Conflict in Multi-Ethnic Societies: Lesson 1 of 4
In this lesson, we were introduced to the occurrence of conflict within mutli-ethnic societies in many parts of the world. We then studied the history of Sri Lanka to get some idea of the events that led up to the decades-long civil war that would ravage the country in the years to come.
The Sri Lankan Civil War was a war fought in the island of Sri Lanka. It started on 23 July 1983. There was a revolt against the government by the terrorist organization Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (also called the Tamil Tigers). They are a separatist militant organisation which fought to create an independent state for Tamil people called Tamil Eelam in the north and the east of the island.
The war lasted for 26 years. The Sri Lankan military defeated the Tamil Tigers in May 2009.

Lesson 2 of 4
In this lesson, we came to terms with the horrific consequences of the conflict in Sri Lanka. Having considered the political consequences of armed conflict and foreign intervention, we then studied how clash between the LTTE and the army led to great economic and social devastation on the beautiful island of Sri Lanka.
Every Sovereign Country like India has its foreign policy. While keeping in view the fundamental objectives of India’s foreign policy, India has adopted and pursued certain principles to realize these objectives. The principles of India’s foreign policy and its objectives are closely interlinked with each other.
Whether it’s the rich western world of Europe and America where millions of refugees have landed in hope of asylum, or the South-East Asian countries like Malaysia, and Bangladesh, where thousands of Rohingya Muslims have entered from Buddhist Myanmar, the world is witnessing a refugee crisis far intense than ever before.
Although India has decided to deport nearly 40,000 Rohingyas, who illegally entered India from Myanmar and Bangladesh borders, but on the other hand, India is home to nearly 3 lakh refugees from 30 odd countries.
Apart from refugees from neighbouring countries like Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Pakistan and Bangladesh, India also houses refugees from rich western countries like the US, UK, France, Germany and Australia.
According to the latest available data which was presented by Minister Of State for Home Affairs Kiren Rijiju in March 2016, a total of 2,89,394 refugees living in India (as on 31/12/2014) from 28 different countries which also included stateless people. This the number of refugees living in India legally and doesn’t include the numbers of Rohingyas and Bangladeshi migrants living illegally in India.

SS Chapter 2 - Governance in Singapore (Lesson 1 of 3)
In this lesson, we started out on the Social Studies (SS) syllabus by thinking about what makes a good team. We then applied those principles to the running of a country - known as governance. Finally, we looked at several examples where Singapore tries to implement these guiding principles of governance in its policy-making.

Lesson 4 of 4: Conflict in Multi-Ethnic Societies
We finally wrapped up our series of lessons on conflict in multi-ethnic society by looking at the impact of The Troubles upon Northern Ireland. After watching a number of videos about the violence that occurred during The Troubles, we then considered the political, social and economic impact that this had upon Northern Ireland.
Conflict in Multi-Ethnic Societies: Lesson 3 of 4
In this lesson, we spent some time exploring the causes of the Northern Irish conflict on our own, with the aid of our iPads. After our presentations, we looked a bit more closely at the factors that caused the Northern Irish conflict, known as The Troubles.

Ms Diyana guided us through the policy of appeasement, explaining why - and how - Britain and France gave in so easily to Hitler's demands. Instead of deterring him, this only made him bolder and resulted in the eventual outbreak of WWII.
This set of slides combines Parts 2 & 3 of the Cuban Missile Crisis (Part 1 was already sent as a video). Part 2 focuses on the escalation of tensions that led to the Cuban Missile Crisis and how it brought the world close to nuclear war. Part 3 focuses on the resolution of the conflict and how it impacted the parties involved.
We've looked at the difficulties that governments face in pleasing everyone. What does the government in Singapore do to meet some of the needs and challenges faced by society here?
This game will help you to understand the challenges that governments face when dealing with trade-offs. Governments need to deal with the differing demands of society as well as prepare themselves for unforeseen events, whilst maintaining the economic and social well-being of the nation.
In this lesson, we will go through the origins of the Cold War, going right back to the Russian Revolution all the way to the events that followed the end of WWII.
The slides are a bit bare for now, but this is the very quick summary of the important events and developments in Chapter 6. We learnt about Japan's history and how it affected its rise to global power. We saw how the crises in Japan as well as external forces led Japan into conflict with the nations around it, eventually culminating in WWII in Asia.
This is Mr Cheong's consolidated list of SBQ skills. Remember: the structure itself is not important! It is far more vital for you to understand what the question is asking for and to include the relevant info. My structures should serve as a checklist for you as you answer the SBQ questions.
These slides summarise the impact of Hitler's rule over Germany. Just like Stalin's Soviet Union, Hitler's Germany was impacted in 3 areas - political, social and economic.
This presentation will guide you through the steps needed to answer the Reliability question type in the SBQ section of your exam. I've borrowed the SURE acronym from the library campaign to help you to remember the answer structure for reliability questions.
Lesson 2 of 4: The Rise of Hitler - Hitler's Leadership Abilities
In this lesson, we looked at the 2nd set of reasons leading to Hitler's rise, namely Hitler's own personality and leadership abilities. Having studied the circumstances in Germany, we now learnt about how Hitler took advantage of the situation to rise to power in Germany.
Lesson 1 of 4: The Rise of Hitler - Circumstances in Germany
In this lesson, we studied how the circumstances in Germany contributed to Hitler's rise to power. First, we made connections between what we studied in Chapter 1 (Treaty of Versailles and the League of Nations) and the start of Chapter 3. Then, we looked at the three major issues in Germany: the weakness of the Weimar Government, the problem of hyperinflation, and the severe impact of the Great Depression.
Lessons 1, 2 and 3 on Healthcare
In this series of lessons, we began with a scenario where we had to provide free healthcare to one student with illness. We touched on some of the challenges facing healthcare systems across the world and looked at the examples of the US and the UK.
We finally moved on to the healthcare system in Singapore. We used the SAPEO acronym to recall the 4 key principles that have shaped Singapore's healthcare system, while learning about government initiatives such as Medishield, Medisave, Medifund and the different classes of wards in hospitals.
SS Chapter 2 - Governance in Singapore (Lesson 3 of 3)
In this lesson, we moved swiftly through Singapore's ageing population. We talked about what that meant for us in the future (more taxes!!!) and the 'Many Helping Hands' approach to deal with this problem.
SS Chapter 2 - Governance in Singapore (Lesson 2 of 3)
In this lesson, we tried to apply the guiding principles of governance to a real-life problem that Singapore faces: a declining birth rate. We talked about babies, money and the complete failure of Singapore to become a baby factory. Finally, we talked about Singapore's attempts to bring up its birth rate once more.
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.
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.
