Podcasts about annotating

What are the qualities of a good chess coach? How can one become a chess teacher? How should lessons be organized and scheduled? This episode is Part One of Two about chess teaching from both the teacher and student point of view. This week we focus more on the former. We also cover the following topics: Annotating your own games Is there a "rating ceiling" no matter how hard one works to improve? Can you take notes during an OTB tournament game? How to find time to play OTB games as a busy adult Referenced: How to Reassess Your Chess, 4th Ed. (Amazon) Ep. #15: When It's Your Turn to Move Ep. #124: Are Amateur Players Qualified to Coach Chess?

Why? “Fast Feedback - Rather than having to commit/push every time you want to test out the changes you are making to your .github/workflows/ files (or for any changes to embedded GitHub actions), you can use act to run the actions locally. The environment variables and filesystem are all configured to match what GitHub provides.” “Local Task Runner - I love make. However, I also hate repeating myself. With act, you can use the GitHub Actions defined in your .github/workflows/ to replace your Makefile!” Docs: nektosact.com Uses Docker to run containers for each action.

Have you ever heard the last two lines of this poem? “Water water everywhere And all the boards did shrink, Water water everywhere Nor any drop to drink” Join Kate and Sheila as they discuss Samuel Coleridge's Four Types of Readers: Sand-glasses / Hourglasses- like sand that runs in and out and leaves not a ‘vestige' behind, in other words, these readers retain nothing. They are simply passing time as one might do when they are waiting at the dentist office perusing a magazine. Sponges-absorb all they read and return it nearly in the same state only a little dirtied. They don't think much for themselves so they may miss the point. Strain bag / Jelly bag - squeeze out valuable information and hold onto the unimportant or in Coleridge's words, “retain merely the dregs of what they read.” The violent, shameful, or sullied parts stick and the main points get tossed out. Can happen when one is reading above his/her level. Mogul / Golconda - profit by what they read and enable others to profit by it too. These readers are able to cast aside all that is worthless and retain the pure gems. Picture the miner with a sieve working away searching for nuggets of gold. Annotating and making connections can help us glean from what we read and be more enlightened readers : ) Reading can be a rollercoaster ride, the highs would be the Mogul moments and the lows would be hourglasses and the others. It is interesting to note that we do not always bring our A game to our reading endeavors but maybe Coleridge can help us figure out when we don't and possibly help us back up the train (of thought : ) to refocus and go for the GOLD! One last Colerige quote, “Little is taught by contest or dispute, everything by sympathy and love.” Clever wording that connects with an old favorite that I just read in The Persian Pickle Club, “... you can get more flies with honey than with vinegar.” Aren't connections cool? Check out The Read Well Podcast episode #43 to hear where we discovered these four types of readers. We hope you have a blessed week.

James Lindsay and Stephen Coughlin join Courtenay Turner in a follow up to yesterday's discussion regarding Plato, Hegel, alchemy, hermeticism & dialectical manipulation to further examine Plato's notion of democracy, initiate references and the direct influence on Marxist theology.  Annotating directly from the texts they delineate the throughline of these ideologies and correlate modern day relevance. This poussant analysis reveals deeper connotations to much of what is typically only cursorily taught, thereby creating a much broader and clearer understanding of where we are today.  Episode Resources: Eros and Civilization: A Philosophical Inquiry into Freud by Herbert Marcuse The Symposium by Plato The Republic of Plato Critical Theory The Critical Turn in Education by Isaac Gottesman Connect with James Lindsay: Website: New Discourses  Books: Dr. James Lindsay Amazon Library Podcast: New Discourses Podcast Twitter: @conceptualjames Instagram: @conceptualjames / @newdiscourses Connect with Stephen Coughlin: Website: https://unconstrainedanalytics.org  Purchase The Book: Catastrophic Failure: Blindfolding America in the Face of Jihad ————————————————— Disclaimer: this is intended to be inspiration & entertainment.

