The document discusses teaching Generation Z students, who have grown up with technology like the internet, smartphones, and video games. It outlines new media skills students need, such as media literacy, networking, and evaluating online information. The challenges for schools are integrating these technological skills into education and teaching students how to critically analyze and remix digital content.
Digital literacy involves more than just the ability to read and write, and now means the ability to understand information across different media formats. It requires skills in deciphering complex images, sounds, and language. Digitally literate people can move between different media types and present information in a way their audience can easily understand. Central competencies of digital literacy include reading and understanding different formats, creating and sharing digital information, evaluating information, and practicing information and media literacy. These skills are widely needed but unevenly possessed globally. As technology advances rapidly, digital literacy as a field continues to evolve and teachers and students must constantly update their skills to stay engaged.
The document discusses teaching Generation Z students, who grew up with technology like smartphones, laptops, and video games. It notes that Generation Z students are adept at multitasking and using new media skills like remixing content, but schools need to better integrate technology into teaching to make it truly useful.

It summarizes seven trends identified in a University Business article, including the growth of connected devices, use of visual content, and rise of MOOCs. It then reflects on what shapes digital culture, how skills differ from literacies, and frameworks for teaching digital literacy. It argues students must learn to use technology to perform functions that allow surviving in a digital world. Teachers must also unlearn and relearn beliefs and practices. Developing digital literacies requires teaching students how to read and write digitally, and innovating strategies to make students generators rather than just consumers of information.
Engaging Digital Natives - BPET Sub-CommitteeJennifer Dorman
This document discusses the changing nature of education and literacy in the digital age. It notes that students today, known as "digital natives," have grown up with technology and process information differently than previous generations. Their brains have physically changed as a result of new technologies. The document also discusses the rise of participatory culture online and new forms of literacy, like collaboration and networking, that are important for students to learn. It argues that education must change to communicate in students' language and leverage new technologies and literacies to better engage and prepare students for the future.
Information literacy in a media-saturated worldPam Wilson
The document discusses the evolving definition of literacy in the 21st century. Traditionally defined as reading and writing, literacy now involves interpreting, understanding, producing, and creating across various media. It examines the skills needed for participation in digital culture, including critical thinking, cultural awareness, technical skills, and the ability to collaborate and share creations online. New forms of literacy allow for both consuming and producing media as members of participatory online communities.
Digital literacy refers to the set of skills needed to effectively use digital devices and technology to communicate, express ideas, collaborate, and advocate in the knowledge society. It involves having awareness, attitudes, and abilities to identify, access, analyze, evaluate, and communicate digital resources to construct new knowledge. While some question if digital texts help early education, research shows multimodal digital texts can engage multiple senses and support learning. Maintaining digital literacy in our technology-dependent society requires being open-minded and continuously learning about new devices and applications.
This document provides an overview of digital storytelling. It discusses how digital stories can reinforce critical thinking and communication skills. Digital stories combine various forms of digital media like photos, video, and audio to tell a narrative. They are viewable on digital devices and shareable online. The document explores how digital storytelling is being used in educational settings and the benefits it provides to student engagement, writing skills, and preparation for future communication.
The document discusses skills needed for the modern workforce and strategies for incorporating internet resources into the classroom. It advocates supplementing textbooks with tools that develop skills like collaboration, communication, critical thinking and problem solving. Specific strategies are proposed, like using online tools for writing assignments, projects and discussions to prepare students for careers that require adaptability, teamwork and managing information. The document argues that technology should be integrated pedagogically, not as a special task, to cultivate multiliteracies through activities involving instruction, practice and reflection.
The document discusses the implications of 21st century literacies for teaching and learning in the digital age. It notes that today's students, known as "digital natives," have grown up with technology and process information differently than previous generations. This presents challenges for educators, who are often "digital immigrants" less fluent in digital technologies. The document advocates integrating educational technologies into teaching in ways that enhance learning, such as through differentiated instruction, while maintaining a focus on essential knowledge, skills, and understandings.
This document discusses 21st century learning and the essential competencies of digital and media literacy. It outlines five competencies: access, analyze & evaluate, create, reflect, and act. Educators need new skill sets like facilitation, flexibility, and commitment to lifelong learning. Constructionism is an approach where students learn by designing projects within a community using technological tools to create new ways of thinking. The document advocates for 21st century learning spaces that are participatory, research-driven, promote active learning locally and globally, are youth-centered, and integrated/interdisciplinary. It provides references on topics like constructionism and digital literacy.
The document discusses the shift towards participatory culture and how it impacts learning. It outlines three key points:
1) Young people are actively creating and sharing media online within social networks, requiring new skills like collaboration, problem solving and creativity. However, schools have been slow to adapt.
2) Informal learning through social media and online communities is stepping in, teaching skills like collective intelligence and transmedia navigation.
3) Studies show learning now occurs both in and out of school as youth seamlessly move between physical and online spaces, gaining knowledge through peer interactions and mentors in their interest areas.
The document discusses how digital technologies are changing how people read, write, and communicate. It asks essential questions about how to define "text" and "digital" in this new context, and implications for how writing is taught. A key point is that the properties and dynamics of the digital landscape, not just the tools, are important to consider to evolve education. Case studies are presented showing how learning networks can facilitate real, networked, and participatory learning through blogs, forums, and other digital platforms and texts. Resources for further reading are also included.

