A Research Study on the Use of Wimba Classroomahornton
This presentation was presented at the 2009 Wimba Connect Conference in Scottsdale, AZ. The presentation includes the data collected after the pilot use of Wimba Classroom at The University of Southern Mississippi.
YACRS was introduced at the University of Glasgow in September 2014, initially with two first year computing science classes with a total of approximately 170 students. The initial pilot introduction was extremely successful, and the software is now in use with a wide range of courses. While the key purpose of YACRS was to replace the classroom response clicker systems, which were mostly limited to multiple-choice interactions, the use of students Internet devices allows a greater range of interactions to be possible. YACRS also allows text response questions, and can also support multiple questions being active at the same time, which can be useful as a means running quick class tests or collecting student feedback responses.
Presentation exploring the relationship between policy and practice in the development of e-assessment in higher education and the importance of establishing a policy framework - developed in collaboration with all key stakeholders - to support wider uptake among academic staff.

Integrating Smartphones Into EMS Education presented by Greg Friese, MS, NREMT-P at August 2013 National Association of EMS Educators Symposium in Washington DC.
Local news media is interested in EMS when it is at its best—saving lives—or at its worst. The coverage you receive is a reflection of intentional pre-planning and relationship building as well as inadequate preparation for sentinel events – collisions, thefts, billing fraud, LODDs, and at-work arrests. This session explores the best practices of several agencies who excel at media relations and the trends in news coverage that expose opportunities for policy change and training improvement. The session concludes with several insights about opportunities to better align field providers with mission of the EMS agency.
Greg Friese, MS, editor-in-chief of EMS1, is an experienced writer, paramedic and educator. Friese presented these slides at the 2016 Pinnacle EMS leadership forum in San Antonio.

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.

May 2013 findings
91% of adult population has a cellphone
61% are smartphone owners
Tablet sales … exponential growth
118.9 million units in 2012, a 98 percent increase from 2011 sales of 60 million units, according to Gartner, Inc. http://www.gartner.com/it/page.jsp?id=1980115
Distinction between ages.
Picture of paramedic class … by every measure 18-29 is going to use smartphones with greater frequency.
The same applies for teachers in Pew research on Advanced Placement and National Writing Project teachers. Younger teachers are much more likely to use technology, incorporate it into classroom activities, and encourage students to use it
http://pewinternet.org/Reports/2013/Teachers-and-technology/Summary-of-Findings.aspx from February 2013
Younger teachers are more confident
Younger teachers are more likely to assign web based tasks
Younger teachers are more likely to ask colleagues for ideas on how to use technology
There are notable generational differences in how teachers experience the impact of digital technologies in their professional lives
As is the case among the full adult population, differences in technology use emerge between older and younger teachers. Specifically:
Teachers under age 35 are more likely than teachers age 55 and older to describe themselves as “very confident” when it comes to using new digital technologies (64% vs. 44%)
Conversely, the oldest teachers (age 55 and older) are more than twice as likely as their colleagues under age 35 to say their students know more than they do about using the newest digital tools (59% vs. 23%)
45% of teachers under age 35 have their students develop or share work on a website, wiki or blog, compared with 34% of teachers ages 55 and older
Younger teachers are also more likely than the oldest teachers to have students participate in online discussions (45% v. 32%) and use collaborative web-based tools such as GoogleDocs to edit their work (41% v. 34%)
Younger teachers are more likely to “very often” draw on colleagues for ideas about how to use new technologies in the classroom (22% of teachers under age 35 do this), when compared with teachers age 35-54 (16%) and teachers age 55 and older (13%)
Text messaging is of course a popular activity for all phone types.

Not a disruption or distraction until you define it a disruption, label it as a disruption, and reinforce that as a disruption.
World is full of distractions.
Disastrous to try to control them all.
Distraction is a timeless problem. Role of teacher is to keep students engaged with worthwhile activities, age/skill/knowledge appropriate instructions, timely feedback, regular assessment, and breaks to re-energize.

Somewhere between a “Ban” and “Unlimited Use” is a balance.
What is the worst case scenario for allowing students to have a smartphone, tablet, or other device during class?
Broaden definition of what constitutes a class … where, when, what … get specific … what does it look and feel like?
Retrieve answers
Share questions and answers
Cheating fire, EMS, police education in the news … using old fashion methods
Giving students/employees hard copy or emailing questions
Since we can’t likely overcome ingrained habits, brain wiring, and addictive behavior how can we be intentional about using in and out of the classroom.
Use as a force for good, rather than a nefarious tool of interrupting and distracting evil.

“And yes since them I did get the drug app for my tablet since then. What had happened was that we were on the scene of a call and an elderly patient had heavy bleeding and a whole laundry list of medications. A new protocol here is if its a fall, head trauma and they are on blood thinners it's a trauma alert at the hospital now. We couldn't figure out which drug was their thinner. But yea since then I did get the app.”