The Memorial as a False Idol The institution of naming streets and erecting buildings to honor heroes and others is scrutinized from sociological, psychological, and existential perspectives. As a parallel motif,the recent woke-grounded phenomenon of tearing down monuments and un-naming streets and endeavors is similarly analyzed. With some debate and qualifications,both discussants agree the intent in these namings is to keep the hero's ideals alive for a long time, allowing him/her to exist even after death. Prof. Juni argues that the extant dynamic here is anxiety about death and the dread of mortality. Psychiatrically,this effort would definitely be classified as delusional, but its pathology ismitigated by the fact that the tendency is so widespread across cultures. Annotating his rebuttal from highlights from famous films and literary work, R. Kivelevitz presents his position that the primary impetus for these memorial efforts is the striving offamily members to keep alive the memory of a loved one. Thus, it is the survivors' discomfort with the curtailed existence of their loved one which is central here rather than the yearnings of the deceased as such. Juni goes on to elaborate that any human activity is inherently insignificant unless it is anchored in a transcendent belief system that features more than the physical world. Heargues that the drive to produce or to achieve any laudable goals is merely a sublimated neurotic effort to deal with death anxiety while being anchored in the recognition of existential meaninglessness. Taking the political perspective of street naming -- particularly in Israel, Juni interprets the ubiquitous phenomenon as anaspect of colonization – i.e., affixing an indigenous Israeli stamp throughout the Jewish state. He sees this effort as a form of colonization via re-naming. R. Kivelevitz concludes by recounting some of his own transcendent experiences in connection with memorials to sages and his Rabbinic mentors long departed, whose significanceJuni politely follows with demurrals. Prof. Juni is one of the foremost research psychologists in the world today. He has published ground-breaking original research in seventy different peer reviewed journals and is cited continuously with respect by colleagues and experts in the field who have built on his theories and observations. He studied in Yeshivas Chaim Berlin under Rav Yitzchak Hutner, and in Yeshiva University as a Talmid of Rav Joseph Dov Soloveitchik. Dr. Juni is a board member of the Association of Orthodox Jewish Scientists and has regularly presented addresses to captivated audiences. Associated with NYU since 1979, Juni has served as Director of PhD programs, all the while heading teams engaged in cutting-edge research. Professor Juni's scholarship on aberrant behavior across the cultural, ethnic, and religious spectrum is founded on psychometric methodology and based on a psychodynamic psychopathology perspective. He is arguably the preeminent expert in Differential Diagnostics, with each of his myriad studies entailing parallel efforts in theory construction and empirical data collection from normative and clinical populations. Professor Juni created and directed the NYU Graduate Program in Tel Aviv titled Cross-Cultural Group Dynamics in Stressful Environments. Based in Yerushalayim, he collaborates with Israeli academic and mental health specialists in the study of dissonant factors and tensions in the Arab-Israeli conflict and those within the Orthodox Jewish community, while exploring personality challenges of second-generation Holocaust survivors. Below is a partial list of the professional journals where Professor Juni has published 120 theoretical articles and his research findings (many are available online): Journal of Forensic Psychology; Journal of Aggression, Maltreatment, and Trauma; International Review of Victimology; The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease; International Forum of Psychoanalysis; Journal of Personality Assessment; Journal of Abnormal Psychology; Journal of Psychoanalytic Anthropology; Psychophysiology; Psychology and Human Development; Journal of Sex Research; Journal of Psychology and Judaism; Contemporary Family Therapy; American Journal on Addictions; Journal of Criminal Psychology; Mental Health, Religion, and Culture. As Rosh Beis Medrash, Rabbi Avraham Kivelevitz serves as Rav and Posek for the morning minyan at IDT. Hundreds of listeners around the globe look forward to his weekly Shiur in Tshuvos and Poskim. Rav Kivelevitz is a Maggid Shiur for Dirshu International in Talmud and Halacha as well as a Dayan with the Beth Din of America.

Hey guys, in this episode I talk about the use of active learning for anomaly detection. In an anomaly detection scenario, most of the time we don't have a labeled dataset, so we have the help of an expert to annotate it. Using active learning we can hugely decrease the amount of the data to be annotated by the expert, making the job much more efficient.

