Wikipedia presentation
Wikipedia is a free online encyclopedia created through collaborative contributions. It began in 2001 and has grown rapidly, becoming the largest general reference work on the internet. Wikipedia is owned by the nonprofit Wikimedia Foundation and follows five main pillars - it is an encyclopedia, written from a neutral point of view, uses free content, treats editors with respect, and has no firm values. Anyone can edit Wikipedia articles, though new articles on some language editions require registration, and obvious vandalism is usually quickly removed.

Building Bridges Not Walls - Wikipedia's new Content Translation tool
Slides from today's presentation at the Open Educational Resources Conference 2017 held at Resource for London on 5-6 April 2017.
Wikimedia’s mission is to be ‘the sum of all human knowledge’. That Wikipedia has amassed over 40 million articles in over 290 languages in its short existence is quite incredible and a testament to the dedication of its community of volunteers. Yet the distribution of articles in these different language Wikipedias is nowhere near evenly spread.
Wikipedia’s new Content Translation tool offers an impactful means of sharing open knowledge globally between languages as it brings up an article on one side of the screen in one language and helps translate it, paragraph by paragraph, to create the article in a different language taking all the formatting across to the new article so a native speaker just has to check to make sure the translation is as good as it can be.
This presentation outlines the successful models already employed in a Higher Education context where one editor was able to translate five articles on notable Women in STEM onto Portuguese Wikipedia in one afternoon and where thirty Translation Studies MSc students were able to complete the translation of Wikipedia articles of 4000 words into different language Wikipedias. In this way, sharing open knowledge between languages and improving areas of under-representation.

Invention by nikola
A cranky guest complained about a chef's fried potatoes, calling them too thick and soggy. The chef sliced the next batch paper thin and over-salted them as a trick, but the guest loved them. This new snack of ultra-thin, crispy fried potatoes became known as "Saratoga Chips" and grew into a popular regional and eventually mass-produced snack food sold around the world under various brand names and flavors.
Unusual invention by andrea
Miz Mooz, a shoe company founded in 2001, has designed "selfie shoes" that allow the wearer to take photos of themselves hands-free. The shoes have a slot in the toe area to hold a phone, and a button on the shoe can be pressed with the thumb to trigger the camera. While some thought the selfie shoes were an April Fool's joke when first advertised in 2015, they are actually available for $200. The company's goal is to make the shoes water resistant and expand the selfie shoe line.
Tennis by mia
Tennis is a sport played between two players or teams using rackets to hit a ball over a net on a court. It originated in England in the 19th century and has spread worldwide. There are three main court surfaces: grass, clay, and hard courts, which affect ball bounce and speed. The best current tennis player according to many is Novak Djokovic, who has held the number one ranking for over 100 weeks total and won 51 tournament titles.
Unusual inventions by ljubica
Isaac Newton invented a door with a square cutout so that his cat could enter and exit his laboratory without needing him to get up each time. He created this while studying the properties of light. Another unusual invention was the hula hoop, originally made of bamboo in Australia but redesigned by Vam-o using plastic, selling hundreds of millions of units over two years. The document discusses some lesser known inventions by famous inventors that were still helpful innovations.
Invention by tamara
Volleyball was invented in 1895 by William Morgan and the first match was played the following year. It was originally played with more players but over time the number of players was reduced to six per team. While basketball was originally used, a lighter, softer ball was developed for volleyball that is still used today. Team unity and cooperation are essential for achieving victory in volleyball.
Invention by teodora
William Morgan created volleyball in 1895 as a less strenuous alternative to basketball for older generations. He used a tennis net and soccer ball to develop the game. In 1896, Morgan demonstrated this new "Minton" sport called volleyball at a conference, where the name volleyball was adopted from the strike used in play. The rules were updated to include playing a single 21-point set, raising the net slightly, and expanding the field of play. Over the years, volleyball attracted growing numbers of young people internationally and the rules continued to be refined, including standardizing teams of six players and allowing each team three touches before returning the ball.

Defnite article with geographical names by lipovac tatjana
The document discusses rules for using definite articles like "the" with geographical names. It states that definite articles are usually not used with continent names, areas, or country names, except in a few cases like "The Netherlands" or "The Sudan". Definite articles are used with geographic features like bodies of water, mountain ranges, and island groups, but not with individual mountains, lakes, or islands. The document provides examples and an exercise to practice the rules.
Definite and indefinite articles by lipovac tatjana
The document discusses definite and indefinite articles in English. It provides examples of when to use "a/an", "the", and no article. It explains that "a/an" is used with singular countable nouns to refer to something for the first time or as a non-specific example. "The" is used to refer to something already mentioned or known to both the speaker and listener. No article is used with plural nouns, uncountable nouns, names of languages, countries, towns and streets.
Past simple and continuous with exercises
The document discusses the use of the past continuous tense to describe situations and events that were ongoing or in progress at a specific time in the past. It provides examples of using the past continuous to talk about simultaneous past actions, temporary versus permanent situations, and repeated events in contrast to single completed events. The document also discusses using the past simple instead of continuous for state verbs, permanent situations, and repeated actions.
