The document discusses how digital technologies can enhance teaching and learning. It describes today's students as "digital natives" who are accustomed to having technology available anywhere and anytime. The use of devices like tablets and netbooks in schools through initiatives like 1:1 computing programs is increasing. Technologies allow students to access information, create and collaborate more, moving beyond just consuming information. Teachers are encouraged to take risks, try new technologies, and let students personalize their learning. Examples are given of how Google Earth can be used in geography classes to engage students and bring real-world contexts into lessons. Overall, the document advocates for the strategic use of ICT to motivate students and support skills-based, student-centered learning.

Educational Priorities for the 21st CenturySam Gliksman
The current rate of technology advance, coupled with the rapid growth of the Internet, is revolutionizing society and the ways in which we communicate, connect and learn. In order to remain relevant, schools need to revise their educational objectives and prepare students with skills for a life of continual change and re-learning.
This is a project debating digital culture and it's influence on the classroom - do you think tablets benefit a students learning? And who are these students anyway - who are we talking about?
Watch to find out more.

1. How has the digital revolution changed society?
2. What has it done to the ways in which people access and process information?
3. How do educators adapt to these new modes of learning?

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.

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.

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.

25. Why should students use it?
Students can use Google Earth to:
- Create tours of their school or community.
- Study climate change and the effects of global warming.
- Track earthquakes in real-time.
- Travel under the surface of the ocean.
- Walk through some of the world’s forests, like the
Amazon, and explore species-specific 3D trees.
- Not only view the Earth but also the sky, Moon and Mars.
- Explore the animal kingdom and endangered species
with National Geographic content.

26. Why should teachers use it?
Teachers can use Google Earth to:
- Set the scene for geography, history, literature, astronomy
and other lessons.
- Show historical imagery of an area.
- Adapt traditionally abstract lessons to the “real-world”
by having students interact with virtual real-time data
such as weather, earthquakes, bird migrations, etc.
- Use Street View with 3D imagery, including trees, to take
the students on virtual field trips.
