Pacific Island art from Polynesia embodies rich traditions and history rather than being viewed as primitive from a Western perspective. Key art forms include wood carvings, tattoos, and greenstone pendants and figures which were imbued with mana or spiritual power. The Maori people of New Zealand were skilled navigators and traders with a warrior culture evidenced through wooden clubs, feathered cloaks, and elaborate facial tattoos denoting status and ancestry.

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.
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.

Outrigger Canoes
11. Navigation
Polynesian navigation systems were used to make long
voyages across thousands of miles of open ocean. Navigators
travel to small inhabited islands using only their own senses and
knowledge passed by oral tradition from navigator to apprentice,
often in the form of song.
In order to locate directions at various times of day and year,
Polynesian navigators memorize important facts: the motion of
specific stars, so where they would rise and set on the horizon of
the ocean; weather and the seasons of travel; wildlife species
(which gather at particular positions); the direction, size and,
speed of ocean waves; colors of the sea and sky, especially how
clouds would cluster at the locations of some islands; and angles
for approaching harbors.
These WAYFINDING techniques along with their unique outrigger
canoe construction methods have been kept as secrets.
Generally each island maintained a guild of navigators who had
very high status and in times of famine or difficulty these
navigators could trade for aid or evacuate people to neighboring
islands. To this day, the original methods of Polynesian
Navigation are still taught in the Polynesian outlier of Taumako
Island in the Solomon Islands.

Curvilinear pattern on the lattice panels were made by women to fill the pace between the wall planks. Because ritual prohibitions, or taboos, Women were not allowed in the house and they worked from the ouside and wove the panels from the back. Each pattern has a symbolic meaning. Cheverons represent the teeth of the monster Taniwah, steps represent the stars of heaven climbed by the hero go Tawhaki and the diamonds represent the flounder.
According to archaeological evidence, tattooing came to New Zealand from Eastern Polynesian culture.The bone chisels used for tattooing can be found in archaeological sites of various ages in New Zealand, as well as in some early Eastern Polynesian sites. Although the Māori practiced tattooing, there is no evidence that the Moriori people did.In New Zealand, It is in the early sites that the widest chisel blades are found, and this lends evidence to the theory that there was possibly a preference towards rectilinear tattoo patterns in earlier times. The head was considered the most sacred part of the body, and because tattooing caused blood to run the tattoo craftsmen, or "tohunga-ta-oko", were very tapu persons. All high-ranking Māori were tattooed, and those who went without tattoos were seen as persons of no social status.Tattooing commenced at puberty, accompanied by many rites and rituals. In addition to making a warrior attractive to women, the tattoo practice marked both rites of passage and important events in a person's life.There were certain prohibitions during the tattooing process, and for the facial tattoo in particular sexual intimacy and the eating of solid foods were prohibited. In order to overcome this, liquid food and water was drained into a wooden funnel, to ensure that no contaminating product came into contact with the swollen skin. This was also the only way the tattooed person could eat until his or her wounds healed.The full faced tattoo was very time consuming, and a good tattoo craftsman would carefully study a person's bone structure before commencing his art.
