ACTFL08 Presentation: Online mapping tools build on the popularity of sites such as MapQuest, allowing users to create customizable online maps connecting real-world topography with the history, culture, economy and literature of specific locales.
This was a magazine piece published in November, 2010, in Arkansas Life. It is an excerpt from a work in progress, a memoir called "Picking the Bones." In Round Yellow Table, I describe the ritual and sustenance that came from my mother's cooking, and our family coming together circled up on our round yellow table.
"Brent took Mother’s recipe box with her handwritten cards when he moved to New York. When that wasn’t enough of her oeuvre, he often called her for other recipes. He wowed his guests with big Southern dinners."
This book tells of the beauty of eastern Crete, of the Prefecture of Lasithi, with its mountain ranges, vast plateaus, fertile valleys, arid plains, magnificent beaches and its ancient memories. To discover the authentic Crete one must travel slowly, drawn by curiosity not only to the great archaeological sites and monuments, but also to the landscape and the sky, the houses and the rocks, because on Crete everything is myth, legend and history: the mountains, the grottoes, the gorges, the trees, the stones and even the scent of the shrubs in bloom.
Enterprise CADENCE - Sustaining Agility within your organizationIlio Krumins-Beens
Enterprise-wide Agile transformations start with enthusiasm and dedication, and yet most transformations fail within one year from the start of the Agile rollout. We introduce a framework for sustaining and enhancing success of your Agile rollout, which we define in an acronym, CADENCE, which stands for C – coaching, A – assistance, D – development, E – engagement, N – networking, C – collaborative culture, and E – evaluate.
In our presentation, we provide practical advice on how we made Agile CADENCE work for us in enhancing our Agile transformation, and suggest specific ways of making your Agile rollout successful on enterprise level.

In this experience report, we present the lessons we have learned during a three years-long journey coaching more than 50 teams in using the Kanban method at Sandvik IT. We share our experience gathered when introducing, supporting and scaling Kanban systems with the purpose to improve the organization as a whole. Based on validated experiments and facts, we present:
- How we use the Kanban method to create a culture of continuous improvements.
- How we introduce Kanban to often overburdened teams using a one-day kick-start workshop, and how this workshop evolved into what is described in the “The Kanban Kick-start Field Guide”.
- How we help teams to improve their kanban system using a depth-of-kanban coaching tool.
- How we discovered the key role that management plays in maintaining the will to improve continuously, and our experiments on how to nurture it.
- How we keep track of the improvement capability of the various teams and how we act on it.
- How we scale our coaching capability to help even more teams.
This talk is a direct continuation of our LKCE11 talk “Igniting Change in 20 teams within 6 months”.
Introduces Google Docs and Google Sites as tools for congregations - and small groups and committees within congregations - to accomplish goals and maintain momentum between meetings by working together online. By maintaining momentum, we can be that much more effective in building the beloved community.
Overview Web2.0 Tools For Collaborative LearningDavid Brooks
A presentation given at the EuroCALL 2009 Conference at the UPV Gandia Campus of the Universidad Polytechnica Valencia, Spain, held on Sept 9-12, 2009, session by David L. Brooks, Associate Professor, English as a Foreign Language, Kitasato University, Sagamihara, Japan

Review and discuss the basic agile practices in the context of two games. The first game will illustrate why small batches are important and how they can help you address project risks sooner. The second game will illustrate how small batches can help give you better information about your project sooner and will demonstrate some of the basic agile practices at work like iterations, continuous flow, manage to done, velocity, retrospectives, etc.
User Story Mapping: Konsten att dela upp kravbilden på "rätt" sättChristophe Achouiantz
Att bryta ner kravbilden på rätt sätt är nyckeln till att leverera rätt sak snabbt. Andra faktorer som utvecklingsmetoden eller kapacitet hos medarbetaren spelar roll, men utan en meningsfull uppdelning av kraven är det svårt att lyckas.
Tillsammans tittar vi på en metod för att enkelt dela upp en föränderlig kravbild i små, meningsfulla och kompletta byggstenar (inkrement). Inspirerad av Jeff Patton’s ”User Story Mapping”, metoden syftar att - så snabbt som möjligt - ta fram en fungerande, grov, version av systemet och bygga vidare på den. Med andra ord, att tillämpa ett iterativ och inkrementellt arbetssätt. Nyckeln att dela upp kraven på “rätt” sätt är att låta utvecklingens begränsningar (key contraints) guida uppdelningen. Tillsammans tittar vi - på ett konkret sätt - hur metoden fungerar med verkligt exempel där metoden har använts med framgång.

