1) The document summarizes the history of several important early sites in Arlington, Texas, including cemeteries, settlements, battles, and landmarks from the 1840s-early 1900s.
2) Many of the locations are named for pioneering figures like Colonel Johnson, who established early settlements in the 1840s, and Captain Denton, who was killed in an 1841 battle.
3) Archaeological excavations have uncovered evidence of indigenous villages dating back 9,000 years along Village Creek, where some of the earliest battles and settlements in the area occurred.
My presentation is about the perils that the pioneers faced along the Oregon Trail. Among the many hardships they endured, this presentation covers some of the most dangerous ones; such as, river crossings, food shortages, diseases and sicknesses, accidents, facing the weather, and indian attacks. I chose this topic because I wanted to educate my audience about the hardships that the pioneers faced. Seeing what they went through really makes a person be thankful for everything that they have.

Study: The Future of VR, AR and Self-Driving CarsLinkedIn
We asked LinkedIn members worldwide about their levels of interest in the latest wave of technology: whether they’re using wearables, and whether they intend to buy self-driving cars and VR headsets as they become available. We asked them too about their attitudes to technology and to the growing role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the devices that they use. The answers were fascinating – and in many cases, surprising.
This SlideShare explores the full results of this study, including detailed market-by-market breakdowns of intention levels for each technology – and how attitudes change with age, location and seniority level. If you’re marketing a tech brand – or planning to use VR and wearables to reach a professional audience – then these are insights you won’t want to miss.

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.

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.

Pioneer Trail of Arlington, TX
1.
2. Johnson Plantation Cemetery/ Arlington’s Early African American Cemetery In this small historic family cemetery lie the remains of one of the principal figures in the history of Arlington and Tarrant County, together with those of his family, his slaves and their family members. Born in South Carolina, Johnson arrived at Marrow Bone Springs in 1846 with a company of Texas Rangers. He founded a stagecoach company, a mail stop and Johnson Station -- the early site of Arlington -- in 1848. He made several unsuccessful bids for Texas governor and served in the Congress of the Republic of Texas. Colonel Middleton Tate Johnson is the namesake of Johnson County, and known as the "Father of Tarrant County.“ He donated land for the first Tarrant County courthouse in Fort Worth.

4. Marrow Bone Spring NR In Founders Park, 600 block W. Arkansas The area around the spring had long been a gathering place for Indians. In January 1848, Colonel Middleton Tate Johnson’s Company of the Texas Rangers was assigned to Kaufman Station in the area of the spring. It was later called Marrow Bone Spring Post. The spring is still active though it cannot be separated from Johnson Creek, which the trail follows from Founders Park to Vandergriff Park. A post office operated here from 1851 to 1905. Johnson Station, as it is known, became one of the county’s earliest settlements and Johnson became a major landowner in the area.

6. The Johnson Station Cemetery 1100 block of W. Mayfield. A granite monument marks the location of the first stagecoach inn serving as an overnight stop between Fort Worth and Dallas. Service of the Trunk Stage Coach Line started in 1845 and connected with major stage routes such as the Butterfield Trail. Some of the area’s original land grantees are buried here, including members of the Jopling, Melear and Matlock families.

8. Woods Chapel Baptist Church In April 1901, Rev. Washington Lafayette Woods and a group of worshippers met in a brush arbor to form the congregation of this historic church. They built a small, white frame chapel in Nov. of that year and named it for the pastor. Worship services were held on Saturday and Sunday until 1910 and baptisms were conducted in nearby Rush and Village creeks. One of the villages that became part of Arlington was established around this church.

10. General Edward H. Tarrant Marker 6000 block of Pioneer Parkway A granite monument, just west of the Village Creek Bridge, marks one of the last Indian battles fought in Tarrant County. On May 24, 1841, General Edward H. Tarrant of the Republic of Texas Militia led a company of volunteers in the attack upon the villages of the Caddo Tribe residing along Village Creek. A historical marker (THM) on the seventh tee of the Lake Arlington Golf Course, south of this location, marks the initial charge made on the largest village, which was where the clubhouse now stands. After this battle, many of the tribes began moving west.

12. Village Creek Historical Park and Caddoan Villages 2605 Dottie Lynn Archeological excavations along the Village Creek valley have unearthed evidence of several prehistoric villages. Artifacts from the area date back almost 9,000 years and represent a culture of food-gatherers and hunters. Spanish explorers were believed to have made camp near here in 1542 at an Indian Village named Guasco. In the 1830s, the valley held one of the largest concentrations of Indians in the region. Village Creek was so named because of all the Indian villages along its banks.

14. Captain John Denton Ambush Site 2300 hundred block of Green Oaks Following brief fights in the Battle of Village Creek, two scouting patrols were attacked near the mouth of the creek and retreated to the main camp. Over the objections of more experienced Rangers, the leader of one scouting party, Captain John B. Denton, pursued further north into the Village Creek thickets. He was ambushed and killed, along with 12 Indians. Captain Denton was the only white man killed in the battle. He was a circuit-riding minister, a lawyer and the namesake of Denton County.

16. Bird’s Fort and Sloan-Journey Expedition Markers 3000 block of N. Collins As you drive on N. Collins, you are crossing the Trinity River "bottoms." This is the site of some of the earliest exploration by settlers, the Sloan-Journey Expedition, and the earliest settlement in Tarrant County, Bird’s Fort. Arlington’s landfill, gravel mining and other excavations have changed the look of the land, but the trees along the river give an impression of what the valley looked like in the 1830s and 1840s. Captain Jonathan Bird established Bird’s Fort in 1841. Its life was short and no evidence of the fort remains, but it was the site of the 1843 execution of "A Treaty of Peace and Friendship" between several Indian tribes and the Republic of Texas.

19. Watson Cemetery THL Patrick A. Watson established an early community here. The first person buried in the cemetery, in 1846, was a woman whose coffin was made from a wagon bed. Brush was burned atop her grave to hide it from Indians. When Watson bought the land in 1853, he set aside a one-acre cemetery and gave land for the Watson Community’s first school and church. In 1956, the Dallas-Fort Worth Turnpike was routed around the cemetery and the church was relocated. The Watson Cabin is now on display in Knapp Heritage Park in downtown Arlington. Before SH360 was built, the route was known as Watson Road, and signs to this effect remain.
