The actual title of this presentation is, "I See Your Lips Moving, But I Don’t Understand You – The Multi-Generational Classroom" and it is on Multi-Generations, specifically in the classroom.
Today’s youth lead online lifestyles. They interact in online communities, build relationships, express themselves, stay informed, and find answers to life’s questions all online. Notebook PCs, smartphones, and wireless networks provide access to social networks anywhere, anytime. This generation, the iGeneration, is accustomed to on-demand, individualized service, and is becoming increasingly intolerant of traditional teaching methods where lectures and textbooks assume that “one size fits all” and that learning takes place through individual effort in a classroom. As teachers struggle to satisfy tech-savvy students, we also face pressure to serve increasing numbers of students with fewer resources. Some schools are finding success in dealing with these issues through innovative uses of technologies. Moving curricula online, adopting online pedagogies that emphasize exploration and collaboration, designing engaging activities such as “serious games,” and implementing online learning communities are key to connecting with the iGeneration. This presentation looks at current research in innovative online education technologies, along with the presenter’s own work in the area.
Exploring different theories of childhood – from the foundational theories of behaviorism and socialization; to later developments like the social learning and interactionist perspectives; and finally to recent innovative theories & perspectives like interpretive reproduction, the ecological approach, and structural and critical perspectives.
In each, we examine the social scientists and theorists behind the theory, its focus (either micro or macro, or the connections between them), its key thoughts about children, and some of the assumptions that underpin the theory.
The Parenting the Digital Generation workshop looks at the various activities kids love to do online and offers tips and strategies for everything from Facebook privacy settings, online shopping, cyberbullying, to protecting your computer from viruses.
You may have a good understanding of your core audience, but to increase attendance and revenue you’ll need to expand to new audiences, new generations. So how do you appeal to Millennials without alienating your core Gen-X patrons, and completely losing your Boomers?
In this webinar you'll learn how to:
* Promote your venue and events to reach audiences of varying age ranges.
* Tap into the right channels in the right way to reach the right audience.
* Tailor experiences that will attract specific generations without alienating others.
Safeguarding against radicalisation in primary schoolThe LearnScape
The world is going through a rough time right now: hate speech, terrorism and violence. Children notice this on social media or hear it from older siblings and therefore can't be kept in the dark anymore. It is not easy on the teachers either. How do you talk about this with your pupils? How can you build a culture of Respect and NoHate? What about Fake News? After this workshop the e-book to start working with your pupils will be given to the audience.

A look at how college/grad school "Millennial Generation" students are changing the way we teach. 1. Describing the Millennials 2. Teaching Millennials 3. Millennials as Law Students
Asks 3 important questions:
1. How has the digital revolution changed society?
2. What has it done to the ways in which people access and process information?
3. How do educators adapt to these new modes of learning?
The Overall Goal of Safe Social Media is:
Reduce exposure to violence for children and adolescents through Social Media.
In order to solve some of these problems we have created Safe Social Media an educational project “to navigate without drowning”.
Our efforts will be oriented to create an online network of youth organizations, educational institutions, parents associations, media companies and other stakeholders, in order to establish a multidirectional and intergenerational dialogue on these issues.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

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.

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”.
2. Digital Citizenship
Today, billions of people all over the planet interact
using various technologies. This interaction has
created a digital society that affords its members
opportunities for education, employment,
entertainment, and social interaction. As in any
society, it is expected that digital citizens act in a
certain way—according to accepted norms, rules,
and laws. Most of today’s students are entirely
comfortable with technology, but are they using it
appropriately? Do they understand their roles and
responsibilities in digital society? How can teachers
help students become responsible digital citizens?
3. Keys to Establishing a
Successful Program
• Understand Today’s Student
• Maintain Perspective
• Embrace Social Media
• Develop a Framework
• Reflect and Revise
6. A View of Teenagers Today
• 95% of teens spend time
with friends face to face
• 93% of teens ages 12-17
use the Internet
• 68% send instant
messages
• 65% use social
networking sites
• 64% of online teens are
content creators
9. Generational Fears/Concerns
About Youth
• Since the turn-of-the-twentieth century —and
lasting right up until today—generation after
generation of young people and adults have
increasingly come into conflict, and it probably
is not going to change anytime soon!

