The document discusses the history and development of telecommunication technologies from the 19th century invention of the telegraph to modern computer networks and satellites. It notes that meteorology as a field has been studied for millennia, but significant progress occurred in the 18th century with observing networks and in the 20th century with the development of computers allowing for weather forecasting breakthroughs. Key technologies discussed include packet switching networks, satellites used for point-to-point communication services and broadcasting, and definitions of bandwidth and digital bandwidth.
State of Florida: Possible EDU Technology Modernization Delaybegreatacademy
The State of Florida may fail to meet its 2014 educational technology modernization goals due to budget shortfalls. The Department of Education requested $442 million for technology upgrades, including $239 million for wireless infrastructure, but the Governor's budget only allocated $100 million. This will likely delay implementing new standards if the technology is not ready by fall 2014.
Mark Lee is the CEO of a Singapore-based startup and president of the MIT Club of Central Florida. He presents on sharing Singapore's education expertise globally through initiatives like Startup Weekend EDU events. These events bring together educators from different locations to collaborate on education innovations. The Gates Foundation has pledged $250,000 in support. Google also supports Startup Weekend, including the education vertical. Lee outlines initial steps taken to plan a global Startup Weekend EDU event with sites in Orlando, Helsinki, and Singapore.
Haiti suffers from problems of deforestation and lack of clean drinking water. Deforestation results from people chopping down trees for charcoal to fuel cooking stoves. Solar cookers could help solve these problems by providing a way for people to cook without charcoal, saving trees and freeing up women's time. Solar cookers use the sun's energy to cook and can also pasteurize water, preventing water-borne diseases. Distributing solar cookers in Haiti could help address deforestation and lack of clean water in a sustainable way.
This document proposes hosting a global education startup weekend to foster innovation in education by learning from successful models in other countries like Finland and Singapore. It would involve physical startup weekend events being held simultaneously in locations like Orlando, Helsinki, and Singapore, with participants from each location collaborating remotely on interdisciplinary teams. The goals are to solicit funding for this collaborative global event model from organizations like Google and the Gates Foundation, and have an initial kickoff meeting on November 17th to form a volunteer team to organize the first US event in Orlando.
