This document discusses physical and behavioral adaptations that help animals survive. Physical adaptations include an animal's body covering, coloration, body parts like beaks and claws, and defenses like venom or quills. Behavioral adaptations are things animals do to survive, either through learned behaviors or instincts, and include hibernation to survive cold weather, migration to travel between seasons, camouflage to blend in with surroundings, and mimicry to disguise their appearance. Adaptations allow animals to respond to life needs in their environments.

Animal behaviour
innate behavior - a behavior that is pre-programmed into an organisms genes, no learning is required
learned behavior - a behavior that is not pre-programmed into an organisms genes, learning this behavior is required. However, the ability to learn requires genes.
social behavior - a behavior that includes the interaction between organisms. Can be learned or innate.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.
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.

Instructions for Submissions thorugh G- Classroom.pptxJheel Barad
This presentation provides a briefing on how to upload submissions and documents in Google Classroom. It was prepared as part of an orientation for new Sainik School in-service teacher trainees. As a training officer, my goal is to ensure that you are comfortable and proficient with this essential tool for managing assignments and fostering student engagement.
2. Objectives
• 3.4 The student will investigate and
understand that behavioral and physical
adaptations allow animals to respond to life
needs. Key concepts include:
– hibernation, migration, camouflage, mimicry,
instinct, and learned behavior.
3. What is adaptation?
• Special features that help an animal to survive
in its environment.
• Physical adaptation: Bodily structures that
help with survival.
• Behavioral adaptation: Something that an
animal does to survive.
4. Physical adaptations
• Type of body covering: fur, feathers, scales
• Color: patterns, match surroundings
• Body part: beak, antlers, ears, claws
• Defenses: venom, spray, quills
5. Camouflage
• Color or pattern of an animal that helps it to
blend in with its surroundings.
• Helps the animal to find food or hide from its
enemies.
6. Mimicry
• Looking or sounding like another animal or
object to help an animal hide.
7. Behavioral Adaptations
• Anything that an animal does in order to
survive.
• Some behaviors are learned: they must be
taught how to do it.
• Other behaviors are instinct: they are born
knowing how to do it.
8. Hibernation
• Hibernation is an instinctive behavior.
• It is a response to cold weather.
• Animals go into a sleep state to survive the
cold winter.
9. Migration
• Migration is an instinctive behavior.
• Migration is travelling from one place to
another when the seasons change.
• All types of animals migrate!
10. Time to Find a Buddy!
• Grab a partner!
• Grab a Venn Diagram
• Work together and let me know what you’ve
learned today about animal adaptations.
