How to Connect Technology and Passion in the Service of LearningThe digital age has vastly expanded people's access to all sorts of information and resources, including educational materials. The Internet has also fostered a new culture of sharing, one in which content is freely contributed and distributed with few restrictions. Indeed, the latest evolution of the Internet, Web 2.0, is creating a new kind of participatory medium that is ideal for encouraging multiple types of learning. Web 2.0 has blurred the line between producers and consumers of content and has shifted attention from access to information toward access to other people. New kinds of online resources — social-networking sites, blogs, wikis, and virtual communities — have allowed people with common interests to meet, share ideas, and collaborate in innovative ways.
Two of those ways involve social learning, based on the premise that our understanding of content is socially constructed, through conversations about that content and through interactions around problems or actions. The focus is not so much on what we learn as on how we learn. In addition, social learning concerns not only "learning about" the subject matter but also "learning to be" full participants in the field. That involves acquiring the practices and norms of established practitioners in that field or acculturating into a community of practice, such as an open-source community, where you are required to assimilate the sensibilities and ways of seeing the world embodied within that community.
That culture of sharing and participation usually starts with the students themselves, as we see vividly in the complex, multiplayer gameMaking Life Easier with Templates and StylesSeasoned Microsoft Office users may be familiar with both templates and styles; in Office, they’re a key to increased productivity. However, many Office users never touch them. In OOo, styles and templates are even more important than in Office, and wise users will become familiar with both the concepts and the details of using them.
What is a style?
A style is a group of formatting characteristics gathered together and given a name. Styles offer a number of advantages. First, they make it easy to apply the same formatting to different parts of a document; just use the same style. Second, they make it easy to change formatting uniformly; change the formatting of the style and everything using that style changes. Finally, because you can save styles in templates (discussed later in this chapter), it’s easy to use the same formatting across a whole family of documents.
For example, you may decide to write a document using 10-point Arial for the text and 14-point Arial for headings. If you later decide to change to Times New Roman, with styles, you make the change in two places—the definitions of your body text and heading styles. Without styles, you have to go through and change each paragraph.
OpenOffice.org offers a variety of style types, varying with the application. Table 1 shows the types of styles available in the various applications.

The Quick Start tutorial is structured very much like a real project in Virtools Dev. You will follow these steps: 1. organize resources 2. plan the content to be implemented - what do you want the composi- tion (CMO) to do? 3. import the media; the models and characters that form and inhabit the world 4. arrange the scene 5. implement interactivity within the scene 6. test the scene 7. refine the scene based on the results of your tests 8. go back to (6) and continue to test and refine until you are satisfied that the scene meets the requirements you chose in (2) 9. release the composition NOTE In actual production, you would plan the content before organizing the resources.
However this is a Quick Start tutorial, so things are done a bit differently! Organize Resources This tutorial uses models contained in the data resource VirtoolsResources. VirtoolsResources are normally installed by default. However, if you chose not to install this component, you will have to launch the installation program
Download Virtools Quick Start ManualGuidelines for Using External Web 2.0 ServicesTraditionally, the World Wide Web has been a one-way, publisher to reader, medium. The distinguishing feature of Web 2.0 is that it is a bidirectional medium, where content (text, image, audio or video) is contributed by people who interact with the website as well as people and organizations who manage the site – in other words, it is the “read/write web”.
There are many companies on the Internet offering attractive and useful applications services based on the Web 2.0 paradigm, including blogs, wikis, office systems, social bookmarking etc – and of course there are virtual worlds such as Second Life which transcend the definition of “Web 2.0”. These are increasingly being adopted by computer users within the University, for administrative, teaching, learning and research purposes.
This document offers guidance to staff within the University on some of the issues which need to be considered before using such services for University purposes. The document is intended to be helpful for all staff, including researchers, teaching staff and support staff. Note, however, that it focuses on issues specific to using external Web 2.0 services – issues which are common to Web 2.0 services regardless of whether they are internally or externally hosted are not specifically addressed.
The University’s use of Web 2.0 services is developing quickly, and the services themselves are changing and expanding even more rapidly. It is inevitable that the information herein will be far from a complete or comprehensive guide to the issues. You should therefore seek other relevant advice and useOptiVisor 400 Mini-OTDR User Guide pdfOTDR Models OTDR Basic Principles Conventions 2 Safety Information Laser Safety Information (Models without VFL) Laser Safety Information (Models with VFL) Electrical Safety Information 3 Getting Started with Your OptiVisor 400 Installing or Upgrading the Software Inserting and Removing Test Modules Turning the OptiVisor 400 On or Off Launching the OptiVisor 400 Application Understanding the Timer Exiting the OTDR Test Application Installing an External Keyboard Installing an External Printer Installing a PC Card Detecting Live Fibers 4 Setting Up Your OptiVisor 400 Installing the Universal Interface (UI) Cleaning and Connecting Optical Fibers Naming Trace Files Automatically

This could be as straightforward as determining whether pupils are following a lesson, or it could be the basis for planned discussion. And it's all done by asking students to make a choice and press a button. Capturing student responses when they are questioned can be a powerful tool in influencing the direction of a lesson or the planning of future work. Activote allows the answers of each pupil to be saved for retrieval later - individually or as a class. Results can also be exported to Excel for record keeping and further analysis where appropriate.
Flexibility is key in any learning environment, which is why Activote can be used in several ways. Integrated into Promethean’s software, it can be used ad-hoc, allowing teachers to ask unplanned questions as they occur. However, it also works effortlessly over any application or website. Similarly, teachers can choose between using the supplied pre-prepared content and easily making their own with the aid of the built-in Question Master Wizard.

This brings up two main windows: the MGED Command Window and the MGED Graphics Window (sometimes called the Geometry Window). Both windows will initially be blank, awaiting input from you. To leave the program at any time, at the Command Line type either the letter q or the word quit and then press the ENTER key.
2. Entering Commands in the Command Window You can type in commands at the mged> prompt. Many experienced UNIX users prefer this method because it allows them to quickly create a model (which we sometimes refer to as a “design”) without having to point and click on a lot of options. The complete listing of editing commands and what they do can be found in Appendix A. If sphere.g already exists, MGED will open the sphere.g database as the program is launched. 5. Using the GUI to Open or Create a Database Alternatively, once you have launched MGED, you can open an existing database or create a new database using the GUI menus (at the top of the Command or Graphics Window) by clicking on File and then either Open or New. Both options bring up a small dialog box. The Open dialog box will ask you to type in the name of an existing database. The New dialog box will ask you to type in the name of a new database.
