Teaching Tech to Patrons: The Current LandscapeNick Tanzi
Staff have long served as technology instructors to our communities; what does that role look like in the year 2018 and beyond? This presentation will look at common topics, suggested curriculum, and best practices. A variety of approaches will be covered, including one-on-one, small group, drop-in, and passive instruction. With the right preparation, libraries can continue to help our patrons navigate the rapidly changing tech landscape!

ETUG2015-Mobile Technology Integration in an Applied Science Program: Forestr...Michael Paskevicius
As mobile devices continue to proliferate throughout society, the question of how higher education might take advantage of these devices for use in teaching and learning remains unclear. While many institutions now have ‘bring your own device’ (BYOD) policies, others have mandated access to mobile devices at the program or institutional level.
The purpose of this session is present the case of how our department of forestry went about implementing a tablet initiative. The tablet was a required device for both faculty and students entering the program in September 2014 with the intended goals of reducing textbook purchase costs for students, mirroring industry standard practices in mobile device usage and enabling collaborative and active learning in the classroom.
In the session we will share what we have learned thus far in supporting the initiative and reflect on feedback collected from faculty and students in interviews, focus groups and observations throughout the program. At the end of the session, participants should be able to identify the challenges, issues and best practices for implementing a tablet initiative at this level.
The iPad has revolutionized the ways teachers deliver lectures, display whiteboard activities, deliver quizzes and polls and start group discussions.
This session will give you an overview of how the iPad is being used, around the world, in and out of the classroom. A list of iPad apps along with suggested training resources will also be made available at the end of the session.
Tablet computers for dissemination of digital scholarly editionsAodhán Kelly
Presentation given as part of a workshop on tablet opportunities for the publication of digital scholarly editions at DiXiT Camp 3 in Boras University, Sweden, February 2015
From April 1st, 2011 to March 31st 2012, the Partnership's SmartBusiness team consulted with 251 businesses in Halifax, NS, the majority of which were Small and Medium sized Enterprises (SMEs). This report is a compilation of the 213 retention visits to local businesses and their experiences with the Halifax economy. Retention visits cover a variety of issues ranging from: perceptions of the local business climate, to the company’s local workforce, to sales, even immigration issues.

Caching Search Engine Results over Incremental IndicesRoi Blanco
A Web search engine must update its index periodically to incorporate changes to the Web. We argue in this paper that index updates fundamentally impact the design of search engine result caches, a performance-critical component of modern search engines. Index updates lead to the problem of cache invalidation: invalidating cached entries of queries whose results have changed. Naive approaches, such as flushing the entire cache upon every index update, lead to poor performance and in fact, render caching futile when the frequency of updates is high. Solving the invalidation problem efficiently corresponds to predicting accurately which queries will produce different results if re-evaluated, given the actual changes to the index.
To obtain this property, we propose a framework for developing invalidation predictors and define metrics to evaluate invalidation schemes. We describe concrete predictors using this framework and compare them against a baseline that uses a cache invalidation scheme based on time-to-live (TTL). Evaluation over Wikipedia documents using a query log from the Yahoo! search engine shows that selective invalidation of cached search results can lower the number of unnecessary query evaluations by as much as 30% compared to a baseline scheme, while returning results of similar freshness. In general, our predictors enable fewer unnecessary invalidations and fewer stale results compared to a TTL-only scheme for similar freshness of results.

Plan Amsterdam, over de brettenzone en Sloterdijk met onze bijdrage!Wouter Valkenier
In het eerste artikel, een nadere kennismaking met
de verschillende deelgebieden Sloterdijk I, II, III, IV en
Sloterdijk Centrum, ofwel de Sloterdijken. Daarna meer
over de oorzaken voor de hernieuwde dynamiek in
het gebied. In het tweede artikel wordt dieper ingegaan
op de nieuwe woonfunctie in Sloterdijk Centrum,
het kantorengebied rond station Sloterdijk. Waarom
mag het nu wel? Waar mogen mensen precies wonen.
En, hoe gaat de gemeente dit aanpakken?
Het derde artikel gaat over het groen. Elke Amsterdammer
heeft groen op loop- en fietsafstand. Zo ook
de nieuwe bewoners. De Bretten is een natuurgebied
dat deels is aangelegd, maar grotendeels zelf is ontstaan.
Een relatief onbekend juweeltje, maar ook daar zal
vanzelf verandering in komen. Er is gewoonweg veel
te zien en te beleven voor de Amsterdammer.
Mobile learning- New Tools for a New CurriculumJohn Sloan
This presentation was made at the Pearson Celebrating a 21st Century Education Conference, November 2010.
It gives background research and exemplars of how mobile devices can be used to enhance 21st Century Maths and Science learning
This keynote presentation was given at the 8th Annual Faculty Technology Showcase at Bloomfield College in New Jersey, January 2012.
This presentation addressed the then-current advertising tagline that "There's an app for that" which has moved into education as a possible solution for many software needs. Apps – small, easy to download software for mobile devices – are changing how students use technology. It is also changing the way colleges design and deploy software. How are schools reacting to this app world? This presentation examines how mobile and web apps are currently being developed and used, and the ways educators can implement them for teaching and for campus-wide initiatives.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

• It’s not going to work like you expected the first time
around unless you give it a trial run.
• Lots of perseverance and motivation needed to stick with
it
• There is additional “cognitive load” when using
technology at first.
• Need procedures in place to keep equipment
charged, working, and safe & secure.
