  • Critical Questions How can technology help you personalize learning? How can technology engage multiple intelligences? How can technology bridge the digital divide in K-12 settings? How can technology assist the unique learner? How can technology be used to simultaneously deepen student understanding and accelerate student achievement standards? Possible Actions Encourage students to use the web as a research tool on a topic of great personal interest. Give parameters for the expected product, but let the student emerge as chief designer. Review your favorite on-line educational game or activity. List the intelligences a student would have to tap to do well. Create a multiple intelligence rubric for the piece. Create an extended learning program which focuses on on-line learning activities that could be used to "reteach" skills which students missed in class. Identify software/on-line learning activities which can be used to accommodate a learner with unique learning capacities. Choose one state standard relevant to your teaching and have each student create a problem which requires the performance of that standard. Use the web to find the resources to solve the problem.

  •     Saves on travel costs e.g. conference calls over face-to-face meetings·       Saves time with reduced travel, good for working efficiency and work-life balance·       Brings groups of people together from all over the world who could not normally communicate·       Allows you (email) to manage your time and communicate what you want to when you want to rather than having someone drop into the office and interrupt you·       Enables (email again) higher quality communication with all the facts clearly presented in black and white without emotion in an email - at least potentially·       Increase communication flow and supports social networking and knowledge management in organisations e.g. company blogs and wikis ·       Reduces wasted time (people tend to digress and interrupt less in telephone conferences) in meetings

  • On Wednesday, January 18, 2006, the U.S. Justice Department filed a motion to compel in United States district court in San Jose seeking a court order that would compel search engine company Google Inc. to turn over, "a multi-stage random sample of one million URL’s", from Google’s database, and a computer file with, "the text of each search string entered onto Google’s search engine over a one-week period (absent any information identifying the person who entered such query)."[68] Google maintains that their policy has always been to assure its users privacy and anonymity, and challenged the subpoena. On March 18, 2006, a federal judge ruled that while Google must surrender 50,000 random URLs, the Department of Justice did not meet the necessary burden to force Google to disclose any search terms entered by its users

    "Google began in March 1996 as a research project by Larry Page and Sergey Brin, Ph.D. students at Stanford[1] working on the Stanford Digital Library Project (SDLP). The SDLP's goal was "to develop the enabling technologies for a single, integrated and universal digital library." and was funded through the National Science Foundation among other federal agencies"

  • "This project is proving that it is possible to interconnect many schools simultaneously," said Beyers.

Outsourcing mcahs-diigo flatclassroomproject

shared by tommy s on 18 Oct 11 - No Cached
  • Return on assets: By reducing the not-insignificant investments, profits can improve significantly through outsourcing. Personnel productivity: By concentrating on the core business, it is possible to enhance the productivity of employees. Flexibility: The use of a service provider divides the risk and reduces the losses from changing market demands or outdated facilities and equipment. Labor considerations: Delicate labor union issues of day-to-day can be avoided, though employees need to deal with employee dissatisfaction arising from outsourcing. Management and Political considerations: Outsourcing eases managing the basic business since the logistics and most distribution problems are dealt with by service providers. Information technology: The ever-increasing demand for new technologies and resources often can be met more efficiently and economically. Maturity of the Service providers: In today’s world, an integrated logistics service provider is a dynamic firm, with highly qualified employees and utilizes a winning combination of efficient techniques.
  • Gone are the days when banks used to conduct their business before the lobbies closed at 3:30 in the afternoon. Today’s fast paced world coupled with a demanding market place a premium on 24/7 banking services. Banks that provide round-the-clock availability of services find it  more feasible to outsource part of the customer service rather than double the number of employees. Ninety percent of new banks choose to outsource and there is high likelihood of this figure increasing in the long-term

  • CompuServe's
  • Simply put, the Web can do the information superhighway thing better than any on-line service. Heads up, Mac managers. All those WAN service projects you have stalled because you couldn't afford to build your own WAN infrastructure and were afraid to trust AOL's and CompuServe's just became doable. Put them on the front burner now. Here's why.

  • Internet and the World-Wide Web will kill on-line services by making them unnecessary
  • Information Superhighway
  • Web servers and communications applications must be built with available tools, requiring a substantial commitment of company resources and experienced staff
  • investment will pay off
  • computing infrastructure is largely transparent and highly distributed
  • Web users don't have to pay for this infrastructure directly, nor are they penalized for trying to access it at the highest possible bandwidth.
  • nearly free
  • You could make operational or interface changes whenever you desired and not have to worry about propagating them through an on-line service's restricted forum-management tools.

    "Mobile technology is exactly what the name implies - technology that is portable. Examples of mobile IT devices include: laptop and netbook computers palmtop computers or personal digital assistants mobile phones and 'smart phones' global positioning system (GPS) devices wireless debit/credit card payment terminals Mobile devices can be enabled to use a variety of communications technologies such as: wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) - a type of wireless local area network technology Bluetooth - connects mobile devices wirelessly 'third generation' (3G), global system for mobile communications (GSM) and general packet radio service (GPRS) data services - data networking services for mobile phones dial-up services - data networking services using modems and telephone lines virtual private networks - secure access to a private network It is therefore possible to network the mobile device to a home office or the internet while travelling. Benefits Mobile computing can improve the service you offer your customers. For example, when meeting with customers you could access your customer relationship management system - over the internet - allowing you to update customer details whilst away from the office. Alternatively, you can enable customers to pay for services or goods without having to go to the till. For example, by using a wireless payment terminal diners can pay for their meal without leaving their table. More powerful solutions can link you directly into the office network while working off site, for instance to access your database or accounting systems. For example, you could: set up a new customer's account check prices and stock availability place an order online This leads to great flexibility in working - for example, enabling home working, or working while travelling. Increasingly, networking 'hot spots' are being provided in public areas that allow connection back to the office network or the internet.
