Rapid globalization and the emergence of new instructional technologies have encouraged educators to explore technologies like podcasting and blogging to enhance their teaching. This study examines how six English speakers of other languages (ESOL) teachers used podcasting and blogging to help young English learners, themselves 21st century digital citizens. The ESOL teachers used technology to develop innovative teaching methods and enhance their professional identities. Four themes emerged from the examination of ESOL teachers' uses of new technologies to increase peer engagement through deep classroom interaction: ESOL teachers' varying levels of use of instructional innovations, dialogic uses of podcasting and blogging to encourage educational engagement, the impact of innovative technology on teachers' professional identities, teaching digital-native English learners, benefits of technology for assignments, and challenges for ESOL teachers' active learning.
The interaction using digital media has been widely utilized in modern art. In particular, network based digital media enables two-way and real-time communication regardless of time and place. Network is possible to connect to effective and meaningful communication of extended relationship. This study proposes novel human-MediaFacade interaction method through a mechanism on interworking between 3D mapping technology and social media, smart devices. This study has an important meaning which can be set multi-user interaction. And a study of creating 'Facade' which interaction has high artistic value.
This study was intended to obtain the basic data for a wide range of microplastics (MPs) contamination studies. The contamination of MPs in seafood and processed seafood products distributed in Incheon area was quantified. For this, 51 seafoods and 50 processed seafood products in Incheon were collected randomly from January 2019 to October 2019, and the abundance, size, and type of MPs in the samples were identified by FT-IR spectroscopy. The average MPs content was 1.06±3.38 MPs/g and 0.89±1.29 MPs/g in seafoods and processed seafood products, respectively. In both samples, MPs of 100-500 μm accounted for the majority of the particles, with the most common MPs as polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP). However, the level of contamination of MPs in each of the samples was significantly different, even for the same species. For more accurate analysis of MPs contamination in seafoods and processed seafood products, specific information such as habitat, environment, market supply, regional source, and production process might be required. In addition, extensive and continuous accumulation of data is necessary for them to be used as the basic data with a standardized method for analyzing MPs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
