The document discusses LARA, which stands for Learning, Analytics, Reflection, and Awareness. It includes links to resources about quantified self and mindfulness, Google spreadsheets, and an Ariadne project on emotions. The document raises questions about whether the individual, entire class, or experiences over time are being examined. It ends by mentioning the creator of the document and includes their Twitter handle and website.
The document outlines the agenda for a class meeting. It discusses that Project #3 is due on November 19th at 5pm and that next week's class is cancelled due to a holiday, with online work assigned instead. It addresses issues with a previous Google Docs peer review assignment and introduces Project #4 which involves writing a technology autobiography in tweets. Students are instructed to complete prompts about their first technology experiences and provide feedback on classmates' tweets.
The document describes using a peno3 server to store and transmit data through REST API and Socket.IO. REST API is used to store and retrieve non-volatile data through HTTP requests while Socket.IO enables live communication and sending volatile data between devices in real-time without saving to the server. Examples are provided for making requests to the REST API through HTTP and curl, and using Socket.IO to emit and receive events between clients.
The document outlines an agenda for a workshop session with the following key points:
- The session runs from 14:00 to 18:00 and includes connecting an Arduino to a Raspberry Pi, hands-on exercises, and a break.
- Participants will hook up sensors to an Arduino, plug the Arduino into a Raspberry Pi, and read sensor values on the Pi using Python code.
- The exercises involve reading an analog sensor value on the Arduino and printing it to the serial port to be read by Python code on the Raspberry Pi.
Making Wikipedia: Students as Information CreatorsIrisLynne
This document discusses using Wikipedia as an educational tool in classrooms. It provides statistics on Wikipedia usage which show it is one of the most widely used information sources. The document then describes assignments professors can give students, such as editing existing Wikipedia articles or creating new ones. It shares examples of classes at LaGuardia Community College and Hunter College that have incorporated Wikipedia editing. The benefits cited include teaching students critical thinking, information evaluation, and allowing them to become producers of information for the public. Resources for setting up Wikipedia assignments are provided.

This document discusses learning dashboards created by Sven Charleer and colleagues to support awareness, reflection, and learning analytics. It provides an overview of several prototypes created, including the Navi Badgeboard, Navi Surface, and LARA.e03 dashboards. Evaluation results are presented for each prototype, indicating they were well received and increased motivation, awareness, and reflection. The document outlines plans for future research including publications, workshops, and conferences in 2014-2016. It also lists related courses and Charleer's contributions to education through student supervision and support.
Attix5 is an excellent backup solution covering all major platforms and applications. However it also has a very efficient multi-tenant portal. Easy to maintain; quick to deploy.
This document outlines the agenda for a class on MLA citation. It includes details about group assignments for round 2 of MLA Idol, where students will create presentations on citing different source types. It provides guidelines for the presentations and instructions for peer reviewing draft project papers in Google Docs. It concludes by assigning peer reviews to be completed by Friday and wishing students a good spring break.
Agile is about people and collaboration. When we try to do distributed Agile, we can forget that and focus on tools.
This presentation (recently delivered at the GE Agile Conference in Detroit) shows some of the reasons we fall into management modes which harm Agile teams -- and some ways to foster the true spirit of Agile even for remote workers.
Children went on a monster taxi ride through the garden jungle and saw some scary monsters in the back, then used explorer bags and binoculars to go on a monster hunt where they spotted monsters that Jim and Hamza could see, after which they drew pictures of the monsters they found.
This document provides an agenda for a class on rhetoric and rhetorical analysis. It introduces key concepts of rhetoric including purpose, audience, and context. It discusses Aristotle's definition of rhetoric. It provides examples and activities for students to analyze samples to identify the purpose, audience, and context, and how rhetorical strategies are used to accomplish the purpose. Students are instructed to read and analyze a sample student essay to identify these elements and provide evidence of rhetorical strategies used. The document concludes by noting upcoming assignments and deadlines.
1. The document discusses the concepts of remix and remediation. Remix involves recombining elements from existing works to create something new, while maintaining some aspect of the original or using its structure differently.
2. Remediation refers to moving content from one medium to another, such as a book being adapted as a film.
3. The document provides examples of remixes including parody films, songs that sample and remix existing audio, and Internet memes. It also directs students to create avatars using the Bitstrips website.
The document discusses the importance of titles for reading passages and provides prompts for student responses. It asks students whether the title "A Day We'll Never Forget" is an appropriate title for a chapter and to support their answer using details from the text. It also asks students what rules adults tell them to follow and why adults say to follow those rules. The document provides status updates for reading and writing workshops on September 13, 2010.
