Programming For the Young and the Yount at Heart
Scratch is a programming language developed by MIT for children ages 8 and up to learn programming concepts in a fun, creative way through making games, animations and interactive stories. It uses reusable blocks and objects to piece together code without syntax errors, providing an accessible introduction to concepts like logic and troubleshooting. The language is designed to have a low floor for beginners but a high ceiling for more advanced projects.
Jing presentation
Jing is a visual communication tool that allows users to easily capture and share screenshots and videos from their computer screen. It has both free and paid Pro versions. The free version allows users to record up to 5 minutes of screencasts and annotate screenshots. The Pro version offers additional features like removing the Jing branding and uploading videos directly to YouTube. Jing makes it simple to demonstrate tasks, provide feedback, and explain concepts visually. Users can save, email, or upload their Jing captures to sites like Screencast.com to easily share them with others.
Screencasting
This document discusses screencasting techniques and applications. It defines screencasting as capturing screen activity and audio commentary as a video. Screencasting allows demonstrating processes, presentations, software usage, and more. It has benefits like being easier and allowing re-viewing compared to only explanations. Popular screencasting software includes free options like CamStudio and paid options like Camtasia. Successful screencasting requires preparation like finding a quiet space, using a microphone, and possibly scripting. It can be used for many purposes in education like demonstrations, mini-lectures, and feedback.
Apps for Teaching and Learning
This document introduces various apps that can be used for teaching and learning, including iBooks, folders to organize apps, and drawing, ebook, and mapping apps. It provides examples of how these apps can be used for activities in different subject areas like recording lessons, polling students, creating presentations and tutorials. It also lists resources on the RSC Moodle site related to accessibility, flipped learning, and a JISC RSC toolbox for loaning educational technology tools.
Technology for Online Teaching: Web 2.0
This document provides information and recommendations about various technologies that can be used for online teaching. It discusses how technology enables online classes but should not be the sole focus, and recommends Web 2.0 tools that allow users to perform advanced tasks easily. Specific websites and tools are recommended for finding images, conducting video chats, creating and editing audio and video files, building narrated PowerPoints, conducting polls, and sharing content.
Call
Computer-assisted language learning (CALL) uses computer technology to aid in the presentation, reinforcement, and assessment of language material. Early CALL focused on programmed instruction, while more recent terms like technology-enhanced language learning emerged. Typical CALL programs present a stimulus for the learner to respond to, and provide feedback. While early CALL focused mainly on technology, pedagogical considerations are now important to effectively integrate computers into language learning. Common CALL tools include commercial software, the world wide web, presentation software, and authoring software to create exercises.

The document compares and contrasts word documents and movie/video files as technological artifacts used for teaching and learning. Word documents allow for written content but rely on visual reading, while movies/videos provide visual and audio content that can engage more types of learners. Both have advantages for certain situations depending on the learning objectives and audience. Overall, more options for self-expression in education are beneficial as technologies continue advancing.
Planning Multimedia
Interactive multimedia involves integrating various media types such as text, sound, graphics, animation and video into a single interactive unit. Designing interactive multimedia requires considering who the users are, where it will be used, and ensuring the interface is easy to use. Developing interactive multimedia generally involves determining goals and needs, learning the content, brainstorming ideas, storyboarding, flowcharting, detailed design, programming, producing support materials, evaluation and revision. It is usually a team effort involving specialists in areas like graphic design, programming, production, project management, writing, and media design.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing Days
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
HCL Notes and Domino License Cost Reduction in the World of DLAU
Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/hcl-notes-and-domino-license-cost-reduction-in-the-world-of-dlau/
The introduction of DLAU and the CCB & CCX licensing model caused quite a stir in the HCL community. As a Notes and Domino customer, you may have faced challenges with unexpected user counts and license costs. You probably have questions on how this new licensing approach works and how to benefit from it. Most importantly, you likely have budget constraints and want to save money where possible. Don’t worry, we can help with all of this!
We’ll show you how to fix common misconfigurations that cause higher-than-expected user counts, and how to identify accounts which you can deactivate to save money. There are also frequent patterns that can cause unnecessary cost, like using a person document instead of a mail-in for shared mailboxes. We’ll provide examples and solutions for those as well. And naturally we’ll explain the new licensing model.
Join HCL Ambassador Marc Thomas in this webinar with a special guest appearance from Franz Walder. It will give you the tools and know-how to stay on top of what is going on with Domino licensing. You will be able lower your cost through an optimized configuration and keep it low going forward.
These topics will be covered
- Reducing license cost by finding and fixing misconfigurations and superfluous accounts
- How do CCB and CCX licenses really work?
- Understanding the DLAU tool and how to best utilize it
- Tips for common problem areas, like team mailboxes, functional/test users, etc
- Practical examples and best practices to implement right away

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
