This document outlines a reading initiative at a primary school called "My Library is a Travel Agency". The goal is to motivate students to read by tracking the number of books read and equating each book to 5km of travel. Students receive a "Reading Passport" to log their reading destinations. The school aims to collectively travel 40,000km by having students read 8,000 books over the course. A variety of strategies are used to engage students including contests, progress displays, and rewards. Reading progress is assessed through comprehension tests and book summaries.

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.

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.

My library is a travel agency 1. ecis presentation. Alejandra Camacho.
1. My Library is a Travel Agency
A reading project for Primary students
Alejandra Camacho
Teacher Librarian
2. The Importance of Reading
• Reading is essential for the learning
process in Primary.
• Children need to read for intellectual,
emotional and communication skills.
• Reading for pleasure is the key to
academic success. They need to acquire
that habit.
4. “Reading takes us places”
• Through books we can "travel" to
other countries, learn about other
cultures and experience other people's
stories and feelings.
• International mindedness & openminded spirit.
5. “My library…
a real passport to the world”
• Students use a "Reading Passport" to
keep track of the places/books they
have traveled to.
• We offer them a wide range of stories
from different countries and editors, in
different languages, as destinations.
6. MOTIVATE them!
• Our challenge is traveling around
the world: 40.000km.
• 1 book = 5 km
• Our goal: 8.000 books read by all
Primary students during one course.
7. What kind of books?
• Especialy Fiction books.
• Students are free to choose the books
(with the guidance of librarians and
teachers).
• Accelerated Reader informs us of students´
reading level and identifies students that are
reading at a lower level age-wise. This gives us
the opportunity for early intervention.
8. Reading Evidences
1. Reading comprehension tests in the
Accelerated Reader platform.
2. Reading comprehension tests in the
Spanish Ranopla website.
3. Make a SOUVENIR, bring a postcard from
the "journey": a drawing and a summary.
4. Many other writing exercises.
9. Strategies
• “Design a logo for the Travel Agency-Library”
contest.
• The individual continuum in every classroom.
• A display with the number of books read by
cycles and the total number in Primary.
• Rewards! A diploma for every student that
reads the first 10 books and then a pin for
reaching 20, 40, 60...
12. Transdisciplinary Focus
1. We use MATHS to calculate the km, the
distances to different destinations.
2. WRITING and VOCABULARY practice for the
reading comprehensions.
3. GEOGRAPHY to learn about the countries
they are crossing through their big journey.
4. CULTURAL aspects according to the stories
and places they read about.
13. Final ideas
• The more kids read, the better they read and the
more pleasure they get out of reading.
• Very helpful to identify children with reading
difficulties and to engage reluctant readers.
• Great project to put Reading, Writing and Maths
together.
• Individual progress and recognition, not
competition between groups.
