The document provides information about various parts of the brain and their importance for reading comprehension. It discusses how the occipital, parietal and temporal lobes are involved in vision and memory, which are essential for understanding written language. Other areas like the cerebellum, hippocampus and neocortex contribute to coordination, short-term memory storage and higher-level thinking, respectively, all of which facilitate the reading process. The document emphasizes that while different regions have distinct roles, the brain works integrally to allow humans to develop literacy skills.

Infancy: Physical Development
Chapter 4 and 5
Infant development progresses rapidly. Infants usually come into this world equipped to begin the journey of life!

Principles of Development
Cephalocaudal
Proximodistal
Cephalocaudal – refers to development as progressing from head to toe. Consider muscle development babies begin by being able to lift their head and then it progresses to ultimate control of muscles which would be walking.
Proximodistal refers to center out. Again consider the last area one gains control is the fingers.

Skeletal Growth
Skeletal Age
Epiphyses
Fontanels
The best estimate of a child’s physical maturity is skeletal age, which is a measure of development of the bones of the body.
Epiphyses are growth centers, that appear at the ends of the long end of the bones of the body. Cartilage cells continue to be produces at the growth plates of these epiphyses, which increase in number throughout childhood and then as growth continues, get thinner and disappear.
Skull growth is especially rapid between birth and 2 years of age due to large increases in brain size. At birth the bones of the skull are separated by gaps called fontanels. These gaps help during the birth process and also allow for brain development. There are 6 of these – the largest is the anterior gap. It will gradually shrink and fill in during the second year. The other fontanels are smaller and close more quickly. As the skull bones come in contact with one another, they form sutures or seams, these permit the skull to expand easily as the brain grows. The sutures will disappear when skull growth is complete, during the teen years.

Brain Development
Synaptic Pruning
Myelination
Cerebral Cortex
Prefrontal cortex
Hemispheres
Lateralization
Brain plasticity
At birth the brain is nearer to its adult size than any other physical structure.
Human brain has 100 to 200 billion neurons or nerve cells that store and transmit information. Between nuerons are tiny gaps or synapses, where fibers from different neurons come close together but do not touch. Neurons send messages to one another by releasing chemicals call neurotransmitters which cross the synapse. During infancy and toddlerhood, neural fibers and synapses increase dramatically. Because developing neurons require space for connective structures, as synapses form surrounding neurons will die. As neurons form connections, stimulation becomes vital for their survival. Neurons that are stimulated by input from the surrounding environment continue to establish new synapses, forming increasingly elaborate systems of communication that support more complex abilities. Neurons that are seldom stimulated soon lose their synapses, through synaptic pruning, which returns neurons not needed at the moment to an uncommitted state so they can support future development.
About half of the brain is made up of glial cells which are responsible for myelination, the coating of.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.

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.

Palestine last event orientationfvgnh .pptxRaedMohamed3
An EFL lesson about the current events in Palestine. It is intended to be for intermediate students who wish to increase their listening skills through a short lesson in power point.
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.
4. What are the lobes associated with? This lobe is critical to reading because it allows you to imagine what the story is about. This is a huge part of reading and of comprehension. This is essential to those who are blind. They read with their sense of touch. Corpus Callosum- Consists primarily of fibers that connect both hemispheres together. This allows the two hemispheres to communicate. This is essential to reading. Vision is huge in reading the words as well as helping the students to visualize the story. This lobe is crucial to reading because it coincides with your memory as well as the language. Memory is essential in listening to and understanding stories. You need to remember what has happened in the story in order to understand the story itself.
5. Pineal gland- This has to do with sleeping. When signaled by the Hypothalamus it will secrete Melatonin. Sleep is essential to learning. You have to be real rested in order to learn. Thalamus- This has to do with touch. This is essential for those who are blind. Blind people read by touch. Hypothalamus- It regulates body temperature, hunger, thirst, blood pressure, sleeping, waking and urination. These are the basics and are needed for life. This can be affected by reading as well. Hunger and thirst can change when you read about food or water. RAS- It has many important roles such as sleep and waking, behavioral motivation, breathing, and the beating of the heart. Having motivation is essential to learning any material. You have to want to learn it. Also it is extremely hard to learn when you are sleep deprived or do not have the fundamental basics to focus or concentrate. Pituitary gland- secretes growth hormone and controls the action of other glands. This is essential because as we grow and mature, so does our learning and knowledge. Hippocampus- Integrates sensory information and coincides with your short term memory. This is essential to reading. You must know what just happened in the story in order to continue to comprehend the story. Amygdala- It integrates the senses and links emotions with sensory inputs. When reading this helps you to feel emotions such as sadness, happiness and fear.
6. Cerebellum- It controls posture, balance and coordination. It also has to do with storing some types of memory. This is extremely important to the development of a person as well as with language. Reading takes a lot of coordination as does language. It takes time to be able to read and speak while doing other things as well. Memory is crucial to reading. It is essential to know what you have read in order to comprehend the story as well as to understand the rest of the book.
7. Motor Cortex- the region of the cerebral cortex influencing movements of the face, neck and trunk, and arm and leg. This has to do with the movement of the eyes. This is essential to reading. It would be extremely difficult to be exposed to language as well as read it if we didn’t have voluntary movement of the eyes. Somatosensory Cortex- This is where the sensory signals are sent. These include vision hearing, taste, smell and the equilibrium. Vision and hearing are critical to the development of language. You need to be able to hear it or you will never know how to make those sounds yourself. Vision is really important also. It is important to be able to read the words as well. However, many deaf and blind people are able to read and understand the language. Neocortex- This is responsible for higher level thinking. This is in regards to language, memory and complex thoughts. This is a huge part of reading. It is important to be able to connect thoughts as well as infer things that happen. This requires higher level thinking.
8. Summary After looking at all of the different parts of the brain, I was amazed to see how many parts had to do with language development and literacy skills. All parts play an important role. For example The Occipital lobe, Parietal lobe, Cerebellum, and Limbic System have to do with the fundamentals. These are about posture, coordination, seeing, hearing, touch, sleep, heart rate, hunger, thirst, and more. These as basics as they sound are essential to learning and language. Sight and hearing are fundamentals of learning the language. However, some people without one of these are able to learn the language. Then there are the Frontal Lobe, Limbic System, and Neocortex. These all have to do with the memory. This plays a huge role. It is essential to know and understand what you are reading or hearing. You must be able to remember those words and meanings. It is also essential to reading a story. It is critical that you remember what has happened in the story as well as the characters in order to understand the story. All the parts of the brain come together in order to help us survive and learn. It is amazing how it all works and how important all of the parts are.
