We have to recognize that over the 150 year ago Horace Mann brought back from Prussia a new educational system. Throughout this history of a Prussian education system the American classrooms have seen very little change from self-contained entities from which they were created.During this time, our society has experienced technological advancements that continues the transition from the Industrial Age, to the Information Age and into the Conceptual Age. Each layer of transformation has set a new stage of thought on how to provide a modernized education for a given society. "How well do you have to understand the technology to use it in your classroom?" To answer the question, it is not about understanding how to use technology, it is about understanding how to access information, and use digital tools to create new forms of connected learning.

In recent years the brain drain phenomenon has been at the forefront of parents’ minds as their children start summer vacation. What exactly is summer brain drain?

Agile Mobile Strategies on a Shoestring BudgetAaron Grant
As more students bring multiple smart devices to campus, the need to keep up with their needs and expectations for using these devices is more important than ever. OU has gone through multiple iterations of their App to address these new exceptions including a price increase on software and licensing and support.
Those Universities with budget and staff constraints, but want to meet student expectations will benefit from this discussion. Topics will focus on strategies, lessons learned and what the future holds with Mobile.
This presentation discusses some basic concepts of learning design and how they can get used for integrating mobile devices into course concepts.
Presented as part of the CDT training at NATO School Oberammergau (Germany) on 14 May 2014.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

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.