Empowering Beginning Language Teachers Through Global Communities of PracticeBarbara Lindsey
Since 2007 a blended course (face-to-face and online) at the University of Connecticut offers beginning language educators the opportunity to explore, apply and evaluate online social networks for language, culture and civilization courses within a framework that capitalizes on collaborative, supportive engagement with peers within, across and beyond institutional boundaries. This presentation highlight the creative-commons licensed course components and open educational resources and explores how others can adapt them for use in their own teaching and learning communities.
Preparing Our Educators to Learn and Teach in Global Communities of PracticeBarbara Lindsey
A presentation for the free, online 2011 Global Education Conference by co-presenters Barbara Lindsey, Melina Masterson, Claudio Pinna and Carsten Witt
Strengthening Language Learning Through Web-Based UDI PrinciplesBarbara Lindsey
Universal Design for Instruction (UDI) can guide educators in the design of inclusive instructional strategies that support our diverse student population while maintaining academic rigor. Participants will apply UDI principles to evaluate free, easy-to-use web-based tools that support our diverse language learners both inside and outside the classroom. Participants will learn how the use of these tools can help our students become independent, life-long language learners.
Learn how language programs can take advantage of the many free, open access global collaboratives and educational resources to give all our teachers and students the ability to work with rich, authentic content, to support interactive global connections, to foster international perspectives and to prepare our students to live, learn and work in our globally-connected world.
Sustaining & Expanding Our CT World Language ProgramsBarbara Lindsey
Barack Obama's election is a powerful example of effective, grassroots, community-based campaigning. As language educators, language advocacy is our campaign but many of us don't know what to do. In this session participants will understand what language advocacy is, the importance of ongoing efforts for sustaining and expanding language programs and how to take advantage of various low-tech and high-tech community-building initiatives to promote, protect and preserve our language programs.
A presentation given during the fall 2009 meeting of the National Association of District Supervisors of Foreign Languages. My presentation described the ways in which open source learning opportunities can engage our students in authentic, meaningful learning environments.
This is the slightly expanded version of a session I recently did in Elluminate via LearnCentral with the students in our course, BeyondWebCT: Integrating Social Networking Tools Into Language & Culture Courses. Kevin Gaugler of Marist College was our guest speaker.
This was the focus of the session:
How can educators filter and manage the abundant resources and information now available through the internet? In the spirit of collaboration and community building, many educators are turning to these mediated environments to learn with and from each other. In this session we'll explore some tools that can help us manage content of interest to us and that can provide our students and us the option of learning with and from those outside the traditional course environment.
Social Networking for the Foreign Language ClassroomBarbara Lindsey
This gives a brief overview of what, why and how we can use digitally-mediated social networking for language learning. This complements a companion wiki found at http://socialnetworking4languagelearning.wikispaces.com/
A short presentation on how online personal learning networks can enrich face-to-face exchanges (e.g., departmental, district, conference PDs) and expand opportunities for collaborative professional development.
This presentation explores how we can use communicative, collaborative, interactive web environments to advance our students linguistic and intercultural skills.
Creating Cross Campus Language Learning CommunitiesBarbara Lindsey
How do we provide equitable language learning opportunities for all students? A recent university initiative combines synchronous video conferencing with web-based social networking tools to create a community-based learning environment for language learners separated by geographical distance. This NECTFL session will provide the rationale, rubrics, assessments and learning outcomes for students in our Chinese and Italian blended learning courses and is applicable for all languages
This session will provide participants with an overview of several popular social networking sites, how they work, and how we can harness their popularity to engage all language learners, reinforce the 5 Cs and help prepare students for life in a global, teamwork-oriented world.
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.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
