Francesca Gottschalk - How can education support child empowerment.pptxEduSkills OECD
Francesca Gottschalk from the OECD’s Centre for Educational Research and Innovation presents at the Ask an Expert Webinar: How can education support child empowerment?
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.

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.

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 Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

“ACME” is the name of the fictional company that appeared
in almost every Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote cartoon. This
company supplied Wile E. Coyote with a never-ending range of
ridiculous products that would inevitably fail, generally with
hilarious consequences.
Without a doubt, the company name is used ironically in the
Looney Tunes cartoons. “ACME” comes from the Greek,
meaning “peak” / “zenith” / “prime”, so in the case of the
company, essentially meaning “best”, when in fact the products
offered by the corporation in the show are invariably prone to
disaster, something which ACME even acknowledges through
its slogan – “Quality is our #1 dream”.
8. Weighing 450 tons, it is roughly the same size
as a football field, has been in existence for 15
years and taken around $150 billion to build.
Today, it holds the Guinness World Record for

Now, a 100 years on in 2002, we are stretching the rules
slightly, tongue very slightly in cheek, to say to the world,
here was a great man who selflessly pursued bad people on
behalf of the good, using science, courage and crystal clear
thought processes to achieve his goals.
The Royal Society of Chemistry was quoted as saying
while posthumously awarding X the honorary fellowship. X
with honorary fellowship . Identify X?
17. Q11.
There have been multiple theories postulated to
explain X’s distinctive facial features and a nickname
given by people especially Sam Allardyce.
These are: - X’s fiery temper –
• X suffers from Supraventicular Tachycardia and had
to undergo Cardioversion in 2003, a procedure which
involves passing a shock through the heart to restore
its natural rhythm.
• However, the actual reason is that X suffers from a
skin condition called Rosacea that causes flushing of
face, redness of eyes, burning sensation over the
affected areas etc.
• Identify X.

and has been in popular use worldwide ever
since.
An american on average uses this 2-3 times a
week while in india the frequency is 2-3 times

35. Zbtb7 is a gene that may act as a master switch
for cancer, and is responsible for the
proliferation of cancer throughout surrounding
cells. The gene is unique in that it is needed for
other oncogenes to cause cancer.
Discovery of the gene was first published in the
January 2005 issue of Nature. It was originally
called “pok erythroid myeloid ontogenic
factor” but was renamed to Zbtb7.
Why was it renamed ?

41. To celebrate its 350th anniversary in
2010,the Royal Society of London asked
British astronaut Piers Sellers to carry a
“peice of history” with him into
space.This is ironic,since the source of
this object is supposed to have led to the
discovery of something that is guarenteed
to be absent in the International Space
Station.

44. 14.Name the product
• The shape of this product is
modelled after a hyperbolic
paraboloid.
• This design characteristic is
beneficial as it helps keep the
product from breaking during
distribution by eliminating lines
of stress along which a small
crack may easily propagate.
Further, it keeps a stack of the
product tightly interlocked or
nested during distribution.
• The name of the product came
from a street in Cincinnati. The
name was chosen simply for its
sound and appeal.

• Dopamine is a hormone associated with lust, Gambling
and Addiction.
• Steve Sharman, a PhD student in psychology at the
University of Cambridge researching says “The illusion
of control is a crucial element in the maintenance of
gambling addiction … [as it] instills a feeling of skill or
control," he says. "There are a number features in X
that make people believe they are affecting the
outcome , and in some cases they are, but those
instances are rare.”
• The Sound, FX and Visuals in X make us release
dopamine in large amounts.
58. One way of refining gold is to use Borax. Gold is
melted in crucibles under a borax cover, air is
passed through the gold and forms oxides of the
impurities, and the oxides dissolve in borax to
form a slag which can be removed. By repeating
this process ,it is possible to purify gold to a very
high degree. What hindi expression does this
process give rise to?

61. Archaeologists at world-famous Taj Mahal in Agra have
found a formula, X, to save the marble monument from the
corrosive effects of industrial pollution. X is a recipe
consisting of soil, cereal, milk and lime.
The sticky brown mixture is smeared on the smut-stained
marble surfaces and washed off with warm water after 24
hours.
The archaeologists at Taj Mahal found that the substance,
known as X , drew black and yellow impurities from the
marble and left its surface gleaming white for the 1st time in
decades.
Similar “packs” are being developed to treat blackened
marble statues in Rome and Florence.
