Participants will explore the use of social media as a way to engage students in a participatory culture. These participatory cultures are relatively known as Affinity Spaces. The presenter will demonstrate ways to create a virtual jigsaw as a method to analyze and summarize narrative materials. The focus for this mini session is to learn how to use a back channel as a method to deep read large amounts of materials in less time with greater participant comprehension and involvement. At the end of the session participants will have learned how to setup a simulated social network using "Today's Meet" and "Google Forms"

How is the Bible being used in Sunday School curriculum if a student can attend class and never have to touch or handle it? What may happen to students if they are rarely prompted to dig into the passage and mine its meaning and relevance for their daily affairs? What might happen is that students graduate from years of Sunday School without ever learning how to handle the Word of truth correctly, in the sense meant by 2 Timothy 2:15 (NIV): Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth. In Part 1 the author explores the implications of how the Bible is used through the lenses of curriculum theory, analyzing the explicit, implicit, null, incarnated, whom and how curricula. In Part 2 the flower/bee methodology is presented as a guide to customizing one’s own curriculum. It works as an overlay over existing commercial curriculum to glean its most useful ideas. It establishes a methodology for each lesson plan to teach students to correctly handle the Bible as a means of growing in godliness and presenting themselves before God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed.

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.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

2. To the Learner
READING for Bright Minds has been written
especially for you. May the activities in this book give
you an exciting adventure as you learn the sounds of
all the letters and read words on your own. Welcome
to the world of reading!
The Author
3. To the Teacher
Reading is an important life skill. Young children who are exposed to reading
materials, see reading as an act, and are read to are often those who are more
equipped to acquire the other skills necessary for learning. The ability to read opens
up an individual’s horizons and makes the enjoyment of learning possible.
A good strategy for teaching reading is the whole-part-whole strategy. In
this strategy, reading instruction starts with the reading or sharing of a whole,
meaningful text. This is followed by the teaching of a reading skill or strategy within
the context of the text. Then, in the final stages of the lesson, the children apply the
skill as they go back to the text.
This book is intended for teaching reading in a whole-part-whole strategy. It is
suggested that the teacher or parent begins a lesson with a story, poem, or any type
of literature the child will understand. Whole language strategies and subskills, such
as letter identification, phonemic awareness, and decoding, are incorporated into
the theme of each lesson. Mastery of the whole language strategies and subskills is
reinforced through the activities in this book.
I hope that READING for Bright Minds will help you provide meaningful learning
experiences for the children you teach.
