The document discusses creating a literate environment for students. It emphasizes getting to know students through assessments, selecting texts that interest students and are at their reading level, and using interactive, critical, and response perspectives in literacy instruction. For instruction, the interactive perspective teaches reading strategies while the critical and response perspectives encourage students to discuss, interpret, and evaluate texts. The goal is to produce students who can effectively read, discuss, and think critically about what they read. Non-cognitive and cognitive assessments help teachers understand students' interests, skills, and needs.

Agile Australia 2014: Keynote - Embracing Disruption: You are your processAgile Aus
?
This document discusses how to improve knowledge work processes through visualization and limiting work-in-process (WIP). It advocates using visual boards and controls to make work visible, facilitate flow, normalize estimates, and provide real-time feedback. This approach respects the natural variation of knowledge work while promoting shared understanding and double-loop learning. The author argues that canned or constrained systems stifle innovation, while minimal visual systems that promote flow and limit WIP can support both complexity and flexibility in knowledge work.
The document discusses accessibility standards for websites, including legislative standards in countries like Australia, the UK, and UN standards. It outlines specific user groups like those with visual impairments, deafness, dyslexia, and cognitive disabilities, and their unique accessibility needs. Examples of checklists are provided to evaluate accessibility for auditory/visual impairments and cognitive disabilities.

This document introduces crowd funding and a new shared crowd funding platform. It explains that crowd funding has grown significantly in recent years, reaching $5.1 billion in 2013 and over $10 billion in 2014. Traditional crowd funding websites charge fees and require individuals to do their own marketing. The new shared platform uses a donation distribution formula based on multiplication rather than addition to help projects receive more funding. It provides an example of how one person was able to raise over $100,000 for their project through referrals on this platform. The document encourages individuals to join the platform for free to fund their own projects and help others do the same.

1. The slides should provide a straightforward overview of the purpose, principles, example slides, and conclusion.
2. Each slide needs a clear statement of purpose that explains why the work is valuable and why the audience should care.
3. When presenting background work, only include one or two crucial elements and briefly describe them for a broad audience.
4. Use simple, consistent, and legible visuals like charts and graphs to clearly convey one main point per slide. Always properly label and format visuals.
