This presentation covers the implications of generative AI for the general user. It also discusses various strategies for protecting one's privacy and confidentiality proactively. Most recently presented and refined for the 2024 AECT International Convention.
This lesson over digital citizenship is a brief overview of the elements of being a good digital citizen, ways our students can better protect themselves online, the lasting effects of a digital footprint, and finally some things that they can do to be a better digital citizen. The information was pulled from a variety of academic resources.
For most of human history, recording a star meant describing it with words or drawing a picture. The 19th-century invention of photography changed that—only to be revolutionized by digital imaging. This Moveable Museum article, available as a six-page printable PDF file, takes a look at the technology of digital imaging. It discusses how digital images are pictures stored as numbers and explains how computer manipulation can enhance images and reduce distortion. Some suggested resources are provided for further research.
Digital Scholarship and Data Science Essentials for Library Professionals is an open and collaboratively curated training reference resource. It aims to make it easier for LIBER library professionals to gain a concise overview of the new technologies that underpin digital scholarship and data science practice in research libraries today, and find trusted training materials recommendations to start their professional learning journey.
Students explore the concept of optical character recognition (OCR) in a problem-solving environment. They research OCR and OCR techniques and then apply those methods to the design challenge by developing algorithms capable of correctly "reading" a number on a typical high school sports scoreboard. Students use the structure of the engineering design process to guide them to develop successful algorithms. In the associated activity, student groups implement, test and revise their algorithms. This software design lesson/activity set is designed to be part of a Java programming class.
Testing is critical to any design, whether the creation of new software or a bridge across a wide river. Despite risking the quality of the design, the testing stage is often hurried in order to get products to market. In this lesson, students focus on the testing phase of the software/systems design process. They start by exploring existing examples of program testing using the CodingBat website, which contains a series of problems and challenges that students solve using the Java programming language. Working in teams, students practice writing test cases for other groups' code, and then write test cases for a program before writing the program itself.
Formar entornos de aprendizaje (PLE), es todo un desafío para los docentes en la actualidad con el empleo de las Tecnologías de la Información y Comunicación (TIC), los jóvenes de hoy viven y se desarrollan en un ambiente cibernético conectado en una red espacial, en el que solo con deslizar la pantalla les permite traspasar la frontera
In this video from Science City, meet Eduardo Torres-Jara, a postdoctoral associate in electrical engineering and computer science at the MIT Artificial Intelligence Lab. He describes his work on innovative robots that use tactile feedback to locate and grasp objects.
Students are introduced to the concepts of digital organisms and digital evolution. They learn about the research that digital evolution software makes possible, and compare and contrast it with biological evolution.
This lesson gives suggestions related to the protection of the environment. The content is appropriate for secondary school students and adults. The lesson plan includes a handout and a presentation and some web 2 tools such as padlet,wordwall,mentimeter,Canva,answergarden.

Using the LEGO® NXT robotics kit, students construct and program robots to illustrate and explore the Fibonacci sequence. Within teams, students are assigned roles: group leader, chassis builder, arm builder, chief programmer, and Fibonacci verifier. By designing a robot that moves based on the Fibonacci sequence of numbers, they can better visualize how quickly the numbers in the sequence grow. To program the robot to move according to these numbers, students break down the sequence into simple algebraic equations so that the computer can understand the Fibonacci sequence.
Students design and create flow charts for the MIT App Inventor tutorials in this computer science activity about program analysis. In program analysis, which is based on determining the behavior of computer programs, flow charts are an important tool for tracing control flow. Control flow is a graphical representation of the logic present in a program and how the program works. Students work through tutorials, design and create flow charts about how the tutorials function, and present their findings to the class. In their final assessment, they create an additional flow chart for an advanced App Inventor tutorial. This activity prepares students with the knowledge and skills to use App Inventor in the future to design and create Android applications.

European green crabs (Carcinus maenas) are considered to be one of the world’s worst invasive species. In 2021, the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW), tribes, and partners identified an exponential increase of invasive European green crabs in areas on Washington’s outer coast. The crabs' invasion poses a growing threat to Washington’s economic, environmental, and cultural resources. Unfortunately, experts believe European green crabs will never be fully eradicated due to large populations in neighboring states.
Throughout this unit, students will explore why European green crabs are such a concerning invasive species, how they may impact the biodiversity of Washington’s estuaries, and what options are available for controlling their population. Perhaps most importantly, students will understand how they can help by learning how to identify and report European green crabs to support efforts to control them and limit their harm.
In this unit students will:
Develop a model of how European green crabs are a threat to estuary ecosystems.
Describe what an estuary is and learn about other organisms who live there.
Make predictions of what will happen to an estuary food web with the introduction of European green crabs.
Observe normal population fluctuations in a healthy estuary ecosystem over time.
Simulate the effects of the introduction of European green crabs to a healthy estuary ecosystem.
Evaluate the methods considered to control the populations of European green crabs in Washington state.
This mini unit is designed to be able to stand alone, or to supplement OpenSci Ed unit 7.5 Ecosystem Dynamics: “How does changing an ecosystem affect what lives there?”. To ensure this unit is easily implemented, the unit has been designed to replicate the processes and procedures utilized by OpenSci Ed.
Here it is a guideline created by the Digitool team to create your own video tutorial. First, decide what type of video tutorials you want to create, and then it’s time to start building the first one! Every tutorial should go through four steps: brainstorming, scriptwriting, recording, and editing.
