About Chris Waterworth
I've been teaching in primary schools for over 10 years now and have used technology in my classrooms since the very beginning. I believe in a cross-curricular and social approach to learning. Children need to talk, to play, to fail and to have opportunities to refine their work.
Technology is enabling children to do this in real-time and I believe we are on the edge of something amazing in education – a new chapter in what schools will look like and how children will become outstanding learners.
The use of quick, mobile technology available at home and in classrooms is gaining speed and I firmly believe that by flipping your classroom is a way to truly personalise the learning experience for the children in your classroom.

Supporting Teachers to Support Students-Misaligned incentives, Media and Lear...Dominik Lukes
Talk presented at Media and Learning 2022
What is more effective? Supporting teachers to improve their teaching, or students to become more productive in making the most out of the teaching they receive? This is a question many university centres for teaching are grappling with. On the one hand, their remit is to focus on building the skills of their teaching staff. But on the other hand, students often lack skills in dealing with content that are wrongly assumed to be ‘natural’.
This presentation will contrast two guides created to support the use of multimedia: one for academics creating instructional videos and one for students accessing recorded lectures. This comparison will show that the guides show relatively little overlap because the needs of creators and viewers of multimedia may not be perfectly aligned. I will discuss ways in which this disparity could be addressed both individually and institutionally.
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.
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.
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.
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.

2. WHY MAKE TEACHER VIDEOS?
90% of all communication is non verbal.
Research shows that if we have a teacher or
representation of the teacher such as a video,
picture or even an avatar giving us feedback or
directions, we are more engaged and thus
retain more learning.
The teacher student relationship is critical to
the motivation and engagement of the student.
The visual representation builds those
relationships.
Sometimes written feedback can seem
impersonal and dry.
3. WHY MAKE YOUR OWN VIDEOS?
Increase engagement
Increase prior knowledge or remediate opportunities
Ensure student understanding
Communicate with students
Connect with parents
Individualize for student’s special needs.
4. WHY MAKE YOUR OWN VIDEOS?
INCREASE ENGAGEMENT
When you are starting a new unit, it is a great idea to
get the students engaged by modeling for them your
excitement in the topic!
5.
6. WHY MAKE YOUR OWN VIDEOS?
INCREASE PRIOR KNOWLEDGE OPPORTUNITIES
Before you start a unit, it is a good idea to model for the
students the kinds of skills you would like them to be able
to do when they are done with the unit.
9. WHY MAKE YOUR OWN VIDEOS?
ENSURE STUDENT UNDERSTANDING
When reviewing a students paper or work, you can
make a video of your feedback to that student with
questions that may have come up that you would like
them to address.
10.
11. WHY MAKE YOUR OWN VIDEOS?
COMMUNICATE WITH STUDENTS
Teacher videos embedded in an email or posted
on your class website are a great way to
• post announcements,
• give information about an upcoming
fieldtrip, or
• a heads up about the upcoming weeks
activities and expectations, or
• perhaps just to congratulate the class on a job
well done!
12. WHY WOULD YOU CREATE YOUR OWN VIDEOS?
CONNECT WITH PARENTS
You can also embed video into an email to your
parents to accomplish the same ends,
announcements of upcoming events, or to
emphasize a job well done.
13. WHY WOULD YOU CREATE YOUR OWN VIDEOS?
INDIVIDUALIZE FOR STUDENTS SPECIAL NEEDS
One of the most effective uses of teacher made
videos is to help a student with special needs
individualize for their disability.
