Quick & Slick: Blogging Tips for BeginnersThe URL Dr.
This Quick and Slick presentation explains why every web site should have a blog and how to start one. It goes over best practices, what to write about, blogging basics, how to promote it, and copywriting tips. Written with the small business owner in mind, it's short, sweet, and to the point. References and bibliography included.
I took up blogging at the suggestion of my friend Cory Doctorow when my job responsibilities had been whittled down to five minutes of actual work per day. What started as a way to break out of boredom turned out to be a life-changer: I made many new friends, got a couple of TV appearances, landed a couple of jobs, met my wife and even dodged a bullet. In this presentation, I'll regale you with stories about how I made my life better through blogging, share what I've learned over the past seven years and give you some tips and tricks that I've found useful. And yes, there will be prizes and a rock and roll accordion performance, too!
Collaborative IQ with Denise Holt - Employee-Brand Relationship Model [INFOGR...Collaborative IQ, Inc.
Employees are vital for building and scaling brand relationships. They have the distinction of being trusted ambassadors of the brand because of their uniquely “insider” standing. Employee advocacy programs can facilitate the cultivation and delivery of the deliberate and wonderfully shareable experience you want your customers to talk about.
To wrap our heads around how to activate employees as builders of brand relationships, it’s important to understand the employee-brand relationship from the angle of the employee’s experience. Customer Experience Management (CEM) focuses on the customer’s emotional journey, where-as, Employee Experience Management (EEM) should focus on the deliverer of the brand experience. How do employees experience and translate the organization?
Illustrated in my Employee-Brand Relationship Model are the stages of the employee’s emotional journey. First there may be hesitation or fear of saying something wrong. Most likely, this stems from a lack of training or understanding of the company social media policies or lack of encouragement by the employer to be involved through social media. By creating an advocacy program and proper training for your workforce, you are empowering your employees and giving them a voice. This has the awesome bonus of giving them the feeling that they are making a difference. The company’s success is now partly in their hands, and this type of positive engagement fosters loyalty and ultimately job satisfaction.
Everyone wants to feel good about what they do. Everyone wants to feel like they matter as individuals, and everyone wants to feel like they make a difference. This is basic psychology. The fastest way to discourage and dishearten another human being is to make them feel insignificant. People desire to be seen. Employee advocacy programs even the playing field and allow the possibility of success for anyone in your company.
As an organization, your brand objectives through these stages are to provide the leadership and training that will allow you to harness the power of successfully activated employee advocates. You will need to strategize and focus on giving them great content to share, realizing that the whole organization serves as the foundation for brand position and activation.

This presentation shares the perspectives of three education faculty who incorporated Twitter into their traditional, blended, and online classes as a way to expand and extend the class “conversation” beyond the classroom. Courses involved were at both the undergraduate and graduate level in subjects ranging from science education to the community college. Our fourth presenter is a student teacher who will share her experiences with Twitter assignments as well as how she envisions using Twitter with elementary students in her future classroom.

Teachers and administrators struggle to find time to work and learn together in meaningful ways. There are plenty of meetings scheduled. Many teachers leave these meetings though with the feeling of “could have spent my time doing more important things”. How do we squeeze in one more meeting to help teachers grow as professionals? How do we add one more opportunity for teachers to learn important new skills, listen to one more educational consultant, one more expert on a new initiative? How do we give teachers the time to learn with and from their own colleagues? How can teachers learn from what is going on in the classroom next door?

Blogging is inherently a platform that encourages communication and reflection. We are taking “blogging” beyond a technology platform,and seeing it as a shift directly related to teaching and learning in modern times. It becomes a platform for learning, creating, reflecting and sharing with a global audience. The transparency of sharing one’s successes and failures openly while being a responsible digital citizen embodies risk-taking and, at the same time, opens up and invites global feedback and perspective in to develop critical thinkers.
Blogging can support the strategies, techniques and approaches to facilitate the learning in your classroom no matter what grade level, age group and subject area. Blogging supports four primary areas:
Reading
Writing
Reflecting
Sharing

The term sketchnoting describes a style of visual note-taking recently gaining popularity among conference attendees. Contrary to popular belief, you do not have to be an artist to sketchnote and to take advantage of a different type of learning and making content connections beyond conference keynotes . Sketchnoting is helping make your thinking visible and shareable as you are reading a professional book, watching a movie clip, reading an educational blog post or article or listening to a lecture of conference keynote.

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.

How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
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.

Editor's Notes
While we hope that the content of a comment is meaningful and related to the post and learning, there is yet another dimension to commenting. Students need to be aware and observe proper “commenting netiquette”. Just like any other classroom rules at the beginning of each school year, this netiquette needs to be discussed, practiced and reviewed. It is also important to let students know your expectations of proper grammar and spelling in their online writing. Do you value content above all and are willing to close an eye to spelling? Or are you willing to take less content in exchange of time spent on grammar and spelling? You need to communicate your expectations clearly to your students.

Let the author know if you agree with him/her and why. It is also ok to disagree with something, just let the author know why you feel that way. One word comments are not very useful. Writing just “cool” or “nice” are not very helpful and don’t let the author of the blog post really know what you are thinking. Always make sure you follow “netiquette”. Think if it is appropriate BEFORE you hit the submit button. Always be polite . It does not matter if you agree or disagree with what you are reading in a blog. Don’t write anything you would be ashamed of saying to someone’s face. Don’t hurt somebody’s feelings.
