Text Study in the Digital Age #ulearn13
This document outlines a teacher's film study unit on Quentin Tarantino films with their students. It includes assignments on character analysis, technique analysis, and close reading excerpts from Reservoir Dogs. Students composed writing pieces in response and received feedback. The unit culminated in a presentation assignment where students collaborated in groups to present on common Tarantino techniques using a shared Google Slides document. The teacher found the unit improved students' exam results, articulated knowledge, and presentation skills. They encouraged letting students take more ownership of their learning through group work and presentations.

An Apology for Audio Assignments in First-Year Writing Classrooms
A pedagogy workshop facilitated by Harley Ferris & Ryan Trauman @ the University of Louisville, 11 April 2013.
In this workshop, we present an example assignment tailored specifically for First Year writing classes while discussing issues related to: the efficacy of audio assignments in first-year writing classrooms; how those assignments might be tailored to address specific course outcomes; how those assignments can be framed as highly rhetorical exercises; strategies for making the necessary resources available to students; possibilities for sharing/circulating/publishing audio assignments; and potential pitfalls for audio assignments in the writing classroom. And of course, we also spent some time at the end for Q&A.
Evaluations 030312
This document summarizes evaluations from a study day for a PGCE/Cert Ed program. Based on 53 responses, which likely represent only 25% of attendees, feedback was mixed. For Professor Ecclestone's session on disempowerment of teachers, some found it interesting but not useful, while others enjoyed the question and answer portion. Feedback on the interest groups was that discussions were useful but sometimes wandered off topic. The session on progression, CPD and QTLS was described as confusing and not focused enough. The technology-enhanced learning session was seen as rushed by some, while others found it always interesting to share resources. A few respondents thought the entire day was a waste of time.

Create a Communicative Language Classroom: Designing Listening and Speaking ...Transparent Language, Inc.
Language teachers understand that 21st century students must be able to communicate effectively with diverse people from many different cultures. In order to meet this challenge, teachers should emphasize communicative skills when instructing foreign languages. Students are required not only to understand, but also to produce language in oral and written forms. This webinar series will cover how to plan instructional activities that align with the three ACTFL modes of communication (Interpersonal, Interpretive, and Presentational), as they relate to listening, speaking, reading, and writing.
In this session, we'll discuss speaking and listening activities.Recommended

Reach Students Beyond the School Day: Teach Language Asynchronously
We live in a digital world that allows our students to access information 24/7. Why not use that to your advantage by teaching your students asynchronously?
Asynchronous learning is a student-centered teaching approach that employs a wide variety of web, mobile, and cloud-based tools outside of regular school hours, thus removing the constraints of time and place. The tools at your disposal are many: social media, mobile applications, collaborative communication, learning objects, blogs, and beyond.
In this webinar, we will explore the benefits and risks in asynchronous teaching, as well as the positive impact it can have on students’ lives. The webinar will also include details on how to integrate these tools into any language-learning curricula.

[AsiaTEFL 2016] Flipped Classroom as a Paradigm Shift for Teaching EFL in Korea
The document discusses issues with English education in Korean schools and proposes the flipped classroom model as a potential solution. It provides the following key points:
- According to surveys of Korean students, they are dissatisfied with their English classes which overly emphasize grammar and do not meet their needs for speaking practice.
- The flipped classroom model moves direct instruction outside of class time, using online lectures, videos and readings for homework. This frees up more class time for interactive activities, discussions and feedback.
- Two case studies show how the flipped classroom was implemented successfully in a college English course and subject class on technology in language learning. Students reported benefits like convenience, flexibility and increased interaction/discussion times.
My textbook is boring!
This document discusses alternatives to using solely a textbook in beginning language classrooms.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
