Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
2. Overview
● A Few Things to Keep in Mind
● Teaching the Concept of Twitter to
Elementary Students
● Using Twitter for Research
● Twitter as a Communication Tool
● Developing your PLN with Twitter
● Other Twitter Ideas to Look At
4. If you are new to Twitter...
you should consider completing the "Twitter
101" Institute in a Box Workshop first. This
workshop will go over the application of using
Twitter in the classroom. You should already
have the basic knowledge of how Twitter works.
5. Twitter with Students Under
the Age of 13...
Consider using teacher or classroom
accounts rather than individual student
accounts!
http://twitter.com/privacy
6. Choose Your
Username Carefully
Your username is attached to all of your tweets.
So... if you are using the Twitter account
professionally or specifically for a class, choose
a username that the people you are working
with will be able recognize.
For Example: @CantoneClass
8. Hands On Activity One:
Teaching the Concept of Twitter
In elementary classrooms where the age of the
students allows them not to be able to have
their own accounts, the teacher can still
integrate Twitter into the classroom. The
teacher can set up a classroom Twitter account
and model with the students.
Here are two ways...
9. Set Up a Classroom Account...
● Collaborate with students and tweet about
what happens in the classroom
● Tweet reminders about school events,
homework, special projects, due dates, etc.
● Share photos of student work, class events,
etc.
● Post links to online resources for students
and parents
For Example: @CantoneClass
10. Set up an online
"Twitter - Like" chatroom
http://todaysmeet.com/
11. What Can You Do with
Today's Meet?
● Online Discussions
● Great way to teach
summarizing
● Assessment tool
● Exit Slips
12. Using Twitter
for Research

13. Hands On Activity Two:
Using Twitter for Research
You can use Twitter as a research tool. Anyone
is able to search tweets on Twitter without
having an account. Treat it like a Google
search... the results will show you tweets with
hashtags using the keywords, usernames using
the keywords, and content using the keywords.
Let's take a look...
15. Try it Out...
● Type in a keyword to search
twitter
● Use some of the operators to
refine your search
● Search trends
● Search videos and images
http://search.twitter.com
http://twitter.com/#!/search-advanced
16. Conducting a Search for
London Olympics...
When you search,
you can search
tweets, videos, and
images.
These screenshots
show the results of
when I searched
London Olympics.
Try it for yourself...
17. Why Use Twitter Search
in the Classroom?
● Use for studying current events
● Use to find information about a certain topic
● Search a hashtag
● View what is trending
18. Keep this in mind if using
Twitter for
Research...
How to cite a
Tweet....

20. Hands On Activity Three:
Using Twitter to Communicate
Twitter is a great way to increase
communication in your classroom. There are a
lot of ways you can use Twitter to increase
communication with students,
parents/guardians, the community, and the
world at large.
Let's take a look...
22. Communicating With
Students...
● Update students on assignments and school
events
● Share classroom resources with students
● Share links to postings with course content
● Share photos and videos of classroom events
and work
23. Communicating With
Parents/Guardians...
● Update parents/guardians on school events
● Share helpful resources for parents
● Share samples of student work
● Share photos and videos of classroom events
● Organize volunteers
24. Communicating With the
Community...
● Follow local businesses, organizations,
agencies, etc.
● Participate in real world connections with
community members
● Reach out to the community and increase
community involvement
● Ask the community for help and resources to
support learning in the classroom
25. Communicating With the
World At Large...
● Follow experts in your field of study
● Explore popular trends that are being tweeted
● Connect with businesses, organizations,
agencies, etc.
● Find professionals in your area of study to
connect with and share information
For Example... Directory of Tech Experts
27. Hands On Activity Four:
Develop Your PLN
Twitter opens a huge network of educators who
want to share ideas and connect with others. By
joining Twitter as a professional, you can
connect with other educators in your field and
be exposed to a wealth of information and
resources.
Let's take a look...
28. How Twitter Can Be Used
Professionally...
● Share lessons plans
● Share online resources
● Ask for advice
● Connect with other educators
● Learn new things
29. How to get connected...

30. Hashtags - what are they?
#edchat
#k12
#edtech
#flipclass
#ipadchat
#
http://www.novemberlearning.com/twitterhashtags
metadata that helps describe an item and allows it to be found again
by browsing or searching
When you tweet, add a hashtag and
categorize your tweet. Then search for
a hashtag to see what others have to
say about that topic.
