Video communication tools for educators Paul Richards
Being able to communicate effectively with your students using video communication tools is essential for modern education. Video communications can strengthen the connection between teachers, students, and parents to foster supportive learning environments.. When you use software such as Zoom, Big Blue Button, or Google Meet, you are leveraging video communication tools to extend the boundaries of your teaching. Simple class discussions can happen via online meetings which can transform into interactive activities and learning sessions leveraging two-way communication tools.

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.
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
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.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

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.
2. About this
presentation
I was trawling the net the other day, looking for stuff
to contribute to our ICT PD Cluster Social Network
site, and I cam across a few guys talking about ‘ideas’
for ICT across the curriculum. Andrew Field had set up
a forum where educators were sharing their ideas to add
to a ‘basket’ of ideas called ‘Effective ICT In The
Classroom, 60 ICT ideas in 60 minutes.”
The results were fantastic, and I thought it would be
cool to turn them into a video that would make it
easier to share the ideas... here’s my contribution to
60 ideas in 60 minutes.
3. Set up a Blog
a place to offer additional support,
ideas and links to help students'
learning.
4. Get students to
video their class
presentation
really effective use of ICT where
students are in control, scripting
and preparing a presentation to go
online.
5. Create a webquest
task for an ICT-
based homework
force students to research and
prepare materials by following a
webquest. A series of links and tasks
to answer which guide students
through a topic.

