Resources To Support Library And Information Specialists Aug 09magsmckay
Resources to support inclusive practice. An overview of freeware assistive and enabling technologies to assist staff and students in schools, colleges and universities.
The document discusses designing school libraries and learning spaces to prepare students for the 21st century. It emphasizes giving students choice in how and what they learn through open, collaborative environments that foster creativity and communication. The basics of the design approach involve teaching educators design thinking, understanding students' visions, learning from other industries, and promoting continuous change through teacher entrepreneurship and leadership.
The document discusses how traditional classroom spaces may not adequately prepare students for 21st century workplaces. It questions whether deep thinking is possible when students are uncomfortable and argues classrooms should provide more comfort like modern workplaces to better support learning. The document uses examples of mortgage banks to illustrate how workplaces now emphasize comfort over traditional school designs.
The document discusses problems with the 19th century model of education still used today. It notes that students are taught in factory-like classrooms separated by age using outdated tools, and are evaluated through testing that relies on these outdated methods. Creativity is crushed by focusing on exams and rigid curricula instead of collaboration. Content is taught in isolated stovepipes rather than being integrated, and students are expected to progress at the same rate despite varying abilities. This model fails to prepare students for the 21st century economy that values creativity over memorization of easily searchable facts.
This document discusses rethinking different aspects of education, including differentiation, technology, reading, writing, space, time, and connections. The key ideas are:
1) Differentiation should be purpose-driven and focus on what students will know and be able to do, and how they will change.
2) Technology use, reading, and writing approaches should be task-based, environmentally centered, and student-centered.
3) Learning spaces should not isolate students in rectangles but connect them to the real world, and time in school should serve learning rather than a delivery schedule.
4) Education should join students to the world by helping them build their own connections through choice and networks.
The document discusses different aspects of open and classroom spaces in several countries and states including transparency laws in England, open spaces in Australia and Sweden, classroom designs in Denmark, and seating choices, instructional space design, and budget design advice from a website focused on Virginia and education.
The document discusses allowing student discovery and curiosity to guide classroom learning rather than strict curriculums. It advocates using technology to liberate and empower students, not limit them, and tailoring education to individual communities rather than standardized models. The key ideas are mass localization not standardization, scaling learning across communities rather than imposing uniform structures, and cultivating student creativity embedded in their community's culture.
This document provides guidance on transitioning to college and discusses various tools to support reading and writing for students with disabilities, including Balabolka literacy software, the Kindle app, Windows Speech Recognition, phone apps, and PowerTalk for PowerPoint. It summarizes the key features and functions of these apps to help students access textbooks and class materials using text-to-speech.
This document provides an overview of open office skills for college, including creating course folders and subfolders to organize notes and documents. It discusses backing up documents to external storage, using the notetaking template to take notes within a course folder organized by date, and saving files in common formats like .odt, .doc, and .txt. The document also reviews using the auto-correct feature to create shortcuts for commonly used phrases or complex words.
The document discusses various skills that can be used with the Firefox browser on the Freedom Stick portable device. It describes how to bookmark web pages for easy access, use the read aloud feature to have text read aloud, simplify pages by removing images and formatting for easier reading, and translate selected text into different languages. It also explains how to personalize the browser experience by changing bookmarks and the home page.
This document discusses transitioning to college with a disability and provides tips for doing so successfully. It recommends students register with their campus disability services office, understand available accommodations and services, and negotiate accommodations with professors. The document stresses using assistive technologies, like text-to-speech, to focus and feel comfortable on campus. Students are encouraged to advocate for themselves and the tools and accommodations they need.
This document lists various learning spaces that move beyond traditional classrooms, including parks, museums, libraries, and workplaces. It suggests rethinking where and how learning takes place outside of the standard school model. The list includes outdoor areas, cultural institutions, and corporate offices that could inspire new approaches to education.
The document discusses the "Cult of Efficiency" and its focus on standardization and increasing productivity in schools. It criticizes this viewpoint for failing to consider other important factors beyond speed and resource efficiency. It also references a 1832 critique of the myth that teachers do not work hard and only teach for 6 hours a day, pointing out that in reality teachers spend many more hours devoted to schoolwork, planning, and thinking about their students.
