This document summarizes a symposium on mobile learning through the North Carolina Virtual Public School (NCVPS) Mobile eLearning Center (eLC). It included opening remarks, demonstrations of teaching with text messages and a sample mobile SAT prep course, breakout discussions on using mobile apps on different smartphone platforms, and presentations on the history and anatomy of mobile lessons. Attendees learned about the NCVPS mobile learning pilot program and resources available through the mobile repository. The symposium provided an overview of turning passive online resources into active mobile lessons that engage students.

The document announces a final conference for the NaturNet Plus project held on September 27, 2011 in Līgatne, Latvia. The free event's agenda includes welcome and farewell speeches by local officials, a tour of the Līgatne historical center, presentations on sustainable development, the NaturNet Plus project and portal, Līgatne's achievements within the project, 3D maps of Līgatne and a geogame, and presentations from other countries involved in the project.
The document discusses NaturNet plus, a project that transfers knowledge about environmental education through a network of organizations in Europe. It describes the components of the NaturNet portal, including a data server, search services, geo-visualization modules, and an eLearning platform. The portal allows users to access and visualize spatial data, search content, and access eLearning modules within Moodle or other platforms.

This document summarizes a paper presented at the IST-Africa 2011 conference that introduces an approach called the "4th way to SDI building" and the concept of "Geoportal4everybody". The 4th way combines standardization efforts with commercial initiatives and support from voluntary communities. It aims to make spatial data infrastructure more accessible to people. Geoportal4everybody is a solution based on open source software that integrates spatial and non-spatial information using standards, and enables communication through social networks. The paper discusses background on previous related concepts of Geohosting and Uniform Resource Management, and proposes a "spider net" paradigm rather than a pyramid model for spatial data infrastructure.
Metaschool.cz - Towards Teacher Competencies with Web 2.0NaturNetPlus
The document describes the Metaschool project which aims to improve teacher training on organizing, sharing, and reusing digital learning resources through online repositories. It discusses the project's objectives to develop a training framework and strategies for teachers to tag resources and create personal portfolios. The methodology section outlines the four steps taken in Czech pilot workshops: building scenarios, vision building, testing scenarios, and collecting user requirements. Key technologies used were the Uniform Resource Management system, GeoHosting, and GeoGame software. Initial testing results found spatial games and student content creation were well adopted. The conclusion calls for wider international school cooperation to increase the potential of new technologies.
Social Space for Geospatial InformationNaturNetPlus
The document discusses building a "fourth way" to develop spatial data infrastructures (SDI) by combining standards, commercial initiatives, and community contributions. It proposes a "Geoportal4everybody" that would allow sharing spatial and non-spatial information through social networks and other means. The approach is based on open-source software and aims to make SDI development more accessible and distributed.
The document summarizes dissemination activities for the NaturNet Plus project in 2010-2011, including:
1) An international business exhibition in Šiauliai in November 2010 with businessmen and tourist centers.
2) A seminar called "Tourism+Šiauliai" in Šiauliai in February 2011 with tourism operators and businessmen.
3) A conference called "Enterprising Lithuania" in Šiauliai in March 2011 with businessmen and students.
