This document provides nutrition tips for teens. It discusses that teens are interested in nutrition for appearance, health, and athletic performance reasons. It recommends that teens drink plenty of water and limit sugary drinks. Teens should eat at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables each day for vitamins and fiber. They should also eat whole grain breads and cereals for healthy carbohydrates. The goal is to maintain a healthy weight through balanced nutrition and physical activity rather than extreme dieting or overexercise.

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.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.
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.

Editor's Notes
Today we will discuss the challenges of eating right during the teen years. We will cover some of the unique issues facing teens and give a few basic ideas about how a teen can make wise choices to achieve their full growth and health potential.
To begin, do you know why a teenager would ever be interested in nutrition when there is so much else to think about? (Let audience give reasons they think a teen would be interested.)
Most teens become interested in nutrition either because they want to improve their appearance by gaining or losing weight or they think eating or drinking certain foods and beverages will improve their athletic performance. While good nutrition can enhance your genetic potential to be attractive and support hard work to be a good athlete, it is not magic. What it can do is improve a teen’s chances to be healthy and remain healthy the rest of his or her life.
But guys and girls tend to be interested in nutrition for different reasons. That doesn’t mean a girl can’t be interested in sports or a guy interested in looking good, but in general girls become interested in nutrition because they want to control their weight. In contrast, guys often want to get strong and bigger so they can do better athletically. Nutrition can help a teen achieve both goals but some teens get carried away and go too far using fad diets or nutritional supplements that really do more harm than good. Good nutrition isn’t based on extremes, it is based on variety and moderation. (Give out and review Food Guide Pyramid here) Do you know of some extreme diets or nutrition supplements that teens are using to enhance their appearance or performance? (List on a flip chart and discuss why these may be harmful or just a waste of time and money.)
Body type is inherited. Most girls have certain parts of their body that are more shapely than others. A teen can use diet and exercise to make those parts look the best possible, but basic body shape pretty much remains the same. Unfortunately many girls think that any fat on their bodies is unattractive. Girls naturally develop a layer of fat during adolescence that is needed for normal sexual development. Without at least 17% body fat, girls will not have normal menstrual periods. Some people might see this as great, but in reality it is not. Without normal hormone levels, a teen put her bones at risk for developing osteoporosis prematurely. She may also hurt her heart or other organs. Being constantly hungry, makes a teen less able to concentrate and more likely to be irritable and unable to handle stress well. For teens, diet is a 4-letter word. Sure teens need to choose more nutritious food and exercise moderately on a regular basis, but food and exercise should not become the center of their lives where they miss out on activities or interactions with family and friends that will make life enjoyable and rich.
Guys often are concerned because they are not developing as fast as some of their friends. They want to be good basketball or football players. Of they just are tired of being picked on by the other guys. Unfortunately Mother Nature doesn’t always cooperate as fast as they would like. While the girls begin shooting up and blossoming at age 9-11, guys may not even begin adolescent changes until they are 14 or 15. They may still be growing in their late teens, long after a girl has fully matured. The real problem that athletic boys often face is that their coach wants they to be bigger and more muscular before their bodies are ready. So the guys overeat on high fat foods trying to gain weight and bulk up. The fact is that most guys don’t even put on much muscle until they have hit their final height so all that overeating just sets up bad eating habits that will be hard to shake once they are no longer as active. All the steaks and milk shakes in the world will not make anyone more muscular than nature and training allow.
The goal for all teens is to achieve a healthy weight. For someone who is still growing that means a steady increase in weight that is proportional to their height. For those already at their final height, this means the weight that they maintain when eating a variety of healthy foods and being physically active for 30 minutes at least 5 days a week. The goal is to be Fit not just Thin. How many of you think you are at a healthy weight right now? (Let audience raise hands to answer.)
So to achieve this healthy weight and to be as fit as possible what should a teen do? (Write down responses from the audience on a flip chart. Discuss as appropriate.)
First of all, make every drink count. Many teens drink very little milk and too many soft drinks. Also they may drink alcohol, which is not only illegal, but dangerous when abused. Plus alcohol adds a lot of empty calories and often is accompanied by other foods low in nutrition. Instead teens need at least 3 and preferably 4 cups of milk or other dairy products per day. One cup of skim milk only has 100 calories which equals just one light beer or 8 ounces of regular soft drink. Beyond that teens also need a minimum of 4 more cups of fluid which can be juice or water. Watch the juice, however, one 4-6 ounce serving is plenty if you are watching calories.
Fluids are especially important if a teen is involved in active sports. Before the event, the teen should drink at least 2 cups of water. Then during the event, the teen should drink at least 4 more ounces of water every half hour. This water should be cool not cold so that it can be absorbed well. Sports drinks may be beneficial if the event requires a lot of endurance and lasts more than an hour. If weight is lost after an event, this weight is water weight and must be replenished with 2 cups of fluid for every pound lost. Weight loss should be prevented if possible by frequent consumption of fluids during the sporting event.
It may sound boring but 5 or more servings of fruit and vegetables do seem to promote good health. They are packed with vitamins, minerals and other substances that seem to reduce risk for heart disease, cancer and other chronic diseases. Since they are naturally low calorie and full of fiber, they help us feel full and help control our weight. Many also help with our fluid needs. Five servings may sound like a lot but keep in mind that one serving is only a half cup or one small piece of fruit. A half cup is only the size of the average teenage girl’s palm.
Along with the fruits and vegetables, whole grain breads and cereals seem to be the secret of good health. Again they are full of fiber, vitamins and minerals and depending how you serve them they can be relatively low in fat and calories. Depending on body size, a teen needs 6-11 servings. That sounds like a lot but again one serving is the size of a girl’s palm. Believe me, most teens are getting much more than that with their pizza slices and tacos.
Many Americans eat too much protein. And along with some of those protein sources comes a lot of fat especially saturated fat that is bad for our cholesterol levels. Yes, even teens have the beginning signs of cardiovascular disease. All of us need to choose smaller portions of lean meat, fish and skinless poultry. Again that girl’s palm is the guide. We also need to choose lower fat sources of milk and cheese and substitute beans, peas, peanut butter, nuts and seeds and soy products for some of the animal protein we currently eat. We need a plant-based diet, not necessarily a vegetarian diet, to improve our health.
Finally, teens and all Americans need to watch the extra calories from those low nutrient foods we call junk. We especially need to choose better when we eat out. Fast food is fine occasionally but when it is the main part of someone’s diet, a lot of fat and sodium and too little fruits and vegetables and dairy products will be consumed. Some fast food restaurants do offer some better items like salads, low fat milk, baked potatoes and grilled chicken sandwiches. The challenge is not being tempted by those other items that are not so hot. Knowing before walking into the restaurant what to order tends to reduce those temptations.
So lets review what we learned today. First, all teens are unique and have their own rate of development and growth which good nutrition can support. Second, strict dieting is harmful to a teens mental and physical well-being. Third, being fit not necessarily thin is the main goal for good health. Fourth, choosing the appropriate food and beverages will make a difference in how you feel, how you look and how you perform. That means making every drink count, eating at least 5 servings of fruit and vegetables a day, substituting whole grain breads and cereals for processed flour and cereals, eating small amouts of lower fat protein foods, and limiting the junk.
