Touro University California: How to Create your Research Day Poster Presentation
updated
Original description:
Today is Military Family Appreciation Day. Today, we recognize the strength, resilience, and sacrifice of the families who support our Canadian Armed Forces and RCMP service members.
While our military members serve on the front lines, their families serve in countless ways at home. They endure long separations, frequent moves, and the daily uncertainty that comes with military life.
To the spouses, children, parents, and loved ones of those in uniform: thank you!
We see you. We appreciate you. The Legion stands with you.

Their comprehensive national study examines the regulation, governance, and scope of activity of distance learning providers in New Zealand's schools sector. The report includes a clarification of the nomenclature around distance learning in the schools sector in New Zealand based on existing government documents and the broader literature in the field, as well as a detailed discussion of the evolution of distance learning in the schools sector. With an estimated ~36,000 students enrolled in distance learning courses in 2023 (approx. ~4% of NZ's school population) distance learning is expected to grow as we move forward to a rapidly increasing digital future.

Original video description: Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo 2024 March
August is here, and that’s a big month for Bagpipes!
In August, Scotland goes a bit more bagpipe crazy than usual!
In Edinburgh, the massed Pipes and Drums of the Military Tattoo provide a soundtrack over the city, 6 nights a week during the Festival.
I thought I would go and capture a wee video of the march out of the massed bands on their exit from Edinburgh Castle the other night on the first performance.
For me this was the inspiration that found me where I am today. Sitting as a small child, watching the #scottish #spectacular in front of the stunning back drop of Edinburgh Castle, and I decided I wanted to play Bagpipes!
In Glasgow, the Piping Live festival starts next week, with solo piping concerts from some of the best pipers around. Scottish folk bands featuring pipes. Then of course, two days of head to head Pipe Band competition with the World Pipe Band Championships, to judge who is the 2024 best Pipe Bands in the world (this is a graded system, from Novice juvenile bands, all the way up to grade 1 and the pinnacle of adult Pipe Band competition)
Lets not forget, Perth. Who are hosting the European Pipe Band Championships on Sunday 11th August.)
Hope you enjoy this video of the 2024 Massed Pipes and Drums of the Edinburgh Military Tattoo, maybe it inspires you to play bagpipes too!
Have a great day!

Michael visited New Zealand, during March and April 2024, undertaking a national survey of, and interviews with, primary and secondary distance learning organisations. His research will look to identify trends found within the data collected from the distance learning providers and make recommendations to allow for a rationale growth of primary and secondary virtual learning in New Zealand.
The COVID-19 pandemic showed that distance/virtual learning within the school sector was possible, but it also highlighted much of the inequity within the system. It is important to understand distance/virtual learning prior to the pandemic, the specific impact the pandemic had, and how it has emerged post-pandemic. A critical part of the research is to examine the potential of distance/virtual learning to ensure equity of access and opportunity for our Māori students, and those not living in major urban areas.
This discussion focused on what has been ascertained so far and what trends are beginning to be seen; and postulates on how elearning and distance education, when delivered well, can address many of the inequity barriers to obtaining an education.

Event Description: Online and virtual learning options are not just for emergency situations, they should be a part of the regular educational ecosystem that is public schooling. So what are the key things to figure out when you're thinking about establishing virtual programming for your students? What are the decisions that need to be made about the structure of your program? The mode and modality of instruction? The affordances and limitations of various tools that can be used to provide synchronous instruction, asynchronous course content and communication, and/or student assessment? The specific supports that students might need in order to have success? These are all questions that will be explored in this session.
Collection Name: Virtual Learning Essentials
Collection Description: Virtual Learning Essentials is a series of presentations from experts, researchers, and authors, featuring deep dives into essential elements of virtual learning. Sessions topics include interaction, engagement, and supporting students.
