  <Title>Monitoring Global Environmental Change with NASA Satellite I</Title>
  <Tagline>Spring 2011 First Year Seminar - Dr. Ana Prados</Tagline>
  <Body>
    <![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><strong>FYS  103N - Monitoring Global Environmental Change with NASA Satellite Imagery</strong>
              <p><em>(S non-lab) GEP</em>          </p>
              <p>Th 4:30PM - 7:00PM</p>
              <p>Engineering Building Rm. 104</p>
              <p>Dr. Ana Prados</p><p><br></p>
              <p>This course will utilize NASA Satellite Imagery, newly created visualizations, and
                analysis and decision-support web-tools to provide a First Year Seminar (FYS). The course
                will provide students with an opportunity for early exposure to the Earth Sciences by learning
                how earth satellite monitoring is currently utilized in environmental and societal applications.
                The course structure will be a combination of in-class lectures, directed web-based hands-on
                activities, and student presentations, and will be taught at a computer lab on campus. In-class
                time will be divided evenly between lectures and hands-on computer exercises. <br></p><p>The course
                curriculum will primarily rely on NASA imagery and tools to teach 1) basic earth system science 
                principles, climate variability and atmospheric chemistry and 2) Environmental and societal 
                implications of climate change, stratospheric ozone depletion, and air pollution. Students will 
                form 2-person teams to produce a total of 10 Student presentations to be provided throughout the 
                semester. Students will choose (and/or will be assigned) one of the lecture topics and then utilize 
                the concepts and tools learned in the course to deliver a Case Study at the local or regional level 
                in the U.S or internationally. A Case Study uses imagery and analysis tools to explain current or 
                past environmental conditions and provides a discussion of at least one environmental (e.g. crop 
                damage, acid rain, biodiversity loss) and one societal (e.g. health, economics, flood damage, etc) 
              aspect.</p></div>

    <br>This course explores the concept of   sustainability, and how it is 
    presented in popular American culture. We will   examine cultural 
    conversations and beliefs about the environment and about   pressing 
    environmental challenges, investigating how attitudes toward these   
    issues get presented, debated, and constructed in American culture, 
    through such   media as books, movies, television, poetry, art, and news
     stories. Students will   be expected to critically analyze readings and
     viewings, to discuss and reflect   upon their own environmental 
    attitudes and experiences, and to produce creative   writing, digital 
    stories, research presentations, and a final essay exploring an   issue 
    of their choice related to sustainability in American culture.<br><br><br></div>

    <Title>Google GMail - Why it Matters</Title>
    <Body>
      <![CDATA[
          <div class="html-content">In December, after consultation with the IT Steering Committee, <a href="https://sites.google.com/a/umbc.edu/gmail-migration/home/announcements-1/studentaccountmigrationtogooglebeginsjan10th2011" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">DoIT announced </a>we would move forward with plans to migrate all the remaining UMBC student accounts over to Gmail starting January 10. This is progressing smoothly and will be done by before the spring semester starts. 
          
          In a recent post to the <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2011/01/destination-dial-tone-getting-google.html" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Google Enterprise Blog</a>, Google announced that for calendar year 2010 that they Google Mail was available 99.984% of the year. That translates into 84 minutes of downtime for the year, or 7 minutes a month. What is amazing is that this includes scheduled downtime needed for Google to implement new features. 
          
          DoIT's goal is to provide the most robust set of IT services possible, whether we provide them directly or integrate third party vendors into our infrastructure. For email, we believe that Google is a great choice for student email and will provide a high quality of service. 
          
          Since most faculty and staff continue to remain on UMBC's email infrastructure, the good news is that during the most recent fall six months we have had comparable uptime to Google!</div>

  <Title>myUMBC 1 - Google Site 0 , Bottom of the 4th</Title>
  <Body>
    <![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">With the start of the new year I thought I would update my personal web site. Last year I used the Apple <a href="http://www.apple.com/ilife/iweb" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">iWeb</a> product. I found the product to be a reasonable tool but it was designed to work with Apple's MobileMe product and not UMBC. As a result, I didn't like the way it organized the files and what you had to do to upload the files onto UMBC's servers. 
    
    My initial reaction was to use <a href="http://www.google.com/sites/help/intl/en/overview.html" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Google Sites</a> but ultimately I did this using myUMBC. I thought I would share my story and see what others think. Google Sites is designed to be an easy to use web creation tool. The tagline is "Google Sites makes creating and sharing a group website easy."
    
    Google Sites is available as part of the Google Apps for Education program that UMBC is utilizing. Sign into <a href="http://gmail.umbc.edu/">http://gmail.umbc.edu/</a> and then click on the word Sites in the upper left where you see the other modules such as Mail or Calendar. Once you enter Sites you can select a template to use, one real advantage of Sites is that it has a variety of templates that you can examine and then select one as your template. 
    
    For a variety of projects this is probably great but to use as a professional web site I found few if any good templates to use. Saying that, it you wanted to create a web site for managing a project or some other types of collaboration where nice templates exist you might find Google Sites perfect. 
    
    After spending more that an hour looking at templates and experimenting with dozens of templates I selected one to try. The challenge I found with Sites what that it was not intuitive how to do things. I wanted to easily pull in items from my TechBits blog and twitter account. After "Googling" for help and reading different Google help articles I still couldn't figure out how to do what I wanted. After three hours of playing around I had an web site that didn't do anything I wanted - <a href="https://sites.google.com/a/umbc.edu/jack_suess/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">https://sites.google.com/a/umbc.edu/jack_suess/</a>
    
     I then talked to Collier Jones our myUMBC portal architect and asked whether it might be possible to try using the myUMBC groups to do a personal web site. He was more than willing and set me up with a site in myUMBC for me try out. One of the downsides of myUMBC is that you don't have the thousands of templates that you can choose from. 
    
    That said, you do have the ability to customize things based through the Settings menu. In working with myUMBC the only item that was not intuitive to me was how to create a spotlight. Once I learned the trick of clicking the Thumbnail image on the right hand side of the Spotlights menu I was off and running. I spent about three hours playing with this and produced the following web site: <a href="http://my.umbc.edu/groups/jack/home" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">http://my.umbc.edu/groups/jack/home</a> .
    
    What I like about myUMBC is that it is relatively easy to pull in blogs and media and use the simple text editor to create additional pages for your web site. MyUMBC doesn't give you all the options for Google Sites but what it does, it does well. 
    
    One item missing from myUMBC is some basic help sheets or tutorials on each of pages. This would have helped me on the question of making a spotlight the first time. I don't know if myUMBC will ever be the spot for personal web pages but I was impressed with how well it worked. For what I wanted, I gave myUMBC the edge. 
    
    I think with some formal training I could get Google Sites to work as well. For that reason I don't think the game is over. Please share your experience with myUMBC groups or Google Sites by sending me an email to<a href="mailto:%20jack@umbc.edu%20" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"> jack@umbc.edu </a></div>