#reinforcementlearning #ai #explained Exploration is one of the oldest challenges for Reinforcement Learning algorithms, with no clear solution to date. Especially in environments with sparse rewards, agents face significant challenges in deciding which parts of the environment to explore further. Providing intrinsic motivation in form of a pseudo-reward is sometimes used to overcome this challenge, but often relies on hand-crafted heuristics, and can lead to deceptive dead-ends. This paper proposes to use language descriptions of encountered states as a method of assessing novelty. In two procedurally generated environments, they demonstrate the usefulness of language, which is in itself highly concise and abstractive, which lends itself well for this task. OUTLINE: 0:00 - Intro 1:10 - Paper Overview: Language for exploration 5:40 - The MiniGrid & MiniHack environments 7:00 - Annotating states with language 9:05 - Baseline algorithm: AMIGo 12:20 - Adding language to AMIGo 22:55 - Baseline algorithm: NovelD and Random Network Distillation 29:45 - Adding language to NovelD 31:50 - Aren't we just using extra data? 34:55 - Investigating the experimental results 40:45 - Final comments Paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2202.08938 Abstract: Reinforcement learning (RL) agents are particularly hard to train when rewards are sparse. One common solution is to use intrinsic rewards to encourage agents to explore their environment. However, recent intrinsic exploration methods often use state-based novelty measures which reward low-level exploration and may not scale to domains requiring more abstract skills. Instead, we explore natural language as a general medium for highlighting relevant abstractions in an environment. Unlike previous work, we evaluate whether language can improve over existing exploration methods by directly extending (and comparing to) competitive intrinsic exploration baselines: AMIGo (Campero et al., 2021) and NovelD (Zhang et al., 2021). These language-based variants outperform their non-linguistic forms by 45-85% across 13 challenging tasks from the MiniGrid and MiniHack environment suites.

Yesterday's sci-fi has become today's reality. Join us as we venture our way into the ever-growing domain of Language Technology in which we discover and discuss current and future developments in speech recognition, automated literary translation, opinion mining and open domain chatbot applications. Not only do we find ourselves having cheeky chats with clever cars and critical conversations with experts,  we also ponder over the pros and cons of Artificial Intelligence and assess our position as linguists (and one alleged Professor of Disco Studies) in view of these developments.     For more information, references and a full transcript please visit wordsandactions.blog In this episode we start our discussion of language and technology with voice recognition. Bernard mentions a general bias towards female voices, as discussed in this paper: Edworthy J., Hellier E., & Rivers J. (2003). The use of male or female voices in warnings systems: a question of acoustics. Noise and Health, 6(21): 39-50.  Pitch range is also important, as demonstrated in the experiment on using different voices for sat navs that Erika mentions:  Niebuhr, O., & Michalsky, J. (2019). Computer-generated speaker charisma and its effects on human actions in a car-navigation system experiment: or how Steve Jobs' tone of voice can take you anywhere. In Misra S. et al. (eds) Computational Science and Its Applications – ICCSA 2019. Lecture Notes in Computer Science, vol. 11620:  375-390. Springer, Cham. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-24296-1_31  Moving from acoustics to culture, the following paper discusses how male voices are perceived as more authoritative:  Anderson R.C., & Klofstad, C.A. (2012). Preference for leaders with masculine voices holds in the case of feminine leadership roles. PLoS ONE, 7(12): e51216. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0051216 It is worth sharing a few more auto-captioning gems in the lectures of Veronika and her colleagues at Lancaster University:  "my grammar is leaving me" →  "my grandma is leading me" “n-sizes” → “incisors” “Hardaker and McGlashan” → “heartache and regression” “institutional” → "it's too slow" (truth!) “masculine” → "mass killer" (bit harsh)   On readability, Bernard mentions an example from accounting, namely the obfuscation hypothesis. The following paper on the topic is considered the first accounting study that uses automated textual analysis with a very large sample to address readability: Li, F. (2008). Annual report readability, current earnings, and earnings persistence. Journal of Accounting & Economics, 45: 221–247. doi:10.1016/j.jacceco.2008.02.003    We then go on to talk about sentiment analysis, which is used to find out about, for example, brand perceptions or patient satisfaction. Here is an example of the latter:   Hopper, A. M., & Uriyo, M. (2015). Using sentiment analysis to review patient satisfaction data located on the internet. Journal of Health Organization and Management, 29(2): 221-233. DOI 10.1108/JHOM-12-2011-0129   In the context of this episode, we want to distinguish between corpus linguistics and computational linguistics. Although language corpora are used to train systems in machine learning, corpus linguists engage in the computer-assisted analysis of large text collections, often combining automated statistical analysis with manual qualitative analysis. A company using such mixed corpus linguistic methods to provide their customers with insights about their products and services is Relative Insight. (We did not receive any funding from them for this episode, but they are a spin-off company that started at Lancaster University.) A critical evaluation of another area of computational linguistics, topic modelling, written by two corpus linguists is:    Brookes, G.,  & McEnery, T. (2018). The utility of topic modelling for discourse studies: A critical evaluation. Discourse Studies, 21(1): 3-21. https://doi.org/10.1177/1461445618814032   (Incidentally, the above paper is also based on data about patient satisfaction.)   The PhD thesis on automatic irony detection that Bernard mentions was written by Cynthia Van Hee and is available here.    The second interview quest is another one of Bernard's colleagues from Ghent University, Orphée De Clercq. Her recent publications include:    De Bruyne, L., De Clercq, O., & Hoste, V. (2021). Annotating affective dimensions in user-generated content. Language Resources and Evaluation, 55(4): 1017-1045. De Clercq, O., De Sutter, G., Loock, R., Cappelle, B., & Plevoets, K. (2021). Uncovering machine translationese using corpus analysis techniques to distinguish between original and machine-translated French. Translation Quarterly, 101: 21-45.   And finally, we talk to Doris Dippold from the University of Surrey in the UK. Her work on chatbots can be found in:  Dippold, D., Lynden, J., Shrubsall, R., & Ingram, R. (2020).

