A transformational principal plays a vital role in a school development. If I am appointed as a school principal, I will implement the development of technology to fulfill school’s initiative. An efficient technology has countless benefits in learning institutions. For students to perform effectively in the business world, it is important for them to know technology. Advanced technology in most of the schools encourages the use of minimal resources, and at the same time, it serves a significant number of people. Also, the use educational technology boosts student’s performance in school. They can meet the requirements of the instructor easily because there many samples online with a clear outline of how to handle the assignments. Besides, students can access their abilities through the use of technology. This paper discusses the role of technology in learning schools and the responsibilities of transformation principal.
The search for knowledge is an everyday thing amongst humans. This has resulted in the enrolment of people into different institutions of learning. The development of technology and the discovery of the internet resulted in their usage for learning. Several institutions have implemented this in their programmes over the years. This paper examined the concept of e-learning; how it works, it benefits to learners, educators and the society and some challenges it faces. Consequently, its workability for mathematics educators was deduced.

A Development of Students’ Worksheet Based on Contextual Teaching and LearningIOSRJM
This research is aimed at developing the students’ worksheet to determine the quality of validity and practicality aspects based on expert’s assessment of materials, expert’s design, media specialists, an individual assessment of students’ testing, a small group assessment of students trial, and a field trials assessment of students.This study is adapted from the development of ADDIE model which consists of 5 stages: 1) Analysis, 2) design, 3) Development, 4) Implementation, and 5) evaluation. The results showed that the quality of students' worksheet of mathematics on materials of factorization in algebra-based on Contextual Teaching and Learning basically on the assessment of: 1) the experts’ of subject materials is obtained a total average of 3.81 is included in the category of "Good" or scored 76.2 % which is included in the category of "Very Decent", 2) the experts’ design is obtained a total average of 3.62 which is included in the category of "Good" or scored 72.4% which is included in the category "Decent", 3) the experts’ of media is obtained scored 4:43 which is included in the category of "Good" or scored 88.6% which is in the category of "Very Decent".Whereas, the assessment by the students is done in three stages: 1) an individual assessment of students’ testing is obtained average total of 4.75 which is included in the category of "Very Good" or 95% which is included in the category of "Very Decent", 2) a small group assessment of students trial is obtained total average of 4:58 which is included in the category of "Very Good" or scored 91.6% thus it is included in the category of "Very Decent", 3) a field trials assessment of students is obtained a total average of 4:43 which is included in the category of "Very Good" or scored 88.6% thus it is included in the category of "Very Decent". Thus mathematics on materials of factorization in algebra-based on Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) is declared valid and practical so it can be used as the learning equipment of mathematics at the factorization material algebra.
THE RATIONALE AND FRAMEWORK FOR EVALUATING THE ICT USE IN TEACHER EDUCATION D...DrGavisiddappa Angadi
This study investigated that the quantity of computer and ICT use in teacher education institutions is less and it is mainly focused on the learning of ICT skills which takes optimum time computers are used. The framework is then improved towards a new framework that can be effectively used to evaluate information and communication technology use in pre-service teacher education. In this study the independent variables are derived from computer use within the institution, some other extraneous factor may have impact on the results. Those factors may be computer use at home, friends home and cyber or internet centers by the respondents. The study concludes that the reality rhetoric gap of the impact of ICTs in teacher education institutions be evaluated from periodically to ensure that the quality with program objectives are met. The result shows that there is an urgent need to conduct intensive training to all the teacher educators in the colleges of education. The curriculum developers should develop global content for serving the local needs and make it to available to all the colleges of education online as well as offline content or blended learning modules. Several factors have been cited as responsible for low quantity of computer use in colleges of education. Some of these factors are; attitude towards new technologies, poor management, lack of local content serving local needs, shortage of equipments.

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.

2. Microsoft Partners in Learning School Research Report
This report presents the results of surveys of school
leaders and educators at testscool. The surveys measure
participants' reports of innovative teaching practices in
the schoo, including the use of technology for learning
and school support for innovative pratices. The goal of
the research is to provide tools for schools to measure
and develop innovative teaching and learning, and to
ultimately better prepare students for life and work in the
21st century.
This research is based on the school leader and educator
surveys developed for a broader multinational study
called Innovative Teaching and Learning (ITL)
Research, which is sponsored by Microsoft Partners in
Learning and has advisors from UNESCO, OECD and
other organizations. For more information, see
www.itlresearch.com.
The survey data reported in this document focuses on
measuring key elements of the ITL Research Model,
including the extent of Innovative Teaching Practices
educators use.
What is ICT?
Throughout this report information and
communication technologies (ICT) refers to a
broad set of technology tools and resources such
as computers (including laptops), mobile phones,
graphing calculators, digital cameras, electronic
whiteboards, other computer hardware,
computer software (such as presentation
software, word processors, and spreadsheets) and
the Internet. The words computers, technology,
and ICT are used interchangeably.

