Book Tecnologia e progettazione per il mondo digitale e per il web II

Download or read book Tecnologia e progettazione per il mondo digitale e per il web II written by Marcello Missiroli and published by Digital Docet. This book was released on 2021-09-07 with total page 840 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Tecnologie e progettazione di sistemi informatici e di telecomunicazioni” (che abbrevieremo in TEPSIT) è una materia introdotta dalla recente riforma della scuola superiore ed è stata per la prima volta provata “sul campo” nell'anno scolastico 2012-13. Si tratta quindi di una materia nuova, anche se gran parte degli argomenti – in forma diversa – era già presente nel vecchio ordinamento. Le indicazioni ministeriali sugli argomenti oggetto del corso sono piuttosto generiche, e comprendono -Teoria dell'informazione -Sistemi operativi -Programmazione concorrente -Progettazione informatica -Programmazione di rete Con l'eccezione del terzo punto, previsto per il quinto anno, non c'è neppure una una distinzione precisa tra il terzo e quarto anno. Si tratta in ogni caso di argomenti molto vasti e in continua evoluzione, ed è praticamente impossibile svolgerli tutti allo stesso livello di approfondimento. La scelta di questo di libro è quella di presentare in ogni caso contenuti approfonditi, permettendo quindi ai docenti di “personalizzare” il corso in base ai propri gusti, conoscenze specifiche e richieste del territorio. La seconda scelta, è quella di spostare in questa materia la programmazione web, svolta in modo approfondito e ricco di esempi. In particolare, in questo volume, si affrontano le tematiche della programmazione web client-side e alcune tematiche avanzate; il tutto sarà completato l'anno successivo con la programmazione e i servizi server-side. Note alla revisione 2021-22 In questa versione - che giunge dopo qualche anno in cui non ho insegnato questa disciplina nella classe quarta - ho applicato diverse modifiche tanto ai contenuti quanto alla metodologia. In generale, ho rimosso e aggiornato diversi link e cercato di eliminare gli errori di battitura e sintassi. Della prima sezione ho mantenuto l'impianto generale, ma ho aggiunto la copertura per il linguaggio C++17, per Python ed esteso gli aspetti relativi a Java. Sono presenti molti più codici pronti all'uso che dovrebbero semplificare l'apprendimento di questo argomento veramente impegnativo. La sezione sui sistemi operativi è rimasta sostanzialmente invariata. Sono stati rimossi svariati riferimenti espliciti o impliciti a vecchie versioni dei sistemi operativi, anche in previsione dell'arrivo di Windows 11. La parte di programmazione web è stata quasi totalmente riscritta, tenendo conto dell'evoluzione del web e del tumultuoso successo della piattaforma web. In particolare, si è preso come riferimento Javascript ES6, che rappresenta un cambio deciso rispetto alle versioni precedenti. La sezione relativa all'HTML5 è stata rimossa e integrata nel volume 1. Infine, la sezione sulle metodologie di sviluppo è stata aggiornata ed ampliata, togliendo alcuni riferimenti anche dogmatici favorevoli alla progettazione Agile che probabilmente erano troppo marcati e di scarso impatto su ragazzi con ancora poca esperienza di programmazione.

Book World Development Report 2019

Download or read book World Development Report 2019 written by World Bank and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2018-10-31 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Work is constantly reshaped by technological progress. New ways of production are adopted, markets expand, and societies evolve. But some changes provoke more attention than others, in part due to the vast uncertainty involved in making predictions about the future. The 2019 World Development Report will study how the nature of work is changing as a result of advances in technology today. Technological progress disrupts existing systems. A new social contract is needed to smooth the transition and guard against rising inequality. Significant investments in human capital throughout a person’s lifecycle are vital to this effort. If workers are to stay competitive against machines they need to train or retool existing skills. A social protection system that includes a minimum basic level of protection for workers and citizens can complement new forms of employment. Improved private sector policies to encourage startup activity and competition can help countries compete in the digital age. Governments also need to ensure that firms pay their fair share of taxes, in part to fund this new social contract. The 2019 World Development Report presents an analysis of these issues based upon the available evidence.

