The document is about a 16-year-old named Maximilian Pearsall. He has two brothers and a sister and attends a technical high school for automotive technology. His interests include the military, cars, airsoft, and hanging out with friends. His goal is to become a mechanic. In 10 years, the document predicts Maximilian will have graduated high school and served 8 years in the Marine Corps, currently in the reserves while attending NASCAR school. He values being determined, respectful, trustworthy, and truthful, and wants to lead a happy life with no regrets.
This document discusses implementing mobile devices like iPads in the classroom. It compares different mobile devices and explores apps that support instructional goals like increasing skills in math, reading, engagement and meeting diverse learner needs. The document discusses using iPads versus other devices and considerations for BYOD programs. It provides examples of apps for activities like storytelling, games, creating presentations and more. It emphasizes that technology trials may not go as planned and require perseverance.
The document discusses best practices for assessing student learning outcomes at the institutional level. It outlines a six-step process for faculty to work through to identify, prioritize, define, map, measure, and analyze learning outcomes. Key aspects of good assessment include using results to inform decisions, having a focus on important goals, active stakeholder participation, communicating results widely, and ensuring results are used fairly and ethically. Regional accrediting bodies outline five principles for institutions around defining learning missions, documenting student learning against standards, compiling evidence from multiple sources, and involving stakeholders in the assessment process.
The document summarizes the origins and history of the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications (IMA) and the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Strathclyde. It discusses how the IMA was formed in the 1960s based on proposals from Prof. M. J. Lighthill and a committee. It also describes how the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Strathclyde evolved from its origins in the late 18th century through mergers and renaming, with Prof. Donald Pack playing a key role in expanding it after joining in 1953. Pictures show the changing composition of the Department over time from the 1980s to 2011.

What is Effective Technology Integration for 21st Century Learners?Jessica Watson
油
The document discusses effective technology integration for 21st century learners. It states that technology should be used to teach content, motivate critical thinking, problem solving, and evaluation. Technology can be integrated effectively by using it for research, organization, evaluation and communication, as well as applying ethical and legal guidelines. Teachers decide how technology is used and should set student guidelines. Some simple ways to integrate technology mentioned are SMART Boards, presentations using tools like PowerPoint and Prezi, and blogging using sites like edublogs.org and blogger.com.

This document provides an outline and overview of cloud computing research conducted by Sand Hill Group. It discusses how cloud computing is a disruptive innovation that levels the playing field for small companies. The document analyzes the current state and future outlook of the cloud market, including predictions that 40% of workloads will be in the cloud within 3 years. It also covers implications of cloud computing for customers and vendors, including how it changes IT operations and business models. Key cloud service models like Infrastructure as a Service, Platform as a Service, and Software as a Service are discussed.
The document provides enrollment data and program enhancements for the West Allegheny School District from 2005 to present. McKee, Wilson, and Donaldson elementary schools have seen fluctuating but overall stable enrollment totals between 420-550 students each year. The high school enrollment has increased slightly from 996 students in 2004 to 1036 in 2011. New programs introduced include expanded advanced placement courses, literacy and math intervention programs, and curriculum revisions. Professional development for teachers has focused on standards alignment, assessment, and instructional strategies. The district faces funding challenges due to state budget cuts disproportionately impacting public education.
1. Communities of practice are groups of people who share a profession, interest or skill. They develop personally and professionally through sharing experiences and information.
2. Early research found that learning occurs through legitimate peripheral participation in a community. Members evolve from newcomers to experts through social participation.
3. Successful communities of practice have individuals who actively share information and experiences. They foster social interaction and collaboration to improve skills and productivity.
The document discusses alternatives to traditional glass packaging for wine. It provides background on wine production and consumption statistics in South Africa as well as an overview of legal requirements related to packaging. A variety of alternative packaging materials are examined, including PET bottles, Tetra Pak cartons, aluminium cans, bag-in-box, and pouches. The document concludes with recommendations for South African wine producers regarding packaging.
Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) allows for low power communication between devices. BLE devices are typically powered by button cell batteries and have operating ranges of less than 40 meters. BLE is designed for low cost, low power consumption, and high deployment volumes for uses like the Internet of Things and personal area networks. The document discusses BLE architecture, usage models, services and characteristics that devices provide to communicate functionality, and the iOS Core Bluetooth framework for communicating with BLE devices from iOS apps. It provides demos of using an iPhone as a BLE peripheral and connecting to BLE devices like a key fob simulator and heart rate monitor.
