During the school year 2007-08 the environmental team of Naxos 2nd Junior High school accomplished the project entitled “Following the traces of naxian emery”. The emery related topic was chosen due to the great importance of this mineral to the island’s life and geoenvironment. The main purpose of this project was to inform the students and also a broader public, outside Naxos, about emery - a material that played, since antiquity, a significant role in naxian society and culture, and Greek history in general. The project also intended to sensitize the students and the local community relatively to the sustainable development of regions that suffer of population and cultural decline. In a framework of research and artistic creation, the team created educational material concerning the emery issue, which is available to other schools – “The emery educational kit”. This consisted of a) an information booklet concerning the stone, b) a puzzle game relative to emery mining, c) an educational board game about emery and d) a documentary film produced by the team and entitled “Following the traces of naxian emery”.
The present paper raises the question of a possible exploitation of Samos emery deposits during the antiquity, taking into account the attested emery mining on the island, during the 19th and 20th c. A.D. Is it possible that Samos emery, diasporitic or transitional in its composition, had been used in a similar way with the emery from Naxos, the main and most known emery source in the Aegean archipelago? As a first step for the investigation of this question, existing geological and historical data concerning the Samian emery are put together and are examined with references to the Naxian mineral. Especially as far as the mineralogical structure of the Samos emery is concerned, besides the existing data, SEM-EDS micro-analysis was conducted, in order to enable the recognition of the mineral in possible future analysis of archaeological findings. Finally, the few known archaeological findings that may indicate a probable ancient exploitation of the Samos mineral are presented, underlining the need of further examination and enrichment in order to draw conclusions on the topic.

GEOLOGICAL INFO COLLECTION OF MYANMAR RUBY by Myo Aung Ex- Exploration Geolog...MYO AUNG Myanmar
Mogok and other villages nearby have been famous since ancient times for its gemstones, especially ruby and sapphire, but semi-precious stones such as lapis lazuli, garnet, moonstone, peridot and chrysoberyl are also found. The gems are found in alluvial marble gravels by means of panning, tunneling and digging pits by hand. There is little mechanization of the mining. The gravels derive from the metamorphosed limestones (marbles) of the Mogok metamorphic belt.
Gems are sold in markets in Mogok; however, foreigners require special permits to visit the town, and purchase/export of gems from Myanmar at non-government licensed dealers is illegal.
90% of the world's rubies come from Myanmar. The red stones from there are prized for their purity and hue. Thailand buys the majority of Myanmar's gems. The "Valley of Rubies", the mountainous Mogok area, 200 km (120 mi) north of Mandalay, is noted as the original source of ruby including the world's finest "pigeon's blood" rubies as well as the most world's most beautiful sapphires in "royal" blue.

Tell El-Hibeh Limestone: Ancient and Modern Egyptian Quarrying Technology wit...CrimsonPublishersAAOA
Limestone and its interbedded marl deposits form an economic resource that was utilized at El-Hibeh, ancient Teudjoi/Ankyrononpolis, a tell mound in middle Egypt. The archaeological site contains the small Amun temple, at least two limestone (packstone) quarries, statues, sarcophagus lids and bases, limestone (packstone) construction blocks with and without relief, and major mudbrick structures. The temple blocks are made from a local packstone-limestone that has been saturated by Nile River water and is deteriorating at a rapid pace. The limestone at El-Hibeh is a packstone. Several packstone quarries occur in the archaeological site. One appears to be of recent vintage and was mined using modern drilling and blasting techniques. Another is an ancient quarry that utilized natural sedimentary and structural features of the packstone-marl deposits to manufacture blocks for various utilitarian purposes.

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.
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.
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.

