Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Â
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.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
Â
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 wasnât 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.
Francesca Gottschalk - How can education support child empowerment.pptxEduSkills OECD
Â
Francesca Gottschalk from the OECDâs 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.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Â
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.
1. Afternoon work
On the following slides are 5 activities for you to complete across the week.
Slide 2: Science Experiment
Slide 3-4: Mayan Project â What happened to the Mayas?
Slide 5-7: Mayan Project â What did the ancient Maya believe in?
Slide 8: Mayan Project â Front Cover
Slide 9: Art â Perspective Drawing
2. Science Experiment
Equipment:
⢠Plastic comb,
⢠Empty plate or dish,
⢠2 tablespoons of salt,
⢠1 teaspoon of pepper.
Instructions:
1. Place the salt into the empty plate/dish.
2. Add the pepper and gently shake so it mixes in a bit.
3. Take a clean plastic comb and run it through your hair a few times then position over the salt and pepper and see
what happens.
Hopefully, you should see the static electricity you get from running comb through your hair start to raise the pepper
as itâs lighter than the salt.
If you are stuck, click the link below (itâll be in a button under the slideshow too), youâll be able to see a YouTube
video of what the experiment should look like.

3. What happened to the Mayas?
People often think that the Mayas only existed in the past. Today there are over seven million Maya people,
most of whom live in Central America and southern Mexico.
Click on the link below and explore the page.
All text from the website is copied and pasted on to the next slide in case you have limited access.
If you are able to access the website, there is also a video to watch and a slideshow to look through.
Can you create a fact page titled: What happened to the Mayas?
4. People often think that the Mayas only
existed in the past. Today there are over
seven million Maya people, most of whom
live in Central America and southern
Mexico.
Even though the Spanish conquest resulted
in centuries of cruelty towards the Maya
people, causing their population to
decline, many Maya people still maintain
some of their traditions. In fact, there are
currently 31 different Mayan languages
being spoken today.
However, these languages are becoming
endangered because
of discrimination. Sometimes people
wonât even be offered jobs if they speak a
Mayan language! To keep these languages
alive, some people write literature in
Mayan languages as well as Spanish, so
that their culture will not die out forever.
What happened to the Mayas?

5. What did the ancient Maya believe in?
Religion was an integral part of the ancient Maya culture, intertwined with all other
aspects of society.
The Maya believed in and worshipped a number of different gods. They believed
that the gods had a good side and a bad side and that they could help or hurt them.
The Maya would dance, sing and sometimes make offerings of blood to the gods to
demonstrate their respect and loyalty.
Look at the different Maya Gods on the next slide. Your task is to create a fact file on
at least 2 of those Gods and then to create your own Maya God. For each God, you
should include a picture and some facts about them. Make sure your information is
clear and accurate and the pictures are bright and colourful.
e.g.
Create this fact file as your next page in your Maya project book â whether that be in
the back of your English book or in the separate book you made.

Here are some rituals and their purposes:
Blood letting. To nourish the
gods.
Playing a
ball game.

wearing
masks and

demons.
8. Mayan Project â Front Cover
Now that youâve learnt lots about the Ancient Maya, can you create the front page
for the project?
If you remember, we asked you to leave a blank page at the start of your Maya work
â create your front page on that page.
A big, bold title is always important and you could use a range of drawings and facts
that you have learnt.
EXTRA: once you have finished your front cover, you could create a contents page on
the back of it.
9. Art â Perspective Drawing
Earlier on during lockdown, one of your art sessions used perspective with âimposing buildingsâ.
Today, we would like you to learn some more about perspective drawing and draw some of the
houses on your street.
Follow the link below to watch Kirsten OâBrien drawing the view from her bedroom window. (Donât
worry about painting if you do not have paint at home, focus on the sketching.)
If you are not feeling the perspective
drawing today, click on the second link
below which should take you to a list of
BBC Bitesize art lesson videos and take a
pick.