Book Teaching Digital Natives

Download or read book Teaching Digital Natives written by Marc Prensky and published by Corwin Press. This book was released on 2010-03-29 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Students today are growing up in a digital world. These "digital natives" learn in new and different ways, so educators need new approaches to make learning both real and relevant for today's students. Marc Prensky, who first coined the terms "digital natives" and "digital immigrants," presents an intuitive yet highly innovative and field-tested partnership model that promotes 21st-century student learning through technology. Partnership pedagogy is a framework in which: - Digitally literate students specialize in content finding, analysis, and presentation via multiple media - Teachers specialize in guiding student learning, providing questions and context, designing instruction, and assessing quality - Administrators support, organize, and facilitate the process schoolwide - Technology becomes a tool that students use for learning essential skills and "getting things done" With numerous strategies, how-to's, partnering tips, and examples, Teaching Digital Natives is a visionary yet practical book for preparing students to live and work in today's globalized and digitalized world.

Download or read book Re Engineering Humanity written by Brett Frischmann and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2019-09-12 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every day, new warnings emerge about artificial intelligence rebelling against us. All the while, a more immediate dilemma flies under the radar. Have forces been unleashed that are thrusting humanity down an ill-advised path, one that's increasingly making us behave like simple machines? In this wide-reaching, interdisciplinary book, Brett Frischmann and Evan Selinger examine what's happening to our lives as society embraces big data, predictive analytics, and smart environments. They explain how the goal of designing programmable worlds goes hand in hand with engineering predictable and programmable people. Detailing new frameworks, provocative case studies, and mind-blowing thought experiments, Frischmann and Selinger reveal hidden connections between fitness trackers, electronic contracts, social media platforms, robotic companions, fake news, autonomous cars, and more. This powerful analysis should be read by anyone interested in understanding exactly how technology threatens the future of our society, and what we can do now to build something better.

  • Release : 2009
  • ISBN : 9078398000
  • Pages : 132 pages

Download or read book TACCLE written by Graham Attwell and published by GO! Internationalisering. This book was released on 2009 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is written for classroom teachers who want to know more about e-learning and who would like to experiment with designing e-learning material to use in their own classrooms. It is primarily targeted at secondary teachers but there is no reason why primary school teachers and adult education teachers should not find it useful too. The other group we had in mind were those of you still undertaking initial teacher training. Although there are some exemplary courses, a depressing number of trainee teachers continue to arrive in the classroom having barely heard the words ‘e-learning’, still less have hands on experience of it.

Book Digital Scholarly Editing

Download or read book Digital Scholarly Editing written by Matthew James Driscoll and published by Open Book Publishers. This book was released on 2016-08-15 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents the state of the art in digital scholarly editing. Drawing together the work of established and emerging researchers, it gives pause at a crucial moment in the history of technology in order to offer a sustained reflection on the practices involved in producing, editing and reading digital scholarly editions—and the theories that underpin them. The unrelenting progress of computer technology has changed the nature of textual scholarship at the most fundamental level: the way editors and scholars work, the tools they use to do such work and the research questions they attempt to answer have all been affected. Each of the essays in Digital Scholarly Editing approaches these changes with a different methodological consideration in mind. Together, they make a compelling case for re-evaluating the foundation of the discipline—one that tests its assertions against manuscripts and printed works from across literary history, and the globe. The sheer breadth of Digital Scholarly Editing, along with its successful integration of theory and practice, help redefine a rapidly-changing field, as its firm grounding and future-looking ambit ensure the work will be an indispensable starting point for further scholarship. This collection is essential reading for editors, scholars, students and readers who are invested in the future of textual scholarship and the digital humanities.

