The document discusses using blogs in the foreign language classroom to engage students. It provides examples of how teachers can set up blogs for students and have students comment on each other's work in the target language. Students provide positive feedback on the blog, noting that it helps them learn pronunciation, vocabulary, and gives them a sense of audience. The blog also allows students in other countries to comment on the students' work.

First, beginner ESL lessons can be tricky for “Solo” teachers when teaching them online. Mistakes happen so don’t beat yourself up about it and focus more on the student, not the material. I know you want to make a great first impression with the parents and the student. I’m a little stiff for the first few lessons so stay loose and have fun.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Helen Posted by: Michele on 09 February 2006 at 17.51 Great stuff. I am really pleased to see blogging in action. Merci Joe. Michele Posted by: fanel on 21 February 2006 at 15.14 very useful ideas thank you so much, Bravo!! Posted by: RParker on 19 February 2006 at 18.00 I try to keep fairly up to speed with ICT in MFL ... but Teacher's Pet is new to me. Thanks for that Joe. With all the discussion forums we have(mflresources, linguanet, one might think that a blog like this was overkill ... but Joe's blog posts have been well thought out and researched, as have the comments. Cheers Joe, keep up the good work. Posted by: PierreImport on 07 May 2006 at 12.02 Yes, well, what do you know, Joe, I downloaded the software Photo Story 3, and created, within 10 minutes, a cheesy show about my family's recent day out in the Lakes...complete with tinny background music and a barely audible narration....all in English... It now remains for me to do the same thing for a school 'audience' Merci pour l'inspiration!

17. Pupil comments from Two Stars and a Wish I think this is going to help us learn and it's fun learning. It's good to hear us speaking in French in partners and I think all of us should speak a little louder. It's an EXCELLENT idea !!!!!!!! Jade Hello! It's really weird listening to myself speak, but at the same time I think it's awesome! I think it's good that our teacher has put us on the internet. It feels like a bit of a priviledge! It also helps with homework. To make the blog better I think that Mr Dale should do videos, not of us but like puppet type things, while we talk. Brogan I think this a good way to learn how to speak and practice your French. I also think that it is a good way to let people show what they can do. Sophie Hello (bonjour)(salut) Mr Dale. I saw how many people are looking at the blog. It tells us on the left hand side. There are lots of people from different countries because we are doing well. Thank you for letting us use this idea. It is good to learn I think. I have learnt more this year because of the blog. Thank you very much. See you later. Sadie This is a really fun way to learn as we can listen to ourselves speak. I MIGHT download the podcasts onto my MP3 player. This would help me do homework as I can look at the sentences in our class category. J'adore, J'adore, J'adore. Hi, this was very interesting. My sister is sitting next to me saying "It's boring" but I don't think it is. I think it is great. My favourite thing about the blog is listening to all my friends speaking French. Merci Monsieur Dale and all my class well done !!! Samantha
18. Well done Sophie. I love it. Keep on talking in that voice. You can practise with granny Sue. Just keep it up from Emily in 5GB I thought it was really good and the rest of my family loved it! Bryony I liked the bit where I heard myself talk since now I know what my voice sounds like in French and English. Chloe Hello Blog Master. Well done Aiden and Oliver for your objects around the class. Blog Master, this will really help people who are not very good at their French. This will also help people who want to revise their French. This has been set up really well but could we have 4 or 5 games to have some fun? Bye for Now. Megan This site helps me learn because it helps me to learn the names of brothers and sisters. The blog sounded terrific it also helps me to remember how to say that I have one sister and not any brothers. Laura I think it is a really good idea to have a European Day of Languages. I think it inspired lots of people to try some new foods. It was also fun finding out where celebrities come from in the foyer. Elliott I liked the pictures. They were really cool and the food was very nice. It was a bit annoying queuing up because it took forever but the food was worth the wait. I can't wait for the next Nodehill language day. Max S Hello and well done 8SM. It was like well wicked. Keep the good work up. Peepz we are gonna do well this year. Annaleigh Pupil comments from Two Stars and a Wish
19. Sounds great! Really looking forward to hearing more of your podcasts! Lynne Chers élèves, Nice pronunciation of the nasal vowels, like in "tableau blanc"! Good intonation (going up at the end of each phrase and down at the end of the sentence).Try to speak each syllable a bit more quickly; in general French vowels last a shorter time than vowels in English. Très bien! Bonne continuation! (de Sarah, un prof de français aux États-Unis). Sarah What a great way to encourage the children to read and say the new vocabulary. We are currently using our blog as a learning blog with just a description of what we are doing, but I can see this being a really effective way of reinforcing vocabulary. Thanks for the idea. Pam I think this is good because it's a list of objects. Could use some adjectives, though. Level..3c, right? Steph Teacher comments from Two Stars and a Wish Hi this is Sophie. I'm in this outstanding blog
20. Hi Joe, I work with the TypePad team, and I just wanted to say thank you -- we appreciate so much that you take the time to help people find out what blogging can do. It's really inspirational to all of us to see such great work done with the tools we build! Anil Dash comment …