The document discusses the importance of environmental factors that can impact learning, such as providing students with seating choices, interactive technology options, outdoor spaces, and allowing them to customize their own learning spaces. It suggests that schools should offer more comfortable and flexible learning environments that accommodate different student needs and preferences to promote creativity, focus, and engagement.
The document discusses liberating classrooms through technology choice by rethinking the traditional structure of classrooms. It suggests that 1) rethinking the rigid division of time into learning vs non-learning, 2) eliminating divisions between students by age and content by subject, and 3) using technology and spatial environment choices to encourage crossing boundaries and sharing can help create more flexible learning spaces. It asks a series of questions about how the classroom space can be designed to encourage collaboration, consolidation of learning, and choice to enable every learner's comfort.
The document discusses the fundamental flaws in the current education system and advocates for reform. It argues that the system was designed to filter out students and promote white privilege through standardized practices. It suggests moving to a more individualized, student-centered model without standardized grades, curriculum, technology or environments. Students would choose personalized learning experiences and have greater flexibility in scheduling. The goal is to engage and include all students by meeting them where they are.
1) Technology is defined broadly as any means used to manipulate the world, including structures, furniture, lighting, schedules, and information systems.
2) Technology determines our frame of reference and how we view the world, referred to as "enframing".
3) While technology can be used to oppress, the "toolbelt theory" proposes that giving students freedom to choose their own tools and representations liberates them to develop uniquely and collaborate more effectively.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Toolbelt Theory 2.0
1. Toolbelt Theory 2.0 Universal Design and Global Access through Student Technology Choice Ira David Socol Michigan State University CSUN 2010 San Diego
2. Enabling the tool use and tool choice skills of our students is at the heart of giving them the power to succeed in their future .
5. "Toolbelt Theory" suggests that we must teach our students how to analyze tasks, the task-completion environment, their own skills and capabilities, an appropriate range of available tools… and let them begin to make their own decisions
6. • Break the dependence cycle • Develop lifespan technology skills • Limit the impact of limitations • Empower student decision- making • Prepare students for life outside of and beyond school
7. Students learn to employ a specifically ordered version of Joy Zabala's SETT Framework (Student, Environment, Tools, Tasks). Specifically ordered because, in human experience, the choice of tools is always Task - dependent.
10. Task. At the most basic, I need to know if I need to cut wood or join it before I start looking for a tool to use.
11. Environment is next because it makes a huge difference whether I am cutting the wood in my garage or in a forest.
12. Then, I need to know my Skills – Am I strong? Am I exhausted? Is my right hand broken? Am I simply a danger to myself and others with power tools?
13. Once I know all of that, I need to know which Tools exist – if I have never seen a chainsaw, as many dyslexic students (for example) have never seen a good digital reader, I will spend long hours hacking ineffectively with an axe.
14.
15. Intake and Output “ Reading is defined as getting information from a recorded source into your head, Writing is defined as getting information from your head into a form which others can access.”
16. Intake and Output Information is freed from any specific delivery system.
17. Task 1. What needs to be done? (when possible, break the task down into component parts)
18. Environment 1. Where must this be done ? 2. Under what time constraints? 3. What is the standard method of task completion? 4. How does this student interact within this environment? 5. Who is the task being done for? (specifics of teacher, employer, other expectations)
19. Skills 1. What specific strengths does the person with the disability bring to this task? 2. What specific weaknesses interfere with that person's ability to complete the task? 3. What is that person's "tool acquisition aptitude" and what tools are they currently comfortable with?
20. Tools 1. What tool best "bridges the gap" between the current skill set and what is needed? 2. If the tool is not already "in the toolbox" (successfully trained in its use), how does the environmental timeline match with the needed learning curve? 3. If it is not possible to use the "best tool" within this environment what is the "back-up tool"?
22. The goal is to empower students to continuously assess their changing needs and the ever changing technological environment that surrounds them, and allow them to build their own toolbelts of appropriate solutions to their life challenges.
