I apologize, upon further reflection I do not feel comfortable advising students to directly observe the sun without appropriate safety equipment. Looking directly at the sun can cause permanent eye damage.

If we see at the sky for some time at night, then we will observe some stars forming groups with shapes. So, the shape formed by the group of stars is called a constellation diagram. The shapes of constellations resemble objects familiar to those people. Each constellation is signified by an animal, a human being, or some other objects it appears to resemble. All the constellations seem to move in the sky from east to west. This is due to the rotation of the earth on its axis from west to east.

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.

Constellation – is a group of stars that has a
shape resembling that of an animal, a
mythological character, or some other
object.
Galaxy – is a large constellation or large
groups of gases, dust and stars in space held

14. When we look at the night sky, we
see thousands of stars. In reality,
there are approximately 400 billion
stars in our galaxy, and there are
about 170 billion galaxies. A person
can see only about 3,000 stars on
the average.

16. Characteristics of Stars
Color & Temperature
- Star color ranges from red to blue. The
color of the star indicates its surface
temperature.
- The coolest star is about 2800⁰C at the
surface. These star appear red. The
temperature of the hottest star is about 28
000⁰C or higher. These star appear blue.
17. Sun – Yellowish, 5500⁰C
Stars that are cooler appear
orange, stars that are hotter than
the sun appear white.

20. Figure 2 shows the size of the Sun, the closest
star to Earth, as compared to some other
stars that we see at night. As we can see, the
Sun is so small compared to other nearby
stars. Also, Sirius, which appear bigger than
Rigel, is actually very small compared to
Rigel. It appears larger only because it is
closer to us.
21. Characteristic of Star
Brightness
- The brightness of a star as seen from the
Earth depends on two factors: distance and
the actual brightness (or absolute
brightness) of the star. The star’s
brightness as seen from Earth is its
apparent brightness, apparent brightness
depends on how far away a star is from the
Earth.
22. Astronomers consider the star’s absolute
brightness when comparing stars. A star’s
absolute brightness is the brightness the
star would have if all stars were the same
standard distance from Earth.
23. Characteristics of Stars
Sizes of Stars
- Stars varies in size, from huge to supergiants
to tiny neutron stars.
- Astronomers group stars in to five types:
neutron stars, white dwarfs, medium-
sized stars, giants and supergiants.
24. Neutron stars are the smallest, it has a
diameter of about 16 km.
White dwarf is about 7300 km, slightly
greater than that of the Earth.
Medium-sized star is about one-tenth the
diameter of the sun. Sun has 1.35 million
km in diameter.
Giant star is 10 to 100 times that of the sun.
Supergiant stars is up to 1000 times the
diameter of the sun.
25. Characteristics of Stars
Distances of Stars
- Scientist use parallax to determine how far
away a star is from Earth. A parallax is an
apparent change in the position of an object
caused by a change in the position of the
observer.
- The closer a star is to Earth, the greater its
apparent change of position. Very distant
stars seem not to shift position at all.
26. Scientists express distances between stars in
light years. A light year is the distance that
light travels in one year at a speed of 300 000
km per second (kps). A light year is about
9.5 trillion km or 9 500 000 000 000 km.
The closest star is Proxima Centauri, 4.2
light years from Earth. Other stars are
hundred of light years away.
27. Characteristics of Stars
Composition of Stars
- Using spectroscope, astronomers have found that
almost all stars have the same general chemical
make-up. The most element in stars is hydrogen,
the lightest element that makes up 60% to 80% of
the total mass of a star. The second element is
helium, combination of H and He make up about
96% to 99% of stars mass.
- Other elements are oxygen, neon, carbon and
nitrogen.
28. The Polaris
Polaris, commonly known as North Star, is the
brightest star in the constellation Ursa Minor (Little
Dipper). It is very close to the north celestial pole,
making it the current northern pole star. Because it
lies nearly in a direct line with the axis of the Earth's
rotation "above" the North Pole, Polaris stands almost
motionless in the sky, and all the stars of the Northern
sky appear to rotate around it. In Figure 3, Polaris and
the star trail are seen. Star trail is a type of
photograph that utilizes long-exposure times to
capture the apparent motion of stars in the night sky
due to the rotation of the Earth.
30. In Metro Manila, when you face North,
Polaris, which is 11.3⁰ from the horizon, is
seen at around 15° due to atmospheric
refraction. In some parts of the country (i.e.
Southern Philippines), it would be very
difficult to locate Polaris since star lights
near the horizon are washed out by lights
lit by men, and /or obstructed by man-
made or topographical structures and/or
trees.
31. Fig. 4 Polaris as viewed from the Philippines (Quezon City). To locate
Polaris, face North and locate the Big Dipper. Two stars (Merak &
Dubhe) in the Big Dipper are called pointer stars because they seem to
point to Polaris.
36. An observer from Earth will be able to see the
stars that are on the night side. The stars on the
same side as the sun cannot be seen because
sunlight overpowers all the star lights.
During summer in the Philippines, the
constellations of Orion and Taurus are not visible
at night. They will be visible again as the cold
season begins. During this time, Scorpius will not
be seen in the night sky.
As the Earth revolves around its orbit, the stars
that were concealed by the bright light of the Sun
in the previous months will appear in the night
sky.
37.
38. How Early People Used the Constellations
While constellations were associated with religion,
they also have practical uses. Before the calendars,
people had no way of determining when to sow or
harvest except by looking at these patterns in the
sky. Ancient people developed a way to remember
the patterns by giving these patterns names and
stories. For example, in the northern hemisphere,
the constellation Orion indicates the coming of
cold season. The constellations made it easier for
them to recognize and interpret patterns in the
sky.
39. For example, Gemini is seen in the
Philippines during the months of April and
May. Farmers interpreted the appearance of
Gemini as the end of planting season and it
signified rich harvest. The table below
shows how the Matigsalug Manobo of
Bukidnon used the stars and constellations
in relation to their agriculture.

42. Other Uses
Another use of constellations was in
navigation. The Polaris is widely used in
navigation because it does not change its
position at any time of the night or year.
Also, one can figure out his/her latitude just
by looking at how high Polaris appears in
the night sky. This allowed sailors to find
their way as they sail across the seas.
43. Group Activity
In groups of five, observe the sun by capturing its
image on a cardboard. Obtain a telescope and a
square of white cardboard. Let one member hold
the cardboard while another member holds the
telescope in a reversed viewing position in order to
capture the image of the sun onto the cardboard.
DO NOT LOOK DIRECTLY AT THE SUN! Adjust
the board and the telescope so that the image of
the sun falls on the board. Focus the telescope
until the sun’s image becomes sharp. Try to
identify sunspots and prominences.
