School Libraries in the Internet era: challenges, opportunities and experiencesDaniel Cassany
While (almost) every teacher and student have access to the Internet with all the information just some clicks away, libraries are still necessary and useful. The main issue today is not selecting, providing or efficiently organising the library stock, not even making a library catalogue. Now we must focus on libraries' user-learners, on analysing their needs, developing training programmes for them, and searching online (reliable, public, democratic) resources for every subject in the school curriculum. The librarian becomes a 'mediator' between the growing and diverse needs of students and teachers and the universe of available resources on the Net. Therefore, in this session I will introduce and explain a number of initiatives some Spanish and Latinamerican librarians and teachers have undertaken in this line.

How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George
It is possible to hide or invisible some fields in odoo. Commonly using “invisible” attribute in the field definition to invisible the fields. This slide will show how to make a field invisible in odoo 17.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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.
Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
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.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
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.

1. Skype
By Regina Davenport
Here’s a little information to help get you started
with using Skype in the
Classroom.
Skype allows teachers, students, colleagues, and parents to
Communicate by voice using a microphone, by video using a webcam,
and by instant messaging over the Internet. Everyone has to be
registered with Skype for the free service, otherwise, there is a charge
to someone not in the service, or calls to landlines, and cell phones.
2. In two-way communication forums, students are provided with
real time virtual instruction by teachers who may be next door or
thousands of miles away.
3. Students can interact with other students anywhere in the
world whose schools are registered participants using their
computers or...
4. They may have access to viewing a large screen or whiteboard.
5. How do students benefit from such
technologies?
There are endless
opportunities to bolster
knowledge in science,
social studies, and other
subjects.
As students interact with other
students, they become more willing to
invest in building skill in communication
and problem solving skills.
6. Teachers, look at all the possibilities of sharing with colleagues, and
other students across the globe
Read how other teachers are using Skype and their feelings about it.
http://techland.time.com/2012/11/28/how-teachers-use-skype-inthe-classroom/#ixzz2srLXrgv8
.
7. Your Teacher Homepage for Skype in the Classroom will look
similar to this, depending on how you set it up!
As you can see, it’s pretty user friendly.
8. “Skype In the Classroom “
Go Ahead! Signup and try it!!
https://education.skype.com/
9. Students can meet, share, and respond on a googledocs;
while having a live discussion as they work simultaneously on a
document to produce a finished product.
10. Skype In The Classroom makes it possible to
bring into the teaching environment many other 2.0 tools.
11. Students could practice conversational
foreign languages with native speakers.
Photo Reference: digitalphotos.net
12. Teachers can provide additional support for students
needing extra attention or unable to come to class.
13. Skype Videoconferencing
It’s like a field trip, that
could be anywhere in the
world. So it’s great for
subjects like language arts,
science and social studies,
as well as, math; and
students learn through
exploring, communicating,
analyzing, and sharing
with others who might be
located in other
classrooms, cities, states,
and around the world.
14. Skype Conferencing in the Classroom
Students enjoy asking questions and listening to someone who
may have written a book, perhaps sharing their motivation for
writing the book with students. Having such experts visit
students in the classroom allows them to interact first hand and
leaves students with an invaluable experience.
Look at Barbara Mahler’s classroom Skype Conferencing examples as
she discusses her story with students : “A Hole In The Wall”
http://youtu.be/uViuWDbuNaY
http://youtu.be/yMu5ryAHfGs
15. Virtual Trips
Bring students into the STEM program through NASA’s
virtual trips. Videoconferencing with Skype allows
students in multiple schools to collaborate around the
world with subjects like science and social studies, and be
able to work on relevant issues as teams.
16. Skype Videoconferencing Lesson
in Science
Through the NASA program, 6th through 8th grade students would be able to
invite NASA scientists by Skype videoconferencing, to discuss careers in
science, and why students should want to become Scientists. They would
share with students the different types of scientists one might become and
reveal to the students what is required to become a scientist, and what
students can begin to do now in preparation for a possible career as a
scientist later. Students would be able to share their thoughts and to ask
questions to the videoconference visitors. As a treat, the NASA visitors might
give a special presentation from the virtual NASA archives, such as “Journey
to the Extreme: Your VIP Pass to Mars Virtual Field Trip Archive.” Students
could respond in writing about their experiences through their Science webbased discussion
board. This could be a program that might be offered to an entire district to
reach all middle school classes.
17. What does a Skype Videoconferencing lesson look
like for Language Arts
The eighth grade students have read the online
version of the book “The Bronx Masquerade” by
Nikki Grimes.
They have analyzed and contrasted two of the
characters of the book. They have also written their
own poetry.
They are excited in anticipation of meeting and
talking to the author of the book through
Videoconferencing. They will be able to listen to her
talk about her experience as a writer in New York.
Maybe ask about her motivation for writing and a
publishing a fictional book of poems written by
students at a school in the Bronx, New York. They will
also be able to share some of their poems with her.
Nikki Grimes will further encourage the writer in
them.
18. There are so many ways to use Skype In The Classroom
•Interview authors, astronauts and other amazing individuals from
around the world.
