Teaching Is Not A Dirty Word

In this talk we will look at the role of the teacher in a 21st century student-centered learning environment, and in particular how this role can be powerfully enhanced with interactive technology such as IWBs. If modern classrooms are all about making learners more responsible for their own learning, what are the essential skills that every teacher needs to bring to that environment? How do we find the right teaching/learning balance? And what role can technology play in helping us find this balance?

As teachers we all have an enormous responsibility......every single day; we take on the important task of nurturing the impressionable minds of future generations. But what does it take to be an outstanding teacher? What does "peak performance" look like for an educator? In particular, what skills, attitudes and beliefs are helpful to us if we want to be the best teachers we can be? When you look at what great teachers do, there is always a common thread....a collection of core qualities that they all seem to possess, so how do we learn to deliberately cultivate these?

These are the slides from the ActivInspire Flipchart I used for the 2010 IWBNet conference on the Gold Coast. Despite their rapid adoption in schools all over the world, the effectiveness and value of IWB technology is still viewed with considerable controversy. Can they make a real difference to teaching and learning, or are they just another expensive gimmick. The answer, it seems, is completely up to you. In this keynote we explore some of the controversy, myths and hype surrounding IWBs so you can make up your own mind.

The Myth of the Digital Native

Chris Betcher

Our kids are supposed to be the Digital Natives, the ones that inherently understand all this technology stuff. After all, they've grown up with technology and live with it every day! We talk a lot about how fluent our students are with technology, but are they really? In this keynote we'll think about some of the realities of technology use in schools, and try to get a clearer perspective about our roles in the learning process.

Change, Creativity, Curriculum and Community

Chris Betcher

The world has changed (a lot) and if we can't adapt we run the risk of becoming irrelevant and replaced. Creativity, and looking at the world in new ways will be what helps us thrive in this new world, where so many of the existing skills are being automated or shipped offshore. The curriculum that is supposed to provide opportunities for creativity often lacks the real teeth to do so and our job as contemporary educators is to make sure that creativity, innovation and thinking different are highly valued and rewarded in our classrooms, even if the system in general doesn't measure and support these things. We need to ensure that we do great things with kids in spite of the system. Finally, the impetus for maintaining our motivation and our understanding of the changing world can only come from surrounding ourselves with networks of like-minded people that can support us in our work every day.

Jude: Practical Exhortations_Jude 17-23.pptx

Stephen Palm

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

MartaLoveguard

Slide 1: Title: Exploring the Mindfulness: Understanding Its Benefits Slide 2: Introduction to Mindfulness Mindfulness, defined as the conscious, non-judgmental observation of the present moment, has deep roots in Buddhist meditation practice but has gained significant popularity in the Western world in recent years. In today's society, filled with distractions and constant stimuli, mindfulness offers a valuable tool for regaining inner peace and reconnecting with our true selves. By cultivating mindfulness, we can develop a heightened awareness of our thoughts, feelings, and surroundings, leading to a greater sense of clarity and presence in our daily lives. Slide 3: Benefits of Mindfulness for Mental Well-being Practicing mindfulness can help reduce stress and anxiety levels, improving overall quality of life. Mindfulness increases awareness of our emotions and teaches us to manage them better, leading to improved mood. Regular mindfulness practice can improve our ability to concentrate and focus our attention on the present moment. Slide 4: Benefits of Mindfulness for Physical Health Research has shown that practicing mindfulness can contribute to lowering blood pressure, which is beneficial for heart health. Regular meditation and mindfulness practice can strengthen the immune system, aiding the body in fighting infections. Mindfulness may help reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes and obesity by reducing stress and improving overall lifestyle habits. Slide 5: Impact of Mindfulness on Relationships Mindfulness can help us better understand others and improve communication, leading to healthier relationships. By focusing on the present moment and being fully attentive, mindfulness helps build stronger and more authentic connections with others. Mindfulness teaches us how to be present for others in difficult times, leading to increased compassion and understanding. Slide 6: Mindfulness Techniques and Practices Focusing on the breath and mindful breathing can be a simple way to enter a state of mindfulness. Body scan meditation involves focusing on different parts of the body, paying attention to any sensations and feelings. Practicing mindful walking and eating involves consciously focusing on each step or bite, with full attention to sensory experiences. Slide 7: Incorporating Mindfulness into Daily Life You can practice mindfulness in everyday activities such as washing dishes or taking a walk in the park. Adding mindfulness practice to daily routines can help increase awareness and presence. Mindfulness helps us become more aware of our needs and better manage our time, leading to balance and harmony in life. Slide 8: Summary: Embracing Mindfulness for Full Living Mindfulness can bring numerous benefits for physical and mental health.
