Using technology to aid global collaboration
Jacky King & Zsuzsanna Ujhelyi
Learning & Development at VSO International
VSO’s mission is to bring people together to fight poverty: but bringing people together within VSO is a challenge. The organisation is dispersed across 22 countries, mainly in Africa and Asia; diverse in their professional and cultural backgrounds and their client bases; and “strangers” in that they must build strong, trusting relationships with colleagues we may never meet face-to face. To meet these challenges, Jacky and Zsuzsanna set themselves three goals in late 2013: to provide the necessary technology for everyone to do their jobs well; to experiment with using this technology innovatively; and to access and share information about programmes effectively.
This presentation will take you through some of the ways they achieved these goals in 2014.

Finally, it covers the Knowledge Development Goals and the Agenda Knowledge for Development.
The maker revolution is here. Everyone can be a maker. Children are creating all sorts of STEAM projects. Teachers from all levels are being trained to integrate maker-based projects in their classrooms. It is the Gold Rush of micro-prototyping technologies, robotics, 3D printing, laser cutting, electronic embroidery and embedded wearables. This is partly driven by the open-source electronic market emerging from Shenzhen, online DYI communities, data sharing over the Internet, but mostly by the worldwide movement driven by the 4th industrial revolution.
The next workforce will be faced with the new demands of a ubiquitous, mobile and ambient Internet of connected objects fed by AI and machine learning (Schwab, 2016). By 2025, the World Economic Forum (2015) predicts several technological tipping points, namely 10% of people wearing clothes connected to the internet, 1 trillion sensors also connected to the internet, the first robotic pharmacist, the first 3D printed car in production, and the first implantable mobile phone available commercially. This will bring unprecedented changes because they will arrive at a speed that will affect all our systems in all continents. They will force us to revise the nature of how we live, how we interact with each other and how we work.
Maker education is part of the solution to prepare the next generation workforce because it confronts learners to programming languages, robotics, additive manufacturing, prototyping, the internet of things and the sensing environment. More than just knowledge about these topics, learners have to develop competencies that will prepare them for a complex and ever-changing world that even experts cannot yet imagine. In this talk, I will present the global context for maker education and an operationalized definition of how to develop competencies in this context. I will also present results of several studies on this topic. More specifically, I will discuss fundamental maker knowledge, attitudes, resources, and how to design activities to mobilize competencies to complete multi-faceted projects or solve complex problems.

The exponential growth of social media and the ubiquitous use of mobile technology has changed the way we communicate both socially and for many also professionally. Digital spaces have to some extent removed barriers enabling social learning that is no longer constrained geographically (spacial boundaries) or by time-zone differences (temporal boundaries).
It is therefore timely to consider our digital capabilities and how these can be used to communicate and collaborate; and through interconnectedness provide opportunities for lifelong and lifewide learning that extend beyond the formal learning we are all familiar with.
This talk will consider why a professional online presence is so important; the value of using social media to develop global personal learning networks; and how through open sharing with our interconnected networks it is possible to develop our scholarly practice.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
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.
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
6. Sustainable Development Goals
Target 16.10 : Ensure public access to information and
protect fundamental freedoms, in accordance with national
legislation and international agreements.

Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable
development, provide access to justice for all and build
effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all
levels.
16. Three types of information
eTwinning Online Professional Development Workshop 16
Mis-information is when false information is shared, but no harm is
meant.
Dis-information is when false information is knowingly shared to
cause harm.
Mal-information is when genuine information is shared to cause harm,
often by moving information designed to stay private into the public sphere.
We can say we know things we know because we have evidence for them. And what we know, depends then on the evidence that we have for different factual assertions.
In practice, there are five key types of evidence that we tendto use on a regular basis to support the different factual assertions that we have.On occasion, we'll use proofs of the sort that we were talking about earlier.We also use claims, things we've heard from elsewhere.Experiences, things that we've been encountered or experienced.We'll used inferences,which are extensions that we make from other kinds of evidence.And we'll also use deductive testing,which is often talked about as the scientific method.
What's real? What's fake? It's getting harder to tell. Nowadays, anyone with access to a phone or computer can publish information online. As more people use social media and other online sources, it's even more important that all of us, especially kids, learn to decode what we read online.
But we can also find a relation with information on Goal 16 – Peace, Justice and Strong institutions, in target 10 that want to Ensure public access to information….
