A summary for BC Chile 2: E-Moderation: A Training Course for Online Tutors [June 2013]
The need to stay up to date on the latest developments in your field of study has never been more urgent. With increasing competition, stagnant unemployment and expected budget shortfalls every professional must be able to prove their value to the organization. The good news is that opportunities for learning are abundant and new advances in technology have produced a variety of options suitable for any budget or schedule. Still, resources are scarce and the pressure to make the most of every moment can derail many attempts to explore new learning experiences. This session will address steps you can take to get the most return out of your investment of time and money in professional development activities.

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.
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.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

and http://appinventor.mit.edu/explore/ai2/tutorials.html
10. SAMPLE ICEBREAKERS
• Postcard halves: Allocate half the number of postcards as the total number of participants.
Cut each card in half using zig-zag scissors or making a zig-zig cut. Mix up the cards &
distribute a half to each participant. Participants must then try to find their partner (the
person whose card matches up with theirs). Each partner interviews the other; then, all
participants present their partners to the rest of the group.
• Famous Person on your back: Put post-its or sticky notes with the name of a famous person
written on the back of each participant. Ask participants to walk around and as they do, their
fellow participants should try to act out or mime something which helps them to guess who
they have on their back. When they do guess, they can interview the person who helped
them figure it out. Then, all participants present their partners to the rest of the group.
• If I had a million Rupees: Ask participants to introduce themselves by giving their name,
grade/standard in school, expectation for the challenge, how they would spend a million
Rupees if they won such an amount. You can make a small bill and write "one million
Rupees" and pass this around as a prop.
• Dream trip: Same as above, but instead of how they would spend the money, where would
they go on their "Dream Trip".
• Deserted on an island: Ask participants to introduce themselves and as they do, tell their
fellow participants what they would want to have with them if they were deserted on an
island.
Women Enhancing Technology (WeTech) is a consortium of dedicated partners that has joined IIE to design and support a series of innovative activities to provide training, build networks and offer professional opportunities. WeTech helps women and girls enter and succeed in technology careers, with the goal of enhancing women’s talent and skills needed to fuel technological and economic growth.
Clinton Global Initiative 2013.
Core Activities and Goals
In the first phase of WeTech will:
1. Develop innovative and hands-on afterschool programs for secondary school girls in the U.S. and India, connecting them with role models and mentors in the tech sector, as well as hard skills such as mobile app development.
2. Establish a network of women engineering students in India who will gain access to scholarships, internships and leadership development.
3. Build a mentoring platform that will create a virtual community, connecting leading women in technology with university women as they transition from their studies into the tech workforce.
4. Launch the WeTech Seed Fund for Women + Girls in Computer Science in Africa that will award 30-50 small grants to individual women or NGOs to support and expand ongoing events and trainings for women and girls to raise their access to training and information on computer science-related studies and jobs.
In Technovation, girls work in teams to develop innovative mobile apps that solve problems in their local communities. Girls are supported by an advisor at their school or community site, as well as women mentors from the technology industry who teach them the basics of coding, user-interface design, market research and entrepreneurship. The program culminates in a World Pitch event each spring, where regional finalists compete to win $5000/ 10,000 in funding for their app.
Please note that the girls are expected to create the app on App Inventor platform. App Inventor is a use friendly platform and girls with no prior tech experience can work on this platform with ease. However, if the girls have knowledge of another app platform, the team can mutually decide on using the alternative.

Choose your school/team by February 7, 2014 – WeTech program manager will contact the team leads with the names of schools registered for TC. The team leads will share their top three choices in order of priority and we’ll try to match them based on their priority. However, given the overlap in priorities and other issues, we can’t commit that you’ll be match with your top choice.
Assigning teams to mentors: We’ll try our best to assign you the preferred team but no assurances.
The team session on Inauguration Day will be an opportunity for the team leads to get the girls, work on a tentative calendar and decide on how the team would communicate between the meetings
Discuss calendar with teams: Refer to slides 11-13
App themes for 2014 - these are general suggestions from TC but the teams are free to create apps for other compelling ideas
http://iridescentlearning.org/technovation2014/ this hyperlink is for the detailed TC curriculum available online
Lead by example be an active mentor – You are the project manager and leader for your team. Your leadership skills will keep the girls on track and enable them to meet deadlines
Manage team dynamics – a challenge for you can be working with different personalities- some students may be shy and other talkative. Try to establish “three-then-me” rule where each time a person talks she listens to three other people speak before speaking again
Stay neutral during discussion – At times you may experience tension ot arguing in the group. Manage conflict when they appear by helping each student share her concerns and feel heard without taking sides. While girls are brainstorming ideas, encourage them to make their own decisions and decide things by consensus whenever possible
Share your expertise – We encourage mentors to bring their own skills and talents into the mix. Share your skills in the context of team discussions and expose students to real projects through your conversations
Be a role model- As your team’s mentor, you are giving each student a window into your industry and what it is to be a women in that field. Get to know the girls, share your story with them, tell them about your career journey, your challenges and how you overcame them
Provide one-on-one interaction- Get to know each girl so that they feel connected and supported by you. Discuss their career goals and inspire them to explore opportunities
Encourage and inspire – Hearing you say: “I think you are really good at problem solving. Have you ever considered becoming an engineer?” is one of the most transformative experiences a girl can have in school. Hearing your feedback and encouragement about her strengths might just change her life.
