Technology and curriculum issues day 4 vikki bridgewater nrvpriddle
The document discusses issues related to technology integration and curriculum. It addresses several myths about how technology will impact society and learning. While technology provides opportunities to support differentiated instruction, it is important to consider how to quality integrate it and address student safety issues online. The teacher remains the most important factor for motivating students and facilitating their work together.
The document discusses a study on technology overload in teacher education. It summarizes an online graduate course on computer-assisted language learning (CALL) taught in 2006. Five out of eight students wrote about feeling frustrated by too much information, not being able to find things, and not knowing where to put things. Interviews revealed frustration was due to time constraints, procedural errors, and group work, but was lessened by personal attention, connections with others, and relevance to work. A later survey found most respondents sometimes feel overwhelmed by technologies, though personal support, pacing, reflection, and hands-on experience can help mediate this. The conclusion is that while buzzwords seem magical, proper support allows teachers to learn quickly without feeling overwhelmed.

The Corruption of a Text: Looking at Geroge Herbert's The Temple in Digitized...John Rodzvilla
When mass digitization of books started in the mid-2000s, several libraries and researchers saw this as a boon to general research. After almost a decade of working with these texts it is important to examine the textual integrity of the files that are provided through services like Google Play and The HathiTrust. This paper will explore the quality of the plain text files of George Herbert’s "The Temple: Sacred Poems and Private Ejaculations" available through these online repositories when compared to the original manuscript. There are currently seven editions of the book listed on Google Books as free eBooks and about 15 versions available at HathiTrust.org. "The Temple" was chosen as it includes concrete poetry and has a varied publishing history. The text, across its varied editions, will give a clear indication of how well these digital repositories provide access points to the text beyond the basic scan of the physical page. The paper concludes with a discussion of the limitations of the texts that were found to have been included in the mass digitization programs.
This document discusses the divide between libraries and publishers in the digital information age. It explores how librarians and publishers see the world differently, with librarians focused on patron access, funding, community, and volume of information, while publishers focus on intellectual property protection, innovation, and sustainability. The document also examines issues facing publishers like access, discoverability, community, and quality control in the digital environment. It argues that libraries and publishers should change their outlooks and take on aspects of each other's roles, with publishers using reader data to enhance digital experiences and libraries engaging in publishing initiatives using their archives and community connections.
Metadata provides important information about digital content. There are three main places metadata is stored in an EPUB file: the navigation file, packaging file, and HTML files. The minimum required metadata for an EPUB includes a unique ID, title, and language. Additional recommended metadata includes date, publisher, rights, creator, contributor, and attributes for author and contributor roles and names. Metadata in InDesign allows for entries like the identifier, author, title, description, keywords, copyright, and language.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
