Teaching Reading and Spelling Without Teachers?
Children in a remote Ethiopian village were given solar-powered tablets with no instruction or teachers. Within minutes, the children had powered up the tablets and within weeks were using the programs loaded onto them. Their inquisitive minds and brains allowed them to teach themselves how to use the technology. The document argues that if teaching methods are transformed to work with children's natural abilities using technology, the process of learning to read and write can be sped up.

Ulearn10 conference slide pres
This document summarizes the journey of Botany Downs School in New Zealand from having very limited ICT resources and inquiry learning four years ago to their current capabilities. It began with joining an ICT/inquiry learning cluster and working to improve infrastructure by installing wireless, upgrading servers, and providing devices like laptops, projectors, cameras and interactive whiteboards to each classroom. Teachers learned to integrate technologies like blogging, Google Docs, and video creation tools to support inquiry learning. Younger students now use technologies like digital microscopes, Skype and stop-motion movies. The presentation shows how ICT has transformed the school from "e-zero" to "e-heroes" through incremental improvements over time.
Technology research
This document discusses how different media technologies can be used as learning tools in the classroom. It describes several examples, including a school creating an online photo library where students wrote captions to describe images of their community, using Skype to communicate with people in other locations, and implementing blogging to encourage writing and receive feedback. The conclusion states that these technologies can help overcome obstacles, boost confidence in both the tools and subjects being taught, and integrate activities students enjoy into their education.
Digital Textbooks
1) Digital textbooks are becoming more common as they are available to purchase online or download onto laptops or e-readers. They allow for more interactivity but require technology.
2) Transitioning to digital textbooks could save schools a significant amount of money on textbook costs each year while also reducing the heavy weight students carry. However, digital formats require technology that is not always accessible.
3) While digital textbooks provide environmental and cost benefits, paper formats remain more universally available and accessible. As technology access improves and prices decrease, digital textbooks may eventually replace paper ones in most classrooms.

Traditionally, learning has been a part of teaching in the classroom, but internet has changed all that. Our pupils learn 24 hours a day. This is a reality teachers are facing when they meet students today. Many teachers use flipped classrooms to enhance pupil’s learning. It is a challenge for some of us. How can we provide excellent quality in our flipped education? It is a technical issue as well as a methodological challenge. This interactive workshop will explore this topic. I will give examples from Swedish schools and provide the audience with tools for teaching in a modern classroom.

EFFECTS OF TECHNOLOGY
ON EDUCATION
Technology has changed the way we live. It has greatly impacted different facets of life and redefined living. Technology plays an important role in every part of life. Several manual tasks can be automated, thanks to technology. Many difficult and critical processes can be carried out with more and greater efficiency with the help of modern technology.
Technology has been of great importance in school and it has changed the field of education. With the onset of computers in education, it has become easier for tutors to have more knowledge and therefore pass it down to the students. The process of teaching and learning are more efficient and enjoyable with the use of technology. Students will not only have computers to help them with their schoolwork, but they will use the internet to do their research while teachers use it to enhance t.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

eBook Takeover
- 1. The e-book Takeover A new revolution in education. By Kelli Tanzi
- 2. Have you ever used one of these?
- 3. I have…. I LOVE it!!
- 4. All that you would ever need at the touch of your finger. Instant downloads. Hundreds of thousands of titles and counting. Internet access from just about anywhere to make it simple to get a book now. Most titles sold for a fraction of the cost. Includes multiple functions like text-to-speech, instant dictionary for highlighted words and note taking within a text. Perfect if you love to read for pleasure! Readers like iPads are coming out with more and more apps that are as useful as they are fun.
- 5. What more could you ask for?
- 6. Now imagine one in the hands of your students. What would that look like? Could it really be done?
- 7. Why? Times are changing and the schools of the future must go with them. As much as we love to cling to the familiar, we must step out of our comfort zones to embrace what the children of today see as a normal part of their lives. I feel student engagement would be much higher if we were ‘speaking their language’.
- 8. Pros All students textbooks are found in one place. Fiction and non-fiction texts could also be downloaded. Textbooks could be updated on a more frequent basis. No more waiting for the 7 year cycle. Saves on students’ backs. Lugging around heavy backpacks would be a thing of the past. Environmentally friendly No warehousing costs for outdated material. Extra material comes with the lessons to enhance teachers planning and delivery of a topic. The cost in the long run could be significantly less. Other features, such as apps, could help students in all areas.
- 9. Cons All student’s books are in one place. If they lose one, they lose them all. Start up cost would be significant and may not work with district funding if on a cycle. Cost of replacing broken or lost eBook readers could add up. Teacher would need to administer and manage the eBook readers. Some readers, such as the iPad, have other features that may distract the students. Extensive training may be necessary to make sure they are being used to full potential.

- 11. What I have learned Our students are digital natives. Many have been using the most current technology since the were small. My own 3 year old daughter has a few favorite websites and she can maneuver within each site fairly well. I imagine that using the boring old approach with her will be difficult. Embracing the latest technology is scary for some. It is expensive and, to digital immigrants, does not seem to be worth the price of the hassle. But we are not teaching digital immigrants. And if we are not careful, we just might have a revolt on our hands!
