An introduction to the use of technology in the classroom, targeted specifically for primary education, but applicable across all levels. The presentation was created as an interactive lesson using NEARPOD and used in March 2019 for an ERASMUS+ Joint Staff Training Event at the GC School of Careers, in Nicosia, Cyprus.
The document summarizes the experience of two librarians, Virginia Cairns and Lane Wilkinson, teaching a one-credit course on emerging technologies and social media called "Beyond Facebook" at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. They offered the course twice, with different structures and assessments each time, to help students learn how to use technologies like Flickr, blogs, and digital portfolios. Key lessons included the need for clear copyright guidance, addressing students' over-reliance on passive internet and social media use, and providing technical support for basic computer and web skills. Student feedback showed the value of hands-on learning and expanded offerings to more upper-level students.

The document discusses the use of social media in schools. It argues that social media can engage students in accessible, personalized learning. Some key benefits include opening up the world of education, minimizing isolation, and building cultural understanding. Popular social media platforms that can be used in schools include blogs, websites, Twitter, and Facebook. The document also discusses challenges of introducing social media in schools, such as access concerns, ensuring alignment with policies, and the time required. Overall, the document makes the case that social media can be a valuable teaching tool if the right structures are put in place to monitor content and behavior.
Using Twitter and PLNs teach students to conceptualize, think, and write in 140 characters. Formatively assess students and reteach them to customize learning and ensure competence. This session will use tech tools to implement Common Core Standards, thereby meeting the "deliberate, fewer, clearer and higher" articulated skill set students need.
This document discusses how Twitter was used to increase student engagement at Kendall College. Faced with a challenge of low retention rates, the college implemented a "Twitter experiment" across 13 hashtags and 10 professors. Students were prompted to do research, connect with industry leaders, and share ideas to engage with each other and faculty. Results showed that Twitter helped affirm student knowledge through interactions like followers, retweets and replies. While technical issues arose, overall Twitter was found to be a useful engagement tool when implemented properly with training for students and faculty. The document provides recommendations and resources for others wanting to integrate Twitter into their classes.
The document describes a study on using Twitter for academic writing instruction. Over 3 semesters, the researcher implemented Twitter in advanced writing courses and collected student feedback and data. Based on the findings, the researcher refined the instructional design to better support constructivist and experiential learning principles. Key revisions included providing more training on using Twitter, implementing structured assignment types that required higher-order thinking, and facilitating greater interaction and resource sharing within student networks on Twitter. The researcher concluded that Twitter has potential to enhance writing instruction by enabling authentic practice and feedback within large online communities.
Exactly what is social media and how do we use it to connect to the new tech-savvy generation of students? Bridge the generational gap of LOLs, emojis, and hashtags and sort out how the ever-expanding world of social media can be used to your advantage.

The document summarizes labor market trends in Virginia and the Roanoke Valley region from 1999-2014. It finds that while Virginia has experienced a labor shortage, real wages have remained stagnant. The Roanoke Valley specifically has seen real wages fall over time and lag behind the rest of Virginia. Current data shows labor shortages in both Virginia and the Roanoke Valley, which may put upward pressure on wages going forward. The document also projects growing employment in various occupations in the Roanoke region by 2020.
This document discusses consumer sentiment in Virginia based on surveys conducted by the Institute for Policy and Opinion Research (IPOR). It provides details on IPOR's survey methodology and presents data on how Virginians view their current and future financial situations compared to a year ago. The data shows that in February 2014, 29% felt better off financially currently compared to a year ago while 28% felt worse off. Looking ahead a year, 37% expected to be better off while 13% expected to be worse off. It also presents index data for Virginia measuring current conditions, expectations, and overall sentiment, which were all up compared to previous months and years.

The Impact of Work Stress and Digital Literacy on Employee Performance at PT ...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT :This research aims to analyze the correlation between employee work stress and digital literacy
with employee performance at PT Telkom Akses Area Cirebon, both concurrently and partially. Employing a
quantitative approach, the study's objectives are descriptive and causal, adopting a positivist paradigm with a
deductive approach to theory development and a survey research strategy. Findings reveal that work stress
negatively and significantly impacts employee performance, while digital literacy positively and significantly
affects it. Simultaneously, work stress and digital literacy have a positive and significant influence on employee
performance. It is anticipated that company management will devise workload management strategies to
alleviate work stress and assess the implementation of more efficient digital technology to enhance employee
performance.

Factors affecting undergraduate students’ motivation at a university in Tra VinhAJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: Motivation plays an important role in foreign language learning process. This study aimed to
investigate student’s motivation patterns towards English language learning at a University in Tra Vinh, and factors
affecting their motivation change toward English language learning of non-English-major students in the semester.
The researcher used semi-structured interview at the first phase of choosing the participants and writing reflection
through the instrument called “My English Learning Motivation History” adapted from Sawyer (2007) to collect
qualitative data within 15 weeks. The participants consisted of nine first year non-English-major students who learning
General English at pre-intermediate level. They were chosen and divided into three groups of three members each
(high motivation group; average motivation group; and low motivation group). The results of the present study
identified six visual motivation patterns of three groups of students with different motivation fluctuation, through the
use of cluster analysis. The study also indicated a diversity of factors affecting students’ motivation involving internal
factors as influencing factors (cognitive, psychology, and emotion) and external factors as social factors (instructor,
peers, family, and learning environment) during English language learning in a period of 15 weeks. The findings of
the study helped teacher understand relationship of motivation change and its influential factors. Furthermore, the
findings also inspired next research about motivation development in learning English process.
KEY WORDS: language learning motivation, motivation change, motivation patterns, influential factors, students’
motivation.
