Slides from my teacher training presentation about giving students choice at International House Budapest Teacher Training Conference. Summary at www,jamesegerton.wordpress.com
As the world becomes more connected, we have greater access to information than we could have thought possible only a few years ago. This has had a tremendous impact on education, and English teaching is no exception. From greater education and training requirements to a growing emphasis on the use of technology both in and outside the classroom, how can teachers keep up with the pace of change? This talk will discuss current and future trends in teaching and give teachers ideas about how they can stay informed and professionally up-to-date in today’s fast-paced world.
What are the benefits and challenges of using Open Educational Resources (OER)? This presentation will outline five benefits and five challenges and provide a quick glimpse into the possible future of OER.
This PowerPoint presents information on a web 2.0 tool,
Socrative, that I am conducting research on. It is open source and I have integrated it well in several lesson I have done at the secondary and tertiary level.
Web based learning includes courses offered by postsecondary organizations that are 100% virtual, barring greatly open online courses. Web based learning, or virtual classes offered over the web, is appeared differently in relation to conventional courses taken in a physical school building

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.

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.

3. Peercasting: Students Produce Math Support at NC Middle School
How It Works
1. Algebra I students learn the
material in the conventional
way.
2. Students then make podcasts to
help other students learn.
3. The podcasts are available
during school hours on grant
funded Apple iPod Touches.
4. Struggling students learn the
material in a comfortable
environment!
4. Peercasting: Students Produce Math Support at NC Middle School
The Facts
Uses the concept of peer tutoring, with a
technological twist.
“To me, sitting somewhere on your own,
watching an iPod tutorial, is much better
than sitting with an AP student who is
trying to explain concepts to you.” says
teacher Nancy Trollinger.
The podcasts only take about 15 minutes
to make!
5. Peercasting: Students Produce Math Support at NC Middle School
In My Opinion
Students won’t be bored with the
typical means of tutoring
Students learn how new technologies
can be in the classroom as well as for
fun
Teachers have a second, third, and
forth way of teaching required
material.
6. Florida Districts Use Online Gaming in Summer Programs
How it Works
Games in a 3-D environment for
grades 3-12
Players carry out multi-layer
missions
When obstacles are solved,
points are earned allowing the
students to move further in the
game.
7. Florida Districts Use Online Gaming in Summer Programs
The Facts
Students are literally begging
their parents to attend more
sessions!
“Our students commented that
they never knew they could have
this much fun at summer school,"
said Janet Boatman, math
supervisor at the schools.
8. Florida Districts Use Online Gaming in Summer Programs
In My Opinion
Students are learning in a way that
they are having fun, which is what
summer is all about!
Students should retain the
information better, making them
learn other material easier!
Teachers get the material covered
in a fast and fun manner!
9. Videoconferencing Engages Students in Mobile County Public Schools
How It Works
Alabama’s governor made a new
program to allow students to “take”
classes at schools all over the state.
Teachers host a videoconference
and students join.
Students attend the classes and
receive the needed credits toward
their diplomas.
10. Videoconferencing Engages Students in Mobile County Public Schools
The Facts
Provides students all over
Alabama to receive access to
advanced classes.
Helps to fill teacher vacancies
and allow students to get the
best education that they can.
Helps save money by not
having to hire a teacher to
teach gifted classes at every
school.
11. Videoconferencing Engages Students in Mobile County Public Schools
In My Opinion
Students are getting the best of both
worlds. If they live in rural areas,
they aren’t behind the learning curve
for colleges.
It allows for large class sizes, but still
makes it seem like students are
getting one on one attention.
All students in the state can have the
opportunity to take any class offered
at any school.
I would love the opportunity to see
one of these classes, and maybe one
day host one!
12. In Conclusion
There are a variety of ways
that technology is making
it’s way into the classroom.
Students have more
opportunities to learn
different ways and that will
help them in the long run!
Learning these
technologies while in public
schools will help them be
ready for the work force, or
college!
