Global learning in the 21st century
In this 21st century, technological and social changes have never been as rapid as before, and educative practices must evolve and innovate to keep up. What is being done by educators today to prepare future global citizens? What are the skills and competencies that will be required by our students? What changes in how we approach education might need to be made? This book presents a modern focus on some significant issues in teaching, learning, and research that are valuable in preparing students for the 21st century. The book discusses these issues in four sections. The first section presents contemporary, innovative curriculum and pedagogical practices that are relevant for the 21st century. This also includes how social networking has an integrated role within current educative practice. The next section then explores issues and current research around motivation and engagement, and how these are changing in this era of technological and social change. The third section presents debates around inclusion and social contexts, both global and local. Finally, the fourth section explores current discourses in regard to internationalisation and globalisation and how these are being considered in educational research. The book is an important representation of some of the work currently being done for these rapidly changing times. It will appeal to academics, researchers, teacher educators, educational administrators, teachers and anyone interested in preparing students for a modern and globally interconnected world.

Getting in touch with your PCK : a look into discovering and revealing science teachers' hidden expert knowledge
Many experienced teachers make rolling out a science class appear to be easy. In reality there is usually deep and complex thinking behind their practice. This knowledge is sometimes so intrinsic and part of their everyday practice, that it remains hidden and unexplored This article presents data from a study that attempted to draw out such knowledge from expert science teachers by using a framework called Content Representations (CoRes). It was found that CoRes was a very useful tool for teachers in revealing aspects of, and informing their current practice, and might offer teachers a new way of viewing their professional knowledge of practice.

Getting in Touch with Your PCK: A Look into Discovering and Revealing Science Teachers' Hidden Expert Knowledge
Many experienced teachers make rolling out a science class appear to be easy. In reality, there is usually deep and complex thinking behind their practice. This knowledge is sometimes so intrinsic and part of their everyday practice, that it remains hidden and unexplored. This article presents data from a study that attempted to draw out such knowledge from expert science teachers by using a framework called Content Representations (CoRes). It was found that CoRes was a very useful tool for teachers in revealing aspects of, and informing their current practice, and might offer teachers a new way of viewing their professional knowledge of practice.

Enhancing Science Teachers’ Knowledge of Practice by Explicitly Developing Pedagogical Content Knowledge
Pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) is an academic construct which represents the particular and specialised knowledge that teachers possess and develop over time. PCK blends together a teacher’s knowledge of content, knowledge of pedagogical approaches and knowledge of their particular students in ways which effectively enhances student learning. This knowledge is often complex and usually so deeply a part of a teacher’s intrinsic practice that it is tacit and, more often than not, inaccessible. The research presented in this thesis aims to capture, portray and develop participating science teachers’ PCK; and in so doing, examine whether this explicit awareness has any influence on their professional practice.Over the course of two years, six practising teachers (three middle school science teachers, one senior science teacher and two generalist primary school teachers) participated in the research. The participating teachers were involved in a pre- and post-test study with an intervention into their existing practice being based on their learning about, and use of, two instruments: Content Representations (CoRes); and, Pedagogical and Professional-experience Repertoires (PaP-eRs).The research revealed that CoRes and PaP-eRs significantly helped all six participating teachers to develop an awareness and understanding of PCK and that these instruments prompted meaningful reflection of their practice. The data demonstrated that CoRes and PaP-eRs provided a structure on which the participating teachers could frame new ways of thinking about teaching and learning; and thus enhance their understanding and valuing of their professional knowledge of practice.

Discover the power of Bash on Windows
Microsoft Windows may be the dominant player on the desktop, but the rapidly increasing open source software market-especially for admin and dev tools-clearly favors Linux. [...]VMs consume a significant amount of resources and don’t provide a first-class Linux experience, as you can’t edit local files or get full access to local drives, for example. [ Download the Deep Dive: The essential guide to PowerShell for Windows, Windows Server, and Exchange. | Our guide to Exchange-based tools in Windows, MacOS, iOS, and Android: desktop Outlook vs. mobile Outlook vs. native apps. ] As the IT world is turning toward Linux for many projects, Microsoft has come up with a new offering to tap into this growing market. With a native Linux experience, developers can run Linux commands on Windows, including access to local files and drives. Currently, many developers use Windows and Linux tools, which means they have to perform dual-booting or run Linux inside a virtual machine to get the CLI capabilities. While some people have been able to run Linux GUI apps inside Windows, many people get a handy Linux CLI to perform simple tasks without purchasing a dedicated Linux machine from Azure or move to a Mac device for simple purposes. [...]Bash on Windows was brought about for the development community. If you intend to run server processes under production workloads on Ubuntu, you should look at other alternatives for running a full Linux operating system. [...]Bash on Windows brings the Linux capabilities to Windows.

The story of a 'System frickin' Administrator, not developer, you hear me?'
Joe Schmoe is a system administrator at Acme Corp. Acme is an SMB that cranks out widgets as fast as it can. Joe strolled into the office one day after a busy weekend of the usual server maintenance to find that no one could access their mailbox. Apparently, the test environment the team was using was slightly different than the production environment, which prevented an important item to be added to the test procedure. [...]we didn't have proper testing procedures in place and forgot to check a particular configuration item that had some dangerous ramifications, as you saw. Mel thought for a second and said, \"I've heard that Exchange Server has great PowerShell scripting support and you can do a lot with scripts. Never in his 20-year career as a support person, helpdesk tech, and Windows system administrator has he ever been told he essentially wasn't good enough. Joe had no idea at the time but little did he know that that this encounter with Mel would be the spark that he desperately needed to light a fire under him to bring him into a more DevOps-focused mindset.

The Three Ways: Core principles of devops
CIOs are clamoring to get \"the devops\" ASAP to benefit from devops's promise of delivering software to customers faster, with fewer bugs by creating a culture where developers and operations work hand-in-hand. The hype around devops is massive but even though the word devops was coined nearly eight years ago, people still are having trouble wrapping their head around the concept. Because 'devops' is not a piece of software, it's not a project management principle, and it's not a new development methodology. devops is a culture and cultures are traditionally hard to define.
