Shifting to a Strength-Based Culture in SchoolsChris Wejr
If the keynote session focused on WHY we need to shift our lens to a strength-based approach in schools, this breakout session will focus on the HOW and WHAT of this shift. The following topics will be discussed:
- how to determine the strengths of our students and staff
ideas to move to a strength-based model in schools
- ways to honour and recognize the strengths of our students
moving from MY students to OUR students
- school-wide activities that build on the strengths of students and staff
- providing opportunities for collaboration and leadership in areas of strength
The session is designed for educators that want to create change beyond their classroom walls; participants will walk away with practical ideas that can start an immediate shift to a strength-based culture in their school.

21st century student engagement and success through collaborative project-bas...Beata Jones
How do we empower our students to thrive in the 21st century? How do we design student-centered learning environments in our courses that take advantage of the best, still relevant aspects of the Industrial Age education and infuse them with the necessary elements for our undergraduates to thrive in the Robotic Age? The presentation will explain the framework for course design and classroom strategies to aid in successful implementation of such student-centered, collaborative project-based learning environment in university courses.

Using Disruption to Stay on Course (for Liberal Education)Rebecca Davis
Today’s news headlines are filled with startling reports about U. S. higher education. Calls for dramatically reduced cost are paired with critiques of higher education outcomes, demands for jobs for graduates, and images of online learning (especially the massive open online course or MOOC) as the new magic bullet that will remake our system of higher education by bringing learning to the masses for free. But what do these developments have to do with institutions that focus on liberal education? How are liberal arts colleges and universities preserving a focus on their key missions and goals during a time of dramatic change in higher education?
This workshop will focus on technology-enabled disruptions challenging the traditional high touch liberal arts model—e.g., the massive open online course or MOOC, blended learning, big data, the globally networked world, etc.—and investigate creative responses that adapt these disruptions in service to the essential learning outcomes and high impact practices of liberal education. Participants will discuss disruptive innovations, examine cases of adaption to the liberal education context, and consider how they might implement such adaptions at their own institutions.
learning in the digital age looks at the way our students our controlled and constrained by orthodox protocols and methodologies. The presentation challenges conventional beliefs yet grounds the challenge in a 'can do' way. We have to work from within a system in order to be able to change it.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.

Francesca Gottschalk - How can education support child empowerment.pptxEduSkills OECD
Francesca Gottschalk from the OECD’s Centre for Educational Research and Innovation presents at the Ask an Expert Webinar: How can education support child empowerment?
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.

6. DISRUPTIVE INNOVATIONS
It’s been interesting watching this unfold
in music, books, newspapers, TV, but
nothing has ever been as interesting to
me as watching it happen in my own
backyard. Higher education is now being
disrupted; our MP3 is the massive open
online course (or MOOC), and our
Napster is Udacity, the education startup.
7. FORECASTING THE DEMISE OF THE
UNIVERSITY
"Universities won't survive. The future is outside the traditional
campus, outside the traditional classroom. Distance learning
is coming on fast.“
- Peter Drucker, Forbes magazine 1997

9. DEFINING DI
Christensen describes disruptive innovation as:
“Generally, disruptive innovations were
technologically straightforward, consisting of off-
the-shelf components put together in a product
architecture that was often simpler than prior
approaches. They offered less of what customers in
established markets wanted and so could rarely be
initially employed there. They offered a different
package of attributes valued only in emerging
markets remote from, and unimportant to, the
mainstream”
10. “Disruptive technologies bring to market a very
different value proposition than had been available
previously. Generally, disruptive technologies
underperform established products in mainstream
markets. But they have features that a few fringe
(and generally new) customers value. Products
based on disruptive technologies are typically
cheaper, simpler, smaller and, frequently, more
convenient to use”

15. I HAVE NO QUALIFICATIONS
CC Some rights reserved by valart2008
16. QUESTION – BE HONEST NOW
• Are you employed in a role in which you have no formal qualifications?
What is it?
• What do you think you are really good at or know a lot about but for which
you have no formal qualifications? Could you be employed in a role using
your unqualified skills and/or knowledge?
• Are these things you learnt by doing a course? Or are they things that you
learnt by yourself in an informal, ad-hoc way? Or something else?
• Let’s spend 5 minutes discussing and then see what capabilities we have in
the room.
22. QUESTION – ON THE
QUALIFICATION
• Should it be possible for people to achieve a qualification evidencing their
learning and/or skills without completing a course?
• If it is possible then will it be important that people are able to do this?
• What will the effect be on the role of the course as it exists today if people
can evidence their own learning without completing a course?
• Let’s spend 5 minutes thinking and sharing.
25. QUESTION – ON THE MAKER
CULTURE
• What happens when the barriers to the production of engaging content fall
so low that anyone can create content?
• What does it mean when the students can produce learning content?
• What about when other people can create open content? What does it
mean for the role of the academic as subject matter expert?
26.
27. QUESTION – ON THE SHARING
CULTURE
• What happens when content is shared openly and is built communally?
• What happens when learners engage with each other on their own in ways
not mediated by the subject matter expert?
34. QUESTION – ON CREDENTIALING
• Do we need credentialing?
• What are we measuring?
• What is the role of the wider community in credentialing?
• How will we credential?
• Do degrees still have a place?
• What will be the role of professional organisations?
36. QUESTION – WHAT WILL COURSES
LOOK LIKE?
• Will they look the same?
• Will they be time and place dependent?
• Will there be instances of courses that occur between fixed intervals?
• When will we enrol in courses?
• Will courses resemble communities of practice?
• How will personal learning environments interact with course learning environments?
• Who will build courses?
• Who will run courses?
• Spend 5 to 10 minutes talking about how courses may look in 20 years time.

38. QUESTION – WHAT WILL TERTIARY
INSTITUTIONS LOOK LIKE?
• How will universities, colleges and further education providers look in the
future?
• Smaller? Larger? More specialised? More general?
• Virtual? Bricks and mortar?
• Spend 5 minutes thinking about what your institution might be like in 20 years
time.
39. WHAT DOES A UNIVERSITY
DO NOW?
The three purposes of the University? – To
provide sex for the students, sports for the
alumni, and parking for the faculty.
I have sometimes thought of it [the
university] as a series of individual faculty
entrepreneurs held together by a common
grievance over parking.
- Clark Kerr
45. QUESTION - WHAT ABOUT THE ROLE OF
THE ACADEMIC?
• Do you think that the role of the academic will change?
• Will we still have the notion of academic and non academic?
• How do personal learning environments change the nature of the
academy?
• Spend 5 minutes at your table?
46. DISRUPTIVE INNOVATIONS
In the academy, we lecture other people
every day about learning from history. Now its
our turn, and the risk is that we’ll be the last to
know that the world has changed, because
we can’t imagine - really cannot imagine -
that story we tell ourselves about ourselves
could start to fail. Even when it’s true.
Especially when it’s true.
- Clay Shirky, 2012

50. SUMMARY – WHY I’M AN
OUTRAGEOUS OPTIMIST
Future is more social, more flexible, more personal but…
… we’ll still have courses, there will just be a wider range of types of courses.
And they will be better than they are now.
YesProbablyPeople will seek alternative methods of learning. Some people will still want highly structured courses. There will be less de-motivated students in those courses. The experience will be better for all concerned. There will be a greater expectation of service from teaching staff.
Smaller, more focussed? Larger more general.Spend 5 minutes in your group.
