The document describes a project where students from an immigrant-focused technology class researched trebuchets online to help them build a model trebuchet for a competition. The teacher observed students as they searched in groups and found that they had trouble spelling "trebuchet" but were not discouraged. Students mostly used pictures over text to understand trebuchets and evaluated sites based on visual content rather than commercial intent. Their searches remained focused on the first results pages, and building plans engaged those who viewed them. The teacher concluded the project was a success but could be improved with better search training and assessment of learning.

The document summarizes a teacher's inquiry project to understand how their 6th grade students search for information online. The teacher had students watch a video on symbiosis and then: search for keywords to learn more, choose a search engine, select websites from the results, and evaluate which sites provided the most useful and reliable information. The teacher analyzed patterns in the students' choices and found that most chose Google as the search engine without understanding how search engines work. Students also had trouble evaluating websites and distinguishing commercial content. The teacher realized instruction is needed on effective searching, website evaluation, and understanding search engines and authorship.

Class 1-become-an-online-sleuth
This document provides information for a lesson plan titled "Become an Online Sleuth". The lesson teaches students how to evaluate the credibility of online content by identifying guidelines for what makes a website trustworthy or not. It involves students watching a video about evaluation criteria, discussing factors that indicate a site is reputable, and having students practice analyzing websites. The lesson aims to help students understand that just because something is online does not automatically make it true, and to learn skills for determining which sources they can trust online.
Topic 5 Aup
The document outlines a plan for teaching 5th grade students about the Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) for using the internet in school. The teacher would start by drawing a parallel between following rules at home and following the AUP. Students would then read and discuss the AUP in groups. The lesson aims to ensure students understand the AUP and why certain restrictions are in place, rather than just knowing the rules.

Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.
