This document outlines a lesson plan about threats to biodiversity in Africa, focusing on poaching. It includes directions for students to watch documentaries about endangered black rhinos, elephants, and northern white rhinos. Students are asked to take notes on poaching and its consequences. They also research an individual endangered African animal and present on it. The lesson emphasizes that endangered species should be protected to maintain healthy ecosystems and biodiversity, and suggests ways individuals can help endangered wildlife conservation efforts.
This presentation is the result of a semester long research project. The slides contain a lot of text to ensure that disabled students are able to follow.

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.

12. Poaching in Africa:
• Black Rhinos
• African Elephants
• Northern White Rhinos
• We are going to watch a short documentary about each of these animals.
• Please take notes in your I.N.
14. Elephants:
• The National Geographic Television film Battle for the Elephants
explores the rapid destruction of African elephants, fueled by the
growing trade in illegal ivory. This clip from the film follows the path
of poached ivory from the port of Mombasa, Kenya, to the ivory
carvers and luxury ivory shops in China.
• Read “Background Info” and “Questions” on National Geographic
website.

16. What are the consequences
of poaching?
5 Minute Power Write!
18. Entry Task:
•What is the difference between a threatened
species, endangered species and extinct
species?
19. • Endangered species are those plants and animals that
are so rare they are in danger of becoming extinct.
Threatened species are plants and animals whose
numbers are very low or decreasing rapidly.
Threatened species are not endangered yet, but are
likely to become endangered in the future.
20. Consequences of poaching:
• Endangered Animals
• Extinction
• Loss of biodiversity
• Any other consequences?
22. Endangered Animals Project:
1.) Select an endangered animal that lives in Africa.
2.) Choose to work individually, in partner or a group of 3.
3.) Begin researching information about your endangered animal.
4.) Complete Endangered Animal handout. We will present the
information about our animals in class. Teach each other!
*Be sure to use RELIABLE sources. I have posted many
RELIABLE sources on the Google Classroom!
23. Endangered Animals in Africa:
• Northern White
Rhino
• Black Rhino
• Eastern Lowland
Gorilla
• Mountain Gorilla
• Chimpanzees
• Rothschild Giraffe
• African Wild Dog
• Riverine Rabbit
• Ethiopian Wolf
• Grey’s Zebra
• African Penguin
• Ring-Tailed Lemur
• African Elephant
26. Why should we protect
endangered species?
• Saving species preserves ecosystems: species are an
important part of what make up ecosystems;
maintaining healthy ecosystems ensures a healthy planet.
• Circle of life!
• Biodiversity!
27. As a human being, how do you
think or feel about this
ongoing global and potentially
disastrous problem?
29. • Support nature centers, nature reserves, or botanical gardens;
volunteer money, time, and ideas.
• Avoid buying ivory, snakeskin belts, alligator boots, and other
products made from endangered animals.
• Keep learning about plants and animals; share what you've
learned with others! Knowledge is power!
How can you as an individual
help this cause?
30. Final Gallery Walk:
• Reflect on your learning about African Wildlife,
specifically endangered animals.
• What do you know about this animal?
• What is threatening the survival of this species?
• What questions do you still have?
