Closing Plenary: Museums and the Web AsiaGeorge Oates
George Oates gave a presentation at the Museums and the Web Asia conference in Melbourne, Australia in 2015. He discussed his career experience working with cultural institutions and online platforms. He then analyzed how assumptions, attention, and articulation have changed regarding museum practice in the digital era. Specifically, he examined shifting assumptions about sharing collections online, changing patterns of human attention, and new opportunities for articulating collections. The talk touched on many examples and artworks to conceptualize these changes.
The document discusses economic issues in Asia, including Japan entering a recession due to a standstill in growth and implementing a stimulus package, China experiencing high inflation and interest rate hikes to address rising prices, labor and gender shortages in China due to policies from the 1980s, and concludes with forecasts that recessions and demographic challenges will continue to be problems for the region's economies in the near and long term future.
Libraries & Tech for Good, 11 July 2016 (with notes)George Oates
I was one of four presenters talking to a crowd of #techforgood appreciators at Somerset House. I was there to describe the project we worked on with the Wellcome Trust, called What's in the Library?, a digital exploration of the extent and richness of the Wellcome Library catalogue.

Week 7 lesson planning and writing - no photos rmcquirter
This document provides an overview of lesson planning content covered in Week 7, including gradual release of responsibility models, instructional reading formats, comprehension strategies, and the writing process. It describes a sample language arts lesson on empathy that uses a minds-on activity, viewing a video as an action, and student video projects for consolidation. It also includes a Brock lesson plan template and discusses writing tasks, decisions, and brainstorming ideas for Remembrance Day writing projects.
In this talk social entrepreneur, Liz Ngonzi, shares her journey to finding greater meaning in life.
She takes you from the conundrum of success, lots of resume accomplishments from an Ivy League school, to Fortune 100 jobs, to a top notch client roster, to honors and awards, but feeling deeply something big was missing. It took three months living in a blue tent at an Ashram to find what it was.
Share the journey, discover what she came to know and see how she hopes it will inspire you to find your own path to balance and joy.
Optimising the use of Ground Penetrating Radar(GPR) for quality control of Pa...Himanshu Rao
Its a new Emerging way in India as well as worldwide used for quality check of pavemnents as its a non-destructive test and reliable too. it make use of Radar Technology.
The document provides information about a biology lesson for Form 1 students focusing on cells. The learning objectives are to compare and contrast the general structures of animal and plant cells. Students will draw and label diagrams of typical animal and plant cells and state the main similarities and differences between them. An evaluation found that 70% of students understood the differences between animal and plant cells after this lesson. Key vocabulary introduced includes terms like cell wall, chloroplasts, cytoplasm, nucleus, and vacuole.
Comprehensive literacy involves balanced instruction across four strands of language: oral language, reading, writing, and media studies. Within these strands, a balance of genres like fiction, non-fiction, novels, short stories and poetry is taught. Literacy instruction also makes cross-curricular connections to other subjects and uses a gradual release of responsibility model with whole group, small group, paired and individual instructional strategies. A variety of print, digital, and multimodal materials and resources are used for assessment for, as, and of learning with differentiated instruction and a focus on strategy formation.
[Metropolia Student Project Seminar 24.5.] Innovative Building MaterialsGBC Finland
This document provides a summary of four innovative building materials: Oriented Strand Board, plywood and similar wood composites, CO2-absorbing concrete, and reactive powder concrete. It describes how OSB is an engineered wood product made of layered wood strands for use in construction. Plywood and similar materials can be made from various wood types and additional layers. CO2-absorbing concrete incorporates industrial byproducts to absorb CO2 and improve energy efficiency of buildings. Reactive powder concrete uses very fine silica fume and steel fibers to achieve extreme strength and durability.
The Five Themes in Geography were developed by the National Council for Geographic Education to provide a framework for presenting geographic materials. The five themes are: Location, Place, Human-Environment Interaction, Movement, and Regions. Location refers to absolute and relative positions on Earth. Place examines physical and human characteristics. Human-Environment Interaction considers how humans shape landscapes. Movement describes human interactions across Earth. Regions are unified spaces defined by shared characteristics.
This document defines several key terms related to Reconstruction: Scalawags were white southerners who supported the Republican party; Carpetbaggers were northerners who moved south after the Civil War; Hiram Revels was the first African American Senator. It also describes sharecropping as a new system where farmworkers farmed a few acres of land from landowners in exchange for a portion of crops, and tenant farming as renting land from landowners for cash payments.
This document contains daily warm-up questions for U.S. history classes covering a range of topics from the Civil War era through the Progressive Era. The questions are designed to engage students in discussions about historical events, policies, social issues and perspectives from the time periods. Students are prompted to make connections between historical contexts and their own lives. Key eras addressed include Reconstruction, westward expansion, industrialization, immigration, and U.S. imperialism under Theodore Roosevelt.
This document provides an outline and overview for a US History I class taught by Mrs. Pisarek. It outlines the topics to be covered each marking period, from the Union in Peril through World War I. It describes what students will learn, including current events, films, and research projects. It outlines class rules and expectations, grading policies, and the importance of arriving on time. The final pages provide instructions for an introductory activity where students will make name tags and introduce their partner to the class.
The document provides information about Reconstruction in the United States following the Civil War. It discusses Abraham Lincoln's plan for Reconstruction, Andrew Johnson's plan, and the plan enacted by Congress. Congress opposed the earlier plans and imposed harsher terms on the South, dividing it into military districts. The document also outlines the economic devastation of the South from the war, the abolition of slavery, and efforts to establish rights for freed slaves through amendments and agencies like the Freedmen's Bureau amid resistance from Southern states through laws like the Black Codes.
The Civil War began shortly after Southern states seceded from the Union. The first major battle was at Bull Run in Virginia, which resulted in a Confederate victory. This showed that the war would be long and bloody.
