There are different types of gifted and talented students who do not always experience success in school. These include high achievers, challengers, underground students, dropouts, and those with double labels referring to both giftedness and learning difficulties. While giftedness is often defined as being in the top 5% academically or talent-wise, there is debate around how it is identified and defined. Research shows that grouping gifted students homogeneously does not consistently help students learn more and may actually create differences in what they learn by exposing them to different materials than other students. Gifted students often resist assigned work that is not challenging enough to keep them motivated.

5 Lessons Learned About Data Visualization from Middle-schoolers
— Using data visualization to increase engagement in learning
Presented at the Data Visualization Summit in Boston, September 12, 2013.
Abstract: Middle schoolers, a notoriously tough crowd to engage, actually have a lot to say. In this talk, we share lessons learned while creating online educational environments that put struggling readers in charge of their learning. Data visualizations were central to our process, affecting everything from how we operated as a group, to our research approach, student insights, and our design strategy. We played at the intersection of learning analytics, a rich network of reading content, and interactive dashboard visualizations. Our aim was to instill in middle schoolers the belief that they can grow their intellect and expertise in reading, to engage them in taking control of their own goals and progress, and support them in having a deep experience with text.

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.

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.

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.