So You've Lost Quorum: Lessons From Accidental DowntimeScyllaDB
The best thing about databases is that they always work as intended, and never suffer any downtime. You'll never see a system go offline because of a database outage. In this talk, Bo Ingram -- staff engineer at Discord and author of ScyllaDB in Action --- dives into an outage with one of their ScyllaDB clusters, showing how a stressed ScyllaDB cluster looks and behaves during an incident. You'll learn about how to diagnose issues in your clusters, see how external failure modes manifest in ScyllaDB, and how you can avoid making a fault too big to tolerate.
An All-Around Benchmark of the DBaaS MarketScyllaDB
The entire database market is moving towards Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS), resulting in a heterogeneous DBaaS landscape shaped by database vendors, cloud providers, and DBaaS brokers. This DBaaS landscape is rapidly evolving and the DBaaS products differ in their features but also their price and performance capabilities. In consequence, selecting the optimal DBaaS provider for the customer needs becomes a challenge, especially for performance-critical applications.
To enable an on-demand comparison of the DBaaS landscape we present the benchANT DBaaS Navigator, an open DBaaS comparison platform for management and deployment features, costs, and performance. The DBaaS Navigator is an open data platform that enables the comparison of over 20 DBaaS providers for the relational and NoSQL databases.
This talk will provide a brief overview of the benchmarked categories with a focus on the technical categories such as price/performance for NoSQL DBaaS and how ScyllaDB Cloud is performing.

Lee Barnes - Path to Becoming an Effective Test Automation Engineer.pdfleebarnesutopia
So… you want to become a Test Automation Engineer (or hire and develop one)? While there’s quite a bit of information available about important technical and tool skills to master, there’s not enough discussion around the path to becoming an effective Test Automation Engineer that knows how to add VALUE. In my experience this had led to a proliferation of engineers who are proficient with tools and building frameworks but have skill and knowledge gaps, especially in software testing, that reduce the value they deliver with test automation.
In this talk, Lee will share his lessons learned from over 30 years of working with, and mentoring, hundreds of Test Automation Engineers. Whether you’re looking to get started in test automation or just want to improve your trade, this talk will give you a solid foundation and roadmap for ensuring your test automation efforts continuously add value. This talk is equally valuable for both aspiring Test Automation Engineers and those managing them! All attendees will take away a set of key foundational knowledge and a high-level learning path for leveling up test automation skills and ensuring they add value to their organizations.
Discover the Unseen: Tailored Recommendation of Unwatched ContentScyllaDB
The session shares how JioCinema approaches ""watch discounting."" This capability ensures that if a user watched a certain amount of a show/movie, the platform no longer recommends that particular content to the user. Flawless operation of this feature promotes the discover of new content, improving the overall user experience.
JioCinema is an Indian over-the-top media streaming service owned by Viacom18.
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.
