The document discusses 10 TED Talks that could transform teaching practices by addressing topics like the changing nature of knowledge, evaluating curriculum, developing transferable skills in students, making interdisciplinary connections, engaging in creative problem solving, and transforming one's teaching approach. It provides guidelines for utilizing TED Talks in the classroom and examples of projects students could complete in response to the talks.
We know that learning is a process, beyond the knowledge itself. A book by itself isn’t much learning, but discussing it, applying it, arguing with it, and writing your own definitely is. In other words, ‘playing with it.’
In this slidedeck, we will gather some definitions and examples of playful learning and then we’ll ask some challenging questions of them, and how we can start thinking about corporate eLearning from the position of ‘play.’ Be prepared to discuss eLearning projects you've seen, and ideas you have to share on learning by playing.
Key takeaways:
-How gamified eLearning appeals to broader learner types.
-The relationship between playful learning and fostering creativity.
-Questions to ask yourself when designing eLearning to make it more playful.
-What techniques you can apply to make eLearning more playful.

The Creative Teen: Sparking, Harnessing, and Directing Creativity in the Clas...Willy Wood
Creativity, Flexibility, and Entrepreneurship are going to be the keys for students as the move into the 21st century. Yet schools, with their narrow focus on prescribed standards and testing, downplay all of these. Do you really want your students to be creative? Creativity is a process, and it can be taught. The ability to become a creative thinking is within all of your students. Emphasize it, teach it, allow it--and your students will blossom!
Keynote presentation for Design for Collaborative Learning: Current Trends and Pedagogy” subtitled “Making Space for Change” at the B.C. CEFPI Annual Conference of school planners and architects. I was asked to provide a birds-eye view of the new B.C. Ministry of Education curriculum, talk about it in the context of collaboration and speak to the implications for the design and use of physical space.
The other evening I had a wonderful opportunity to spend about 70 minutes with a group of 40ish first and second year teachers in my area. I was asked to come in and help them with some ideas around engagement. At first, I was really struggling with this concept because there are so many deeper issues that lead to students not being engaged in the classroom. While I am not able to solve the problems for each educator, I did try to curate a hands on session that challenged their thinking about simple and free approaches to rethink how we allow students to express learning.
The intended outcome was to have beginning teachers will know and be able to select strategies to engage students and increase motivation.

Dcla13 discourse, computation and context – sociocultural dclaSimon Knight
My DCLA13 talk at LAK13 in Leuven. The images should all be CC licensed with links provided in the speaker notes on the slides.
I'd recommend looking at the other slides from this session (see http://www.solaresearch.org/events/lak/lak13/dcla13/ ) particularly those on context - this presentation provides a theoretical perspective on context, which some of the other presentations were showing really interesting examples of in empirical (and well theorised) work.
Essential questions provide a rich, meaningful way to frame global learning experiences for students. They open doors to inquiry and invite students to truly grapple with the complex issues of the global curriculum. In this session, we will explore what makes a question essential and how to transform a good essential question into a great one. We will closely examine the ISSN Essential Question Matrix – a menu of high quality essential questions addressing 15 globally significant issues across all grade levels and content areas – and explore a variety of specific ways to use them to enhance global learning in our classrooms and schools.
This presentation presents common issues and potential solutions for meeting the needs of gifted students in schools. It was designed as a presentation for the Educational Summit at Heidelberg University.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

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.
Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
3. What makes an idea
worth spreading?
Are we spreading those ideas in our classrooms?
4. The Importance of
Knowledge?
❖ The concept of going to school for knowledge is kind of
quaint.
❖ 65% of preschoolers will have jobs that do not exist today.
❖ 50% of material learned in the first year of a college science
degree will be obsolete by the time the students graduate.
Jim Carroll
5. Curriculum Evaluation
❖ Honorable: Is it worth their time? Could they easily look
up the information? Does it honor the world we live in and
the students we teach?
❖ Transferrable: Is it teaching a thought process? Could this
idea be adjusted to apply in other areas? Are we explicitly
teaching this transfer?
❖ Transformational: Will it change the world? Will it
change the students’ perspective?
❖ Beneficial: Will it make the world better? Is it useful?
❖ Exciting: Does it engage the students? Does it inspire
students to think about how they want to use their talents?
14. Teaching this lesson allowed me to experience the power of a TED
Talk. I have students who went home and looked up TED Talks
about topics they were interested in, and I had one student bring
headphones to school so he could watch one about his modern
explorer during in-class research time. Considering that I did not give
students much background information about TED Talks and I did not
actually encourage them to check them out on their own (which
maybe I should have!), I have been amazed at the positive response
students have shown. I was excited when I learned that my students
were actually pursuing TED Talks outside of class! Originally, I was
concerned that TED Talks might be too advanced for my 5th grade
class. However, my students enjoyed it, and they understood most of
it. Now, I am exploring the TED Talk website to find other talks that
relate to topics we study so that I can include them in more lessons in
the future.

• Communication and Collaboration
26. Possible Student Projects
• Ideas: Identify the interdisciplinary concepts in this talk. You may use the
Transferrable Concepts List to help guide your thinking. Then give
several examples of this concept in two other disciplines.
• Solutions: What other fields would benefit from his/her ideas? How might
the ideas be adjusted to improve this other discipline? Find someone in
another field that would benefit, and construct a letter informing him/
her how this idea might benefit his/her work.
• Pretend you watched this talk with ____________ (famous person from your
current unit of study) and ______________ (famous person from another
field). What do you think they would talk about after the talk?
• No ideas are born in a vacuum. What do you think inspired this person?
What other ideas from other fields added to this person’s new idea?
• Create your own TED conference. Who would you invite? What would be an
overall theme of the conference? What lecture would you want to give?

32. Student Projects
Speaker CPS
Evaluate how the speaker solves the problem. What steps does he/she
take? Would you have done it any differently? Was it effective? Why?
Missing steps: What steps did the speaker neglect? Why do you think
they were left out? Write a letter to the speaker to ask for further
clarification on their problem solving experiences.
Student CPS
Using the CPS framework, create another possible solution for the
presented problem. Create a presentation for the building acceptance
portion.
Inevitably solving one problem brings to light several others. Examine
potential problems that the speakers’ solution will trigger. Using the
CPS framework, think though several possible solutions to this new
problem.
