How MOOCs, tablets and apps are changing how we teachMark S. Steed
Presentation on the impact of new technologies on teaching and learning. A presentation given by Mark S. Steed, Principal of Berkhamsted School, at the Society of Heads Annual Conference, at Whittlebury Hall, Northamptonshire, on Tuesday 3rd March 2015
This study aims to investigate the benefits and challenges of Cloud Computing and Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) in Higher Education. The review will focus on the best practices and challenges faced by organizations that have implemented cloud sourcing and BYOD in efforts to save money. Cloud computing is a service for delivering computer hardware, software, applications, and even entire data centers, on the Internet instead of having to spend a capital investment to offer those services locally. In this review, we will evaluate cloud computing from four perspectives: Data Security, Faculty Training, Teaching/Learning, and Cost. In addition, the “Bring Your Own Device” concept is rapidly expanding and has significant value for educators and students. In reviewing BYOD, we will evaluate and focus on the following perspectives: Policy Creation, Data Security & Network Reliability, User Education & Support and Teaching & Learning. With the increasing interest in academia for the use of innovative technologies, this examination will be useful for Faculty, Staff, and Students in effort to understand how “Cloud Computing” and “BYOD” can create a better learning experience, both in and out of the classroom. Highlighting the lessons learned during implementation will be beneficial for Information Technologists in efforts to provide a path for successful adoption and use while demonstrating the current trends, educational benchmarks for use, and future needs in research and development in both “Cloud Computing” and “BYOD” in Higher Education.
Professional Development Y3 ssp 12 13 l14Miles Berry
Many teachers might seem reluctant to make extensive use of ICT in their teaching or to teach the ICT curriculum as effectively as they might. Furthermore, the rapid pace of technological change ensures that you and your colleagues face the continual challenge of staying up to date with technology and its use in schools. Web based communities and networks provide many opportunities for professional development and peer support.
We consider the importance of ongoing CPD and explore a number of approaches to this. Within a community of practice model, you reflect on the process of your professional formation as a teacher, comparing and contrasting this with your subsequent professional development.
I discuss a number of online resources, networks and communities of relevance to primary ICT or e-learning coordinators and you explore a number of these. We look at how you might facilitate your future colleagues professional development, through face-to-face gatherings and online communities.

The title of this essay is paraphrased from Naomi Klein’s book “No Logo”, because I believe that narcissism, that I tried to outline in the examples as well the Canadian author made using the marketing politics, is rooted in western philosophical background insofar situating the fundament of reality in a absolute order and/or absolutizing the mind, it mortifies the becoming. The challenge against the becoming is the one of men against nature and death, I am convinced that the homogenization highlighted by the Canadian author, is the result of this game.
Technologies That Will Define the Classroom of the Future Rita Lee
Such education opportunities change our representation of schooling upside down, but the world is developing and we should not follow behind it. It is difficult to say how educated pupils will be in future and whether all these changes are for better, but the fact is still the fact – technology influences both teaching and learning and our task is to get the most of it in the classroom too.
The world has changed due to the latest education technologies in every field, so education loves all tech. In today’s fast-paced world, linking technology to education has become a necessity rather than an option. With the rise of smartphones, tablets, and laptops, students can access any information. The digital revolution has changed not only the way we communicate but also how we learn. Let’s delve into the reasons why this partnership is not just beneficial but essential for the future...
How The Internet And Technology Have Improved EducationRita Lee
Technology is a powerful tool that can take education to a completely new level. Today students can show their preferences and interests to focus on as they have access to endless sources of information that can be useful for them. Of course, some new technologies and devices haven’t reached classrooms yet but their educational value has already been estimated and soon they will find their place in modern educational institutions.
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.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.
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.

2. Many of us recall scraping
sounds of chalk sliding
across the board, and the
familiar white dust clouds
out behind the school when
it was your turn to take the
erasers out to beat them
clean. The all to normal
teacher standing on front of
the class using brightly
colored visual aids is all but
a memory now as
technology has claimed a
new frontier.
Education Redefined:
3. Our children today are
being encouraged and even
driven to understand the
cutting edge of technology
as it applies to our lives as a
society. The far fetched idea
of a computer for every
student in the class room
become a reality. Elementary
students are taking classes
to learn the basics of
computer skills as part of
the standard curriculum.
