9 Key P's for Proactive Knowledge - Digital Citizenship in 2016Vicki Davis
Digital citizenship for the modern age is often best taught with students researching and learning about the nine aspects of digital citizenship. Presented at GAETC by Vicki Davis @coolcatteacher
This presentation shares the perspectives of three education faculty who incorporated Twitter into their traditional, blended, and online classes as a way to expand and extend the class “conversation” beyond the classroom. Courses involved were at both the undergraduate and graduate level in subjects ranging from science education to the community college. Our fourth presenter is a student teacher who will share her experiences with Twitter assignments as well as how she envisions using Twitter with elementary students in her future classroom.
'10 Great but now Overlooked Tools' by Graham ThomasTEST Huddle
The idea for this presentation came directly from EuroSTAR 2011. Sitting on the bus back to the conference centre after attending the Gala Dinner, a discussion started, about industry luminaries who turn up at conferences and give presentations which roughly say "Don't do all the stuff that I told you to do 5 years ago! Do this stuff now." But, but, but . . . .
As we got talking I realised how many simple effective tools I no longer used, because they have either become overlooked, forgotten and thus fallen into disuse, or because modern methods claim not to need them and they are redundant. I wondered if any of them were worth looking at again - starting with my trusty flowcharting template; I realised it is a great tool which I have overlooked for far too long!
Here is my list of 10 great but now overlooked tools:
• Flowcharts
• Prototypes
• Project Plans
• Mind Maps
• Tools we already have at our disposal like ....
• Aptitude Tests
• Hexadecimal Calculators
• Desk Checking
• Data Dictionaries and Workbenches
This is my list of really useful tools that I think are overlooked. In the webinar I will outline each tool, why I think it was great, and what we are missing out by not using it.
And it naturally follows that if there are some tools we have overlooked then there are also some tools that we should get rid of! I will identify some.
Hopefully this webinar will give you a different perspective on tools to use for testing, some tools that may be improved upon or plain discarded, and help you think about the tools you currently use and maybe to view them in a different light.

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.

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.
8. Why Use Twitter?

Doctoral Researcher,
School of Life Sciences, University of Westminster
k.sum@my.westminster.ac.uk
@KiuSum
9. @KiuSum
How do I use it? Part 1
Personal use?
Build “me” - as an early career
researcher
The quickest way to be updated on
what’s happening, when no-one knows
what’s happening
(Yep am just seeing what you are doing these days…)
10. @KiuSum
How do I use it? Part 2
Professional Use
Is all about those ### (i.e.
#LegoNutSciGradGoesPhD #LTHEchat
#SocMedHE19 #RAISE19)
Conferences
& Events
Use “Lists” & checking in (journals,
university, my PhD, etc…and oh, the all important TfL
updates ☹)
Engage with
Tweeters
Finding Opportunities
“Hi, my name is Kiu. I don’t think we’ve met
before in person, but we have chatted online
before…”
11. 1. Quickest way to know what’s
happening (for social & educational)
2. Is all about those ####...(can attend
events but not actually there…)
3. You = Your Brand
4. Analytics (wait, is #SocMedHE19 trending yet??)
5. Following people but not actually
following them (shhh…don’t tell others!)
@KiuSum
Pros and Cons (of Twitterverse)
1. ⬇Productivity
2. Is everywhere…yes, even your boss and or
those people who you never liked…
3. Temptation to talk the most random
stuff
4. Learning to write succinctly (280
characters…enough to say in one long breathe)
5. People interaction (are we becoming robots?)
17. How do I use Snapchat
• Optional.
• Chat function.
• Sending images from
cameral roll.
• I ask questions.
• The students ask
questions.

• Share with non-snappers
@SFaulknerPandO
19. Snapchat for revision
• Allows students to interact with
each other AND the lecturer
• Can interact at a time suitable to
them
• “Beneficial for exam
preparations”.
• “Less formal”.
• “More relaxed way of asking
questions”.
• “We can see when you are
available”.
@SFaulknerPandO
22. It can also do stuff
like this ...
Scan this with the Flipgrid App
(not just a QR Reader) and see
