The document discusses what it means to live, learn, and teach in the 21st century. It states that as "digital immigrants" people must work with "digital natives" and review past technologies to create an equitable society. It also says learning is now a lifelong process that happens both in and out of school through collaboration between different generations. Finally, it argues that teaching must integrate technology, shift to being student-centered, and implement differentiated instruction using students' available resources in order to prepare them for the future.

A way of looking at all of education and learning to promote discussion about the relationship between informal, non-formal & formal learning ahead of EU i2015. Can help thinking about; business models of institutions, the social processes of learning, learning resource design, OER co-creation of learning processes
Keynote presentation - with a challenge - for the Upper Hutt Cluster of schools - 31 January, 2020. How can we work to ensure our school programme for 2020 is truly 'future focused'?
Our role as educators has never been more critical, as the world will change in ways which could hardly be expected. One school district in Ontario, PEEL District School Board, has created an approach to the 21st Century. It seems to have a good handle in identifying critical competencies which we find are also linked to Islam.
Learning for the 22nd century while Teaching in the 21st centuryNehaNaayar
“21st -century skills” is a catchphrase across the academic world. A global benchmark in the academics, the curriculum documents, the summaries, and reports. Every school policy and government reform in education strives for achieving the targets set for 2030 decided by all the member countries during the UNESCO World Declaration under “Sustainable Development Goals” in 2015 Incheon.
The four-fold skills i.e., critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity are lexical around which all dialogues across subjects from schooling to higher education are mostly organized. Out of the box thinking, teamwork, people skills, & strong critical and analytical skills can be considered as the basic matrix of successful education.

La validazione dei consumi energetici nella Pubblica Amministrazione RTC SPA
RTC propone una soluzione EDM (Energy Data Management) denominata “Emerald” pensata per dare supporto agli Energy Manager ed ai responsabili acquisti di aziende pubbliche nella gestione dell’approvvigionamento energetico, nella selezione di contratti e nel controllo della corretta esecuzione degli stessi. La soluzione è una piattaforma software che provvede alla validazione degli importi fatturati per i consumi energetici sia per controllarne la coerenza di spesa sia per verificare che gli oneri aggiuntivi vengano correttamente calcolati. Un sistema di validazione completo e strutturato è la base per gestire un budget previsionale di competenza. La soluzione è stata pensata per realtà con consumi multi-localizzati come centrale di monitoraggio e controllo della validità contrattuale.
Teaching and learning in the 21st Century is an attempt at postulating the needs of both Educators and learners suitable for achieving learning outcomes of the 21st century. The presentation throws more light on the future of teaching and learning now that technology has entered into our classrooms. This sets the stage for the incorporation of digital literacies into our daily teaching life as practitioners.
Education is the systematic process of acquiring knowledge, skills, values, and attitudes that empower individuals to navigate the complexities of life. It involves formal instruction, experiential learning, and the development of critical thinking abilities. Education spans various stages, from early childhood to adulthood, and encompasses a diverse range of subjects and disciplines. It plays a pivotal role in shaping individuals' intellectual, social, and emotional growth, fostering a foundation for personal fulfillment, societal progress, and the advancement of knowledge. Ultimately, education is a lifelong journey that empowers individuals to contribute meaningfully to their communities and the global landscape.
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.
How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
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.

past
3. What does it mean to live in the
twenty-first century?
• In order to live in the twenty-first century as
“digital immigrants” Larry Cuban stated one
must “unlearn in order to learn.” “Digital
immigrants” must work with “digital natives” in
order to succeed and sustain for a better future.
Together we must review past technologies and
understand why and how we use technology
today in order to create a more equitable and
social society.
4. What does it mean to live in the
twenty-first century?
• According to Collins & Halverson, we are
currently living in the “Knowledge Revolution
that is driven by a new set of computer tools that
empower people’s minds rather than their
bodies” (p. 10). Technology has evolved over
time to make tasks easier and faster for people to
accomplish and share with others. “No one will
be able to solve complex problems or think
effectively in the coming world without using
digital technologies” (p.11).
5. What does it mean to live in the
twenty-first century?
• According to Facer, we take socio-technical
practices for granted. “These practices then
become part of wider socio-technical systems to
which we become accustomed and in time, come
to depend upon” (p.44). Living in the twenty-
first century allows people to augment or
enhance their being in order to sustain their role
in the socio-technological world.
6. What does it mean to learn in the

