By the time hurricane season starts this year, it will have been nearly a decade since the last hurricane has directly impacted Florida. Meanwhile, our population and real estate development has boomed, with over a million new residents that are inexperienced with preparing for and surviving tropical storms. With each successive major disaster around the world, we have witnessed the public’s widespread adoption of smartphones and of social media technologies to obtain information during emergencies and to share text, pictures, video of the disaster. This explosion in use of social media presents many challenges for emergency managers, who are wholly unprepared to monitor and respond to digital pleas for help and who are unable to effectively spread official disaster messages through social media platforms. When integrated with traditional channels, social media increases the situational awareness of emergency responders, which allows for better decision-making, planning and resource allocation.

(PART 2 OF 2) Off - Campus Practice Teaching PortfolioErwin Manzon
My cooperating teacher, Mr. Aldrin C. Abalos became my mentor for almost two months. He really guides me and lets me experience the actual teaching-learning settings. I had many learnings acquired from him, especially in enhancing my teaching strategies and demonstrations, how to handle students with different personalities, what relationship should we possess to our students and I learned a real life task which I will have to know how to perform in a sooner future when I start teaching.
I really enjoyed teaching and practicing my profession in my cooperating school because teachers, faculty and staff welcomed and accepted us wholeheartedly, especially to our cooperating teachers. Coliling National High School has a standard education. Most teachers of Coliling National High School are truly great and dedicated teachers, teachers whom I find very inspiring. They are always there to guide and mentor us student teachers in terms of difficulties. They always give their time, patience, kindness and most of all their help and support.
This day, I fully realized that I am really meant for teaching profession because of the unforgettable experiences that I had encountered during the field study courses, especially the actual teaching experiences. I am thankful to be a teacher. The simplest answer to the question “Why?” is because I love it. I love it because it helps me to grow as a human being. It has created meaning in my life. Indeed, it is a daily realization. It is not easy. It is hard, disappointing, frustrating, and ultimately, powerful to make a difference in the life of my students.

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.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.

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.

Overview on Edible Vaccine: Pros & Cons with Mechanism
Min Min's Story
1. Min Min, 6, lives in a village surrounded by rice fields and huge trees, his home was destroyed when Cyclone Nagris tore through Myanmar in May this year. It is hard for us to imagine the strength of a cyclone, one which can obliterate houses and uproot trees but Min Min doesn't have to imagine. He can remember what it felt like to run from its power. Now three months on we return to Min Mi, while his family are still struggling to cope, we can see how returning to school is helping Min Min overcome the experience of the storm
2. The Night of the Cyclone "When the cyclone hit, we ran off to an old barn, I was very scared," Min Min recalls, "We had no idea this was going to happen. And when the cyclone came, we thought it was only going to last for a few hours. But it lasted all night." “I was with my mother when it happened, and we just ran. We were not even thinking," he says. They took shelter in the barn which is right next to Min Min's house so luckily his family was safe.
3. The extent of the damage "Our house was completely destroyed", Min Min's mother says. The family was afraid of another cyclone, so they did not want to start building a new house right away. After some days the family started building a new place out of bamboo and this is where they live now. They were able to use some of the wood and the building material from the old house, so now they have their own place to sleep.
4. Obstacles to education His mother explains that Cyclone Nargis has put a lot of obstacles in front of them. “We also lost one of our cows, we have had to rebuild our house and my husband earns less with only one cow to work on the paddy field”. As families struggle to cope we have found that some have to make difficult choices. Children are being taken out of school as families cannot afford the cost of school equipment, travel and uniforms and some families have to send their children to work to make ends meet. Despite the struggles that they are facing Min Min’s parents are very keen for him to stay at school. But even getting to school is difficult. Min Min and his friends make their way across the flooded land as they make their way to school.
5. Disasters can destroy the possibility of learning The education of children, like Min Min has been badly affected by the cyclone. More than 4000 schools were damaged or destroyed. In emergency situations, education is frequently found to be interrupted, delayed or even denied. School systems, which often provide a focal point for communities, are also often destroyed, with schools converted to use for camps, barracks or living quarters.
6. Returning to learning Min Min's school also felt the force of Cylone Nagris and is still too dangerous for students to go near. Teachers and students stand in the ruins of what used to Min Min’s old school. Save the Children is providing a safe and secure learning environments for children in the months after the storm. Min Min was able to attend his 2nd grade class, in a temporary school that has recently been built by Save the Children. This temporary school is both a safe and secure.
7. Save the Children, providing a safe and secure learning environment The temporary school was finished by the 1st of June 2008 and stands proud next to the shell of the old school. It is constructed from bamboo and plastic sheeting, making it nice and shady inside. At the moment there are 94 children attending the school run by two teachers and one headmaster. We are very happy with this temporary school", one of the teachers explains. "The old school is completely ruined and this is a community that really values education, so it is important for them, that their children can go to school here."
8. Child Friendly Spaces The temporary schools also turn into child friendly spaces after the school day is over. Here, they can continue to play with their friends in a safe environment where they are supported to overcome the negative emotional impact of the cyclone. It also gives parents time to work so that they can get back on their feet.
9. Education can help children recover from disasters It is essential that we help children like Min Min, return to education. Educating children can save lives. Temporary schools, like the one provided for Min Min, offer safe spaces for the continuation of learning, as well as the opportunity to identify, monitor and provide support for children severely affected in a disaster. A school environment is the ideal place to provide the knowledge and skills to survive in the wake of a crisis through the dissemination of lifesaving information and the promotion of healthy practices.
10. Save the Children works to enable education in emergencies Save the Children has helped over 51,000 students return to education. 70 schools have been repaired and we have built 183 temporary schools so that children can still attend classes. We are also providing student kits including exercise books, pens and pencils and other essential school kits such as blackboards. We have also re-trained 1,178 teachers and volunteers.
11. School kits and materials A teacher unpacks chalk and other supplies that have delivered by Save the Children as part of a teaching pack for use at school. By supplying the schools with school kits and materials, as well as temporary structures, teachers are able to return to work and continue to teach their children ensuring that educational opportunities are not lost for these students. The teacher comments, “For children Min Min's age, education is one of the most important things. In the aftermath of a disaster, education can create them a safe and happy environment. Children here learn new things, play and are happy.”
12. Hope for the future Nargis was a traumatic experience for both children and adults. Although Min Min is still afraid of strong winds and storms, his mother explains, “Playing and studying at school has helped him reduce his fears. I want him to go to university in the future and every single penny we make is now for his education. I am worried that we will not be able to support Min Min get an advanced education in the future. But we will not give up our desire of giving him an education”. "I like everything about school", Min Min says. "I like to read and to play with my friends. I like studying mathematics at school and I want to be a doctor when I grow up ”.
