Geography is the study of the Earth's landscapes, peoples, places, and environments. It bridges the social sciences and natural sciences. Geography uses a spatial perspective to observe, analyze, and understand anything distributed across Earth's space by mapping its location and investigating the underlying processes that led to its distribution in order to make predictions or propose solutions.
Paradigm is just a way of your interpretation that how you interpret something. And geographic paradigms have changed time by time. In previous time we think of a one continent Pangea but now we are familiar with several. It is a long debate to discuss it in a detail. There is only one thing to learn from this slide is the development of knowledge and advancement in technology have changed our perspectives and assumption about the geographical land on which we are living. Change is absolute which take you on ride from one side of picture to other side. Then you have many paradigms of one picture.
Geography is an interesting subject for all. It deals with location, space, patterns and distribution of life, landforms, resources, environment and development. Human geography is the study of human use and understanding of the whole world and the processes which have affected it. This module explains about the importance of human geography.

From Geography to Geo-Society the Need for Transaction in the Greek State Pub...ijejournal
This article undertook to describe the transformation of Geography as teaching subject through the years in Greece as well as the need of adaptation emerged from the New Era of digital evolution in everyday life. Geography is an applied science that over the centuries has shown an evolution both in terms of the objects of study and the way of studying the objects it deals with. Technological development has led its study from the statics of the classroom, the map and the globe to the study of the use of digital tools and applications. Societies have now become Geo-Information Societies gaining ground against those with mere knowledge of geography. Citizens are now required to have specific skills and qualifications. Suppose linguistic and mathematical literacy were historically requirements for membership in a community of the past. In that case, digital literacy is generally accepted as the passport to the information society, and "belonging" to a "GISociety" will require a particular set of elements of geospatial literacy.
By going through this presentation, students will be able to understand the diversity within Geography. Introductory and comprehensive details have been given about each branch of Geography.
Data analysis in geography simply concerns the methodology for collecting, analyzing, and presenting data. It frequently involves the application of statistical techniques useful in several ways ― first, these help summarize the findings of studies (example: total rainfall during a period in a state), second, these help understanding of the phenomenon under study (example: rainfall is more in the southern districts), third, these help forecast the state of variables (example: draught is likely during the next year), fourth, these help evaluate performance of certain activity (example: more rainfall means more rice production), fifth, these help decision making (example: finding out the best location for a H.S. School), sixth, they also help to establish whether relationships between the characteristics of a set of observations are genuine or not, and finally, certainly all these can show that the results of the analysis make a valuable contribution to the body of geographical knowledge.
Statistical techniques and procedures are applied in all fields of academic research; wherever data are collected and summarized or wherever any numerical information is analyzed or research is conducted, statistics are needed for sound analysis and interpretation of results. Geographers primarily use statistics in the following ways: to describe and summarize spatial data, to make generalizations concerning complex spatial patterns, to estimate the probability of outcomes for an event at a given location, to use samples of geographic data to infer characteristics for a larger set of geographic data (population), to determine if the magnitude or frequency of some phenomenon differs from one location to another, and to learn whether an actual spatial pattern matches some expected pattern.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
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.

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.

2. What is Geography ?
Geography word is derived from two GREEK words
“GEO”- means the Earth
“GRAPHE” – means Description
The first person to use the word "geography"
was ERASTHOSTHENES (276–194 BC)
Geography is the study of Earth’s landscape, peoples, places
and environments. It is, quite simply, about the world in
which we live.
Geography is unique in bridging the social sciences (human
geography) with the natural sciences (physical geography).
Human geography concerns the understanding of the
dynamics of cultures, societies and economies, and
physical geography concerns the understanding of the
dynamics of physical landscapes and the environment.
3. Philosophy of geography
Philoshopy of geography is that subfield of philosophy
which deals with epistemological, metaphysical, and
axiological issues in geography, with geographic
methodology in general, and with more broadly related
issues such as the perception and representation of space and
place.
4. Distributions
The geographic perspective is a lens one may use
to analyze virtually any topic that has a spatial
distribution, that is, anything that can be
mapped. Geography offers a unique way to
understand anything that is distributed across
space, including the ever-changing relationship
between humans and the environment, and thus
make predictions and even propose solutions to
current problems.
5. Since the Earth is a large interrelated system, humans
and the environment have an interactive relationship,
each influencing the other in complex ways. Technology
enables people to drastically alter the flow of energy and
matter through the Earth system and culturally modify
the environment. Since the industrial revolution,
therefore, these spatial impacts on the landscape have
increased rapidly, as have population growth and
environmental problems.
First, geographers observe spatial distributions in order
to map them. Anything that exists in Earth space can be
mapped. The geographer assesses spatial distributions
by asking –
“Who or what is being observed?” “When is it being
observed?” “Where is it located?”
Once one knows how something is distributed over
Earth space, he or she can try to understand why it is
distributed that way.
6. Geography is a broadly applicable,
interdisciplinary perspective that allows for the
observation and analysis of anything that is
distributed across Earth space.
First, geographers document spatial
distributions, asking who or what is being
observed, when is it being observed, and where is
it located? This is the “knowing” level of
thinking.
Next, geographers investigate the underlying
spatial processes that are responsible for the
observed spatial distribution by asking “How did
the spatial distribution come to be? Why is it the
way it is?” This is the “understanding” level of
thinking.
7. Finally, if geographers can understand why the
observations exist, they can make spatial
predictions and decisions to either maintain the
distribution or change it by asking “How can… or
What if…?” This is the “applying level” of
thinking.
This perspective is unique in that it is not
limited to a particular subject matter. Rather,
geography uses an interdisciplinary and generic
spatial perspective that may be broadly applied
to anything distributed across Earth space.
8. Key Terms
Absolute location – defined by precise points on a
geographic grid using coordinates such as latitude and
longitude.
Ecological perspective – the view one has when he or she
explores the relationships between the physical and
human environments.
Geographic perspective – the perspective used by
geographers when they use all available data and tools to
first assess spatial distributions, then investigate the
underlying spatial processesresponsible for the
observable spatial distributions, and finallymake spatial
predictions and decisions about how best to preserve or
change the distributions
9. Geography – an interdisciplinary perspective that
provides a broadly applicable method of observing
and analyzing anything that is distributed across
Earth space so that predictions and decisions can be
made about how best to understand or impact
spatial distributions and processes; in Greek the
word “geography” literally means “to describe
Earth;” in describing Earth, geography bridges the
social and physical sciences
Region – a human construct that attempts to
generalize complex physical and cultural spatial
distributions so that they can be understood
10. Spatial distribution – the distribution in Earth space
of anything that exists and can be observed and
mapped; not random but due to spatial processes
• Can be natural/physical, such as precipitation,
temperature, or soil
• Can be cultural, such as language, religion, or
gender equality
• Can also be the result of humans interacting with
the environment, for example, soil erosion,
deforestation, or habitat loss due to urban sprawl