This episode is for ages 8 and up Annotating is an interactive learning strategy that will help improve comprehension and retention of information. This technique is going to help build curiosity and teach them how to ask intentional questions. Annotations promote a deeper understanding of passages and encourage students to read with a purpose. As a teachers you can use annotations to emphasize crucial literacy skills like visualization, asking questions, and making inferences. The main thing is that your child becomes engaged and is interactive with their reading. Here are the links I mentioned in the podcast handout on reading comprehension tips for some examples https://www.n2y.com/blog/4-step-plan-for-central-idea-and-theme/ https://learningcenter.unc.edu/tips-and-tools/using-highlighters/ Take Care of your child's health and you'll be supporting this show Thank you!

I met Chen Sagiv in person in 2019 at the European Congress of Toxicologic Pathology in Cologne, Germany after previously interacting for several months on social media. We stayed in touch ever since and started working on several projects together. Because of her expertise and the great relationship we have developed, she is now my go-to person in the computer vision field. Chen is a mathematician and a computer scientist specialized in computer vision. She is the founder of several tech companies and one of them - DeePathology- has the goal of democratizing pathology. DeePathology's mission is to bring artificial intelligence to pathologists and to make it as easy and as user friendly as possible. DeePathology's software - The Studio - is designed not only to be easy to use for pathologists and life scientists but also to shorten the time required to perform annotations.Annotating structures for training deep learning models is a time consuming and tedious task. By incorporating the principles of active learning into the software the time necessary to generate annotations is significantly reduced. After providing the model with some examples of the structures of interest it starts learning and actively asking the user to review the non-annotated structures recognized by the algorithm. This respect for pathologists' time is something rarely incorporated into digital pathology software design. Digital Pathology Place and DeePathology are hosting a webinar series called "When a Pathologist meets a Mathematician" where we bridge the pathology and computer science concepts. To join our next webinar"The Good, the Bad and the Biased - How can pathologists assess the correctness of AI?" Register hereTo learn more about artificial intelligence register for Chen's free"AI for Pathologists" course hereIn this course, Chen explains the AI principles to pathologists and life scientists who are interested in the subject and want to understand and implement this discipline into their own work.

What if I could train myself to stop focusing on my circumstances rather than the Lord? Kristian Stanfill's song "Always" reminds us of the greatness of our God as compared to the trouble that may surround us. David's Psalm 3 offers this same option. Let's explore it together. On this episode I discuss: Taking a B.I.T.E. out of Scripture - this week's Bible Interaction Tool Exercises include: Writing in your Bible Annotating Making observations Making a list Consult and outside resource Listen/Read in a variety of translations Share with a friend! Following the cross references How the first verse of the song leads us to the first verse of Psalm 3 Copying and pasting the Psalm into a word processing document in order to print out and annotate Annotating - marking up a text to indicate places of importance or something you don't understand, thereby increasing deeper understanding Bracketing the Psalm Psalm 3:1-2 - Looking at circumstances Psalm 3:3-4 - Refocusing on God Psalm 3:5-6 - Resulting in rest and peace Psalm 3:7 - A request Psalm 3:8 - A declaration Following the cross reference to 2 Samuel 13-18 to read about David and Absalom - the inspiration for David to write this psalm in the first place   Additional Resources The story behind the song "Always" by Kristian Stanfill - New Release Today Article Lyrics - KLove Chords and lyrics - Worship Together This Week's Challenge Read Psalm 3 for yourself.