Book The Art   Science of Learning Design

Download or read book The Art Science of Learning Design written by Marcelo Maina and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-07-21 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in an era defined by a wealth of open and readily available information, and the accelerated evolution of social, mobile and creative technologies. The provision of knowledge, once a primary role of educators, is now devolved to an immense web of free and readily accessible sources. Consequently, educators need to redefine their role not just “from sage on the stage to guide on the side” but, as more and more voices insist, as “designers for learning”. The call for such a repositioning of educators is heard from leaders in the field of technology-enhanced learning (TEL) and resonates well with the growing culture of design-based research in Education. However, it is still struggling to find a foothold in educational practice. We contend that the root causes of this discrepancy are the lack of articulation of design practices and methods, along with a shortage of tools and representations to support such practices, a lack of a culture of teacher-as-designer among practitioners, and insufficient theoretical development. The Art and Science of Learning Design (ASLD) explores the frameworks, methods, and tools available for teachers, technologists and researchers interested in designing for learning Learning Design theories arising from findings of research are explored, drawing upon research and practitioner experiences. It then surveys current trends in the practices, methods, and methodologies of Learning Design. Highlighting the translation of theory into practice, this book showcases some of the latest tools that support the learning design process itself.

Book Labor in the Global Digital Economy

Download or read book Labor in the Global Digital Economy written by Ursula Huws and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2014-12-05 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For every person who reads this text on the printed page, many more will read it on a computer screen or mobile device. It’s a situation that we increasingly take for granted in our digital era, and while it is indicative of the novelty of twenty-first-century capitalism, it is also the key to understanding its driving force: the relentless impulse to commodify our lives in every aspect. Ursula Huws ties together disparate economic, cultural, and political phenomena of the last few decades to form a provocative narrative about the shape of the global capitalist economy at present. She examines the way that advanced information and communications technology has opened up new fields of capital accumulation: in culture and the arts, in the privatization of public services, and in the commodification of human sociality by way of mobile devices and social networking. These trends are in turn accompanied by the dramatic restructuring of work arrangements, opening the way for new contradictions and new forms of labor solidarity and struggle around the planet. Labor in the Global Digital Economy is a forceful critique of our dizzying contemporary moment, one that goes beyond notions of mere connectedness or free-flowing information to illuminate the entrenched mechanisms of exploitation and control at the core of capitalism.

Book Ecosystem Edge

  • Author : Peter J. Williamson

  • ISBN : 1503611868

Download or read book Ecosystem Edge written by Peter J. Williamson and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2020-04-14 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To succeed in the face of disruptive competition, companies will need to harness the power of a wide range of partners who can bring different skills, experience, capacity, and their own networks to the task. With the advent of new technologies, rapidly changing customer needs, and emerging competitors, companies across more and more industries are seeing their time-honored ways of making money under threat. In this book, Arnoud De Meyer and Peter J. Williamson explain how business can meet these challenges by building a large and dynamic ecosystem of partners that reinforce, strengthen, and encourage innovation in the face of ongoing disruption. While traditional companies know how to assemble and manage supply chains, leading the development of a vibrant ecosystem requires a different set of capabilities. Ecosystem Edge illustrates how executives need to leave notions of command and control behind in favor of strategies that will attract partners, stimulate learning, and promote the overall health of the network. To understand the practical steps executives can take to achieve this, the authors focus on eight core examples that cross industries and continents: Alibaba Group, Amazon.com, ARM, athenahealth, Dassault Systèmes S.E., The Guardian, Rolls-Royce, and Thomson Reuters. By following the principles outlined in this book, leaders can learn how to unlock rapid innovation, tap into new and original sources of value, and practice organizational flexibility. As a result, companies can gain the ecosystem edge, a key advantage in responding to the challenges of disruption that business sees all around it today.

Book Critical CALL     Proceedings of the 2015 EUROCALL Conference  Padova  Italy

Download or read book Critical CALL Proceedings of the 2015 EUROCALL Conference Padova Italy written by Francesca Helm and published by Research-publishing.net. This book was released on 2015-12-02 with total page 598 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The theme of the conference this year was Critical CALL, drawing inspiration from the work carried out in the broader field of Critical Applied Linguistics. The term ‘critical’ has many possible interpretations, and as Pennycook (2001) outlines, has many concerns. It was from these that we decided on the conference theme, in particular the notion that we should question the assumptions that lie at the basis of our praxis, ideas that have become ‘naturalized’ and are not called into question. Over 200 presentations were delivered in 68 different sessions, both in English and Italian, on topics related specifically to the theme and also more general CALL topics. 94 of these were submitted as extended papers and appear in this volume of proceedings.