3. Introduction and Methodology
Schools around the world are striving to improve students' learning experiences through pedagogical changes and the effective
use of technology. Students need skills for life and work in the 21st century that are not well developed through traditional
education. Microsoft's Partners in Learning School Research (PILSR) provides tools that any school or system can use to measure
innovative teaching practices and make progress on transforming education to meet students' needs.
This report is based on surveys of the school leaders and educators at testscool testcity, Albania that were completed in
September, 2013. These surveys can be repeated by the school each year to measure progress.
The objectives of this report are to provide a basis for discussion and reflection within the broader school community and to
inform strategic planning and professional development decisions. Each school participating in PILSR is invited to join the
international community of educators interested in this research at [www.pilntest.com] to share ideas, examples and experiences.
Method
The surveys were conducted online among
school leaders and educators in testscool in
September, 2013.
Survey questions were asked in English.
Measures of innovative teaching practices
are based on educators' reports of their own
teaching practices.

StudentCentered
Pedagogy
Extending
learning
beyond the
classroom
"Innovative Teaching Practices" in this research include more than the use of technology
alone. Having technology in schools does not by itself change teaching and learning. For it to
be effective in improving student learning, technology use needs to be part of the
pedagogical shifts that include student centered learning and practicing learning in ways that
can take place anytime and anywhere.

5. Innovative Teaching Practices
Use of the term "innovative" to describe the combination of the three teaching practices
described below is intentional. Student centered pedagogy and extending learning beyond
the classroom are concepts that have very long histories. The term "innovative" in the context
of this research describes combining these practices with technology to solve teaching and
learning challenges in new ways. It is the combination of these pedagogical practices with
technology that has the potential for real innovation.
Student-Centered
Pedagogy
Extending learning beyond the
classroom
ICT used for teaching and
learning
Student-centered pedagogy includes
practices of teaching and learning that are
project-based, collaborative, foster
knowledge-building, require self-regulation
and assessment, and are both personalized
(allowing for student choice and relevance to
the individual student) as well as
individualized (allowing students to work at
their own pace and according to their
particular learning needs).
This teaching practice refers to learning
activiites that reflect the nature of highperforming work groups in modern
organizations.
This teaching practice relates to technology
use by educators and by students for learning
purposes. Because the impact of information
and communication technologies (ICT) can
vary widely depending on its pedagogical
application, this construct includes a focus on
how ICT is used and not simply whether it is
used.
Each of these elements has a strong base of
prior research, linking them to positive
outcomes in terms of developing 21st century
skills among students.
Microsoft Partners in Learning School Research
testscool
Learning activities extend beyond the
traditional boundaries of the classroom, for
example, by including individuals beyond the
classroom (for example, parents, experts,
community members), by providing
opportunities 24/7 learning (for example,
research outside the classroom), fostering
cross-subject connections, and promoting
global awareness and cultural understanding.
For example, the surveys distinguish between
basic or rote use of technology and higherlevel technology use that takes better
advantage of technology for deep student
learning.

Personalized Learning
Example Learning Activity: Student-Centered Pedagogy
Student-centered learning requires students to be active, responsible participants in their own learning. An
example would be a learning activity where students are asked to organize into three groups, where each group
develops a project (collaboration) to design a better school library (knowledge construction). The project must
include applications of concepts from math, history and human biology (knowledge construction). Students
choose the particular concepts they will use from these areas and how they will apply them in the design
(personalized learning). Finally, students assess each group's work according to specified expectations and
modify the project design based on feedback from peers (self regulation).

Students are asked to create a presentation of their research on how work is changing. Student groups visit parents' workplaces
in teams using digital photography and video, generating stories, images and knowledge about the issue. Then the teams
investigate labor market trends using data collected from the internet or other sources to make charts that compare what they
saw and learned locally with patterns in other countries. Finally, they send the reports to local authorities identifying resources
