The document discusses evaluating the credibility of websites. It provides examples of four websites to analyze using the R.E.A.L. method, which stands for Read the URL, Examine the content, Ask about the author or owner, and Look at the links. The document identifies two of the example websites as hoaxes based on this evaluation method.

The technology of social change: 2015 Nonprofit Tech Conference IgniteCoLab Coop
At a tech conference it's natural to give a lot of attention to really cool technology. But too often successful social movements are only examined on the surface, and from Tahrir Square to Ferguson all we hear are cries of the "Twitter revolution" or criticisms of "slacktivism." We need to go deeper. We need to look at how social justice works, apply it to your own situation, and then pick the tools that support that work. While I work as a freelance web developer, my degree is in social movement theory and my background is community organizing, and I spent a few minutes talking about what really powers successful social change
TRANSCRIPT
Some of you already know lots about social justice; you've been working harder and fighting longer than I've been alive. But others are newer to this, or ended up here via a marketing or fundraising route, so I want to talk a little bit about the technology of social change.
In popular culture, we have two stories we usually tell about social change -- two lenses in which we view advocacy and activism. The first is about an inspiring leader. Like Rosa Parks, who we hear was too tired to get up and prompted a city to boycott a racist public policy.
The second story we tell is about a spontaneous event. Something shifted in the world around us, and people responded in positive ways. Egyptians took to the square, and to Facebook, to reclaim their democracy.
While both of these stories have kernels of truth -- events happen, and people inspire -- they are fundamentally not how social change occurs. Instead, it's movement-building work that pushes change forward.
Rosa Parks wasn't just tired -- she was trained, as these photos from the Highlander Folk School show. The Egyptian revolution didn't just happen, it was preceded by years of student organizing, shown in the Atavist article “The Instigators.”
The most successful social change movements didn't just get lucky or figure out how to use the newest tools, they were built through concerted strategic planning. Catalyst moments might be unplanned, but the infrastructure can be built ahead of time.
Now, in our organizations, we tend to privilege one set of actions over the other. We focus on important task-based work like website development, fundraising, communications, and the campaign strategy I just mentioned.
But there's more to an organization and more to a movement than that. There's another group of endeavors sometimes called maintenance work, and it flies under the radar even though it's crucial to keeping our campaigns afloat.
Maintenance work involves things like leadership development, facilitating communication, conflict resolution, anti-oppression work, and visioning, the things that fertilize our movements.
We often privilege task work over maintenance work. Community knowledge and strategic knowledge are devalued in favor of technical knowledge, because technical knowledge can be more easily measured.

On April 27, 2010, tornadoes ravaged the state of Alabama. In an effort to reunite families with their lost pets, several local Birmingham women involved in animal rescue came together and began a social media campaign. The simplicity of WordPress and its ease of use allowed a site to be created in a very short period of time. It provided emergency information, volunteer coordination, and an organized forum for listings of lost and found animals that was easily accessible. As a result, local shelters were able to distribute pertinent information and lives were saved.

Presented at eLearning Korea 2016 by Leslie Kennedy, EdD, Director Affordable Learning Solutions, CSU Office of the Chancellor. Topic: MERLOT and OER Resources
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.

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.
Students, digital devices and success - Andreas Schleicher - 27 May 2024..pptxEduSkills OECD
Andreas Schleicher presents at the OECD webinar ‘Digital devices in schools: detrimental distraction or secret to success?’ on 27 May 2024. The presentation was based on findings from PISA 2022 results and the webinar helped launch the PISA in Focus ‘Managing screen time: How to protect and equip students against distraction’ https://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/education/managing-screen-time_7c225af4-en and the OECD Education Policy Perspective ‘Students, digital devices and success’ can be found here - https://oe.cd/il/5yV
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.
