This presentation discusses subject-verb agreement and some of the difficulties in using proper agreement. It explores how singular and plural subjects require singular and plural verbs respectively. It also examines how certain pronouns, phrases, and constructions can complicate subject-verb agreement, such as indefinite pronouns, fractional expressions, and expletive constructions. The presentation aims to help writers avoid agreement errors through examples and explanations of key rules and exceptions.
“Qual è l'ora migliore per avere buone idee?”, “Come posso diventare più creativo/a?”. Un ebook gratuito di 32 pagine, chiaro e divertente, per comprendere meglio alcuni "segreti" della creatività
This session of The Ajax Experience 2008 takes a look at the latest features in both Prototype and script.aculo.us, including custom events and how to leverage them, method wrapping for AOP-style programming, sprockets, the refactorings and improvements on Ajax, scheduling and the DOM, the new effects engine, and more.
We wrap up with an overview of the community landscape for these libraries, looking at major helpful resources, prominent peripheral frameworks, and seeing what the future looks like for both Prototype and script.aculo.us.
Climate Change and the 5 rules of the environmentjschmied
Basic introduction to climate change and basic foundational knowledge of environmental issues. Used to inspire others to take action on environmental issues. Also can be used discuss basics of all environmental topics and as a guide to planning and delivering environmental learning. Can be used with middle school, high school students college and teacher prep programs. I use these rules to guide my environmental learning program and highlight each with environmental grounding assignments, and other environmental projects in year long settings where students develop environmental understanding and responsibility over time.
Best Practice Solutions for Frequest Ajax Use Cases With PrototypeChristophe Porteneuve
These use cases drop in time and again: checkbox lists; live login validation; dynamic form rows; server-side processing progress indicators; list reordering using drag and drop; and more… As always, there are a lot of terrible ways to achieve those, several decent ones, and precious few really good takes. This session will review several such use cases and detail various ways to implement them, contrasting the ugly and the beautiful, showing useful reflexes and rules of thumb, with a special focus on performance and maintenance.

Science is like a child looking at a butterflyjschmied
A presentation, seen through the eyes of a child, for students of all ages, Helps students review what it is to learn the "Layers" of science. Science requires that our students continue to "take things to the next level", and its important that each student understands that they will work through different levels of science learning for each topic time in and time out. This presentation can be used by school science classes and after school science programs, nature programs and environmental programs.
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.

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.

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.
Overview on Edible Vaccine: Pros & Cons with Mechanism
Svagr
1. Welcome to the PowerPoint Presentation on Subject-Verb Agreement, the Sore Thumb of grammar!
2. A singular subject demands a singular verb; a plural subject demands a plural verb. That is the simple principle behind subject-verb agreement . This presentation will explore some of the difficulties we have with subject-verb agreement and provide some notes about avoiding agreement problems in our own writing. Hyperlinks to the Guide to Grammar and Writing are provided in this color. Links between subjects and verbs will be shown with red lines.
3. Indefinite pronouns such as everyone and everybody feel plural to some writers, but they are always singular — and take a singular verb. Everyone associated with the project is proud to be part of the effort. Someone has to be responsible. Don’t be confused by phrases that come between the subject pronoun and its verb — phrases that may contain plural words. Each of the project partners is responsible for writing a chapter summary.
4. The verb that accompanies pronouns such as all and some will be determined by whether the pronoun is referring to something that is COUNTABLE or not. Some of the students in the cafeteria have voted already. Some of the grain was ruined by the flood. “ Students” is countable, but we cannot count “the grain”; it is one lump, one quantity. None is usually regarded as singular, but it can be used as a plural pronoun. None of the representatives has indicated how he or she will vote. OR None of the representatives have indicated how they will vote.
5. With fractional expressions (fractions or decimal equivalents), the verb will be determined by what is being measured: is it COUNTABLE or not. Two-fifths of the grain is ruined. One-half of the students were convinced that there would be no final exams this year. Of all the returns we have counted so far, fifty percent are in favor of the referendum. A majority of the student body is in favor of asking the Dean to stay another year.
6. Phrases such as together with, along with , and as well as seem to join subjects, but they do not work the same as and : they are not conjunctions. Some of the hay in the barn, as well as some major pieces of farm equipment, was ruined in the flood. The major spending bill before Congress, together with some other bills that are awaiting action, is going to cost taxpayers plenty.
7. In formal writing, when either and neither appear as a subject alone (without their sidekicks or and nor ), they are singular. This is true even though the subject seems to be two things. Neither of these choices appears to be satisfactory. The purchasing office will lend me a company car or compensate me for travel expenses. Either is fine with me . When either and neither act as correlative conjunctions , however, life becomes a bit more complicated!
8. When either and neither act as correlative conjunctions , the subject that is closer to the verb determines the number (singular or plural form) of the verb. Neither the principal nor the teachers are at fault. Either the teachers or the principal has to be responsible for the year-end festival. Has either the President or his aides been in touch with you?
9. When an expletive construction ( there is, there are, here is , etc.) begins a sentence, the subject (which determines the number of the verb) comes after the verb. There are several explanations for the Civil War. We were looking down the street when —all of a sudden — here come Joe and his two brothers. If the management team takes this attitude, there is very little latitude for negotiation.
10. Be careful when lengthy or numerous modifying phrases come between the subject and its verb. Tim Berners-Lee, one of America’s most prominent computer scientists and —as a founder of the World Wide Web Consortium — one of the most important figures in the development of the Internet, has been working quietly at M.I.T. for many years. The fact that the plural “scientists” and “figures” appear in this sentence has no effect on our choice of a singular verb, “has.”
11. With “of phrases,” try turning the sentence “inside-out” to find the right subject-verb combination. Connecticut is one of those states that HAVE/HAS adopted a state income tax. Turn this around to . . . . Of those states that have adopted a state income tax, Connecticut is one. This makes it easy to figure out the verb that belongs in a relative clause . ?
12. Review the rest of the material on subject-verb agreement in the Guide to Grammar and Writing and don’t forget to take the relevant quizzes listed on the List of Interactive Quizzes . The “sore thumb of grammar” will never be seen in your writing again! CONGRATULATIONS!