Secondary Education of Cyclades
2nd High School of Naxos
12th International Congress of the Geological Society of
Greece
Patras, May 2010
3.
Found in lenticular formation.
Developed through the process of
Corundum
metamorphism of bauxites (Alpine deformation 75.000.000-25.000.000 years ago).
Principal component: Corundum (Αl2Ο3): 5565% (first quality), 50-55% (second quality) and
< 45% (third quality).
Also contains hematite (Fe2O3) and magnetite
(Fe3O4).
Other materials that may be found: micas,
tourmaline, kynite, diaspore, rutile, staurolite,
vesuvianite, pyrite, sillimanite, chlorite,
feldspars, apatite, garnets.
4.
Corundum: the reason of emery’s great
hardness (7 -9 on MOHS scale) and
abrading attributes.
Use of Emery : smoothing of surfaces,
sand blast and as an anti-slipping
material for the construction of roads.
Known since antiquity as “Naxian stone”,
was used for the creation of artefacts
such as the Cycladic statuettes.
Very important factor of Naxos’
prosperity mainly for the first half of the
20th century.
5.
Found mostly on the mountain Ammomaxi, in NE Naxos.
Mining right, since Turkish Domination: a privilege of the
inhabitants of Apeiranthos, Koronos, Danakos, Mesi,
Skado and Keramoti.
Transport of emery down to the port of Moutsouna:
primarily with donkeys.
1929-1978: use of “Enaerios”, an aerial system of
transportation using wire ropes and buckets.
90’s: naxian emery was pushed aside commercially
because of artificial corundum and expansion of the
Turkish emery.
Nowadays: emery mines, mining machinery, piles of the
mineral in Moutsouna are declared preservable by the
Ministry of Culture.
6.
7.
Starting point of the project: geology.
For the understanding of position, creation and
properties of this mineral: contribution of
geography and chemistry.
Elements of ancient and modern technology.
Understanding of the role of Naxian highlanders
in mining and sale of emery: sociology, history.
Group’s research on the spot had an
anthropologic- ethnographic character.
8.
Constructivist learning theory: emphasis on the
active participation of the learner in the procedure
of knowledge :
the starting point of learning is the learner’s pre-existing
knowledge, attitude and interests.
learning arises by the interaction of the above with
experience.
Theory of situated learning: learning is a
multifarious procedure determined by sociocultural parameters:
Knowledge inseparably connected to actions.
Task distribution.
Real world learning tasks as part of a complete project.
9.
To learn about emery in a pleasant and amusing
way.
To learn how to cooperate as a team.
To create pedagogical material concerning the
emery issue, available to other schools – “The
emery educational kit”.
To propose solutions for the sustainable
development of the emery mining regions of
Naxos island.
To inform a broader public, outside Naxos, about
a material that played a significant role in Greek
history.
10.
The team interviewed ex miners.
We visited the geological museum.
We entered a mining gallery and
took part in the mining procedure.
11.
We interviewed ex miners.
We visited an emery station
and a mining gallery in
Stravolagada.
We saw the remnants of the
aerial railway “enaerios”.
12.
We traveled to Athens,
where a specialized
geologist from the
Museum of Mineralogy
and Petrology in the
University of Athens,
initiated us to concepts
like geoconservation
and geotourism.
13.
In the mining park Vagonetto,
in Amfissa, we got acquainted
with the idea of transforming a
deserted mining gallery into a
museum.
14. The “emery educational kit” includes:
An information booklet concerning the
mineral emery.
A puzzle game relative to emery mining.
An educational board game about emery.
A documentary film produced by the team,
entitled “Following the traces of naxian
Emery”.
15.
Method used: division of
a goal in sub goals:
Our topic was divided up in
smaller units given in a
query form.
Each student gathered
information about each
question.
The unification of the
material gathered created
the booklet.
16.
Keeping in mind that learning through
entertainment is more sufficient, the team
constructed the emery game.
17.
The players take the role of emery miners trying to
arrive to the Moutsouna port in order to weigh
amounts of the mineral.
Ways to proceed: a correct answer or a correct
dramatization of an act relative to emery mining.
Obstacles: a holiday, a gardening task, an illness
etc.
The winner is: whoever arrives first at the port
with the greatest amount of emery.
Players, besides learning about the emery mining,
get acquainted with elements of the tradition and
the culture of mountainous Naxos.
18.
Our young cameramen
recorded on film all
their escapades.
We gathered all the
films and, with the help
of a professional
director, we produced a
35 minute documentary
film “Following the
traces of naxian Emery” .
19.
During the realization of the documentary, the
team had the chance to learn all about the phases
involving film producing, camera handling, and
dramatization.
The film production gave the team strong stimulus
and integrated all their actions in a framework of
problem solving and artistic creation.
The shooting of a documentary really helped in the
achievement of learning via experience (learning
by doing).
20.
All the conclusions and the material produced
during the project were presented to the public, in a
special presentation that was organized in the town
hall of Naxos.
21.
The project “Following the traces of Naxian emery”
constitutes an example of application of geodidactics –
through a cross thematic framework – in environmental
education.
A school team became engaged in the creation of a
complete research and artistic work, addressed to the
local society and a broader public.
The students became active creators of a more
meaningful learning.
The project, an example of creative and amusing learning,
has left students and teachers a notable remembrance of
the school year 2007-8.
