Intelligence Augmentation, Decision Power, And The Emerging Data Sphere
Human civilization depends on our ability to manage its increasing complexity. Behaviors, processes, and decisions that in the past were tolerated by the complex adaptive system we call Earth, are now more and more showing unforeseen consequences in unexpected places.
Many of our theories about the workings of the world are hampered in their predictive power by the lack of data, and suffer garbage-in, garbage-out effects. New interconnected sensor networks, fast, and ubiquitous communications, and the parallel power of our massive software systems are the never too soon answer to this need, and promise to revolutionize the way we understand, and act upon the planet.
The data sphere we are building, developing through every traceable action of millions of people, and billions, soon trillions of devices, designs a fine-grained picture of necessary understanding, and empowers us to believe that we can indeed aim to evolve our civilization, and to move it to the next levels of complexity, and achievement of human potential.
David Orban is an entrepreneur and visionary. He is Chairman of Humanity+, Advisor of the Singularity University, a Founder of WideTag, Inc., a high technology start-up company providing the infrastructure for an open Internet of Things. David shapes the strategic vision of its technologies by developing the policies and communication steps necessary to enable constructive progress. He is further a Scientific Advisory Board Member for the Lifeboat Foundation. David cuts across the limits of deep specialization to contribute to the new renaissance. He explains, “My vision is at the crossroads of technology and society as defined by their co-evolution.” David Orban’s personal motto is, “What is the question I should be asking?” This concept is his vehicle to accelerating cycles of invention and innovation in order to build the new world ahead.
Rethinking mlearning and the Promise of Flying Cars ConfabEdu 2014Andrew Smyk
Mobile technology’s innovation and growth have outpaced and outgrown our current teaching ideals and delivery methodologies at all levels of education. We are entering into a perfect storm for m-learning. Instead of top-down transmitting models, we could engage learners with collaborative models that are already in place via text messaging and crowdsourcing available via social networks. We could encourage anywhere, anytime learning through instant access to information and more satisfying inquiry for teachers and learners.

Whilst we sometimes focus on the rational benefits of technology, digital interactions affect us on a biological and emotional level. The web and its metrics made our real self and our web self became two different characters.
How might technology assist in equipping low-income parents with tools and information to help their children meet developmental milestones and read on grade level by the end of third grade?
In 2012, the Joan Ganz Cooney Center and the New America Foundation are partnering to produce a scan of new technologies that are available to educators, parents and young children that may have some bearing on early literacy achievement. One motivating force behind the project is the importance of the context in which technologies are used and the extent to which digital media may or may not prompt parents to engage in language-rich conversations with their children.
The project is proceeding on two tracks. We are scanning and analyzing products (apps, ebooks, games and websites) that companies are marketing as literacy-focused. And we are seeking out examples of models, interventions and programs that employ technology in reaching educators, parents and/or children, particularly those in disadvantaged circumstances. This slideshow presents some early findings from our scans of the marketplace and interviews with leaders in early literacy programs around the country. The second stage of our project, to come this fall, is a published analysis with expanded materials available online for wider national dissemination.
This presentation looks at the generation of students in our K-12 schools today. The focus needs to be on the students in our classes without stereotyping students as digital natives. The focus also needs to be on relationships and not on technology. The presentation was delivered on Dec. 8, 2011 to the Newfoundland Labrador Association of Directors of Education (NLADE).

Empowering inquiry based learning with Web2.0 mash-ups.
Presentation for ECAWA Conference 2007.
'Web 2.0' and the new models of communication and research that it enables means teachers and students can embed and automate the inquiry based learning process. Instant messaging, blogging, podcasting, Skype, wikis, RSS are but some tools available in the 'participatory social web' that allow students to become become knowledge creators and teachers to become facilitators. And the impact that this has on education could be enormous.

Mobile Learning Action research project - Nicky HocklyThe Consultants-E
Our learners increasingly expect to be able to use their mobile devices in their language learning, and not just for downloading apps. In this talk I describe a mobile device based action research project that I carried out with two groups of international adult EFL learners (a beginners group, and a lower intermediate group) in the UK. The action research project aimed to identify some of the choices and challenges involved in a BYOD (bring your own device) approach in the classroom. Data included entrance and exit surveys, as well as student interviews, and the digital artifacts created by the students themselves during the project with their devices. From the experience, I developed a framework consisting of six parameters that need to be taken into account for effective, communicative, language production tasks that can be supported by mobile devices. The talk describes some of the activities carried out with the learners, the rationale for these, and presents the six parameters for effective mobile task design for the EFL classroom. It also describes some of the challenges faced, and suggests how these might best be approached.

No tech, low tech? Teaching and technology in low resource ELT contextsThe Consultants-E
Nicky Hockly's presentation on mobile technology projects in low resource contexts
Abstract: Is it possible to teach English with technology in low-resource contexts? Do teachers need to have expensive up-to-date technology, and reliable IT infrastructure to even consider integrating the use of technology into their English language classes? I address these questions by looking at what EFL teachers can and can't do in contexts with few resources, and provide some suggestions for teachers who would like to start working with technology in their classrooms, but are concerned that they do not have the means.
Digital Literacies, by Nicky Hockly, The Consultants-EThe Consultants-E
A talk for the Teacher Educators Conference in Hyderabad, India in February 2013.
ABSTRACT:
Digital literacies, the technical skills and social practices needed to effectively interact with digital technologies, are key 21st century skills, and are increasingly important in educational curricula. What exactly are these literacies, and where might they have a place in English language teacher training? We look at the theory underpinning digital literacies, explore how teacher training courses can address them, and consider the challenges involved in operationalising digital literacies in the low-resource classroom.
Conference plenary.
Abstract: Futuristic technology is not just the provenance of Hollywood movies. In many ways, the future is already present and here with us today. We will examine how futuristic technologies such as robots, haptics, wearable technology and more are becoming a part of our daily lives. Most importantly, we examine what this might mean for language teachers both now and in the future.

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.

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.
