Paul Tevis explores how empathy – the ability to understand others' needs and ensure that they know that you understand them – is what Charles Duhigg calls a "keystone habit", a behavior change that unlocks other cascading behavior changes. He tries demystify what empathy is and give simple tools to enhance the practice of empathy. Filmed at qconsf.com.

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.

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.

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.
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. • Good and Bad News
• What’s an Op-Ed?
• How can I do this?
• Some ABCs (and an H)
• SDG Op-Ed Challenge
Today’s Agenda:
3. • Professional development is
not always something that you
pick up in a class.
• You are investing in your
degree. You need to invest in
skills as well.
• You will need professional
experiences in addition to your
degree to get noticed.
The Bad News:
4. • Civil Society has an important
role in the Post-2015 agenda, but
we should be modest about its
potential.
• Only 1 in 4 Americans can name the
current UNSG; 2 in 5 didn’t know
enough about him to evaluate his
job performance
• Information deficits are a serious
barrier to collective action and
lobbying
The Bad News:
5. • In the US, even soft forms of
governance like Agenda 21
have been portrayed as
threats to American
sovereignty.
• Some parts of the country
are not going to like the
SDGs. How do we fix this?
More Bad News:
6. • The blogosphere has now
created a huge opportunity for
students to get their writing
out into the world
• It’s imperative that we create
new voices to take part in the
global conversation
• Can’t create the world we
want without better informed
citizens!
• …
The Good News:
7. • Simple writing sample for
employers.
• Helps you practice writing
clearly.
• Helps get your ideas into the
public sphere.
Why do this?
8. • Originally comes from a column
that newspaper editors would
commission. It would run
opposite of the editorial column.
• The editorial column is the
newspaper’s own space.
• But the term does not only apply
to newspapers anymore…
The Term:
9. • Pitch Letter
• “Selling” summary of the
submission
• Tells the editor what you are
writing about and why you are
qualified to write it
• Op-ed
• Actual text of the submission
Two elements in every
submission
10. • A = Argument
• B = Brevity
• C = Current Events
• H = Humility
Some ABCs (and an H)
11. • The “Op” is for OPINION.
• So you need an argument!
• And you need to put it
simply in a sentence.
• “I argue that….”
• Make sure this is in your
pitch letter. Make life easy
for an editor.
A is for ARGUMENT
12. • “We should do something about
Syria/ISIS/Ebola” is NOT a
compelling argument!
• We should create a no-fly zone
and deploy troops to guard new
refugee settlements east of
Damascus IS an argument!
To be clear:
13. • Aim for an informed, but not
expert audience.
• Keep in mind it’s your job to
persuade, and you need to
educate first!
• Need to explain your argument
simply. There is NO SHAME in
this.
On “Voice”
14. • Get to the point. Immediately.
• Review the writer’s guidelines for
the publication. You probably
have 800-1000 words maximum.
• Make certain your argument is in
the FIRST paragraph. Not the
last!
B is for BREVITY:
15. • It had better be about them!
• Think about this broadly:
• How much has been
written on the 100th
anniversary of WWI?
• Think about an “angle:”
• What hasn’t been said
about Ebola?
C is for Current Events:
16. • Remember that you are
learning to do this.
• Accept rejection gracefully.
• Editors will make edits. Learn
from them.
• Follow the rules about
multiple submissions.
H is for Humility:
17. • Use the pitch letter to SELL your
argument.
• Think about your target
publications CAREFULLY!
• Read the submission guidelines.
• Read other columns/posts in the
publication.
• Read this good overview:
http://www.foreignpolicy.com/ar
ticles/writers_guidelines
Things to do
18. • Writing an op-ed about the SDGs
can be a bit of a challenge.
• A simple idea is to structure the op-
ed around 5 key points.
• Washington Post 5 Myths Column
• Edwards US-UN column
• Edwards and Kotlow 2015 UN Preview
column
• You could use the theme “Five
reasons why the SDGs are
important”
So How Can I Do This?
19. • Allows you to organize your
thoughts
• Makes sure that you have an
argument (“I argue that…”)
• Allows you to address potential
objections
• Also keeps the total document
short!
Why does 5 points
work?
20. • The rationale for us having this
event was simple:
• These goals matter
• We need to tell everyone about
them!
• How many people would learn
about the goals if 20 students
in this room published op-eds
in their home town
newspapers?
SDG Op-Ed Challenge
21. • The next step is up to YOU.
• Start thinking and start writing!
• If you want to talk about your op-
ed, please feel free to email me!
• Email me your successes. I’ll
report back this time next year
on how we did!

• Or these examples from Diplo
grad students:

anizations.wordpress.com/
For more advice
23. • You could focus on the UN at 70:
“Five ways the UN has made a
difference”
• Regardless, the challenge for us
is to use our knowledge
effectively to make complicated
things seem more simple.
• It’s time to go to work!
