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.

Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
2. 2
Chemistry of Fire
Fire burns because there are
three elements present...
Fuel
Heat
Oxygen
By removing any one element a fire can
not occur, or a fire will not be able to
sustain combustion.
3. 3
Fire Prevention
Practices...
Keep passage ways and exits clear
Ensure fire extinguishers and fire alarm
pull stations are accessible at all times
Place trash in proper receptacles
Ensure that fire doors are not blocked
open
4. 4
Plan for Fire
Emergencies...
Read & understand the fire evacuation
plan for your area
Know the location of at least two (2)
emergency exits
Know the location of fire alarm pull
stations and fire extinguishers
Take part in fire drills
5. 5
Plan for Fire
Emergencies...
Have you ever stayed at a hotel and taken the time to look
at the evacuation plan posted on the inside of the room
door?
Think about the following, you’re awakened at 3am from a
sound sleep to hear this loud whistling sound or horn
blaring. As you begin to wake up you smell smoke and
suddenly you are no longer sleepy.
6. 6
Plan for Fire
Emergencies...
You run to the door, feel it for heat and open it.
The hallway is full of thick black smoke, and it
invades your room and your lungs, choking you.
You fall to the floor and start to crawl forward
looking for the exit signs. Only you can not see
them and you do not know where the stairs are.
And you think to your self ....... your alarm rings
and you wake up, it was only a dream. But it
could happen. Always be prepared, know your
role in the event of a facility fire and take an active
part.
7. 7
In Case of Fire...
Remain calm. Don’t panic or cause
confusion. NEVER shout fire.
Proceed safely to nearest fire exit
Feel surfaces of doors before opening
Crawl to exit if smoke is present in area
Follow instructions of Fire Department
Remember R.A.C.E. and P.A.S.S.
8. 8
R.A.C.E. for
Fire Safety...
Rescue anyone in immediate danger.
Activate the fire alarm pull station
Contain the fire
Extinguish the fire, if your safety can
be assured
9. 9
P.A.S.S. for Fire
Extinguisher Use...
Pull the pin
Aim at base of the fire
Squeeze the handles together
Sweep from side to side
10. 10
Classes of Fire
The most common fire extinguisher used in healthcare
is multiclass, or what is termed an ABC class
extinguisher.
Ordinary
Combustibles
Flammable
Liquids
Involving
Electricity
Combustible
Metals
11. 11
Fire Drills...
Conducted every quarter on every shift in
Hospital
Respond immediately as if actual fire.
Remember R.A.C.E. and P.A.S.S.
All corridor fire doors are connected to fire
alarm & detection system and will close
automatically once activated
12. 12
Fire Drills...
Fire doors are designed to withstand
fire, heat and smoke for a period of
20-minutes to 3 hours.
Did you know that corridor doors are
fire doors and should have a 20
minute rating?
Corridor laboratory doors should
have a 60 minute rating.
Fire Doors are required to:
Be Self Closing: fire doors should
have a door closure that pulls doors
completely shut after the door has
been opened
Have Positive latching: a positive
latch locks a door in place so can
open swing open freely.
13. 13
No Smoking
Policy...
Smoking by anyone,
which includes patients,
visitors, medical staff,
associates, and visitors is
prohibited inside the
buildings.
15. 15
What is Electricity?
A medium that provides a very
convenient means for transferring energy
from one place to another
Correctly used, electricity is our most
versatile form of energy
Control of most electrical hazards is
neither difficult or expensive, but
ignoring them can cause serious
consequences
17. 17
Electrical Faults Result in
Shock, Burns or Fire...
Flow of Current
Occurs when a person or
conducting object bridges
gap between live
conductors and ground or
between live conductors.
This action causes current
to flow.
18. 18
Electrical Faults Result in
Shock, Burns or Fire...
This is the reasoning behind birds on
high voltage wires and why they do not
fry. Since the bird is only on the wire
there is no conduction between ground
or other live conductors. However, if I
go to trim my trees and touch the wires
or place my ladder on the wires, I have
bridged the gap between the live
conductor and the ground. Current
flows from the line through my body
and gets discharged into the ground.
That is a big OUCH!
19. 19
Electrical Faults Result
In Shock, Burns or Fire...
Static Electricity
Occurs when static
electrical charges
accumulate from
friction between
dissimilar materials.
Discharge of static
electricity causes a mild
shock.
20. 20
Causes Of Electric
Shock...
Current flow is the factor that causes
injury in electric shock; body resistance
will determine the path of flow
Once the skin is broken, a victim will
have sharply reduced internal
resistance to the flow of current
21. 21
Low Voltage Lethal Shock
Computations...
Circuits of 110 volts or less can kill
when the conditions are right. This is
regular household current.
Synchronized cardioversion 100mA
22. 22
Overcurrent Devices...
Protect circuit from excessive heating
by opening the circuit automatically in
event of excessive current flow from
accidental ground, short circuit, or
overload.
Examples include fuses and circuit
breakers.
23. 23
Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter...
GFCI is a fast-acting circuit
breaker that is sensitive to
very low levels of current
leakage (5mA) to ground.
When leakage becomes
hazardous, it interrupts
circuit.
24. 24
Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter...
You can find GFCIs in
what electricians call
“wet” areas such as the
bathroom and kitchen.
GFCIs are normally used
for outside wiring outlets
also.
25. 25
Electrical Safety
Policy...
An equipment management plan exists to
identify, evaluate, inventory, and
maintain medical equipment to reduce
the physical and health risks associated
with its usage
All biomedical and electrical equipment
used in a Hospital must be inspected and
tested prior to use and labeled with a
safety sticker
26. 26
Electrical Safety
Policy...
All electrical devices a patient may bring
into the hospital need to be inspected and
tested prior to use and labeled with a
safety sticker prior to their use.
27. 27
Electrical Safety
Rules...
Visually inspect all equipment for damage
prior to use
Do not use extension cords for permanent
wiring
Unplug equipment by pulling on the plug and
not the cord
Damaged or defective biomedical/electrical
equipment must be removed from service and
reported to appropriate authority for repair
28. 28
Electrical Safety
Rules...
Keep fluids, chemicals, and heat away from
equipment, cords, and cables
Maintain sufficient access around equipment &
panels for operations/maintenance
Do not touch energized/conductive surfaces
with one hand while touching the patient with
the other
Know the function of each control prior to
using equipment
29. 29
Emergency Power
Hospitals are equipped with emergency
generators which will start automatically if
there is a loss of electrical power
Emergency generators are tested monthly
in Hospitals
Red electrical outlets provide emergency
power for critical patient care equipment
30. 30
Just to recap,fire requires three
elements. Heat source, fuel and
oxygen. When one is absent, there can
be no fire.
It is important to take an active part in
fire drills so that you are aware of what
your role is in the event of a fire.
Remember R.A.C.E. and P.A.S.S.
Points to Remember
31. 31
Electricity is a convenient source of
energy but should not be taken for
granted.
It has a current that can be measured and
if not respected can kill.
The human body has the ability to
conduct electricity and serves as the
conducting object when an individual
touches a live circuit.
Points to Remember
32. 32
All patient electrical devices must be
checked and cleared by biomed prior to
use in the facility, they will have a tag
attached when this has been completed.
Most of electrical safety, and for that
matter fire safety, involves common
sense and an ability to keep your eyes
open for hazards in the work place.
Points to Remember
