Machine Learning for Environmental Monitoring in Wireless Sensor Networks

Parikshit N. Mahalle

Today, data fuels everything we do in a highly connected world. However, traditional environmental monitoring methods often fail to provide timely and accurate data for effective decision-making in today's rapidly changing ecosystems. The reliance on manual data collection and outdated technologies results in gaps in data coverage, making it challenging to detect and respond to environmental changes in real time. Additionally, integration between monitoring systems and advanced data analysis tools is necessary to derive actionable insights from collected data. As a result, environmental managers and policymakers face significant challenges in effectively monitoring, managing, and conserving natural resources in a rapidly evolving environment. Machine Learning for Environmental Monitoring in Wireless Sensor Networks offers a comprehensive solution to the limitations of traditional environmental monitoring methods. By harnessing the power of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) and advanced machine learning algorithms, this book presents a novel approach to ecological monitoring that enables real-time, high-resolution data collection and analysis. By integrating WSNs and machine learning, environmental stakeholders can gain deeper insights into complex ecological processes, allowing for more informed decision-making and proactive management of natural resources.

Affordances and Constraints of Mobile Phone Use in English Language Arts Classrooms

Clarice M. Moran

The use of phones in the classroom is a controversial topic that receives a variety of reactions and can have political ramifications. In various school districts across different states, as well as in some countries, cell phone usage has been banned in the classroom to combat what administrators say is a distracted student population. However, research demonstrates that cell phones can have a positive effect on learning and engagement. Instead of banning cell phones, some teachers have found ways to incorporate educational apps, gaming apps, and social media into course materials. Although much research has emerged involving the integration of technology and digital literacies in English language arts (ELA) classrooms, mobile phone use as a discrete construct has not been explored widely. Affordances and Constraints of Mobile Phone Use in English Language Arts Classrooms aims to shine a light on the controversial topic of mobile phones in the English language arts classroom, focusing on comparing the opportunities that they afford students, as well as the negative effects they can have on learning. The chapters within this book examine learning outcomes, best practices, and practical applications for using mobile phones in ELA and adds to the body of literature on mobile phone use in secondary classrooms in general, standing as a unique resource on mobile phones in the language arts curriculum. While highlighting topics that include gaming applications, online learning, student engagement, and classroom management, this book is ideally designed for inservice and preservice teachers, administrators, teacher educators, practitioners, stakeholders, researchers, academicians, and students who are interested in learning more about the pluses and minuses of mobile phone use in ELA.
