What the Olympics Are Really About | Barry KornfeldBarry Kornfeld
Many athletes dream of one day competing in the Olympic Games and taking home the gold. The Olympics are made up of the greatest athletes in the world competing for the most coveted and sought-after medals. It is an international sports festival that is held every four years with both Summer Games and Winter Games. While people are watching from all over the world supporting their country and hoping they’ll come out on top, the Olympics aren’t all about winning.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

2. THE MODERN OLYMPIC GAMES
•Coubertin believed that
that could inspire a feeling
of unity and peace among the many nations of the world.
•In 1894 at an international congress, which was actually devised for the study of
amateur sports, he voiced his view on the revival of the Olympic Games, and was
delighted when the other countries participating in the congress agreed with him.
•The International Olympic Committee (IOC) was founded that year 1894.
•Held in Athens in 1896 at the Panatheniac Stadium, the games heralded a
welcomed return to the original beliefs and virtues of the ancient games. Probably
the biggest cheer of the 1896 Olympics was when a Greek Sheppard, Spiridon Louis,
was victorious in the most popular of all events, the marathon. The athletes from
the United States were also big winners in these games, winning 9 events.
•The Olympics have taken place every four years, since the first games in 1896.
•The Winter Olympic Games were introduced in 1924, and also took place every four
years. However, it wasn't until 1992 that it was decided that the Olympic and Winter
Olympic games would not take place in the same calendar year. The Winter Games
were moved forward two years to 1994, and would continue to take place at fouryear intervals.
•Since the first modern Olympic Games in Athens in 1896, the games have
continued to grow throughout the years and more and more nations have been
taking part, as well as more events being included.
3. The Olympic Movement
•The Olympic Movement is a philosophy created and
promoted by the International Olympic Committee. This
philosophy advocates using sport not just as a physical
activity but also as a means of educating people.
•The good sportsmanship, sense of fair play, and respect for
fellow athletes that is developed through participation in
sports teaches men and women of different
races, religions, and nationalities to work peacefully together
in competition toward common goals.
4. What do the Olympic rings mean?
•The colours of the interlinked Olympic rings were chosen by the International
Olympic Committee (IOC), to represent the union of the 5
continents, Australia, Africa , America , Asia and Europe and further signify
the meeting of the worlds athletes at the Olympic Games.
•The plain white background of the Olympic flag is symbolic of peace
throughout the games .
•The five colours of the rings from left to right are blue, black and red across the
top with yellow and green along the bottom , these colours may be found on
most flags of the world and officially hold no other particular significance
, although some believe each colour represents a particular continent.

=Europe
Yellow

10. Anthem
Immortal spirit of antiquity
Father of the true, beautiful and good,
Descend, appear, shed over us thy light
Upon this ground and under this sky
Which has first witnessed thy unperishable fame
Give life and animation to those noble games!
Throw wreaths of fadeless flowers to the victors
In the race and in the strife!
Create in our breasts, hearts of steel!
In thy light, plains, mountains and seas
Shine in a roseate hue and form a vast temple
To which all nations throng to adore thee,
Oh immortal spirit of antiquity!
11. Motto
The Olympic motto is Citius—Altius—Fortius, which is Latin for
"faster, higher, stronger." The intended meaning is that one's
focus should be on bettering one's achievements, rather
than on coming in first.
The motto has been with the Games from the
foundation of the International Olympic
Committee in 1894.
It was proposed by the father of the modern
Olympic Games, Pierre de Coubertin, who got it
from a speech given by a friend of his, Henri
Didon, a Dominican priest and principal of an
academy that used sports as part of its
educational program.
12. Release of Doves
•After the cauldron is lit, doves are released, as a
symbol of peace. This was first done in the 1896
Olympics, and then in the 1920 Olympics.
•Since 1920, this has been an official part of the
Opening Ceremony of the Summer Games.
The order—first lighting the cauldron, then
releasing the doves—is important. In the
1988 Seoul Games, they tried it the other way
around.
Unfortunately, many of the doves were in the
area of the cauldron just before it burst into
flames, leading to their unexpected demise.
13. What is the Olympic creed?
The Olympic creed was first stated in 1896
by the founder of the modern Olympic
games , Baron Pierre de Coubertin , the
words of the creed are as follows:
"The most important thing in the Olympic
Games is not to win but to take part, just as
the most important thing in life is not the
triumph but the struggle. The essential
thing is not to have conquered but to have
fought well."
14. The Victory Ceremony
At the Ancient Games, winners were presented with a simple olive tree
branch which was cut with a gold-handled knife from a wild olive tree. The
Greeks believed that the vitality of the sacred tree was transmitted to the
recipient through the branch.
At the Modern Games, Olympic medals are presented to the winning
athletes who stand on a dais at the completion of their event.
A GOLD medal is presented for first place, SILVER for second and BRONZE
for third. The host city is responsible for designing the medals within the
guidelines set by the IOC.
The national anthem of the winner is played as
each medalist’s national flag is raised.
