Learning Materials: Presentations and VideoStaci Trekles
A workshop on designing excellent learning materials, including presentations and video, using various available technology tools. Focusing on QM Standards 4, 6, and 8.
By Lee Hon Sing
WebEx provides an online meeting environment in which a presenter can communicate with the audience through powerpoint slides, word documents and screen sharing. It is thus a very useful environment for conducting online classes and discussion meetings. It has also tools such as chat and polling facilities which enhance the interaction between the presenter and the audience. The sessions can be recorded for future referencing. In this presentation I shall give a quick demonstration and share on my experience on using WebEx for my seminar classes.
Slides used in an Elluminate "sandpit" session with colleagues. Some of the slides are intended for participant input. The labels for the "drag & drop" activity were added once the slides were in Elluminate so that they were moveable.

The basics of Agile and Waterfall Project management methodologies. Description when each approach can be applied.
Advices How to create a Product backlog and how to colect requirements. Sprint planning, Burndown chart, Demonstration, Retrospective, Tasks board examples.
Agile and Waterfall are two distinct methods of project management.
The Waterfall model can essentially be described as a linear model of project development. Like its name suggests, waterfall employs a sequential process. Development flows sequentially from start point to end point, with several different stages: Conception, Initiation, Analysis, Design, Construction, Testing, Implementation, and Maintenance.
In contrast, the Agile method proposes an incremental and iterative approach to project development. It was essentially developed in response to the limitations of Waterfall, as a way to give more freedom. The process is broken into individual models that team work on. There is no pre-determined course of action or plan with the Agile method. Rather, team-mates are free to respond to changes in requirements as they arise and make changes as the project progresses. Agile is a pretty new player to the development management. However, it has made substantial gains in use and popularity in the last couple of years.

This is a slideshow of 4 of my favorite Web 2.0 resources: Today's Meet, MindMeister, Prezi, Poll Everywhere, and Sumo Paint. For each tool, I explain what it is, why it's so great to use with students in the classroom, how to use it, and helpful tips and techniques.
This is our group presentation for my internet applications course. I had some trouble downloading it from Google docs. It would not download the Table of Contents page, saying it was corrupted. I was able to recreate the page, but I couldn't get the pictures of each student.
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
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.

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.

site that students are sure to love.
Prezi is a very cool web app that allows you to create presentations
