The document contains tips for giving presentations, including avoiding excessive text on slides, using images and visuals to engage audiences, employing good design practices like readable fonts and color schemes, and focusing on conveying the core message in an entertaining way rather than reciting all details. It emphasizes grabbing audience attention through stories, jokes, or questions instead of expecting them to be fully prepared experts. The goal is to stimulate and provoke audiences rather than just convey information.

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.

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.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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.

32. Effective PowerPoint Use contrasting color schemes (design templates) These colors contrast These colors don’t contrast These colors contrast (harder to read?) These colors don’t contrast These colors contrast (harder to read?) Glasgow 2009 Sameh Shehata
34. Poor Colour schemes and/ or use of multiple colours in a single slide for your text that make it almost unreadable for your participants. Cheesy Spinning Word Art! Glasgow 2009 Sameh Shehata Classic Mistakes
35. Using animations! Glasgow 2009 Sameh Shehata Use animation effects very very very very very very very sparingly

37. FONT: Too big, too small , too fancy , too much. Glasgow 2009 Sameh Shehata
PowerPoint as a Trainers Tool The top don'ts of PowerPoint's …. Having all the text on screen Means trainer is just simply reading from the slide making this a very dull, presentation and delivery style. Note that participants can read faster than you can talk through all the text on your slide. Cut down the text, more visuals – les text mean you have to more into the delivery and participants will then focus on the trainer more. 2. Spell Checks ‘Using RDD to process the IMS mean that most depts ppl or p’sel do not run spell Cheek’ try to avoid these errrs. Your presentation looks sloppy, poorly put together. Also, try to avoid using jargon. As with you verbal delivery, trainers must use simple conversational English to convey content. 3. Avoid excessive bullet points Just like text, using too many bullet points for a visual medium is dull and ineffective. They tend to be annoying. - If you are using bullet points, try to emphasize the point that your on, before moving to the next one. Keep them well spaced and try to keep it to one line. Trainers have to learn content management skills to do this. 4. Avoid using Cartoon Clipart (stuck in a corned of the slide). - In most cases, it just looks unprofessional and tacky. The positioning of most of these pictures is stuck in a corner not following any real rules of design of the slide and has little resemblance to the point being made. Try to use real pictures as much as possible and be bold with the pictures – PowerPoint is a visual medium. 5. Colour schemes Unless working on a corporate slide, try to watch for use of colour schemes, either as background colours or choice of templates. Most corporate templates are rather dull and use white, so you have to work within the confines of using white space. - try to blend colours of the same hue rather than hard contrasting colours. 6. Complicated Charts - To ensure all the data is there, most often, trainers pack in too much information making a chart – which should be simple to read- very complicated. - reduce charts down to a minimum – keep them very clear. 7. Pointless Animation Try to avoid pointless animation. Flying (typewriter sound effect) bullet points are not good uses of animation. In business and raining the animation should be subtle. Try to use it for transition between slides use it only to reflect motion or process or giving context to a scene 8 Font Type and Size Choose 1 or 2 fonts and stick with them – don’t choose too many fonts and make sure they are readable on an electronic media like PowerPoint. Also the size of the font is important – nothing should really fall below 24 pts. 9. Microsoft themed templates Poor templates and use of visuals means the slides become repetitive and visual boring after a while because of the way we have preconceived the way PowerPoint presentations to be. Imagine if you picked up a magazine and all the pages and layout were the same with lots of text and poor visuals. Default themes and backgrounds are usually ugly, so try not to use them. This media allows you to use some creativity. 10. Poor Visuals Either choosing the wrong picture to convey the message or using low res pictures. Also placement of visuals is poorly put in. - Follow basic rules of design such as the rule of thirds to assist in placement of text and visuals. PowerPoint is a visual media and should be exploited as such.
