Electronic portfolios are online collections of academic and professional work that convey qualifications more thoroughly than resumes. E-portfolios allow creators to showcase accomplishments like theses, training materials, lesson plans, and research projects. They function as resumes, blogs, and social media combined, serving as self-reference letters. An effective e-portfolio has a clear design, organized artifacts connected to a mission statement, and samples of work demonstrating skills. While initially conceptualized as course websites, e-portfolios are professional tools for networking and job applications that highlight capabilities and professionalism.
The following paper explores the merits of using electronic portfolios in the classroom, especially as they pertain to teachers and teacher candidates.

The Art Pastor's Guide to Sabbath | Steve ThomasonSteve Thomason
What is the purpose of the Sabbath Law in the Torah. It is interesting to compare how the context of the law shifts from Exodus to Deuteronomy. Who gets to rest, and why?
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

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.

Electronic Portfolios
Electronic portfolios are online collection of professional and academic
accomplishments and creations. E-portfolios are places online where the creator can put a
selected collection that will convey their qualifications more in-depth than the space that a
resume or application allows. Beyond that a e-portfolio can follow a person throughout
their career (TEDxTalks, 2010, 4:34 mins). For example, my own e-portfolio can contain my
thesis for my undergrad degree, examples of trauma informed trainings that I wrote in my
job after graduation, sample lessons that I write while in the MAT program, and my action
research project that I will complete at the end of the program. While I can state I have all
of these skills in my resume, showing examples of my skill as a researcher and historian,
my experience working with vulnerable populations, and proof of my ability to combine
both skills and experience in my planning for my classroom to increase my effectiveness as
a teacher.
E-portfolios are used as part resume, part blog, part social media (TEDxTalks,
2010, 3:55 mins). E-portfolios are more formal than blogs and social media accounts and
are more extensive than a resume. They serve as a sort of self-reference letter for yourself.
Not just for displaying your credentials for jobs or graduate school but also to help you
network with colleagues in your profession (Lorenzo, 2005, pg. 2). In my own profession,
teaching, it is a collaborative profession. Teachers engage in professional development as
well as observing their colleagues to continually work towards improving their practice.
Having an electronic portfolio can be used a tool to show colleagues that you are
2. networking with what you have experience in and what work you have done in the past, a
useful tool in a profession like academia that encourages professional development and
continuing education.
An effective e-portfolio has several elements. First they should have a professional
design and should be easy to navigate for visitors to your portfolio. Your artifacts should be
organized in a clear and user-friendly manner and the look of your portfolio should be easy
to read and use. Your portfolio should have a clear introduction to you and a mission
statement about the purpose of your portfolio. What do you intend for viewers to take
away from your portfolio? What is your personal mission statement? These should be
answered clearly and concisely. What differentiates e-portfolios from long resumes is the
artifacts. Samples of your work and how they contribute to the mission statement and
picture of yourself that you want present. Your artifacts should be connected to your
mission statement, if it is not clear how one artifact relates to the whole then you can
briefly explain why it is included in your collection and what skills or credentials it is meant
to highlight (AuburnWrites, 2013, 0:25 mins). While I see a lot about the social elements of
e-portfolio, I think it is important to remember that this is not a personal blog or social
media profile. It is a professional tool that should highlight both your capabilities as well as
your professionalism.
I have touched on aspects that I potentially will include in my portfolio, but I am still
considering what the best use of my portfolio might be. Initially my conceptual idea of an
electronic portfolio was similar to a course website, which while not completely wrong,
was also not completely right. I see now it is somewhere between that and a resume and I
3. am still considering a way that I can introduce it appropriately to my classroom. Right now
I am going to use it as a professional tool for networking and job hunting, but I still want to
consider the application of electronic portfolios to my classroom to see if I can use it as an
element in my teaching.
