Permaculture in the Arava desert in Israel. Basic soil, water, and waste solutions, natural building, creative recycling, the green apprenticeship at kibbutz Lotan, ecovillage design, and alternative desert technology.
A look inot the histroy of Permaculture adn its roots. Then a look into the state of the world very briefly. Following that an examination of each of the principles laid out by Bill Mollison in the book Introduction to Permaculture. Finally ending with a few pictures that provide looks into Permaculture Management techniques reflecting these design principles.
The group incorporated what they learned from the La’akea organic farm into their project. Such as pulling weeds, planting, and gardening. Later, they connected their project to the course themes of sustainability, communication, and culture.

Reading Assignment
Chapter 5:
Life in the Greenhouse: Photosynthesis and Global Warming
Chapter 23:
Feeding the World: Plant Structure and Growth
Chapter 24:
Growing a Green Thumb: Plant Physiology
Unit Lesson
This unit includes information from Chapters 5, 23, and 24. The materials in these chapters will help you
understand the important relationship between plants and the survival of the human race. You will learn what
plants need in order to grow and about agricultural practices that provide food to humans. In addition, you will
learn about the various plant structures and their functions. You will also learn about the future of agriculture.
We know that past and present agricultural practices have caused damage to the environment. How can we
reduce this damage, or can we?
At least three times a day, we sit down and eat. Do you ever really think about what you eat—not just whether
it is good for you, or if it is a vegetable, but what it is made of? In early chapters, we learned that there are two
types of cells: prokaryotes and eukaryotes. We learned that eukaryotes are fungi, protists, plants, and
animals. We eat a lot of eukaryotic organisms. What do you think makes up most of what you eat? If you are
eating a healthy diet, the majority of your food comes from plants. Even if you ate no plants at all, whatever
you are eating ate a plant or another organism, which probably ate a plant. What is the point? The point is
that plants are important. We have to have food. Is that all we get from plants? Do plants just look nice and
provide us with food?
In Chapter 5, you will learn about the delicate relationship between plants (through photosynthesis) and
humans (through cellular respiration). Plants provide us with the sugars and oxygen that we need in order to
synthesize ATP, or energy. Plants are required for our survival. Recently, you have probably heard a lot in the
news about the greenhouse effect and global warming. There has been, and currently still is, a debate among
scientists, politicians, and other groups of whether or not global warming exists. As productive members of
society, you need to develop an understanding of these concepts. In this unit, you will learn about the
greenhouse effect and the gases that play an important role in the environment.

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.

Overview
1. Conservation Habits = Healthy Habitats Overview
Each of us can be good stewards of our natural resources at our home and in our
communities. When we think about protecting and managing our natural
resources we can provide healthy habitats for the ecosystems on our planet.
Each of us can make a difference by starting in our own backyard, our school or
in our community.
What is conservation? Conservation is careful management of the environment
and of our natural resources. How can you expand or add habits to develop
healthy habitats? A habit is an action or pattern of behavior that is repeated so
often that it becomes typical of somebody, although he or she may be unaware
of it. Some habits are not good, like throwing litter out our car windows. But
working to improve our environment you can develop good habits that will last
your entire life and also inspire others around you. Develop conservation habits
so that it becomes second nature and increase healthy habitats.
What is a habitat? A habitat is the place where something lives because it is
adapted to find food, water, shelter, and space. It could be a plant, animal or
other small organism. People, plants and animals all need a place to live and
food to eat. A habitat is where people, animals and plants grow and live.
Wherever you are you are in a habitat. People, plants and animals all need each
other and they all need clean water, air and soil.
Plants need water and soil. Plants get minerals and other things they need to
grow from soil like we get it from the food we eat. Plants need creatures like
bees and beetles. Bees and beetles, birds and other creatures pollinate plants
so that they can make seeds. Your backyard, the playground at school and the
grassy area along the street are all habitats. Animals like birds, squirrels, worms
and bees find their food in these habitats.
Most of the flowering plants we need and enjoy are pollinated by insects. When
these pollinating insects start shrinking in number many plants either produce
less seed or no seed at all. When pollinating animals start disappearing –plants
start disappearing. We need to protect pollinating insects. Pollinators aren’t just
annoying insects, they are an important part of the web of life that we all depend

2. upon for our very survival. Over 80% of the world’s flowering plants wouldn’t
survive if it weren’t for pollinators. Why do you need those flowering plants? A
lot of fruits and vegetables come from flowering plants. Even a glass of milk or
hamburger depended on pollinators if they came from cattle raised on alfalfa.
Many medicines come from flowering plants. Animals and birds that are an
important part of the ecosystem seek food and shelter in flowering plants and
trees. Pollinators are fast disappearing. We need to establish and protect the
habitats of pollinators.
Habitats are all across North America, you can find them in forests, grasslands,
deserts ,wetlands ,arctic tundra as well as right outside your backdoor and in
your community.
There are many ways you can develop habitat area. Find an area at your home
to plant trees or native plants. Design an outdoor classroom at your school or
volunteer in your community to develop a habitat area. Plant native plants that
bloom at different times to provide a food source for a longer period. Even if you
don’t have to have a lot of space, any place you can plant at least a few native
plants or trees will help. As you design up habitats think about food, water,
shelter, and space for the creatures that will live or visit the area.
Contact your local conservation district and see how you can help.
