Wiki spaces.powerpoint6.2012
Wiki Spaces was launched in 2005 and allows for collaboration online. The document discusses how Wiki Spaces can be used for teacher professional development by allowing collaboration anywhere at any time on lesson plans and resources. Both positives, like incorporating multiple media and reducing free riders, and negatives, like internet reliance and simultaneous editing, are outlined. Effective teacher responsibilities like providing an educational setting for problem solving and focusing on knowledge building are presented. Student and teacher surveys show positive reactions to participation and ongoing resources. Various classroom activities that can be done through Wiki Spaces are provided as examples.
Ed 480 Final Presentation
This document discusses the benefits of using blogs in the classroom. It notes that blogs are easy for teachers and students to use, flexible in design, and allow convenient access from anywhere. Blogs are described as a good tool for communication, motivation of students, and improving reading and writing through collaborative discussions that extend learning outside of the classroom. Specific uses mentioned include classroom management, collaboration on developing skills, online instruction and mentoring, and creating a digital portfolio of student work. Potential downsides like privacy and lack of oversight are also addressed.
Resources for students and teachers
This document discusses the importance of using Web 2.0 tools in elementary school classrooms. It provides examples of specific Web 2.0 tools that can be used to support English/Language Arts, Science/Social Studies, and Math. The document recommends that educators continuously check blogs, wikis, and Twitter to find new Web 2.0 tools. It also lists blogs, wikis, and Twitter accounts for educators to follow to learn about trending educational technologies.

1) Quality and safety in healthcare aims to minimize risks of harm to patients through effective systems and individual performance. Common medical errors include medication errors, wrong-site surgeries, and misdiagnoses.
2) QSEN seeks to prepare nurses with competencies in patient-centered care, teamwork, evidence-based practice, quality improvement, safety, and informatics to continuously improve healthcare quality and safety.
3) Providing high-quality, patient-centered care requires effective communication, collaboration, and shared decision-making among healthcare team members and with patients and their families.
Study: The Future of VR, AR and Self-Driving Cars
We asked LinkedIn members worldwide about their levels of interest in the latest wave of technology: whether they’re using wearables, and whether they intend to buy self-driving cars and VR headsets as they become available. We asked them too about their attitudes to technology and to the growing role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the devices that they use. The answers were fascinating – and in many cases, surprising.
This SlideShare explores the full results of this study, including detailed market-by-market breakdowns of intention levels for each technology – and how attitudes change with age, location and seniority level. If you’re marketing a tech brand – or planning to use VR and wearables to reach a professional audience – then these are insights you won’t want to miss.
Hype vs. Reality: The AI Explainer
Artificial intelligence (AI) is everywhere, promising self-driving cars, medical breakthroughs, and new ways of working. But how do you separate hype from reality? How can your company apply AI to solve real business problems?
Here’s what AI learnings your business should keep in mind for 2017.

This document discusses using interactive whiteboards in science classrooms and provides examples of how they can enhance instruction. Interactive whiteboards allow teachers to access electronic resources, seamlessly link technology to lesson material, and save work for future use. They can engage and motivate students by making science concepts interactive. Suggested uses include manipulating text and images, taking digital notes, viewing websites as a group, and showcasing student presentations. Several websites with science simulations and lessons are also listed.

Web 2.0 tools that can be used are provided as examples.
Managing a Group Build in Second Life
This presentation examines the management of a collaborative, four-week project within the virtual world Second Life. Seven instructional technology graduate students at Purdue University Calumet in Hammond, Indiana, were asked to design a multifunctional, virtual learning space for their program. As a team, students set goals and action plan, and learned how to manipulate objects within Second Life to create the space they had envisioned. A great deal was learned about virtual collaboration, as well as technical issues related to building projects in Second Life, and this presentation will share the best practices and caveats that emerged from this endeavor.
Wikis, blogs, and web publishing
James Conolly, a science teacher, took an online course to improve his technology skills for teaching. He discusses using wikis, blogs, and websites to enhance student learning and communication. Conolly has created several online resources, including a wiki and WordPress site, to share materials with other teachers and allow students to collaborate. While there are some challenges, he finds the benefits of these technologies outweigh the cons by allowing more interactive, engaging lessons and feedback.
