How to lead your classroom and school into global collaboration as presented by Vicki Davis, cofounder of the award winning Flat Classroom projects which have connected more than 3000 students from over 20 countries in massive collaborations using wikis and video.
Based upon the upcoming book, Collaborative Writing in the Cloud, understand the current research about collaborative writing and how to teach students to truly collaborate on wikis. With less than 2-3% of classroom wikis truly broaching a collaborative experience, learn how to do this with your students.
These slides are the "outline" for a talk given to education undergraduates who are taking an Instructional Technology course and who have questions and doubts about the need to and the possibilities of integrating technology in Lebanese classes

Lightboard Design and Deployment: Creating Pedagocally Embedded Learning Reso...Michael Paskevicius
In 2015, the right combination of factors came together for us to build a Lightboard at Vancouver Island University based on the open hardware specification originally designed at Northwestern University.
The Lightboard provides a familiar whiteboard like environment for faculty to use while creating educational videos. Aside from the novelty, what makes the Lightboard a useful tool and what does it really take to build one?
We’ll share our Centre's history with supporting educational video and explain why and how we built our Lightboard. We'll show you pictures, examples we created with the lightboard and some pedagogically appropriate integrations into teaching and learning experiences.
We’d also like to hear from you. How have you supported educational video on your campus and what other supports for creating video have you used?

Presentation for MELSIGNTU 8 Jan 2016
(and also the summer school of the University de las Islas Baleares - September 2015 http://cursosestiu.uib.cat/13_ueef/ )
Presentation for University conference on student transition from school to HE. This focuses on a first year assignment which takes a scaffolded approach to teach basic research skills.
This will share best practices in using wikis and relate to Common Core standards as teachers learn essential skills. Note that some of this session is an online demo, but bullet points of what is shared is included in the presentation.
WebQuests and wikis provide vehicles for interactive, authentic projects that can become springboards for heightened research resulting in higher critical thought. A WebQuest is a kind of roadmap that takes the explorer on a journey through the many informative components of the World Wide Web. A wiki is like a web page that is always open to collaboration promoting editing and sharing of ideas and knowledge.
Facilitating in and with the Fully Online Learning Community (FOLC) Modelrolandv
Participants will explore how fully online facilitation assists learners in the construction of new
procedural and declarative knowledge.
Concepts discussed will include:
● Constructivism-informed Education Processes
● Reduction of transactional distance
● Collaborative processes
● Principles of PBL Online Facilitation (Savin-Baden, 2007)
Slides for a presentation at MADLaT 2012, Winnipeg, MB on May 4, 2012.
Looks at process and self-study of 2 profs & related focus group held by an M.Ed. student.
In this session, our presentation will focus on the types of technologies we use to deliver content and curriculum in the asynchronous online environment. We will discuss how we use a variety of technological applications such as web conferencing tools, a learning management system, blogs, wikis and other web 2.0 applications to achieve learning goals and objectives in our workshops and courses.
This bite-size session will give awareness of the social tools available in MOLE, including blogs, wikis and discussion boards, and how they can be used to engage your learners. This session is aimed at colleagues new to, or who would like a refresher of, these tools.

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.

21. Students’ reflections…..
1)from their reflective assignments………and
2)from the Survey Monkey evaluation
“we do not learn from experience…we learn from reflecting on
experience’ (John Dewey 1933)
22. Members worked independently on their task; they were able to
[assert] their individuality and competencies of each member became
apparent. The use of technology such as email, telephone, skype and
social networking sites were used to communicate ideas and tasks to
other members of the group. *…+ One member was situated in Australia
for the majority of the group work; I took the role of communicating
with her, keeping her informed of the task and enabling her to
participate .
23. Brooks (2006) argues that technology influences the pattern of a group’s
operations and behaviour. The use of technology was very significant in
completing the presentation. As the aim was to show how a team could
work together virtually, as well as physically, it sometimes proved to be a
hindrance. Some individuals were unable to access the presentation
website, so time was lost explaining how to utilise it. Nevertheless, I viewed
technology as an advantage as I was able to work independently whilst still
allowing the others the option of accessing the work at all times .
24. Using the Facebook forum allowed for us to undertake virtual group work. This
was the first time I had undertaken any group work in this way and this by far
proved the best part of the task for me.
Gibson and Cohen (2003) identify three enabling conditions for virtual teams
to work well:
• Shared Understanding
• Integration
• Mutual trust
25. I feel that once people had settled into their natural roles within the team
and we were working in a cohesive manner we were able to work as a
virtual team effectively.
Working in a virtual team can lead to motivational issues as you do not
have the face to face contact with others that you may need to motivate
yourself.
26. The decision of a remote blog media platform for the task was essential as
it allowed individuals to work flexibly. Knowledge in individual IT skills did
impact on some members achieving agreed outcomes/tasks by set dates. I
enjoyed learning to administrate a Blog, and can see the potential for
rapid information sharing and feedback.
Charting the progress on my own blog was cathartic due to challenges
and frustration of group interaction.
27. The use of email and wiki were the main means I used to communicate
with group members in order to give my input to the presentation.
Riggio and Orr (2004) inform [us]that virtual teams will become
increasingly important in all types of non-profit organisations as these
organisations strive for ways to reduce service delivery cost while
simultaneously enhancing flexibility and response time. On reflection, I
understand the need for me to develop my understanding of virtual teams
as McGregor (2011) reports that video conferencing will be used to greater
effect in the coming years for Social workers for example to attend child
protection conferences .
28. When working in social care it is important to concentrate on the bigger
picture and work collaboratively with others.
[Loughran (2002) believes reflection should] “offer ways of questioning taken-
for-granted assumptions and encouraging one to see his or her practice
through others’ eyes.”
*….+this task has demonstrated having an understanding of people and the
role they play is vital for a successful group effort.
29. I have learnt from this task that even when you believe it may not
work, being positive, and an active listener allows for opportunities
and success; particularly when working as a group
