Web 2.0 Toolbox: Easy to Learn ..... Easy to UseBev
Notes used for a presentation with Teacher Learning Network in Melbourne, Australia on September 13, 2012 outlining easy to use Web 2.0 tools that teachers can use in the classroom tomorrow.
A quick introduction to these Social Media technologies: blogs, Delicious, SlideShare, podcasts, YouTube and Twitter.
Some suggestions / examples for their possible use in teaching and learning
How could you use them in your teaching?
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.
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.

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.

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.

WIKIS, BLOGS AND WEB
PUBLISHING
2. CREATING A WIKI
• First Reactions: Where will I begin!
• In the beginning:
• Initially coming up with the Wiki topic was challenging:
• What to do, create something to be used with a lesson,
something for sharing information?
• So I settled on a real need with my students!
• I give an end of the year project that requires students to
research a Civilization, and in the past, it was very
difficult to share all the information needed.
• I see the Wiki as a way to easily share the links and steps
to the assignment for all my students!
4. THE RSS FEED
• First Reactions: This could be interesting.
• Professional and Personal uses abound:
• This is an amazing resource that I had never known
existed, or the amount of possibilities it unlocks.
• Uses:
• Daily News from around the world
• Students getting involved in Local, US, and World Media outlets
and events.
• Subscribing to amazing educational sites with tons of resources
and ideas to try in my classroom.
• Personal: Staying up to date on my favorite sports teams.
• I cannot wait to really dive into the applications and
how I can use it in my class
6. BLOGGING
• First Reactions: The assignment I was Most Dreading!
• I had started out very apprehensive to the idea of a
blog.
• From my experience, blogs were an open diary, sharing
you ideas and the events of the day.
• After watching the video and seeing its potential, I really
started to fall in love with it!
• I plan on using it as a source of sharing enrichment
activities with my students, a “This Day in History”
segment, sharing upcoming events, and needed
materials.
• I hope to experiment more and learn how to hopefully
embed the website to my online course as well!
8. VARIOUS WEB TOOLS AND
APPLICATIONS
• First Reactions: Excited to learn more tools at my
disposal!
• Teaching in an online environment has prepared me a
little bit for using different online tools.
• My colleges and I generally share our lessons and ideas
via Google Drive, but I had little experience making
google forms. I was really excited to use this a way of
getting formative assessments for my students.
• I can embed the form with reading and questions in my
course, or share it with my students in live sessions, then
measure their progress with similar assignments as the
year progresses, while also getting a snap shot of where
they are at that moment!
10. OTHER TOOLS I LOOK FORWARD TO
USING!
• Pinterest
• Google Docs
• Dropbox
• Twitter
• Prezi
• Snagit
• Edmodo
• Socrative
11. REACTIONS TO MOODLE COURSE
• The Organization of Moodle was very normal to me.
As I teach online, my course is setup in a fairly similar
manner. Start with introductory materials and
presentation, move onto more tools and resources,
and finishing with the assignment.
• I would have preferred the have each rubric
located in the topic it was for, but overall it was well
organized and easy to maneuver.
• I greatly enjoyed the resources, and the way the
materials were being presented, especially the
videos, as they explained everything quickly and
concisely in a language I could comprehend!
