Maidan Summit 2011 - Harpreet Singh, Special Olympics Bharat (I)Maidan.in
Mr Harpreet Singh emphasised on the issue of intellectual disability in his presentation at Maidan Summit 2011. Highlighting the scale of Special Olympics Bharat, the second largest Special Olympics programme in the world which reaches out to all 600 districts in India, he shared that Special Olympics is perhaps the biggest movement that inclusively engages men and women through sport. He further added that these sport activities do not encourage physical contact and rely on equal opportunities.
He supported the view that sport programmes are a great adhesive, and help connect people. Sharing his experience with sport at the Special Olympics, he detailed out the power of sports as a tool to build up greater respect, acceptance, inclusion and human dignity.

Prevención de riesgos y Primeros AuxiliosKirolXabi
El objetivo principal es que los alumnos/as adquieran los hábitos saludables para que sean utilizados de forma autónoma toda su vida y puedan llegar a tener una vejez saludable. Pero, la actividad física conlleva riesgos que debemos aprender a minimizar. La Educación Física debe educar en la prevención de riesgos, la realización correcta de ejercicios y en la higiene postural. Pero a pesar de todas las medidas preventivas debemos saber actuar cuando ocurre un accidente. Para eso aprenderemos protocolos de actuación.
La Educación Física tradicional práctica mayoritariamente en sus clases deportes colectivos, un tanto alejada de los intereses femeninos. En este sentido debemos compensar este desequilibrio y fomentar la coeducación.
El baile es una forma estupenda de disfrutar de la actividad física con los demás y puede ser practicada hasta la vejez.
El baile y las canciones de moda son un centro de interés muy importante para nuestro alumnado y ocupa un lugar muy importante en su ocio y relación social.
Las nuevas formas de juego (Wii, Xbox 360 Kinetic...) han incorporado el baile a sus juegos digitales. Este trabajo ha sido inspirado basándose en estas nuevas formas de práctica de actividad física.
El objetivo de la Educación Física es la adquisición de hábitos saludables. Entre esos hábitos están los ha´mitos alimentarios. Los/as alumnos/as realizan un registro durante una semana sobre el número de raciones por grupo alimenticio que comen a diario.
Comparan los datos obtenidos con los de referencia.
Sacan conclusiones sobre los propios hábitos alimentarios para convertirlos en saludables.
Este trabajo se realiza con una hoja de cálculo creada en drive y compartida a través de classroom.

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.
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.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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.

• Believed to have Ancient Greek
origins, Boccia is a tough test of
nerve, tactics and skill. Played on
a rectangular court by individuals,
pairs and teams, the sport offers
both tension and excitement, as
athletes aim to land balls close to
a target ball, across a series of
demanding ends. The sport is
similar to boules or petanque.
8. CYCLING ROAD
• Road Cycling was introduced as a • There are four types of cycles used in

and one at the front.
• – A tricycle is normally used by
athletes whose balance would make
them unable to race on a two-
wheeled bicycle.
• – A bicycle is used by all other
athletes, often with modifications.
9. CYCLING TRACK
• The first Track Cycling races at the Paralympic • There are four classes for competition:

Games. - B – athletes with a visual impairment who
compete on a tandem with a sighted pilot on
the front
- H1–H4 – athletes with an impairment that
affects their legs and so compete using a
handcycle
- T1–T2 – athletes with an impairment that
affects their balance and so compete using a
tricycle
- C1–C5 – athletes with an impairment that
affects their legs, arms and/or trunk but
compete using a standard bicycle
• In the H, T and C classes, the lower the
athlete’s class number, the greater the
impact of their impairment on their ability to
cycle. So for example a C1 cyclist will have an
impairment that has more of an impact on
their ability to cycle than a C5 cyclist.

has the greatest impact on their ability to
ride; through to Grade IV, which is for
athletes whose impairment has the least
impact on their ability to ride.
