Abstract: It is time consuming task for parents to check the regular presence of the children in the school. But this project of sending information to the parents whose children were absent from the school through GSM in the form of SMS will give an easy, low cost and automatic solution. This project presents a system to monitor pickup of school children to enhance the safety of children during the daily transportation to school. The system consists of two main units, a bus unit and a school unit. The bus unit system is used to detect when a child boards the bus. This information is communicated to the school unit that identifies which of the children did not board the bus and issues an alert message accordingly. The system has a developed PC-based database-driven application that facilities its management and provides useful information about the children to authorized personal. A complete prototype of the proposed system was implemented and tested to validate the system functionality. The results show that the system is promising for daily transportation safety. The technology implemented here is aimed to detect the presence of a particular student who enters into the school bus and by sensing the presence of student, this information is passed to the school from where the absent students information is sent to the student parent’s mobile through GSM. This entire information is stored in the computer simultaneously.

According to the National Education Association, at least 100,000 students bring guns to school, 160,000 students skip classes because they fear physical harm, 40 students are killed or hurt by firearms, nearly 6,250 teachers are threatened with bodily injury, and 260 teachers are physically assaulted. These facts are not based on once year, but as every single school day. Could one even imagine what the numbers might look like on scale for a month of school, let alone a whole year? So would starting with searching lockers really be a step to far to try and lower the numbers? Some may think yes due to the school invading the students’ privacy. The majority of people though will say no, doing searches of student’s lockers is not a bad
In the ever changing world we live in, communication has been one of the largest and most substantial revolutions faced. When it comes to communication between parents and their children, the invention of the mobile phone has never made it easier for quick contact. Many, if not all parents want to establish and utilize the most efficient communication method with their child at all times. In schools, parents can have need to contact their children in a personal, or fast manner that can not be achieved through the school landlines alone. Cell phones give parents and students the opportunity to connect with ease, and in a non intrusive way. Many concerns are brought to fruition when considering the method of contact between these parents and their children in the school environment. Two of the biggest concerns are how the contact will be established, and whether or not it will be efficient enough for
One of the common ways to solve the problem is to build a parking lot, but they aren’t able to take into consideration the cost of the whole building and the matter on if the students will even guarantee a parking spot (John Peloza, Moritz Loock, James Cerruti, and Michael Muyot.). Since the parking lot is always full and students and staff are usually scrambling to find spots, it would be easier to create a system in which the user can be able to reserve spots in the parking lot. To be able to help students who are waste time looking for their car, it will have a car tracker. It mainly keeps track of where the car is parked with by the parking number and GPS to where the car is currently located in. Most students drive themselves to school; this makes students take up more space in the parking lot. To properly use the parking spaces there will be options to make carpooling more easily accessible. For instance, students who carpool could have closer parking. Another option is to give students the option to carpool with a person who is on the route to school.
For this assignment, I observed my six year old niece, Faustine Bui who was born on August 16, 2007, at the park where I was babysitting her with her mom for approximately thirty minutes. The park I observed her at is packed with children and dogs are allowed. There is a large play area with jungle-jims and slide and it includes a sandy area which has a variety of playing equipment as well.
My proposed application would allow for an organization, such as a school, account for students, faculty, and visitors in a simpler, faster and more accurate way by leveraging today’s smartphone technology and organizations already existing personnel tracking systems. Smartphones
Another key development for this modern world is the new phone app designed for children. The “Help Me” app is designed specifically for children in unsafe situations. Pressing the app sounds an alarm and sends two text messages to pre-installed safety numbers. Included in the text is the GPS coordinates of the location the text is sent from. Considering 80% of all stranger abductions occurs within 500 meters of the child’s home, this app is a must have for all children. The “Help Me” app has already been successfully used for this

Mobile is a compulsory for everyone which can be bring to anywhere without geographical boundaries with multiple usages as people in Malaysia have a busy work life, and they might not have time to get in touch with agent to make enquiries or booking for their travel. There are different travel applications available in cell phone, for example application for hotel booking, flight ticket information, transport, introduction of travel destination, deals and etc. Thus, mobile become an essential thing in their daily life, they can manage to plan and make booking for their travel without any time and geographical boundaries. This is a more effective and efficient
Prerequisites: CFS 38 or CFS 39 or PSYCH 101. Techniques in observing and recording development and behavior of school age children. Interpretation and reporting of observational data. Emphasis on children 6 to 13 years of age in diverse elementary school settings from developmental, ecological and systems perspectives. (3 hours lecture; 3 hour lab)
Today, we can send information all over the world instantly; however movement and activities can be tracked through computers and cell phones. With new and improved technology, it can improve lives, increase public safety, build wealth and promote efficiencies in how we use scarce resources. Researchers,
The technology available to my cooperating teacher and I includes, Smartboard, doc cam, computer, laptobs, osmo, and Ipads. . I have observed my cooperating teacher use the doc cam to project differnt documents onto the smartboard. I have seen her use the smart board to write on or use interactive media on. I have also seen her use the ipads to hel pstudents in the classroom. She used her computer and laptop mulitple times to either project a video for students or to show an assignment. We recently recieved an osmo in the classroom. She spent a few days showing students how to use the osmo and we are finding other ways to implement it in the classroom as
With the evolution of technology and the internet, there have been upcoming concerns concerning information privacy. The internet has increased the level of information that can be gathered and analyzed. Over the last decade, there have been groundbreaking improvements in technology which have enhanced whet people can d with the technology at any given time. For instance, through the use of the internet, one can use global system positioning system locators to acquire real time data about a person or object’s movement and speed. This was not nearly possible thirty years ago. Another example is that cell phones embedded with E-911 services can be used to locate an individual’s precise location (Waldo, Lin and Millett, 2007). Such devices are mostly used by parents to monitor their children’s whereabouts.
Tracking is the grouping of students by perceived academic abilities for instruction. As a pedagogical strategy, tracking was initially introduced into U.S. public schools in the early 1900’s as a way to educate and socialize the broadly changing population of urban, northern cities that swelled from European immigration and poor southern black transplants seeking better opportunities. Societal beliefs of the time regarding distinct division of classes and the requisite assimilation of immigrants into American culture resulted in new educational laws that popularized a system that segregated classrooms into “slow, bright and deficient” (Ansalone, 2010, p. 4) levels of learners. Tracking was viewed and used as a practical strategy in
Analysing children’s writing is critically important because it allows teachers to have an understanding of what the child knows already, and what he/she needs to build on with their writing (Stewart, 2012). In the paragraphs ahead, two samples have been chosen and have been analysed using the Victorian Essential Learning Standards and the Western Australia First Steps Developmental Continuum.
Secondly, it is no doubt that using mobile phones in campuses has many advantages. One reason is that using mobile phones in schools provide a new platform for education systems similarly as laptops, desktops and personal digital assistant (Rankin, 2008). Use mobile phones may help people to download power point slides, take notes, share ideas with others by Bluetooth and research questions on web side etc. Moreover mobile phones are used to check class schedules or take quizzes on the way to schools (Kharif 2008). The other reason is that students may have a good communication with their parents by using mobile phones during school time even for emergency situations. There is two third of parents contact their children during campus time, mainly to awoke them of medical appointments or other commitments. (Beattie, 2009) Consequently, students should be encouraged bring mobile phones to school.
