Technology Integration
Technology integration in public schools can provide several benefits to learning. It can fill gaps in student learning through individualized instruction and practice. Technology also promotes higher-order thinking skills by allowing students to solve problems and demonstrate understanding through multimedia projects. Additionally, technology engages students by incorporating their interests and allowing them to take an active role in their learning through simulations and games.
Future classroom
The document describes a vision for future classrooms that will include innovative classroom environments with multiple smartboards, laptops for each student, and movable desks and tables. Technologies used will be enhanced with devices like laptops, printers, response systems, projectors, and access to online instruction. Classrooms will have more collaborative and student-driven activities using these technologies, with larger student-teacher ratios to support different subjects and technologies. The conclusion notes it is difficult to predict exactly what future classrooms and technologies will be like years from now given rapid advances.

Eric Cole will present on using Audacity for audio projects in a 7th grade LA classroom from 11:30-12:00 in room B208 on October 29, 2010. He will demonstrate how to use Audacity to allow students to record audio versions of classroom texts, stories, and assignments. This allows students to practice speaking skills, become more engaged with content, and learn a valuable 21st century skill. Students can then collaborate by editing the audio recordings together. Cole will provide tutorials and resources on using Audacity and suggestions for how completed audio files can be shared or published.
Innovative approaches to cross-campus delivery of learning
Speaker: Dan Pearson, principal and chief executive, USP College
USP College was formed in 2017 following the merger of Seevic College in Benfleet and Palmers College in Grays. The college provides career focussed learning giving students the skills employers need, with students not only gaining formal qualifications but developing professional skills desired by businesses.
Dan Pearson, principal and chief executive, explains how the merger has given rise to new opportunities to create a network of expert teachers. Using cutting edge technology, the college crafted a strategy to provide group learning over distance, providing solutions to teacher shortages and small class sizes.

The document discusses various applications of computers in education, including:
1) Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI) which provides interactive, self-paced learning through multimedia like text, graphics, sound and video.
2) Computer Assisted Learning (CAL) which uses computers as a tool to enhance traditional curriculum and improve thinking skills. Popular CAL software includes drill and practice, tutorials, problem solving, and simulations.
3) Computer Based Training (CBT) which uses computers to acquire skills needed to solve problems or perform tasks through individualized, experiential learning like simulations and models.

This document summarizes the results of a survey on language students' perspectives on using web 2.0 tools in language education. The survey found that students regularly use smartphones and laptops to access social networking sites, text, and blogs for personal use. In classes, they have used wikis and discussion boards more than other tools. Students were indifferent about tools' educational value but thought they could help skills if used creatively outside class. Educators should consider how students currently use tools for fun when integrating technology.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
