How'd you do that? Long Beach Presentation for ITCkfrisch
This is my powerpoint presentation from the 2012 ITC National Conference in Long Beach, CA on eLearning. The presentation was titled, "How'd You Do That? Tips and Tricks that might account for my 95% retention rate. Slides have more data on them then I'd like, but I tried to provide you with just the right amount of information to match what I talked about in the presentation itself. Thanks!
I would describe myself as a very determined and highly motivated person. I enjoy meeting new people and finding ways to help myself have an uplifting experience. I am a dedicated person. I enjoy reading, and the knowledge and perspective that my reading gives me has strengthened my learning skills and presentation abilities. I have been successful at passing all my modules, and I attribute this success to my ability to plan, schedule, and handle many different tasks at once.

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.
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.

Honest Reviews of Tim Han LMA Course Program.pptxtimhan337
Personal development courses are widely available today, with each one promising life-changing outcomes. Tim Han’s Life Mastery Achievers (LMA) Course has drawn a lot of interest. In addition to offering my frank assessment of Success Insider’s LMA Course, this piece examines the course’s effects via a variety of Tim Han LMA course reviews and Success Insider comments.
3. Myth/Misunderstanding #1
All of the work can be
done in class.
Most of the “work” is done outside of class including digital
communication via discussion forums, blogs, and other web 2.0
apps. Also there are assignments and projects to be completed
outside of class. Class time is used to get a jump start on artifacts
of learning, share ideas, troubleshoot, and problem solve.
5. Myth/Misunderstanding #2
Step by step instructions will
be provided for all assignments
and projects.
It would be impossible for me to provide step-by-step instructions for each
project and assignment because there are many different ways to accomplish
the same task AND so many different apps we’ll be using. That would be like
telling someone there is only one way to get dressed, travel to North Carolina
or teach a class. There are obvious starting points and best practice
suggestions which will be identified. Beyond that it’s vital to be able to use
technology to find answers. In addition, it’s essential we collaborate to help
each other reach milestones. You will know the destination (rubric) before
you set out. There are many paths to reach it. That sure makes it a lot less
boring and a lot more fun!
7. Myth/Misunderstanding #3
There’s too much dead
time in class.
I hate dead time and plan purposefully hoping to optimize instructional time.
However, sometimes the best planned lessons don’t go as expected due to
technology gliches, the learning needs of others, and other unexpected
events. In the event of “dead” time, take the initiative to help someone who
may be having difficulty, troubleshoot the problem we’re experiencing or learn
more about the topic in which we are engaged. There is no such thing as
“dead time” when you’re sitting in front of an Internet connected computer.
(and this doesn’t mean updating your Facebook status)
9. Myth/Misunderstanding #4
The class is too hard.
It’s not nearly as hard as it will be planning differentiated lessons everyday,
creating authentic assessments and grading them, tending to the academic,
emotional, social and sometimes spiritual needs of your students and
colleagues. I acknowledge that my expectations are high. Education majors
have but one 2 credit hour course to be introduced, apply and begin to master
principles and applications of education technology.
Similar to ELA and mathematics, technology is a subject that transcends one’s
life and the classroom. Whether you’re a physician, lawyer, mechanic,
researcher, deputy sheriff, child advocate or salesman, technology will
influence your life. If EDU120 appears difficult, there’s a reason – it’s
important. Remember, I am here for you to make it easier, not more difficult.
11. Myth/Misunderstanding #5
Prof. Gardner will adjust projects
suited to fit my needs.
Projects may be adjusted to suit your needs, but you need to do the adjusting!
I do not know the ins and outs of every profession and how and why an ed
tech class would be helpful. Please bring me your ideas for adapting
assignments and/or projects in order to make them useful and meaningful to
you. I’m all ears, willing and excited to hear about them.
15. Myth/Misunderstanding #7
There’s too much busy work in
discussion forums and blogging.
I do not believe in busy work. If a task appears to be busy work, please ask
yourself first: “Have I read the assignment and reviewed the rubric
thoroughly.” Next ask yourself, “Am I beginning the task with the right
attitude?” - an attitude that either understands that you may be enlightened
or have the opportunity to enlighten others?
Finally if you cannot determine the purpose or value in an assignment or
project, ask me. There shouldn’t be any tricks or secrets in our class. Maybe it
needs to be tweeked. I am here to learn from you, too.
17. Myth/Misunderstanding #8
I have too many usernames and
passwords already.
Having several usernames and passwords can be confusing, however, in this
class, more will be created. This is unavoidable since that is the direction ed
tech is moving. As cloud computing and Web 2.0 apps take hold and gain in
popularity, creating new usernames and passwords is inevitable. At last count
I had over 80 different platforms which required a username and password.
Write them down if you must (not ones like bank accounts, etc.) Try to
duplicate them as much as possible for low stakes environments. (not email,
financial or MU academics)
19. Myth/Misunderstanding #9
Night class.
Yes, bummer. A night class. Believe me I’m spent at the end of the day too. As
difficult as it is to sit in class, how would you like to teach for 2.5 hours? I do
my best to mix it up using whole group instruction, hands on, peer
assessment, self assessment, video clips, podcasts, student presentations,
writing, brainstorming, formative assessments, etc. Still, it is a night class.
I get up at 4:00 am every day, check email accounts, Facebook, Google Reader,
Google News and pray. After my run, I try to hit up Mass and then begin my
day. By 8:00 pm I’m spent. I totally feel your pain and fatigue.
21. Myth/Misunderstanding #10
There is not enough time to
complete assignments and
projects.
Post secondary education is as much about learning adult life skills such as time
management, information processing, preparation, and communication skills as it
is learning about your content (well almost as much.) Here are some tips to help
you complete assignments on time.
1. Ensure you thoroughly understand the assignment and review the rubric
before you start.
2. Utilize the resources available (provided on Canvas, classmates, Google, me).
3. Begin work on the day it is assigned and work steadily toward your goal of
completion.
4. If you feel like you’re getting in trouble, get help immediately.
23. Myth/Misunderstanding #11
The pace is too fast.
Yes the pace is fast. Please slow me down if you have a question or I’m unclear.
I’m passionate about education and only have 1 semester to prepare you. I
convey a sense of urgency because I really care about education and about
you. Plus I really love what I do (in case you can’t tell.)
25. Myth/Misunderstanding #12
Prof. Gardner doesn’t care.
I care enough to:
• challenge you and hold you to high expectations
• thoroughly review your work and provide feedback
• communicate my own deficiencies in hopes you’ll learn from them
• speak on your behalf or write you a quality letter of recommendation (should
you ever need one)
• stay on top of my game by continuing to read, attend conferences, dialog with
teachers, observe classrooms and do whatever it takes to perfect both the art
AND science of teaching
• think about you every single day (and many times a day) lifting you up in prayer
if needed for any special intention or challenge you may have shared with me
• sacrifice time with my family, my friends or personal time in order to help you
prepare to be the best professional you can be.

Misunderstandings
Communicate
27. Key to Dispelling Myths and Alleviating
Misunderstandings
Communicate
Be an advocate for your learning. As teachers we want to create independent,
confident, capable students. Teachers are not always at their students’ side.
Students move on and that’s why I believe we need to teach students how to
be advocates for their learning and try instill in them a desire to learn and to
continue to ask profound questions that lead to meaningful answers.
This class is no different – be an advocate for your learning. Remember, you
get out of it what you put into it. Make it count.