7. What does it mean to learn in the
twenty-first century?
• Facer states, “…we need to remember that the
future is not set in stone, that technology is not
some magical force driving us down one
inevitable path, and that education is also a force
to be reckoned with when it comes to shaping
progressive futures” (p.10). There are multiple
ways in which learning can happen besides
opening up a textbook at school.
8. What does it mean to learn in the
twenty-first century?
• We live in the age of “digital natives” and “digital
immigrants” where we need to rethink what it
means to learn in the twenty-first century and
beyond. Facer discusses the importance of
“intergenerational learning environments”
where learning is collaborative between
educators, parents, grandparents and children.
It is important that all generations work together
to have a better future than past generations.
9. What does it mean to learn in the
twenty-first century?
• Collins and Halverson goes along with Facer by
stating, “In general, as education becomes a
lifelong activity, there are likely to be more
situations where adults and children are
learning together” (p.102). They discuss a
mixed-age culture where learning does not just
happen in school but also with parents, other
adults, peers, mentors and within the media
environment. Learning does not just happen in
schooling years, but it is a lifelong journey.
10. What does it mean to learn in the
twenty-first century?
• I believe in the pedagogy of lifelong learning that
provides people with choices. Collins and
Halverson state, “When learners select programs
of study based on their interests, then the values
that guide learners interest become integrated
into the education experience” (p.96). If people
value what they are doing they will take
ownership over it. I believe lifelong learning will
allow people to take back their responsibility for
learning and only blame themselves if they do
not succeed.
11. What does it mean to learn in the
twenty-first century?
• Technology gives students
choice in their learning and
provides support in areas of
need. According to Collins and
Halverson, “So learning how to
learn and learning how to find
useful resources are becoming
the most important goals of
education” (p.95).
There are many ways to learn in the
21st Century:
▫ Just-in-time learning
▫ Customization
▫ Home Schooling
▫ Games and Simulations
▫ Multimedia
▫ MUSE
▫ Workplace Learning
▫ Distance Education
▫ Adult Education
▫ Learning Centers
▫ Educational Television and Videos
▫ Computer-Based Learning
Software
▫ Technical Certifications
▫ Internet Cafés
12. What does it mean to learn in the
twenty-first century?
• There are multiple ways to learn in the twenty-
first century to meet everyone’s learning style
and schedule. No matter how one chooses to
learn in the twenty-first century, Facer believes
that our students must develop and learn three
attributes: “discernment, multiliteracy and
responsibility” (p.70). By learning these three
attributes, “..it would to begin to equip our
students to participate in society’s conversation
about that future” (p.71).
13. What does it mean to teach in the

14. What does it mean to teach in the
twenty-first century?
• Technology is the next natural solution to our
universal schooling today. As Collins and
Halverson stated, “Schools are expected to
prepare students for a different world and public
policies hold schools accountable for making
progress” (p.62). Since our goals are to meet the
needs of our 21st century lifelong learners and be
accountable for making progress, teachers must
implement technology to reach both goals.
15. What does it mean to teach in the
twenty-first century?
• Technology should be implemented into the
classroom on a daily basis. There should be a variety
of different “interactive learning environments”
used such as computer tutorial programs, just-in-
time learning activities, multimedia projects,
customization, learner control, interaction, games
and simulations, publications and reflection in order
to enhance student achievement. “Something about
education will have to change” (p.65). I think it is up
to us as teachers to make that change and when we
do those changes share it with other to make a
global change.
16. What does it mean to teach in the
twenty-first century?
• Larry Cuban discussed in his blog about student-
centered teaching using technology. In education we
need to shift from teacher-centered to student-centered
teaching. Cuban stated to me in his response, “The point
I would make is that the devices in of themselves do not
increase or decrease student-centered teaching. It is the
set of beliefs that are in teachers’ heads about students,
teaching, learning, and the school setting that shape
what approaches teachers take in their lessons. The
devices are a means toward the ends that teachers seek.”
So to teach in the twenty-first century is to meet the
needs of every student we teach using resources they are
accustom to in order to maximize their potential learning
growth.
17. High Quality Curriculum and
Assessments in the Age of Technology
Twenty-first Century Curriculum must be:
• Relevant
• Focused
• Engaging
• Rigorous
• Scaffolded
using
Competency-based learning assessments
18. What does it mean to teach in the
twenty-first century?
• Facer states that we need to provide our students
with “educational encounters.” “In so doing,
educational encounters are oriented towards
understanding the actors and networks that are
already or potentially available as resources to draw
upon-the data the child has access to, the peers the
students regularly talks with, the experiences they
have had, the tools that are available, the specialist
communities they have been participating in” (p.
55). So if we add Differentiated Instruction created
by Carol Ann Tomlinson with Facer’s educational
encounters and resource mapping, we will be able to
meet the needs of every child individually.
19. Differentiated Instruction
Is a teacher’s response to learner’s needs using a student’s resource map

flexible grouping
ongoing assessment
and adjustment

20. In Conclusion…
• We must review living, rethink learning and
rewrite teaching in the twenty-first century in
order to create learning futures that will sustain
in a socio-technological world. We need to come
together as a community of learners in order for
“future schools” to exist.
