This document discusses essential questions and information literacy models. It defines essential questions as open-ended questions that have no right answer and promote deeper thinking about a topic. Supporting questions provide background to guide work on a unit, while unit questions frame specific inquiries to uncover an essential question. The document lists qualities of effective essential questions and provides examples. It also briefly describes several prominent information literacy models, including the Big6 approach. The goal is to help students learn to ask their own essential questions to guide research and ensure their work goes beyond simply summarizing facts.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is everywhere, promising self-driving cars, medical breakthroughs, and new ways of working. But how do you separate hype from reality? How can your company apply AI to solve real business problems?
Here’s what AI learnings your business should keep in mind for 2017.
Study: The Future of VR, AR and Self-Driving CarsLinkedIn
We asked LinkedIn members worldwide about their levels of interest in the latest wave of technology: whether they’re using wearables, and whether they intend to buy self-driving cars and VR headsets as they become available. We asked them too about their attitudes to technology and to the growing role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the devices that they use. The answers were fascinating – and in many cases, surprising.
This SlideShare explores the full results of this study, including detailed market-by-market breakdowns of intention levels for each technology – and how attitudes change with age, location and seniority level. If you’re marketing a tech brand – or planning to use VR and wearables to reach a professional audience – then these are insights you won’t want to miss.

The Question is the Answer: Making the Language Arts Classroom Meaningful wit...darinjohn2
Ashley Jorgensen, Price Laboratory School, UNI
This presentation will focus on developing a curriculum built around inquiry-based units of instruction in a secondary language arts classroom. Audiences will have the chance to see evidence of how the use of essential questions can lead students into a process of inquiry, giving them the skills they need to think critically, question the world around them, and broaden and deepen their perspectives by connecting with others. Audiences will embark on a journey that takes them through a course entitled, ‘The American Teenager,’ and see the activities, assessments, and instructional strategies that transformed this course from a traditional study of American Literature to a course that is relevant, engaging, and challenging for teenagers in the 21st century. Through essential questions like ‘How do societal expectations impact our identity?’, ‘What are the costs and benefits of conformity?’ and ‘Is the American Dream a reality for all?’, this course blends classic and contemporary, and combines writers like Sherman Alexie with The Breakfast Club, Henry David Thoreau with text messaging, and Catcher in the Rye with Jay-Z. Audiences will gain important techniques for creating a classroom built around student-led discussions, including Socratic Seminars and blogging, as well as see examples of competency based assessments fully aligned with the Iowa Core Curriculum and National Common Core Standards.
En estudios e investigación, tener un "problema" está en el centro del proceso investigativo y es el compuesto básico para generar preguntas creativas, alrededor de las cuales gira la actividad investigativa.
¡Cómo debemos mirar la prácitca docente y la evidencia del aprendizaje de los estudiantes, como un problema a investigar, analizar y discutir?

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.

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.

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.

4. “Questions and questioning may be the most powerful technologies of all.” —Jamie McKenzie in Beyond Technology
7. Essential Questioning “Questions and questioning may be the most powerful technologies of all.The results of your research should be more than just a regurgitation of the facts or a summary of other people’s ideas. They should be based on new ideas, explanation, analysis, and evaluation. The best way to insure that your work is thoughtful and original is to pose an essential question and supporting questions for inquiry once you decide on a topic of study. -- Jamie McKenzie in Beyond Technology
8. Essential Questions… Have no right answer Can be answered by all students. Enable all students to learn. Involve thinking, not just answering. Make students investigators. Are provocative -- they hook students into wanting to learn Offer a sense of adventure, are fun to explore and try to answer. Require students to connect learning from several disciplines Challenge students to demonstrate that they understand the relationship between what they are learning and larger world issues. Enable students to begin from their own past experience or understanding. Nido de Aguilas 2003 * created by Shari Barnhart 2001
9. Supporting questions work with the essential question to provide background and guide the work on a particular unit of study. tend to be more topic- and subject-specific. provide subject- and topic-specific doorways to essential questions.
10. Unit questions frame a specific set of inquiries; they are designed to point to and uncover the essential question through the lens of particular topics and subjects.
11. Qualities of Essential questions They point to the heart of a subject or topic, especially its controversies. They generate multiple plausible answers, perspectives, and research directions-leading to other questions. They cast old knowledge, ideas, text in a new light; they make the familiar strange and the strange familiar. They lead to discovery and uncoverage, as opposed to “coverage.” This means that you don‘t need to know all the information on a particular topic, but know essential information well. Less is more. Less is better. Go in-depth in your study instead of trying to cover a topic that is too broad. Essential questions engender further and deepening interest in the subject. They are provocative, enticing, and engagingly framed. Essential questions are higher-order, in Bloom‘s sense: they are always matters of analysis, synthesis and evaluative judgment. You must “go beyond” the information given. Answers to essential questions cannot be found. They must be invented.
12. Examples of essential questions What would life in America be like today if the two World Wars had not been fought? How might our lives be different if the general election took place in Hong Kong? How do we learn about American life through fiction? What is poverty? Who is an American? How have attitudes of the Hong Kong people been influenced by cinema over time? Is Chinese history a history of progress?
13. It would be best if students could learn to frame their own essential questions, but in most cases they will require several experiences with teacher generated questions before they can shed years of practice with trivial information-gathering questions.
