadership in helping to transition a K-12 school district to learning and teaching in the 21st Century.
Mobile learning in Cambodia with Grit and KAPEsamng
The document summarizes a presentation about experimental mobile learning projects in Cambodia. It describes a pilot project using tablet devices loaded with educational content and games that resulted in a 52% increase in math test scores compared to a control group. It discusses challenges like limited electricity as well as opportunities to expand the projects through peer learning, video lessons, and collaborating with teachers. The goal is to replicate and improve the model at another school while exploring sustainable funding models.
1. The document discusses strategies for incorporating technology into the classroom in a student-centered way. It contrasts teacher-centered memorization approaches with student-centered approaches that engage students as researchers solving authentic problems.
2. A key part of the student-centered approach is ensuring students develop technological competence by accessing information from multiple sources to solve problems, with the teacher as guide.
3. The document cautions that while incorporating technology is important, it does not replace the teacher and should be implemented gradually with a focus on effective classroom procedures and student motivation. Copyright guidelines for educational use of materials are also reviewed.

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.
2. Our Mission
• We aim to bring mobile
technology to students in rural
Tanzania to increase learning,
reduce the achievement gap and
bridge the digital divide.
• But, we have learned that
hardware alone is not enough.
• We couple mobile technology
with innovative pedagogical
practices to improve the
learning environment as well as
students’ engagement and
achievement.
3. Inquiry Based Learning
• Being told something is not the same as knowing it.
• Teachers lecturing does not necessarily lead to student learning.
• Memorization is not an education – you cannot memorize the
information you need in life.
• Creativity, problem-solving, and critical thinking are the most
important skills we can develop among children.
• Children learn best by doing – by asking and answering
questions they engage with their own learning, and begin to
teach themselves.
4. The SMILE Project
• SMILE is an assessment tool and inquiry maker which
allows students to quickly create own inquiries based on
their own ideas, curriculum and curiosity.
• SMILE runs as an application on smart phones.
• Two versions of SMILE (SMILE ad-hoc and SMILE
Global).
• SMILE ad-hoc can be set up to run on mobile phones in
physical classrooms (off line).
• SMILE Global uses the Internet to connect to other students’
globally.
8. Benefits of SMILE
• Provides a technological platform to promote student-
centered learning
• Creates highly interactive learning environment
• Engages learners in analyzing their own learning
• Allows students to generate, share, and evaluate
multimedia-rich inquiries
• Facilitates evaluation of peer inquiries
• Encourages team collaboration and competition
10. SMILE-Tanzania
• One pilot school in Newala District, which is one of the
poorest and least resourced regions in country.
• As part of the Seeds’-Stanford SMILE project, we
provide notebook computers, one projector, and 25 smart
mobile phones to the school.
• We worked with the school and teachers to run a 10-day
workshop that introduces devices and student-centered
pedagogical practices.
• Project carried out in partnership with Jiamini, a local
NGO.
11. Nangwanda Secondary School
• Nangwanda Secondary School serves ~600 students,
in Form 1-6.
• 73% of Form 4 students fail, of those who pass, all
receive Division IV. (35 pass, 94 fail).
• School ranked 2774/3108 in Tanzania.
• Nangwanda Secondary is representative of many of
the issues teachers and students face in Tanzania.
12. Who are the students?
Sample Group: 139 students from Form 1
Age: 14.4, ranging from 12-18
Males: 71 males (51.1%)
Females: 68 females (48.9%)

Bridging the Digital Divide
18. Student Centered Pedagogies
Encouraging Creativity
We ask students to read stories and write their
own stories.
Mobile Exploration
We ask students to explore mobile devices. We
do not teach them how to use them initially.
This encourages curiosity and discovery.
Team Collaboration and Competition
We encouraged small group work and
organized small group collaborations.
19. Student Centered Pedagogies
Encouraging Question-Making
We ask students to write their own
multiple choice questions.
We run small competitions between
peers to evaluate and rate each
others’ questions. This encourages
self-reflection.
Inquiry is not a pedagogical practice
encouraged in most classrooms in
Tanzania, but with some practice,
students became more creative and
incorporated pictures and drawings
into their questions.
20. Using SMILE to ask questions….
Students compose questions in English and
KiSwahili. They type them into the program.
They solve each others questions.
21. SMILE: Inquiry, Collaboration,
Competition, Responding, and Reflection
• Student inquiry promotes creativity and
thinking.
• Collaboration encourages teamwork and
sharing of ideas during the inquiry process.
• Competition in small groups encourages
students to do their best in group activities.
• Responding to student generated questions
encourages students to review material, and
pushes their thinking.
• Evaluating quality of all questions
encourages reflection of what makes a good
question.
22. Teacher Training
• We ran a series of teacher
training workshops every
afternoon.
• We gave an overview of
laptop computers, email,
mobile devices, SMILE
applications.
• We encourage teachers to
innovate with their use of
technological resources.
23. How did students and teachers respond?
• Teachers were able to take over running
sessions after observing 3 sessions.
• Students able to grasp the mechanical
aspects of the technology, quickly. It took
about 3 sessions for students to feel
comfortable navigating smart phones.
• Students were able to take photos and
videos and add them into their inquiries.
• Teachers were active in coming up with
their own ideas about how to use the
technology in their classrooms.
25. Sample Student Questions
Question:
What is science?
Teacher:
Leads discussion on whether
this is a good question, asks:
is it properly written in
English, is it creative?
26. Follow – Up
• Teachers and Principal have agreed to carry out a
SMILE workshop at least once a week for the next
six months, in different classrooms.
• Stanford will monitor how technology is being used
and how student inquiry improves over time.
• Stanford provides regular email support and support
with any troubleshooting of technology
• One follow-up visit to Tanzania is planned in 6-
months.
27. Takeaways
• SMILE is simple enough to work in under-resourced areas.
• Relatively rapid deployment, even when students have never
touched smart phones.
• Replicable and scalable
• SMILE facilitates a paradigm shift by combining technology
and pedagogy.
• Teachers are willing and able to take it on; teachers have
innovative and creative ways of using technology (video,
capturing tools)
28. Takeaways
• Mobile phones are relatively easy to maintain;
durable in areas with fewer resources.
• Mobile phones are less susceptible to electrical
failure and environmental challenges.
• Relatively cost-effective, when compared to
computer labs.
• 100,000+ free mobile applications from open source
network, easy to target to local needs
29. Looking to the Future
The critical elements needed to incorporate SMILE into
schools:
• Mobile devices: SMILE is highly effective even with a ratio
of one device per three learners.
• Application localization and development (translation and
development).
• Facilitator workshops to train and empower teachers to use
technology.
• Monitoring and evaluation.
• SMILE works best when it is a collaborative effort between
Ministry officials, civil society organizations and universities.