Example #1: What was it??
It “encourages isolation and splitting” of
families, and “puts children on a
narrowly defined developmental path,
and contributes little to social skills.”
It is “corrupting our youth” and “is not
wholesome”. It “mesmerizes our
children…teaches gambling and breeds
aggressive behavior.”
11. 11
VIDEO GAMES (1980s)
Glenn Collins, “Video Games:
A Diversion or a Danger?” New
York Times, February 17, 1983,
p. C1.
Mrs. Ronnie Lamm, quoted by
William E. Geist, in “The Battle
For America’s Youth.” New York
Times, January 5, 1982, p. B2.
12. 12
Example #2: What was it??
It “exerts a harmful influence…
upon the public mind and morals,
and particularly upon the minds
of youth and children.”
and it has “steeped the youth of
our country in filth and
degradation.”
13. 13
MOVIES (1930s)
Central Conference of American
Rabbis, quoted in “Rabbis
Denounce ‘Harmful’ Movies.”
New York Times, June 19, 1934,
p. 24.
Reverend Dr. S. Parkes Cadman,
quoted in “Cadman at Drexel
Denounces Movies.” New York
Times, June 19, 1934, p. 15.
14. 14
Example #3: What was it??
It “may well be…an insidious force that
causes children to be more aggressive,
fearful, materialistic and callous,
while at the same time makes them
more passive, less robust and damages
their educational potential.”

For Uncritical Young Eyes.”
New York Times, March 11,
1977, p. 31.

Example #4: What was it??
is “a communicable disease” is
“cannibalistic and tribalistic” and just
“another form of adolescent
rebellion.”
17. 17
ROCK-N-ROLL (1950s)
“Rock-and-Roll called
‘Communicable Disease’.”
New York Times, March 28,
1956, p. 33.

What do all of these examples
have in common?
• Young people embracing new forms of
technology/activity that adults do not understand or
know about (early adopters)
• New technologies/activities involving thematic
content with which adults are uncomfortable
• Through these new technologies/activities, young
people form “community” and speak a “language”
that is theirs & theirs alone
• Adults feel confused and left out of the picture,
begin to worry and/or get angry about their loss of
influence over “kids today”
19. What does this mean for
educators today?
• We see students behaving in our classes in
ways that we do not approve of or appreciate
• We see students engaging with technology in
ways that we consider to be inappropriate, or
rude, or detrimental to both their maturation
and education
• Overall, our struggles with students actually
are not much different from previous
generations’ struggles with us
26. Footprints in the Digital Age
• Social technology leads to a
digital footprint
• How well do our profile and
footprints reflect who we
really are?
• Object permanence has
evolved from the physical to
the virtual world
29. Digital Citizenship
• Digital citizenship can be described as the norms
of appropriate, responsible behavior with regard
to technology use.
• In their book Digital Citizenship in Schools,
Gerald Bailey and Mike Ribble identify nine
elements of digital citizenship that can be
grouped into three broad categories:
30. Student Learning and
Academic Performance
1. Digital Access: full electronic
participation in society
2. Digital Literacy: the process
of teaching and learning
about technology and the use
of technology
1. Digital Communication: electronic exchange
of information
31. School Environment and
Student Behavior
1. Digital Security and Safety:
electronic precautions to
guarantee safety/physical well-
being in a digital technology
world
1. Digital Etiquette: electronic standards of
conduct or procedure
2. Digital Rights and Responsibilities: those
freedoms extended to everyone in a digital
world
32. Student Life Outside
the School Environment
1. Digital Commerce: electronic
buying and selling of goods
2. Digital Health and Wellness:
physical and psychological well-
being
3. Digital Law: rights and
restrictions
36. Lessons Learned:
Teachers and Administrators
• Actions speak louder than words; real support
requires a time commitment and accountability
• You can’t give away what you don’t own; training
is essential to understand Digital Citizenship
• The value of the program must be abundantly
clear; it’s not an “addition” but rather part of the
culture of the school
37. Lessons Learned:
Parents
• Support means getting involved; parents and
teachers must share responsibility
• If you teach it, they will come; hands-on
workshops are much more effective than
“information” sessions
• Line between home/school can get blurred; be
prepared to address “after hours” issues
38. Lessons Learned:
Students
• Expect resistance; you are invading “their world”
and they don’t necessarily want to learn about it
with/from you
• Younger children believe everything they read;
beware media sensationalism
• Despite your best collective efforts, some will
still stray off the path; have patience
39. Lessons Learned:
Program
• Utilize a variety of instructional strategies; a
standard format is simple but not always effective
• Need to weigh benefits/drawbacks of large vs.
small group setting; consistency or intimacy
• Scope, sequence, and timeframe; how much, how
deep, and how often
