Outside of Our Comfort Zones: Faculty Identity and Pedagogy in the Global Cla...CIEE
Like the intrepid students who study somewhere other than their home countries, faculty should challenge themselves to step outside of their comfort zones. During this session, you'll learn how to define your identity as a global teacher and how to experiment with pedagogies that facilitate learning for a variety of students. Panelists will share highlights from a workshop they co-facilitated in the Czech Republic for teachers from across Europe who work with U.S. study abroad students. In addition, they'll lead participants in a discussion about experiences teaching abroad or instructing diverse learners on home campuses, as well as an interactive teaching exercise.

This is the presentation I was supposed to deliver at our Department's symposium in December 2011. Unfortunately, my dear partner Peter left this world that very day. I know he would have liked me to share it with as many people as possible because he's always been very supportive to my career. I owe him my passionate approach for integrating the Internet and technology into my teaching approach so, dear Peter, this is dedicated to you! May you rest in peace!

Transforming Education with 21st Century Skills and ICT Literacy:-Naomi HarmSchoolNet SA
Transforming Education with 21st Century Skills and ICT Literacy:
In the education sector, there has been a growing movement toward infusing 21st
century skills into teaching. Driven by organizations around the world, this trend is more than a passing fad, and has caught the attention of those training and equipping teachers for the digital-age classroom. 21st century skills are what today’s students and graduates need to compete, and succeed, in today’s global workforce. There are a series of concepts and themes that go beyond the conventional to teach safe and effective technology integration and application skill sets. Whether you are a professor, an administrator, an instructor, a trainer or a future teacher, you must understand 21st century skills to be effective. So are you wondering exactly what 21st Century Skills and ICT Literacy's are all about? Are you trying to determine what steps to take to begin bringing 21st Century Skills into your classroom projects infused with Information, Communication and Technology (ICT) literacy?

Developing Skills to Aid the Transition out of HE by Creating Freely Accessib...Gary Wood
Presentation delivered at the University of Sheffield's Ninth Annual Learning and Teaching Conference, held on 6 January 2015.
Co-presenters:
Graham McElearney
Richard Spencer
Abstract:
This session presents a module recently offered in the School of English. Students prepared audio-visual learning materials to teach fundamental concepts in Linguistics to A-Level students, whilst exploring advanced applications and extensions of those concepts. The digital materials will be made freely available via the University’s digital presence – YouTube, Sheffield on iTunes U etc. This project-based module provides a transition for students out of HE, by enabling them to engage in independent learning and skills development, which is also mediated through collaborative production of
materials, both within and between small groups. By becoming active producers of content that can be used by school-based learners, our students engaged in an authentic, real-world task, and through the process of distilling, producing and articulating knowledge, they have also attained the highest orders of learning. This session will outline the module, how it was conducted, and provide an opportunity to hear from students involved.

Slides from workshop delivered at the Association for National Teaching Fellows' Annual Symposium, De Montford University, 20 April 2023.
Abstract:
The New Model Institute for Technology and Engineering is a new HEI. We’re a positive disrupter, challenging norms in university-level education by using and testing innovative new approaches, particularly in learning, teaching and widening access, to address the shortfall in numbers of engineering graduates in the UK. Part of NMITE’s mission is to share good practice and learning with the sector. This workshop will provide an overview of NMITE’s pedagogical innovations, and will facilitate a discussion with peers about the enablers and barriers to innovation and ways to overcome them. The session will facilitate good practice sharing and the chance for you to seek peer support and learn from new models to address challenges within your own institution. It will thus empower you to act as a more effective change agent, driving forward your NTF/CATE innovative practice. We will conclude with an opportunity for colleagues to feed into a QAA enhancement project, which the presenters are currently leading, to explore the interaction of innovation and quality assurance in HE.

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.

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 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.
