SkyOrb Part B: Current Resources Integrated into the Digital Teaching and Learning Plan All of the network backbone and hardware we currently have will be used in this project. We are running on fiber within the district. The High School already has enough student devices to go one-to- one. Even though we have enough devices, we currently have the computers in mobile labs and have not yet given the computers to the students to take them home. Part of our plan will be a phased approach—we will give the computers to the students so they can take it with them for the day while in school. The second phase will allow the students to take the computer home. As far as the software goes, every electronic tool we currently employ can be imbedded in Canvas. Section 3: LEA Capacity and Goals Statement of Purpose that Describes the Learning Objectives, Goals, Measurable Outcomes, and Metrics of Success an LEA Will Accomplish by Implementing the Program A. Statement of Purpose: Creating Standards and Competency Based Outcomes in a Personalized Student-driven Learning Environment District Mission and Digital Learning Vision For as far back as teachers and administrators can remember, Daggett School District has had a culture of high expectations and high student achievement. Parents, who now have their own children attending Daggett schools, recognize and celebrate that the culture they grew up with still exists. This plan will incorporate that set of existing values, utilizing current resources to enhance and support digital learning, rather than divert, from this well-earned culture. Our school culture is built upon a solid foundation, that of the District Mission. "The mission of Daggett School District is to create a learning environment where every student masters the skills and knowledge necessary for meaningful participation in a changing world." The statement "in a changing world" has more meaning today than it ever has had before, especially from when the district mission was first written. The Daggett School District Digital Learning Vision expands on that very idea. We will continue to support the culture of education within our district by improving classroom instruction, student and parent engagement, and the teaching and learning processes. In that vision, we will move toward on-demand, 24/7 learning and flipped classrooms in that students will be able to access general information and teacher designed coursework anytime, anywhere. Daggett School District believes in providing teachers learning management support structures, collaboration systems, formative assessment systems, and instructional practices that are research-based. We believe in providing student and parent access to quality digital curriculum for every subject taught delivered from a quality Learning Management System (LMS), namely Canvas. That content will be directly related to Utah Core Standards; furthermore, ongoing access to proven software will be available. Our vision includes rubrics defining competency for each of the standards and subjects taught. All components of a course will be available to students and parents anytime, anywhere; the instructional content, the learning activities, remediation and extension activities, and assignments. Another part of our Digital Learning Vision emphasizes the need for diagnostic testing of students prior to their taking a course of study. Since Daggett School District believes that support in the Utah Core and systemic support for student engagement and classroom innovation is required, all stakeholders involved should be able to determine what a student knows and does not know. Time is a valuable resource and should not be wasted teaching students what they already know; furthermore, courses should be customized around what a student does not know. Digital tools and learning resources make it possible to innovate and personalize a student’s learning experience either in the physical or the digital classroom. Other aspects of the Daggett School District's Digital Teaching and Learning Vision include: • Preparing students for college and careers including an emphasis on higher-order problem solving across the curriculum. • Broadening STEM career path options for students. • Supporting the drive toward on-demand, 24/7 learning and the flipped classroom. • Drive economic development by providing students the skills and experiences they need to give Utah companies the quality workforce that they need. • Move towards 66% by 2020 P.A.C.E. Goals. Root Causes and Core Components Through stakeholder input gathered and interpreted by the Future Ready Action Planning Process and tool in step two of this application process, the data clearly identified three specific elements of performance challenge under the Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment gear. They are 21st Century Skills/Deeper Learning, Personalized Learning, and Collaborative, Relevant, and Applied Learning. The first of these challenges are a result of the district not yet reviewing the 21st Century Skills/Deeper learning competencies, selecting a set of skills that resonate with all stakeholders, and then integrating those skills into all curricula. Support materials, information resources, professional development, and pilot programs have not yet been developed. Daggett School District lacks a system for providing consistent and quality instruction regarding 21st century skills and digital citizenship. The grant will provide us with the financial resources to develop grade-level specific courses that introduce 21st century skills and cover the nine components of digital citizenship. We will build the college and career/workforce readiness of our students by providing content through Canvas, utilizing a structured PK-12 scope and sequence. The second of these performance challenges has to do with personalized learning. The idea of personalized and digital learning in Daggett School District is new to our teachers and we recognize the complexity and significance of the change management process that will be required for success. Such a change will require a shift in teaching philosophy, technical understanding, and a deeper skill level; however,

  • OSINT Handbook September 2020
    OPEN SOURCE INTELLIGENCE TOOLS AND RESOURCES HANDBOOK 2020 OPEN SOURCE INTELLIGENCE TOOLS AND RESOURCES HANDBOOK 2020 Aleksandra Bielska Noa Rebecca Kurz, Yves Baumgartner, Vytenis Benetis 2 Foreword I am delighted to share with you the 2020 edition of the OSINT Tools and Resources Handbook. Once again, the Handbook has been revised and updated to reflect the evolution of this discipline, and the many strategic, operational and technical challenges OSINT practitioners have to grapple with. Given the speed of change on the web, some might question the wisdom of pulling together such a resource. What’s wrong with the Top 10 tools, or the Top 100? There are only so many resources one can bookmark after all. Such arguments are not without merit. My fear, however, is that they are also shortsighted. I offer four reasons why. To begin, a shortlist betrays the widening spectrum of OSINT practice. Whereas OSINT was once the preserve of analysts working in national security, it now embraces a growing class of professionals in fields as diverse as journalism, cybersecurity, investment research, crisis management and human rights. A limited toolkit can never satisfy all of these constituencies. Second, a good OSINT practitioner is someone who is comfortable working with different tools, sources and collection strategies. The temptation toward narrow specialisation in OSINT is one that has to be resisted. Why? Because no research task is ever as tidy as the customer’s requirements are likely to suggest. Third, is the inevitable realisation that good tool awareness is equivalent to good source awareness. Indeed, the right tool can determine whether you harvest the right information.

Jeff Ream - MSCA 2016 Our Tech Discography For each tech tool we will: 1. Discuss it. 2. Demo it. 3. Connect it. All in just 5 to 7 minutes each. This will be a “get your feet wet” approach. Each tool has TONS of resources to help you learn more about it online. Jeff Ream - MSCA 2016 Twitter Jeff Ream - MSCA 2016 Discuss: Twitter ➔ Social networking site that users interact using “Tweets” which are 140 character long pieces of information. Started in 2006. ➔ The definition of twitter is “a short burst of inconsequential information” and “a series of chirps from birds”. ➔ So how did Twitter get its name? Supposedly, the name was inspired by the photo-sharing site, Flickr, and other considerations were FriendStalker and Dodgeball. ➔ School counselors are very active on Twitter. We connect using #scchat. ◆ A “#” (hashtag) is a sorting and searching tool in Twitter (and other social media sites). ◆ Adding a hashtag allows tweets to be searched for (we can ignore Kim K’s tweets this way). Jeff Ream - MSCA 2016 Demo: Twitter Stop! Demo Time. Jeff Ream - MSCA 2016 Connect: Twitter ➔ Professional Development ◆ This is my #1 pro-d tool. I turn to Twitter first when I have a question. ◆ Monthly organized real-time chat (#scchat) about various topics related to school counseling. ◆ Constantly learn about new tools, issues in school counseling, connect with colleagues and more. ➔ Stakeholder Communication ◆ Always check your district policies, but I suggest starting a Twitter account for your school counseling department.