Let this Psalm change your prayers and remind you of the rest and peace offered by our Deliverer.

In this episode, I speak with Danielle Geller about her essay that appeared in The New Yorker. The piece uses the unique form of an annotated dictionary to tell the story of her relationship with her mother and the Navajo language. We discuss the form she chose, the inspiration for and evolutions of the essay, and how feedback fueled her creative process. Danielle Geller is a writer of personal essays and memoir. Her first book, Dog Flowers, is forthcoming from One World/Random House in 2020. She received her MFA in Creative Writing, Nonfiction at the University of Arizona and is a recipient of the 2016 Rona Jaffe Writers’ Awards. Her work has appeared in The New Yorker, Brevity, and Arizona Highways Magazine and has been anthologized in This Is the Place (Seal Press, 2017). She is a member of the Navajo Nation: born to the Tsi’naajinii, born for the bilagaana. To keep up with Danielle and to read her pieces available online, including the essay we discuss in this episode, visit her website at https://daniellegeller.com.

Yes, I know you REALLY want to know how to put your worksheet into Google Classroom!  But, let’s take a step back and take a deeper look at the purpose of your assignment, the power of G Suite, and how you can go BEYOND substitution and a static worksheet.  Get ready to stop asking how to put a worksheet in Google Classroom, because “worksheet” is about to be removed from your vocabulary. Usually, this question REALLY means, how do I put a PDF inside Google Classroom so my students can write on top of it. Don’t worry. If you want the easy answer and to ignore the rest of this, I will tell you how at the end of this post. In This Episode: [00:29] - Kasey welcomes listeners to the show and reveals one of her biggest pet peeves.  [02:04] - Quick Shout Out to Jennifer Earls and Murray State University for being amazing participants in one of the Shake Up Learning live events! If you’d like to bring Shake Up Learning to your next event - Check out the Work With Me page here! [02:54] - Question from SpeakPipe: Koralie in Kuwait wanted to know if it would be possible to bring students onto the podcast, so they can share the wonderful things they are doing and learning.  Kasey reminds listeners that she has had students on the podcast and in fact, has an application for students to apply to be on the show. **Sneak Peak** in August she has another student interview scheduled. Check out Episode 7 where she chats with Camden, a 5th grader from South Carolina.  If you’d like to apply to be on the show, apply here! You can also apply to be one of the on-air coaching applicants for teachers and coaches here. [05:57] - This episode is sponsored by Pear Deck, the tool that helps you supercharge student engagement.

