The document discusses the 7Cs framework for learning design proposed by Gráinne Conole. It outlines characteristics of new media technologies and their implications for learning, teaching and research. Some key points include: new technologies allow for peer critiquing, user-generated content, and networked and personalized learning. However, their potential is not fully realized as existing pedagogies are often replicated without taking advantage of new opportunities. The 7Cs framework - conceptualize, create, communicate, consume, collaborate, contribute, and critique - provides a design-based approach that encourages reflective practices and sharing. It can help educators harness new technologies while rethinking design, support and assessment of learning.
The document discusses the 7Cs of learning design proposed by Gráinne Conole. The 7Cs include: conceptualize, capture, communicate, collaborate, consider, consolidate, and continue. Conole outlines how new technologies have led to more open, social, and participatory approaches to learning. However, replicating old pedagogies with new tools does not fully leverage their potential. The learning design process emphasizes explicit design methods and sharing of practices. It encourages reflecting on how to harness new technologies and resources while rethinking support and assessment of learning.

It then discusses professional learning for leaders to develop understanding of emerging technologies. Schools are supported through financial advice, technical advice, and professional learning for classrooms. Research shows benefits to learning when schools have strong ICT opportunities. The document advocates that technology be provided to every student and teacher as it has become essential to modern life. The goal is an education revolution enabled by ubiquitous access to technology.
VITTA12 Sandhurst 1:1 The Teaching & Learningmackas
The document compares classrooms with normal computer access versus 1:1 computer access. With 1:1 access, each student has their own computer, providing unlimited access. This reduces the role of servers and printer use. The focus shifts from publishing and research to creativity, collaboration, communication, reflection and sharing. Tasks are emailed or downloaded rather than printed and handed out.
The document provides an overview of the Sandhurst 1:1 Education Revolution initiative. It discusses the importance of professional learning for leaders, teachers, students, and the development of online spaces to support learning. It also addresses the necessary technology infrastructure, setup support, and defines the user's role in maintaining the devices. Financial considerations are examined, including funding models for primary and secondary schools. Details of online resources and contacts are provided at the end.
Presentation on where do secondary schools see ICT and the potential for it in schools. Presented at Victorian Catholic Secondary Teaching and Learning Conference, August 2011
The document discusses various tools provided by Google that can be used for more than just web searching. It describes tools for collaboration like Docs, Maps, Calendar, and Sites that allow multiple users to work together on documents, spreadsheets, presentations, maps, calendars, and websites. It also mentions tools for organizing information like Reader, Books, and News that allow aggregating feeds, searching books and magazines, and tracking news stories.

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.
