Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.
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.
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.

3. Why blog?
Blogs allow users to communicate about a variety of
different subjects. In a school library or
classroom, blogs allow students to share information
about what they’re learning or reading, making them
active participants in their own learning and the
learning of others, not just in their schools but in the
larger world around them.
Students are going to communicate via
blogging, social networking, and any other way they
can find, with or without our influence. Why not use
those tools for an educational purpose? Along the
way, we may just teach them how to communicate
4. Before you start
blogging…
Consider what you want the mission of your blog to
be. Do you want to only focus on reviewing
books? Do you want your blog to be a promotional
tool for your library or classroom? Do you want it
to be used primarily as a communication tool for
parents? Think about what you want out of your
blog and who your target audience is before you
start.
Explore the different blogging programs. There are
a lot out there, and some are blocked in schools.
Make sure you don’t start a blog that people in
your school will be unable to use. (In Greenville
County, we are limited to the district blog server.)
5. When you’re ready to Enter the
Blogosphere…
Share your ideas for your blog with your administration
and teachers. If they don’t buy in and get excited about
what you’re doing, your students won’t either.
If you’re a school librarian, work with a few classroom
teachers on some blogging lessons. Teach students
about how blogs work, netiquette, how to post
comments, writing book reviews, and any other skills you
deem important.
If you’re a classroom teacher, work with your school
librarian. I promise you that he/she will be helpful in using
this Web 2.0 tool!
Look to other professionals for ideas if you get “blogger’s
block.”
When you’re teaching lessons on blogging, have at least
ten posts ready to go so that students have options when
learning how to post comments.
6. Things to consider
Make sure you keep the safety of your users in mind.
If you or your principal are uncomfortable using real
names, have your students create pen names. (They
have a lot of fun with this, too!)
It’s vital to instruct your students on the rules of
netiquette. You may have to re-teach these rules
quite often.
Post to your blog often (at least once per week)!!!! If
you neglect your blog, your users will, too!
Have fun with blogging! Let your students know that
you love what you’re doing. Your enthusiasm will be
contagious!
7. How can you promote your new
blog?
Place a link to your blog on your email signature, your
website, and on your school’s website.
Send out information on the blog in your newsletter.
Let the local media know that you’re doing something new to
promote reading (or whatever else you may be blogging
about).
Share the information with your colleagues at meetings and
conferences and through email and listservs.
Provide incentives to students and teachers who comment
on your blog. (I got permission from my principal to do this
for our summer reading program.)
Tell all of your friends on Facebook, Twitter, and even
Pinterest!
9. Highlights of my life as a

work, adapt and try something else. Remember
those all-important words—monitor and adjust.

21. Step Nine
We’ll now add a “Meta” widget to your blog.
This will allow you to log in or out directly from
your blog.
In the appearance menu, select widgets.
Drag the “Meta” widget to one of your sidebars
on the right.
