Eurocall 2014 - Teens designing their own EFL learning activities
Using iPads, teenagers designed their own language learning activities over a 9-month course. They created games, songs, and videos using apps to practice vocabulary and grammar. The iPads engaged the students and allowed innovative activity designs. However, there was no evidence the activities changed learning behaviors outside class. The teacher found the process useful to identify new activity ideas and the importance of motivating students with meaningful "why" questions.

The use of technology to teach and learn English
This document discusses the use of technology to teach and learn English as a foreign or second language. It begins by outlining the objectives of identifying both traditional and new technologies used in language teaching and determining how to effectively implement technologies in the classroom. It then defines technology integration in education as utilizing various technologies like computers, the internet and mobile devices to enhance student learning. Several traditional and new technological tools are listed and reasons for integrating technology like keeping students engaged are provided. Ways technology can be used in the language classroom through activities involving video, multimedia, and computer-assisted language learning are then explored, alongside some drawbacks. The document concludes by discussing the role of teachers in planning, adapting, monitoring and assessing technology-enhanced language learning

We conceive TELEs (technology-enhanced learning environments) as interactive spaces that positively influence the learning attitude. These learning environments are equipped with technological resources and tools that, with the help of a teacher, facilitate the acquisition of knowledge and skills. That is to say that the teacher is one of the main actors in these spaces, and such spaces do not substitute them.
We present two implementations of such spaces. A set of mobile applications combined with NFC (Near Field Communication) technology allow us to overlay interactivity in everyday learning environments. NFC is a short range wireless technology which permits storing data in sticker-like devices and reading the stored data with NFC enabled phones by approaching the phone to the sticker. NFC enables adding multimedia content to interactive spaces – the data read from an NFC tag can trigger multimedia content to be played on a mobile phone. Using this technology, an application in a mobile device can propose tasks that a pupil can solve by interacting with objects around.
We have organized two pilot studies with two groups of children. Both studies have been designed and implemented by an interdisciplinary team formed by researchers from the fields of Computer Science and Education. Teachers participated actively in the studies as well.
O ur school journey 2011 final
Our school has come a long way in integrating technology over the past several years. We started with afterschool workshops and conferences to increase teacher professional development in ICT. Teachers then began collaborating more and sharing knowledge, resources, and ideas for using technology in planning and the classroom. The school also improved its use of ICT for documentation, budgets, communication with families, and more. Students now use technology widely to support learning across subjects, develop skills, research, illustrate concepts, and collaborate globally. Teachers are now more confident using various technologies and students are highly engaged. While the beginning was overwhelming, we have grown comfortable with ICT and continue moving forward in our journey.

Technology to Support the Whole Child
This document discusses how technology can be used to support the whole child across different developmental domains in early childhood education. It outlines several domains - language/literacy, mathematics, science, social studies, creative arts, social-emotional, and positive approaches to learning. Examples are provided of technologies like computers, interactive whiteboards, tablets, and multi-touch tables that can engage children in activities to develop skills in these domains. The document emphasizes using scaffolding techniques when integrating technology to purposefully support children's learning. It concludes with an example schedule of a technology-supported day in an early childhood program.
Technologyintegration
The document discusses technology integration in K-12 classrooms. It defines technology integration as using technology to support instruction across content areas in a way that engages students and enhances learning. Effective technology integration is part of daily classroom activities, supports curriculum objectives, and allows students to demonstrate their learning creatively. In contrast, merely taking students to a computer lab or using technology as a reward is not true integration. The document provides examples of how teachers can integrate technology at different stages of a lesson to support instruction.
Technology grade 2
The document discusses technology tools that can be used in a 2nd grade classroom to support the Common Core standards. It introduces Pixie software that allows students to write, illustrate, and create multimedia projects like books, videos, and audio recordings.