Ideas become reality:
4. Students today are using
their minds in a more
complex way including the
use of more complex tools.
This ActivBoard is a
wonderful example of the
changes in classroom
education today as it has
completely replaced the
traditional chalk boards and
involves full student
participation. These boards
are often thought of as the
‘interactive whiteboard’
Practical Applications:
5. The ActivBoards are compatible with a variety of devices, including
PC’s and soon digital camera’s will be added to that list. What this
means for teachers is the ability to not only bring more information
to the classroom but also a better collaboration of educational tools.
This also includes cooperative learning with international
classrooms.
Going Global
6. Many kindergarten
classrooms are
incorporating these high
tech learning devices as
well. Such as the SMART
table. The table lets up to
eight students solve
problems collaboratively.
Tools such as these help
young minds develop
problem solving skills,
teamwork skills as well.
The technologically based
classroom in general leads
to more higher level
thinking.
We are all a team:
7. As one might expect the advances
of technology have deeply
incorporated themselves into the
high school classrooms. Here
many schools are focusing on the
fundamentals of technology to
help students develop interest in
career possibilities. As these
school continue to show
increasingly positive results more
and more middle schools are
beginning to follow suit. These
students are developing cutting
edge skills and creating projects
such as robots and alternate
energy motors.
Onward and upward:
8. Ready or not, technology has become mainstream in all
things we do. Most schools have computer labs and many
have computers in every classroom. More than 90 percent
of all schools are connected to the internet.
9. With numbers showing that
college graduates not only have
a better opportunity to grasp
those job openings, they also
have higher earning power.
What this means is more and
more people are returning to
school.
What am I doing wrong?
10. Adults returning to school
often find themselves
overwhelmed with the
demands and the time it
takes to catch up. Online
classes can offer that
opportunity to return to
school but to do so on your
own time and give you the
time you need to adjust and
catch your breath.
Technology has allowed
these classes to become
virtual including virtual labs
for those technical courses.
What am I doing?
11. Time is precious! Especially
when juggling a full time job, a
household, and children. For
this reason many adults look to
online learning for the flexibility
they need when dealing with
scheduling issues. Internet
based classes allow for
communication and assignment
submission, better
documentation with regard to
these assignments.
Give me a break!
12. Lets face it, many of us are
spoiled on the convenience
that technology offers.
Where else can you lounge in
your PJ’s sipping coffee at
your kitchen table and still
earn a degree?
Computers, the
Internet, virtual servers, and
emails have allowed so many
adults the opportunity to do
something they would
otherwise not likely do.
Shoes optional
13. Opportunities to gain a
degree at an upper scale
university has also become
factor for some seeking a
higher degree. Where
distance and familiar
obligations would otherwise
make it impossible to seek a
degree from a favorite
university across country
now it is within reach.
Well I attended …
14. With all things there are
both positives and
negatives. With the
introduction of
technology into the
classrooms so too come
the cell phones as well as
more opportunities for
students to share answers.
Nothing is perfect!
15. While there are many noteable
benefits in technology based
learning, one of the most
undeniable facts is the loss of
traditional gifts such as reading
a book. Many children are
turning their attention to video
games and computers. Many
now speculate whether the
printed book will no longer
exist in the near future in favor
of the virtual books
downloadable on favorite
shopping sites.
The death of an era
16. We have all witnessed the growth of technology, and seen even the
most avid traditionalist among us convert to using cell phones and
computers it should come as no surprise that technology has
shaped the way we learn as children or as adults.
Distance education
SMART tables and
ActivBoards are just the beginning of the new era of learning.
We go forward willingly or kicking and screaming but we must
realize that without technology, much of the things we appreciate
so much now would never have been possible. Should we embrace
the changes? I think the technology definitely has a place in the
classroom. I do believe all good things should come in small doses
however. It is an individualistic view, as the question is still being
debated. ‚How much is too much?‛
Are we going to far?
Editor's Notes
The SMART table sells in the $7,000 to $8,000 range.
According a survey conducted at Kaplan University, 91 percent of adults feel finishing a degree, seeking a degree or continuing their education make them more attractive to employers.