How to Put a Worksheet in Google Classroom [07:18] - Should you or should you not be putting worksheets into Google Classroom? First Kasey defines a worksheet, and why you shouldn’t be using them at all. The term “worksheet” has become a bad word in a lot of education circles. Worksheets and packets mean different types of work to different types of teachers. Jennifer Gonzalez from Cult of Pedagogy did a wonderful post and podcast on this topic called, “Frickin’ Packets.” The post was inspired by a YouTube video where a high school student tells his teacher that if you want students to get excited about learning and touch their hearts, stop giving frickin’ packets. [10:04] - Kasey shares a confession about her own teaching that she truly regrets, she used to use packets and worksheets for busy work. As I have confessed many times, and in fact, literally confessed inside an auditorium in Kentucky last week, packets and worksheets were a mainstay in my classroom for the first few years. And that is something that I regret.  I am ashamed that I gave my students busy work so that I could finish grades or other tasks that piled up on my desk. I taught the way I was taught and in my ignorance, I blindly followed the lead of the more seasoned teachers on my campus. I didn’t know that I was doing a disservice to my students. So when I am asked this question, I don’t give a quick fix answer, I follow up with: “What are you teaching? What are your learning goals?” The answer will give me an opportunity to discuss alternative assignments that can make learning more dynamic for students. If your goal is to teach students how to complete an acrostic, GREAT! But I have yet to see that one defined in any standard. If your goal is to teach students how to fill in the blank from a word bank, GREAT! But I have yet to see that one defined in any standard. But if your goal is to help students learn and understand new vocabulary, there are so many more engaging activities to try. It always comes down to the learning goal. Not the packet. Not the technology. If you can’t tell me how the tech supports the learning, ditch it. If you can’t tell me how the packet supports the learning, ditch it! What is a Worksheet? [12:10] - Kasey defines the “worksheet” and different types of things teachers mean when they say worksheet.  For the purposes of this discussion, let’s define worksheet. Let’s take a closer look at some ways a teacher could describe a worksheet. I have a worksheet that I use with my students every year. Now I need to figure out how to make it work in Google Classroom. I got this cute worksheet on Teachers Pay Teachers and I want to assign it using Google Classroom. I have a PDF document that my students need to read and answer questions in Google Classroom. I teach ELL students who need to practice reading and comprehension on a worksheet. I have a PDF article that I want my students to read and annotate. I have a graphic organizer I want my students to complete. I have a special note-taking device for my students. I made one of those hyperdoc worksheets and I don’t know how to share it with my students. This list can go on and on. So before you berate me with your special exceptions, let me be clear. I agree with Jennifer Gonzalez, “Not all worksheets are created equal.” There are powerful strategies that can be done on paper or in a digital format. Those last few examples (5-8) are not what I would refer to as a worksheet.  Annotating a piece of text or writing is not a worksheet. A graphic organizer is not a worksheet. Advanced note-taking devices are not usually worksheets. Hyperdocs are not worksheets. For the purposes of this discussion, I am referring to worksheets or packets that are designed to keep students busy filling in blanks, searching for words, doing crossword puzzles, and other types of sheets that do not meet learning goals. And to revisit our original question about digitizing the worksheet so you can distribute the assignment in Google Classroom takes this question a bit further. First, if you are going through the trouble of taking something from paper to digital, why not use that as an opportunity to make it more dynamic. We also need to change our vocabulary, if you are lumping hyperdocs into the worksheet category, you missed the boat. You probably fell off the boat. [15:45] - When moving from paper to digital, make the lesson more dynamic! Also review your vocabulary and update it! Let’s begin to define our new digitized activities with new words. I talk a lot about this in my book. “If we are to ever truly move beyond technology as a substitution, we must get rid of terms that are rooted in old school, paper-based assignments: paperless, notebook, packet, worksheet, poster, cards, portfolio, etc. Vocabulary can limit our perception of what’s possible. An interactive notebook could simply be taking the paper-based notebook and images and putting them online in a presentation software. But again, that limits the possibilities. We need new, creative words. What if instead of notebook, a word that soon will have very little meaning for future-ready students, it becomes something new, like a “Learning Stream” or a “Learning Binge”?” Bell, Kasey. Shake Up Learning: Practical Ideas to Move Learning from Static to Dynamic . Dave Burgess Consulting, Inc.. Kindle Edition.  [18:08] - Use technology to create new learning experiences for students that weren’t previously possible. “But my worksheet helps prepare students for the test.” Maybe. And yes, I understand we all have test prep, but let’s be honest, worksheets and packets are a crutch. Ask yourself,  Will this worksheet help the learning stick? Is this worksheet better than hands-on learning? Is this worksheet better than discussion? Is this worksheet better than engaging students in new ways? -- That’s why you use technology! Not to save paper or digitize your old stuff. Technology is a tool that allows us to create new learning experiences for students that weren’t previously possible. What if you teach ABOVE the test? What if you can still help students prepare for that test and give them skills to not only pass but to think critically, create, collaborate, and use their creative skills? How to Edit a PDF in Google Classroom [21:46] - Kasey provides a “How to” on getting your PDF into Google Classroom and how to assign it. And finally, let’s move on to the question that some of you have been dying for… “Kasey, how do I get this dadgum PDF in Google Classroom?” -- (that’s my southern cursing coming out!) Okay, so you have something amazing for your students and it is a PDF document that you want to assign through Google Classroom. [22:49] - Google Classroom is a separate application where you can create assignments, not simply using Google tools in the classroom.  Occasionally, teachers ask this question and they don’t understand that Google Classroom is a separate application from Google. It doesn’t just mean that you use Google in your own classroom. Google Classroom is an assignment manager and classroom communication tool. (You can learn all about it in The Google Classroom Master Class.) First, save your PDF to Google Drive. Go to drive.google.com Click on the “New” button Then choose File - Upload Navigate to where you saved your PDF file on your computer and upload it to your Drive. [23:53] - Once you’ve uploaded to drive, you will need to use a PDF editor so that your students can work on the PDF. Most educators use KAMI. It was designed to integrate with Google Classroom. Next, choose a PDF editor and make sure your students have access. There are several applications that allow you to edit PDFs, even draw on PDFs, that are also compatible with Google. Kami - The Kami Chrome extension and Drive App is probably the number one recommended PDF editor in the education space. I know many schools that use it. It is freemium, meaning you can use some features for free, and it integrates beautifully with Google Classroom. DocHub is another application that some teachers use to edit PDF documents and save to Google Drive. A quick search will also help you find alternatives, but these are the two most recommended by educators. Once you have installed the Kami or DocHub extension (and it is installed for students), they will be able to mark-up and write on the PDF. Don’t forget to assign it in Google Classroom and attach the PDF from Drive. Be sure to give students directions on how to use the tool. You really don’t want to miss this episode! There are so many good nuggets of information on how best to use technology and G Suite in your classroom! Podcast Question of the Week [30:09] - This week’s podcast question is: What worksheets or packets do you need to rethink?

