For many of us, kids and adults alike, we need a "reason," a motivation to get off the computer and out the door. Geocaching provides that reason, while offering all the social and educational benefits of free time outside!

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.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

10. Myth 1
Gifted kids are like cream that rises to
the top in a classroom
Not necessarily. Gifted children can have
hidden learning disabilities that go undiscovered
because they can easily compensate for them in
the early years. As time goes on though, it
becomes harder and harder for them to excel –
which can lead to behavior problems and
depression.
Source: www.ri.net/gifted_talented/character.html
11. Myth 2
Gifted students are so smart they do
fine with or without special programs:
They may appear to do fine on their own, but without
proper challenge, they can become bored and unruly.
As the years go by they may find it harder and harder as
work does become more challenging since they never
faced challenge before.
Source: www.ri.net/gifted_talented/character.html
12. Myth 3
Gifted & Talented Means the Same Thing
There is no rule that states that a child who is capable of
scoring high on achievement testing (i.e. WASL) must be
considered gifted. Such a child is most definitely academically
talented. Further IQ and out of level testing must be given
before we can define that child as gifted.
At the same time, there is no rule that states a child identified
as gifted should be achieving to high standards in the
classroom. This type of stereotyping can do damage to both
groups. Any child can benefit from enrichment or high
standards. Intellectually Gifted children need a a differentiated
curriculum and possibly even a different environment.
Source: www.ri.net/gifted_talented/character.html
13. Myth 4:
Giftedness is something to jealous
about.
This is a damaging myth . More often than not, gifted
children can feel isolated and misunderstood. They
have more adult tastes in music, clothing, reading,
material, and food. These differences to other children
can cause them to be shunned and even abused
verbally or physically by other children. Experts in the
field of gifted education are beginning to address higher
incidences of ADHD and Spelling/Handwriting disabilities
in the gifted population verses those in the much larger
general population.
