This document discusses how emojis, emoticons, and text speak can be used to teach students. It provides background on the origins of emoticons in 1982 as ways to convey tone and feelings in text communications. It then suggests that with text speak and emojis, students can translate, decode, summarize, play with language, and add emotion to language. A number of websites and apps that can be used for emoji-related activities, lessons, and discussions are also listed.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is everywhere, promising self-driving cars, medical breakthroughs, and new ways of working. But how do you separate hype from reality? How can your company apply AI to solve real business problems?
Here’s what AI learnings your business should keep in mind for 2017.
Study: The Future of VR, AR and Self-Driving CarsLinkedIn
Ìý
We asked LinkedIn members worldwide about their levels of interest in the latest wave of technology: whether they’re using wearables, and whether they intend to buy self-driving cars and VR headsets as they become available. We asked them too about their attitudes to technology and to the growing role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the devices that they use. The answers were fascinating – and in many cases, surprising.
This ºÝºÝߣShare explores the full results of this study, including detailed market-by-market breakdowns of intention levels for each technology – and how attitudes change with age, location and seniority level. If you’re marketing a tech brand – or planning to use VR and wearables to reach a professional audience – then these are insights you won’t want to miss.
The document discusses the current status and future of IPv6 adoption globally. It notes that IPv4 address pools are running out, but IPv6 adoption rates remain low worldwide, ranging from 3-18% depending on the region. Several countries have introduced regulations to encourage IPv6 deployment by telecom providers and government agencies, but enforcement and actual deployment still lag in most places. In Israel specifically, IPv6 training courses have begun but actual services and websites with IPv6 support are still rare due to various technical and economic challenges. Overall, stronger drivers are needed to overcome barriers and spur full transition to IPv6 protocols.
Oasis Communication Technologies is an expert in IPv6 deployment based on their experience implementing IPv6 networks for various clients over many years. They discuss three case studies: an early dual-stack deployment for IGLD, a global IPv6 rollout for PCCW Global using 6PE, and a customer deployment for Xfone 018. They also discuss lessons learned, including that the core network is simple but access networks are complex, addressing design is challenging, and that lack of IPv6-enabled content and customer equipment readiness are major barriers to adoption.
The document discusses the importance of IPv6 training for IT staff. It states that IPv6 knowledge is lacking and is a limiting factor for IPv6 implementation. It recommends that IPv6 training should be provided to all IT staff across an organization, from technicians to CIOs, and cover topics like networking, security, and platform-specific courses. It provides examples of introductory and advanced technical courses covering topics like addressing, routing, and security. It also outlines steps to build an IPv6 training plan, including designating an IPv6 manager, forming a core training team, setting up an IPv6 lab, and conducting hands-on training activities.
SASS is a CSS preprocessor that allows for nesting, variables, mixins and other advanced features to make CSS more powerful, modular, and maintainable. Compass is a SASS extension library and framework that provides additional tools like sprite generation, selector inheritance and clean markup. While SASS and Compass can save significant time by making CSS development easier, their documentation is not always clear and configuration can be tricky, though they provide a relatively easy learning curve overall.
The document discusses the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), an international community that develops open standards to ensure the long-term growth of the Web. It notes that W3C works to create standards through open collaboration among its members in over 60 working groups. The document outlines how W3C standards like HTML5 are transforming technology and driving innovation across industries by creating a common platform for development. It invites organizations to get involved through membership, sponsorships, and participation to help advance the open Web.
The document discusses HTML5 and its benefits for government organizations. It states that HTML5 is the future of the web, allows web apps to work offline and store local data, enables device-aware features, improves connectivity efficiency, incorporates audio and video natively, and renders visuals in the browser. HTML5 also improves accessibility across devices and platforms for users. The document advocates that government organizations can use HTML5 to develop digital services once and reach multiple devices and platforms, improving access to information and services for citizens.
The document outlines the tenets of open government as transparency, civic participation, and accountability. It discusses objectives around strengthening openness, accountability, and civic participation in government through showcasing innovations from both developed and developing countries. The document also lists many countries that participate in open government initiatives and describes several open government programs and policies around information transparency, public resource management, and civic participation.
6. HTML5 For VPs

7. HTML 5 – in 1 min
1. Vision: Runtime environments (like Flash, Java J2ME/MIDP,
Silverlight).
• No downloads, in the browser.
2. W3C stewardship -- integrating a lot of work into common
platform (e.g., SVG, CSS, HTML, JavaScript) – stewardship.
3. Growing support
• Google, Microsoft, Opera, Firefox, Apple Safari.
4. Promise
– New elements build in – video.
– Easy of deployment: web, TV, mobile.
– The rise of SVG, Canvas: HTML for graphics (The no-flash Iphone
example).
– Keyboard Input
– Off line (like Google gears).
www.w3c.org.il 7
8. HTML 5 Design Principles
1. Support existing content
• Maintain prior investment.
2. Ensure interoperability
• Web, Mobile, Many browsers.
• Difference between format and engine (flash example).
3. Precisely define browser behavior
• Example: how “table†or “form†should act.
• Detailed specs for the outcome.
4. Handle errors (non-draconically)
• Today 90% of the web is not “correctâ€
• So… we support graceful dealing with errors.
5. Evolution not revolution
• Keep the past.
• Enable the future.
www.w3c.org.il 8
9. History
• 1989 – First HTML idea.
• 1994 – W3C founded.
• 1995 – HTML 2.
• 1998 – HTML 4.
• ~~ XHTML (now part of HTML) [dark ages]
• 2007 – Start New HTML working group.
• 2009 (now) – Mature HTML 5 [600 pages].
– Example working: video. Canvas.
– Rate of acceptance is scary! (too fast for us).
• 2011 – Final HTML 5.
www.w3c.org.il 9
10. Forms
• Less JavaScript more built-
in items.
– <input type="date> and no
code.
www.w3c.org.il 10
13. More abilities
• drag-and-drop
• Geolocation API
• Accesskey
• Spellcheck (one can ask for
spellcheck).
<textarea spellcheck="false"> <textarea spellcheck="true">
www.w3c.org.il 13
14. Supporters
There is a value for the different players as market share is now divided.
They will compete:
• Speed.
• Added value (like bookmarks, addons).
• Stability.
• BUT keep the standard look & feel.

15. What should I do?
1. Follow the updates and changes [where].
2. Examine sites with several browsers.
3. Use HTML 5 in internal/external marketing.
4. Use validators [where, what?].
5. Remember – web is progressing from
showing information – to an operating
system that run applications and services. As
W3C calls it: “open web platformâ€
