The document discusses how information and communication technologies (ICT) can help achieve the United Nations Millennium Development Goals by increasing efficiency, transparency, competitiveness, and empowering citizens. ICT can help gather, store, and analyze information more accurately to support the goals. While developing countries have lagged in internet connectivity due to historical factors, ICT presents opportunities if implemented effectively as part of a solution. Computer-assisted language learning also allows students to access authentic materials online and publish their own work.
Technology is such an integral part of our lives these days that it is not only much of the time taken for granted, but often it seems we can't even keep up with the latest advances and developments.
A single breakthrough in some area of technology may have an impact on our lives in a totally different dimension. How has technology influenced our life (incl teaching languages)?
The aim of this presentation is to deal with some aspects of technology and try to find an answer to the question: is technology more our friend than a foe?

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.
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.

How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George
It is possible to hide or invisible some fields in odoo. Commonly using “invisible” attribute in the field definition to invisible the fields. This slide will show how to make a field invisible in odoo 17.
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.

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. INFORMATIO AND COMMUNICATIONS
TECHNOLOGY (ICT)
Many developing countries have accepted ICT as a national mission.
ICT can work to meet the eight goals identified with the18 targets set by
the MDGs ICT can help achieve the MDGs by: increasing efficiency,
transparency, and competitiveness; oppening up new opportunities
and business models; and empowering citizens.
Value towards the MDGs is in gathering, storing, and analyzing
information with greater accuracy and granularity.

4. ICT IN DEVELOPING COUNTIRES:
The history of the internet is part of the reason for the skew in
connectivity between developed and developing countries.
A consequence of this is the dominating use of English language in
the internet. ICT can generate, it is business, case can also be
sound. “ICT is not the solution to any of them”, “ICT is a piece of the
solution to all of them.
5. COMPUTER ASSISTED LANGUAGE LEARNING:
This article provides brief overview of how computers have been
used and are being used for language teaching. It focuses not on a
technical description of hardware and software, but rather on the
pedagogical questions that teachers have considered in using
computers in the classroom.
6. ABSTRACT
Until quite recently, computer-assisted language learning (CALL) was
a topic of relevance mostly to those with a special interest in that
area. Recently, though, computers have become so widespread in
schools and homes and their uses have expanded so dramatically
that the majority of language teachers must now begin to think about
the implications of computers for language learning
7. Computer Mediated Communication allows users to share not only
brief messages, but also lengthy (formatted or unformatted)
documents - thus facilitating collaborative writing - and also graphics,
sounds, and video. Using the World Wide Web (WWW), students can
search through millions of files around the world within minutes to
locate and access authentic materials (e.g. newspaper and magazine
articles, radio broadcasts, short videos, movie reviews, book
excerpts) exactly tailored to their own personal interests. They can
also use the Web to publish their texts or multimedia materials to
share with partner classes or with the general public.
8. BEHAVIORISTIC CALL:
IT was based on the then-dominant behaviorist theories of learning.
Programs of this phase entailed repetitive language drills and can be
referred to as "drill and practice.
• Repeated exposure to the same material is beneficial or even
essential to learning
• A computer is ideal for carrying out repeated drills, since the machine
does not get bored with presenting the same material and since it can
provide immediate non-judgmental feedback.
• A computer can present such material on an individualized basis,
allowing students to proceed at their own pace and freeing up class
time for other activities.
9. STEPS TOWARD INTEGRATIVE CALL: THE INTERNET
Computer Mediated Communication allows users to share not only brief
messages, but also lengthy (formatted or unformatted) documents - thus
facilitating collaborative writing - and also graphics, sounds, and video. Using the
World Wide Web (WWW), students can search through millions of files around
the world within minutes to locate and access authentic materials (e.g.
newspaper and magazine articles, radio broadcasts, short videos, movie
reviews, book excerpts) exactly tailored to their own personal interests. They
can also use the Web to publish their texts or multimedia materials to share with
partner classes or with the general public.
It is not hard to see how computer-mediated communication and the Internet can
facilitate an integrative approach to using technology. The following example
illustrates well how the Internet can be used to help create an environment
where authentic and creative communication is integrated into all aspects of the
course.
