Using iPad apps for science inquiry projects can provide students with engaging ways to research, write, and share information. Some key affordances of iPad apps include interactivity that allows students to both consume and produce knowledge, multimodality which combines different media types, and connectivity through hyperlinking. Effective apps support inquiry-based learning through engaging students in asking questions, gathering evidence, and developing arguments on an issue. Note-taking, annotation, blogging, and mapping apps can be used to support each step of the scientific process.

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.

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.

Annotating "Womanhood," Catherine Anderson
27. “Womanhood,” Catherine
Anderson
She slides over When she enters,
the hot upholstery and the millgate closes,
of her mother's car, final as a slap,
this schoolgirl of fifteen there'll be silence.
who loves humming & swaying She'll see fifteen high windows
with the radio. cemented over to cut out light.
Her entry into womanhood Inside, a constant, deafening noise
will be like all the other girls'— and warm air smelling of oil,
a cigarette and a joke, the shifts continuing on ...
as she strides up with the rest All day she'll guide cloth along a line
to a brick factory of whirring needles, her arms &
where she'll sew rag rugs shoulders
from textile strips of kelly green, rocking back & forth
bright red, aqua. with the machines—
200 porch size rugs behind her
before she can stop
to reach up, like her mother,
and pick the lint
out of her hair.

50. Stephen Downes: Connectivism
learning theory
We need to look at networks, not as physical
systems, but as semantical constructs, where
the organization of links is determined as
much by similarity and salience than by
raw, epistemologically neutral, forces of
nature. Knowledge is a network
phenomenon, to “know” something is to be
organized in a certain way, to exhibit
patterns of connectivity. To “learn” is to
acquire certain patterns. This is as true for a
community as it is for an individual.
54. Uses of mapping for
responding to literature
• Visually portray performances
according to three units of analysis:
o Events
|
o Spaces
|
o Social worlds/systems
57. Pre-post learning assessment:
Maps changing over time
“Students enjoy watching the concept map
grow as we progress through the unit. It is a
perfect place to show how our ideas change.
What they thought they knew at the beginning
of the unit sometimes isn’t exactly true. At the
end of the school year, it was time to erase
our class concept map on the human body.
This was the first time during my six years
that students asked if they could take a
picture of it. I said yes, and before I knew it
about six students took out their cell phones
and started snapping photos. It showed me
that they were proud of their learning.”
59. Ideas for using mind-mapping
apps to support science inquiry

Melinda is the main character in the novel Speak.
63. Students use blogs to hyperlink
Students used personal blogs to write letters from their character in our role-play to a character
in the book we read. This allowed them to use voice and audience in their posting. Students
also were required to hyperlink their suggestions for support and coping strategies to this
character in preparation for a Problem-Solution Essay.
