have fun using these activities I got from the web and this is my first word document send to slideshare. Hope you have fun and don't forget to give this a like!
When it comes to planetarium shows, “questions and answers” is our absolutely favourite time. But last week one primary school visitors took Q&A to the next level. They came to their Wonderdome Astronomy lesson with questions already prepared and written down! More questions came up during the show, so some of the prepared questions we didn’t have time to go through. There was only one thing we could do!
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.
2. A constellation is a group of stars than appear to be together but are not. They seem to form a picture in the sky. People use them to find their way around the sky like someone using objects to get from place to place.
3. Orion the hunter The constellation looks flat but all the stars are at different distances from us.
4. Leo the Lion Cygnus the Swan Can you see the drawing ?
6. The Zodiac is a special group of constellations that extend out from Earth’s equator.
7. Astronomers want to know how far away stars are! From here on earth, they all look the same distance. In fact, ancient people thought they were all “stuck” on a glass sphere.
8. To measure the distances in space, astronomers use a light year. A light year is the DISTANCE light travels in one year. One light year is equal to a little under 6 trillion miles! (6,000,000,000,000) Proxima Centauri is the closest star to our solar system. It is about 4 light years away. Going the speed of light it would take us 4 years to get there. Traveling as fast as the average spaceship, it would take between 70,000 and 100,000 years to get there! Video clip on a light year
11. Star color Determined by surface temperature. Hottest are blue – coolest are red. Video clip on star colors
12. Absolute and apparent magnitude Absolute magnitude is how much light is actually given off by a star. Apparent magnitude is how bright a star appears to be due to how close or far away it is.
13. Two astronomers discovered a relationship between the absolute magnitude (real brightness) of a star and its surface temperature . They plotted the data on a graph. Ejnar Hertzsprung Denmark Henry Russell USA
14. So what does this show? Stars seemed to naturally group together
15. They discovered that stars grouped by type and during their lifetimes would move from one place on the graph to another. As our sun ages, it will move to a giant star to a white dwarf.
16. Life cycle of a star When a star forms it begins its “life.” When a star runs out of fuel, it dies. So a star has a life similar to a battery that cannot be recharged. When the battery runs out of energy, it is finished. Our sun will run out of energy and it will be finished too. But this will not happen for another 5 billion years! Video clip of life cycle of stars

18. This diagram follows the life of both large and average stars. Video clip about neutron stars and black holes.
23. Notice the individual stars in the picture. They are not part of the galaxy in the picture but part of our own Milky Way Galaxy.
24. So why are they in the pictures? If you look out a window with wood trim, it is hard to get a view without them in the way. These stars are in our view as we are looking out of our galaxy!
27. Our Milky Way Galaxy is a spiral galaxy. We think! This is not really a picture of our galaxy – just one that looks like what we think our galaxy is like!
28. Why not? If you were inside Lanier Middle and had never been out of the building your entire life, would you be able to know what the school looked like from a distance? Of course not. All you could do is look out the windows and get some view of part of the building. If you looked out enough windows you might get a general idea but you could never know for sure if you were right about all its features.
29. Top view Side view Video clip on our location in the galaxy
30. Milky Way using a “fish eye” lens Notice the comet In the night sky, a band of stars can be seen across the sky as a blurry image. When you see this, you are looking into the part of the galaxy with more stars. Our view of the Milky Way
31. Every star we see in the night sky is in our own galaxy. We cannot see stars in other galaxies because they are too far away. The Milky Way is estimated to have 200 billion stars.
32. Nebulas are often named by what they look like! Witch head nebula Veil nebula Horse head nebula They provide the material for new stars to form.
34. Current estimate of the age of the universe is 13.7 billion years. The solar system is 4.6 billion years old. The solar system is not the same age as the entire universe .
