Accessibility within the Web Environment
The document discusses accessibility within the web environment. It summarizes the legislative position on accessibility in Australia and highlights both positive and negative examples of accessibility implementation on Australian government websites. Key points include that 95% of government departments fail basic accessibility compliance, though some sites show strong considerations. The document advocates embracing accessibility by ensuring the right skills, being creative in solutions, and testing beyond just technical standards.
Trees ESC
The document discusses using games to review information about trees that students learned. It plans to have student groups develop educational games about trees to help review and reinforce the material. The games aim to promote collaboration, teamwork, and competition between groups to increase active learning. One proposed game is a Jeopardy-style review for a quiz on the tree material.
Perspectives on Social Tagging
This document discusses social tagging and compares three social networks: Delicious, Flickr, and YouTube. It finds that Delicious users tag primarily to organize bookmarks about web content and programming. Flickr users tag mainly to organize photos by features like color and location. YouTube users do not tag as much and tagging seems to focus on describing video content. The tagging behavior, vocabulary, and trends differ across these three social networks.

Accessibility Means Business
The document discusses how accessibility benefits businesses by opening their websites and services to a broader audience of potential customers. It notes that over 4 million people have disabilities and 2.5 million are over 65, representing a significant spending market. While some see accessibility as expensive, the document provides examples of companies that saw returns on investment within a year of making their sites accessible. It emphasizes that true accessibility goes beyond technical compliance to consider all users and remove obstacles for customers.

This document outlines an interdisciplinary unit plan about patterns of time for a second grade class. The unit will last two weeks and cover science, geography, language arts, math, and technology topics related to how the sun, moon, and earth affect each other and patterns of day and night. Students will engage in hands-on activities and complete assessments to help answer the essential questions of how patterns of time affect them and the world.

Hepatitis06 16 09
Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver that can be caused by toxins, drugs, diseases, alcohol, or viral infections. The three main types of viral hepatitis are A, B, and C, which are caused by different viruses and transmitted differently. Hepatitis A is usually transmitted through ingestion of fecal matter and does not become chronic, while hepatitis B and C are transmitted through blood and can become chronic infections affecting hundreds of millions of people worldwide. Prevention methods include hand washing, vaccinations, and avoiding sharing personal items that may transmit blood or bodily fluids.
Project 3
This document provides a scoring rubric and assessment for preschool math standards related to counting, shapes, and patterns. It will be used to evaluate students in a PreK class. The assessment involves giving students cut-out shapes to continue 2D and 3D shape patterns, requiring them to count the number of shapes. Teachers will also observe math skills during daily activities like calendar time and shape bingo.

This document discusses how to build trust in relationships through branding oneself online. It emphasizes establishing personal credibility and empathy to foster trust between people and companies. It also notes that businesses need the right online presence to remain relevant in a competitive spending environment.
Designing The Classroom Environment
The document discusses how to design an effective early childhood learning environment that incorporates robotics. It recommends including active zones for building, programming, and art stations, as well as quiet zones and messy zones. Specific considerations for robotics stations include adequate space for programming computers and constructions, storage, and displays of programming icons. Walls should document the process, showcase completed projects, and display teaching materials. With minimal additional materials, most classrooms can create a stimulating robotics learning environment.
Introduction To WCAG 2.0
The W3C published the WCAG 2.0 specification in December 2008, but what does this mean for local governments and how do they work?
This presentation provides a brief introduction to web accessibility and current the structure of the WCAG 2.0 specification. What is new in WCAG 2.0 and how it aims to support a variety of technologies.
Enterprise Unified Process (EUP)
The Enterprise Unified Process (EUP) is an enterprise-oriented information systems methodology that is an extension of the Rational Unified Process (RUP). The EUP structures development around development disciplines like requirements and design, support disciplines like project management, and new enterprise disciplines. It differs from the RUP in its grouping of disciplines, addition of 7 enterprise disciplines, and inclusion of new production and retirement phases.