massive Word
document and a
strict word limit -
provide students with
a 40 page document
full of information
and ask them to
precis the text to
200 words
7. Give students a
terrible PowerPoint
presentation
provide students with an awful
PowerPoint presentation about a
particular topic. Make it look awful,
include incorrect and worthless
information, put everything in the
wrong order. Ask them to mark it and
then fix it.
8. Graffiti a source
project an image onto a whiteboard.
Get students to draw all over it with
their analysis and ideas.
9. MP3 your work
only accept the next piece of work in
MP3 format. Show students Audacity +
a microphone and get them to record
their next piece of work / revision
10. Project a video but
remove the sound
play a film trailer without any
sound, get students to add their own
music and effects to fit.
11. Create a PowerPoint
backgroundCreate a PowerPoint for students to
perform in front of - adding timing,
graphics to make an active
presentation more impressive.
12. Create an
interactive quiz or
game
Using quality software
such as Hot Potatoes or
ContentGenerator.net to
create an engaging
starter / plenary
activity.
14. Setup a class
podcast
Divide students into groups and make
each responsible for part of a topic.
Each group has to prepare a podcast.
All the podcasts are then combined
and put online as one class podcast
for all to use.
15. Save whiteboard
notes
Use a whiteboard for a class mind-
mapping session to start a topic.
Save the whiteboard file. At the end
of the topic, repeat the exercise,
but then load their initial work to
compare and contrast.
16. Sound effects
Introduce sound effects via your
laptop. A good answer? Cue a round of
applause. A silly idea? Cue some
booing. Make student in charge of
playing the effects.
17. Student voice
Put together an online evaluation
form - students can complete this to
share their thoughts and feedback
about the lesson / topic.
18. Project a worksheet
Don't photocopy a task-sheet -
project it onto the wall so everyone
can see it and save on the photocopy
budget.
19. Use a massive
digital timer
Project a massive clock onto the
board so nobody can be in any doubt
how long a task is meant to take.
20. Use PowerPoint
timings
Setup tasks using timed PowerPoint
slides. Details for the first task
appears. Once the time is up,
automatically move the screen on. The
teacher can just leave this running,
allowing them to focus on the
students.
22. Get to students to
present their work
in moviemaker
or iMovie... or Final Cut Pro
23. Get students to create
animations to show processes
(e.g. science / geography) in
action
could be using flash
or putting together
individual video shots
making small changes
each time (in a
Wallace and Grommit
style!
24. Use sound effects to
introduce a topic
(students could have to guess what
the topic is) or to provide the
ambience in the classroom - e.g.
tropical rainforest sounds; lava
bubbling; an earthquake etc.
25. Set up a Department Website to
share resources between staff
and provide online support for
students
get students to contribute and take
responsibility for sections of the
website; use the website to help
celebrate student achievement by
adding examples of good work - poems,
art work etc..
26. Use whiteboard to
teach field-
sketching
project picture in
notebook - select and
draw round the main
'defining lines' of
the features shown -
remove picture from
the background and
annotate the key
features
27. Use skype or similar
to make a virtual
language lab
or make use of MSN or similar (such
as live chat in digital brain) for
practicing conversing in MFL
29. "Making the News"
encourage students to create news
articles / videos to be broadcast /
published on line through the Making
the News free online publishing
system
31. Create
flyovers in
Google Earth
help students develop a sense of
place / take them on virtual journeys
around the world - geotag points with
photographs etc.
33. Use digital video
played through the
IWB...
...to pause and annotate video clips
and to take still images of the
annotations / picture - to build up
story board of main points from video
for feedback at the end
34. Use photoshop or similar
graphic package to alter /
clone photographs to predict
change in a landscapee.g. the effects of coastal erosion
or sea level rise. - by creating a
series of 'altered' photographs at
different stages and then inserting
them in moviemaker - a basic
animation can be created of landform
development. Students could also be
given photographs and asked to alter
them according to what they think
will happen - as well as adding text
annotations to describe and explain
the processes taking place (sorry
35. Timer
Use the ANT4 Pizza timer to put 20
minutes on the board to show how easy
it was to do and how useful it was
for pupils in managing their
learning.
36. Create a Word-search
/Crossword/Cloze
test
Hot Potatoes to show how to create a quiz using that
for those that are planning on integrating materials
onto the school VLE and also show the tools at
http://school.discovery.com/teachingtools/teachingtools
.html which I think actually create better versions if
you're going to print them off on paper.
37. Projecting an image
using Powerpoint
Using the scanners, import
a picture into Powerpoint
resize it to full screen,
then using google images
to find, download and
import another.
38. Use the pen tool in
Powerpoint
We don't have IWB's at our school,
but if you right click during an
Powerpoint Slide Show, you can select
a pen tool to annotate whatever is on
the slide. It won't save your
scribblings, but it can still be
quite a useful tool
39. Interactivity
without an IWB
Get people to interact with what's
being projected by using a wireless
mouse and/or or bluetooth tablet
40. Improve an existing
essay
Put a word-processed piece of work on
the school network and get pupils to
download and improve it. This could
then be commented on by another class
member using another colour text
41. Setting up a
learning blog
Using free blogging software (such as
livejournal - which I prefer as it
doesn't have the 'next blog' link at
the top) to create a class blog to
encourage pupil discussion and
involvement
42. Adding a picture
into a worksheet
Yes, I know to us it might be basic, but I
wanted something that those staff who are
just getting comfortable doing their own
typing could use to jazz up their work
sheets. This would cover cropping, changing
brightness and contrast and controlling
layout
43. Adding music
Using itunes to create playlists
of various types of music -
calming, concentrating, urgent,
time keeping etc
46. Hamburger ICT
template
picture of a hamburger split into
its component parts - student
literally uses the images as
background to help them identify
all the component parts of the
essay.
48. Getting students to
use their mobile
phone
with all the new features
on phones there are so
many possibilities.
Recording voices, sharing
ideas via bluetooth,
texting answers etc.
49. MP3 treasure hunt
Provide clues to help students
find resources / information etc.
that is provided on mp3 players
as audio. Hide these players
around the classroom / area.
50. Use a large digital
die
Project a large die / dice onto
the board. Use these to
supplement an existing activity
52. Immense copies of
work
Get students to use Rasterbator
to create a wall-sized version of
their work - simple and easy
mega-poster maker that uses an
original image (i.e. digital
photo of their work etc.)
53. Using a drag and
drop macro in
Powerpoint
to make powerpoint a more
interactive teaching / learning
tool
57. Set up an online
photograph gallery /
library for students
to contribute to
- to build up a collection of
copyright free images - e..g. of
geographical landforms, different
places, cultures etc.
58. Use a wireless mouse
hooked up to the laptop &
projector, this is a great way to
give students control of the
lesson - they have to get
involved.
59. Setup a teacher
e-mail account to
share with
students
as long as you are following the
correct guidelines, this is a
great way of allowing students to
e-mail their work to you.
60. Use Excel to
create a
drag and
drop
- using coloured textboxes in
Excel you can easily create a
drag-and-drop exercise that can
be extended further with just a
little thought.
61. Use Excel for
'weighting'
exercises
- give students a collection of causes
or important aspects for a topic. Ask
them to add a number from 1 - 10 under
each one to identify how significant it
was. Then highlight everything and press
the graph button and you have instant
graphical analysis!
62. Use your own Publisher
templates - provide
students scaffolding in
Publisher
- but take advantage of the ability to drag items
actually off the paper. Surround the outside of the
paper with too many ideas, images and headlines.
Students than have to select their own choice to
drag into the Publisher document. Add in an
evaluation task i.e. why did you select the image
etc. to take the whole activity to the next level.
63. Deciding not to use ICT
In the push for ICT-based lessons the learning
opportunities can sometimes get left behind. If you
evaluate a lesson and identify no added value by
using ICT, taking the proactive step not to use ICT
is the best thing to do!
64. Wireless keyboard
pass a wireless keyboard round the class
for a fairly sedate brainstorm/mindmap
(even better if you use mindmapping
software)
65. Theme tunes
use music through speakers to motivate
students (in collaboration with
countdown timers this can be especially
powerful)
66. Storyboarding
get students to storyboard a non-written
assessment using Powerpoint or similar
and then film it in short sections using
the video function of a digital camera
67. Teach old hardware
new tricks
find old computers, whack Linux on them
and use them in the classroom!
68. Homework Checker
show students that you're keeping tabs
on their
homework/attendance/effort/whatever with
conditional formatting in Excel
69. Web cam
use a web cam to enable subject
specialist to be hot-seated by different
classes at the same time, or use the web
cam as part of a role play activity in
which the individual comes through on
the screen with an eyewitness account of
a key event from history as if they have
just witnessed it
70. Magic answers
when taking feedback from students on a
particular task in which you reveal the answers
if they are correct or not, first type in the
answer on a Word document, then colour them
white. When students give you their answer,
highlight the apparently blank section of the
sheet where you have typed the answer in white,
and change the font colour back to black. It's
magic!
71. Email an expert
ask students to prepare questions on a given
subject, possibly coursework, and as a class
choose the best 5 to go forward to an expert in
the field, possibly at a museum or educational
establishment. I did this on Vietnam, using war
veterans listed on John Simkin's Spartacus
website and the responses were fascinating
72. You say we (don't)
pay
fun variation of Richard and Judy's
game. Project images of famous figures
or keywords from the topic under study
behind a student or group of students
sitting at the front. The class describe
the image or keyword and the student at
the front must guess what is on the
screen.
73. Introduce RPG Maker
Use RPG Maker (free) to allow students
to create their own games based on
historic events
74. Highlighting text
simple activities like this in Word enable some
challenging, higher order thinking. Give students a
text / source and ask them to highlight in a given
colour all the evidence which suggest a certain
theme, for example are the evidence in the text that
the other is a supporter of a particular view in
green and a critic in red. Also good for getting
students to identify opinion or fact by highlighting
these in different colours