Engaged! Strategies - Episode S101 - Annotating Literature in Groups by Engaged!

In this episode, I’m joined by Kiran Vajapey, a human-computer interaction developer at Figure Eight. In this interview, Kiran shares some of what he’s has learned through his work developing applications for data collection and annotation at Figure Eight and earlier in his career. We explore techniques like data augmentation, domain adaptation, and active and transfer learning for enhancing and enriching training datasets. We also touch on the use of Imagenet and other public datasets for real-world AI applications. If you like what you hear in this interview, Kiran will be speaking at my AI Summit April 30th and May 1st in Las Vegas and I’ll be joining Kiran at the upcoming Figure Eight TrainAI conference, May 9th&10th in San Francisco.

Panel:  Joe Eames Alyssa Nicoll Charles Max Wood Ward Bell Aaron Frost In the episode of Adventures in Angular, the panel’s discussion topic is about upgrading Angular. The panel covers preparation and the difficulties of getting started with the upgrade service. Notably, basic users do not understand the process of the updated with simple applications. Also, playing with the idea to rewrite your applications in Angular directly, or do we just upgrade? In particular, we dive pretty deep on: NG upgrading - preparation with a module loader. It is a mess to get started Look at you Angular JSJ, and ask what am I gaining by doing this? Can you write it in a different Angular directly? How long till am I off of Angular JS or Backbone? Application is written in Angular JS Legacy documentation for updates Annotating and bundling Angular solves the performance stuff Having someone in charge of it will have a smooth transition Convenient function with upgrading Upgrading big applications vs. Rewriting. Typescript Migration Upgrading components and much more!

Technology Information: Applications for Annotating Documents

Howdy! It's been a long time, but we are back with a new episode! This time around, after years - and years - of talking about virtual reality, and augmented reality, they're finally here, and that means figuring out how to actually make it work seamlessly in daily life. Researcher Pulkit Budhiraja and his colleagues have been thinking about a problem with virtual reality: how do you pick up physical, real world objects while you're in an immersive, virtual environment? (Via Technology Review) Nora Young also mentions the Reality Cave at Communitech. Has this happened to you? You get a link on social media that sounds like an interesting read, and then you're taken to a 5,000 word article? Great read, maybe, but so long! Cathi Bond talks about Pith.li, a sort of 'highlighter for the Internet' that allows you to share an article but highlight what you find interesting (via PSFK).

Mrs. Larson and Mrs. Spencer take on annotating as a way to become a better reader, thinker and writer. The conversation looks at various strategies and ideas for parents to encourage their children to notice, question and summarize what they read.

How to annotate PDFs within Mendeley

In this episode, Peter Brantley, the director of scholarly communication at the start-up Hypothes.is, talks with host Stewart Wills about the firm's efforts to build an open annotation layer on the Web, his thoughts on how in-line annotation differs, in both spirit and potential, from the more common practice of online comment streams, and some possible applications in scholarly communication, publishing, and peer review.

Annotating digital texts.

Learn how you can create a more environmentally friendly classroom by conducting your lab activities on mobile devices such as iPad, with PDF files and apps like neu.annotate, instead of paper. This tutorial was created by Bill Seng, Science Educator at Lenape High School.

Why do I have to write multiple comments on every page that I read? That doesn't help me learn! If anything, it ruins the flow of the book. IT PISSES ME OFF!

Diigo is a very useful social bookmarking site that also allows you to annotate web pages, saving your comments for you to see later or to share with others.
