PIcture Perfect. Presentation for MOREnet conference #2013M3 Oct 14, 2013Startland News
Presentation for MOREnet conference on Oct 14, 2013.
*Be a CREATOR and Storyteller. Take, edit, and share YOUR pictures and stories!*
My kickoff: 1. WE have the tools and social networks to CREATE and connect/share our stories with others. 2. Our brains are set up largely to process visuals over text.
So, why are we as educators largely consumers of media and why do we still rely mainly on text in education?
Time to SHIFT.
SHIFT to visual thinking and sharing of our stories. We can spread the POSITIVE stories in education and help other educators and kids.
Before educators can encourage kids to do the same, it's best if they have DONE it themselves!
Our focus was educator learning, doing, creating, and sharing.
Our goal was to take pictures, edit them with different apps, and then share them to a group page on my Flickr account--via my Flickr email. Every person on Flickr gets an email address to use for emailing pictures.
Many educators in the session had not edited pictures and said they rarely took pictures and told the stories of their edu-journeys with kids!
By the end of the session, we enjoyed seeing the pictures of our conference PHOTWALK pop up on my Flickr page. One person used WordFoto and many of us liked it so much, we bought it, too. :)
I showed my blog, Instagram, Twitter media stream, and Flickr account to show examples of the power of telling stories.
Check out the educational uses of YouTube and other video streaming available on the web. Find out how to use ZamZar to download video to avoid firewall problems in schools.
Slides in support of a professional learning day for administrators in Hanover School Division focused on answering the question: What is Inquiry Learning?

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.

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.

Editor's Notes
Following an assignment, reading, field trip, unit, etc…teachers want to check for understanding, so students are required to write a paper on what they learned. While it is beneficial for students to write a paper, and possibly back it up with research, there are tools available where students can show their understanding other than a typed paper. I am going to show you four tools and provide some curriculum ideas.
My name is Julee Donnell. I have two kids who are 17 and 19, and I have assisted them with their papers many times through the years. I have been teaching Special Education for 20 years. I work with the Intellectually Disabled (ID) population, and they are unable to generate thoughts into a written format. They love having school work, they love projects, and they love working on the computer. I have used these tools with them. I am currently taking classes at ODU for Library Science, and I am planning on switching careers to be a school librarian. I am looking forward to having the ability to use these tools with a variety of teachers in a variety of subjects.
