This document summarizes a presentation about using problem-based and global learning in classrooms. It discusses how STEM education focuses on problem solving using all disciplines. Global learning helps students build cultural understanding and empathy through communication and collaboration with students in other places. Several specific project ideas are provided, like mystery Skype calls where students ask yes/no questions to figure out each other's locations, and the 5 Clue Challenge where students leave video clues about a topic. One example is described of a school in Kenya working to design and build a bridge to solve transportation issues in their community. Teachers are encouraged to find ways to connect students globally and have them apply their learning to real-world problems.
How do we influencer our students in positive ways in the 21st century? Here are the slides accompanying the keynote presentation given at Woodward Academy at STLinATL in July 2018 about this topic.

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.
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.

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.

6. STEM is not Science, Technology,
Engineering, and Mathematics.
It is a culture of problem solving in
which all disciplines are used in
conjunction to make the world
better.
8. Does the learning in classrooms matter to
students?
• Long-term learning cannot take
place without emotional connection
with content
• Extrinsic v. Intrinsic Motivation
• Empathy correlates with both
happiness and success in life
9. Why Global Learning?
• Cultural Understanding
• Emotional Experiences
• Communication,
Collaboration, Critical
Thinking, Creativity
• Student Empowerment
17. Fundraising, by itself, does not build empathy.
Students need relationships with others who are
different than they are.
Service projects should always be a two-way
street.
23. Virtual Field Trips

• Discovery Education: discoveryeducation.com/featured-programs
• Exploring by the Seat of Your Pants: exploringbytheseat.com
• JASON Learning: jason.org
• LivingMaths: livingmaths.com
25. Mystery Skype
• Similar to "20 Questions"
• Each class takes turns
asking Yes/No questions to
figure out location of the
other class.
• Variations: animals,
numbers, elements,
occupations, etc. instead
of locations.
• Builds critical thinking
skills and content
knowledge.
• Creates opportunities to
connect with other
locations to have Q&A
sessions about culture.

29. The 5 Clue
Challenge
• Use Skype Video Message or
YouTube to leave 5 clues for
partner class to guess
location, animal, etc.
• After each clue, students will
pause video, do research, and
take a guess.

37. Twitter
Not Just for Donald Trump Anymore!
• As of a year ago, over 4.2 million tweets per day were
related to education, most by educators
• Hashtags allow you to curate and organize what you
see
• There is an educational hashtag for almost every
content area, grade level, and educational interest
area
46. The Problem
• The current bridge is very dangerous – Most primary school students
from the other side of the village do not attend school because
parents will not let them cross
• During the rainy season, nobody from the far side of the village can go
to school
• The creek below is very deep (6-12m), and the current can be fast
• Any new bridge would need to span 25 meters
• The middle 12 meters of the bridge cannot have supports underneath
due to the creek
• The bridge must be wide enough for two people to pass each other
52. Time to be an Engineer
• Build a bridge that will hold as many pennies as possible.
• Use only 2 pieces of paper - Nothing else
• Paper can be folded, crumpled, torn, or cut
• Scale: 1cm : 1m (must be 25cm long and wide enough for 2 people)
• The middle 12cm of the bridge cannot have supports
1. Before building, draw your design.
2. Build your design, and test it by adding one penny at a time.
3. Watch carefully to see where and how your bridge fails.
4. Use what you learned from the failure to redesign a better bridge
and repeat.

Editor's Notes
----- Meeting Notes (11/18/16 12:28) -----
The purpose of school is not to prepare kids for tests, colleges, or careers. The purpose of school is to give students the tools they need to be happy in their lives.
----- Meeting Notes (10/23/16 18:05) -----
Whether we define success as financial or personal happiness, research has shown that empathy correlates best with success in later life.
We must focus on this in schools.
