Deadly Bloggers: Indigenous narratives enduring through digital participation
Abstract: In 2012, Deadly Bloggers was created as a blog list, within a few months it became it’s own Twitter account, and twelve months later became its own website. Deadly Bloggers is the first directory of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander blogs. It supports and encourages people to blog and to have their ideas and culture recorded and shared within families, communities, as well as nationally and globally. It is also a tool for sharing educational knowledge to a broader audience. This workshop will provide an overview of Deadly Bloggers, and then will provide guidance to those new to social media about how to start their own blogs.

It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte.

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.

6. Illegal immigration etc
20. • There are plenty of illegal immigrants in australia and
each day many are sent home. illegal immigrants tend
to have a non valid visa. some people who come here
dont have a visa at all. Illegal immigrants come from
all over the world. what happens to all of the illegal
immigrants once they have been found out is they get
relocated back to the country they came from.
21. Melissa // Oct 18th 2008 at 2:30 pm
• That is what happens here in the United States as well.
Visas are really a big part of it because visas take a long
time to get, and then people just come illegally. Where
are the illegal immigrants that come to Australia from?
Juliet Pham // Oct 18th 2008 at 5:21 pm
• How do you feel about the fact that the illegal immigrants
are relocated? Do you believe that it’s fair? I don’t think
that it is. I really think that it would depend on the reason.
Are the immigrants doing any harm really? That’s pretty
interesting that Australia does have illegal immigrants
because I never thought a place like Australia would
because of the fact that it doesn’t have any countries near
it or any land bridges.

26. Josh’s post -linkup with a teacher in Boston
Today we linked up with a teacher in Boston. Some things i learnt while
talking to her today were
• She teaches computing
• She lives in Boston
• They have 19 computers in the classroom
27. Response from Lorraine Leo in Boston
• Hi Josh,
Thanks very much for the post about my presentation to your class. I really
enjoyed meeting with all of you and appreciated your comments in the text chat.
I have never been to Australia so it is always exciting to have the chance to visiti
there virtually and to speak with young people there.
I enjoyed learning about Hawkesdale too. It is interesting that both of our schools
have under 400 students. I learned that students in your school like days when
they can dress out of uniform just like the students here. I was amazed at some of
the wildlife that you have around you. I’ve only seen kangaroos in a zoo and I’ve
never seen a koala–ever!!
The other fascinating thing about Australia is that even though we are thousands
of miles away, we speak the same language (with different accents). I like the
Australian accent.
I was reading through some of the posts on your blog and was interested in
learning about these little cartoons that you are creating. I haven’t seen that
website so right after I write to you, I’m going to check it out.
Thanks again for sharing. I hope that as I end my day here, you have a terrific start
to yours’.