Stem or steam – setting the scene
This session uses current research on STEM and its implementation in schools in various modes to then offer practical suggestions for how you incorporate STEM or STEAM into a teaching unit
Applying technology in the classroom2
Technology in the classroom allows students to become more interactive and develop skills like problem solving and independent thinking. It creates a deeper understanding of curriculum by engaging students and having them take an active role. Technology can be used to differentiate instruction by allowing students to learn at their own pace and level. It also helps address different learning styles and increases student motivation and self-esteem by making learning more interactive, creative, and hands-on. Educators should apply technology in lessons to hook students, help them understand and apply material, and connect learning to the real world.
Scaffolding Power Point
1. Scaffolding provides support to student learning and then gradually removes that support so students can learn independently. It guides students through modeling, prompting, thinking aloud, and questioning.
2. Scaffolding works by starting with basic knowledge and progressively moving to more advanced concepts within students' zone of proximal development.
3. Examples of scaffolding include parents teaching children to speak, helping sound out letters, and reading aloud with students.

Web App Scaffolding - FOWA London 2010
There's no denying that building web applications is non-stop glamor and excitement; nights filled with wild parties, surrounded by adoring fans and all the hot-pockets you can eat. But your application doesn't exist in a vacuum; there are a huge number of other technical bits that go into making a successful application - the scaffolding.
In this session, we'll talk about many of the most useful bits of scaffolding we can use to help us build stuff better, faster and more effectively. So that you can spend more time posting to hacker news about the awesome map-reduce framework you just wrote in erlang.
Using Secondlife In Esl 2
This document discusses using the virtual world of Second Life to help teach English pronunciation, intonation patterns, and basic conversational skills to ESL students. It outlines the learning outcomes and vocabulary topics covered in an EAP course. Students would progress through scaffolding assignments of individually creating avatars, practicing directions, and finally collaborating to create a vacation movie using the language. Some challenges are the technical aspects, while benefits include providing an immersive context for communication practice and student investment in their virtual identity.
Scaffolding reading and spelling skills (Green, Purple, Yellow)
Scaffolding reading and spelling skills (Green, Purple, Yellow)Read Australia (Wiring Brains Education)
The document provides instructions and activities for speech sound lessons, focusing on words made up of picture representations of speech sounds called "sound pics." Students practice identifying sounds, blending sounds to form words, and chanting lists of words containing a particular sound. A series of word lists incorporating different speech sounds is also included to be used in lessons.Intergrated approach
The document discusses an integrated approach to using ICT in education. It advocates for a constructivist learning approach that is student-centered, collaborative, authentic, and challenging. The teacher takes on the role of facilitator, manager, and evaluator who creates an interactive environment and asks open-ended questions to encourage student inquiry. The document provides steps for developing a curriculum integration strategy which includes forming a committee, conducting an ICT audit, identifying areas for improvement, implementing an action plan, and reviewing progress.
Vygotsky
The document discusses scaffolding as a teaching strategy based on Lev Vygotsky's zone of proximal development. Scaffolding provides temporary supports that are tailored to a student's abilities and allow them to accomplish tasks they cannot do independently. As students' skills increase, the supports are gradually removed. Effective scaffolds simplify tasks, provide guidance, reduce frustration, and model expectations so students can master new skills and become independent learners. Scaffolding has been used across different subject areas and educational approaches to facilitate learning.
Differentiation vs scaffolding
This document discusses differentiating instruction and scaffolding to meet the needs of different learners. It provides examples of differentiating instruction by changing the content, process, or student product. Scaffolding is described as adding support to help students who are struggling, and support is gradually removed as skills develop. Specific examples are given of differentiating a rhyming activity in a reading lesson and scaffolding it with think-alouds and stressing rhyming words. The document encourages grouping to discuss differentiating objectives in areas like vocabulary and comprehension while including scaffolding strategies.

1. The document discusses six scaffolding strategies that teachers can use in the classroom: show and tell, tap into prior knowledge, give time to talk, pre-teach vocabulary, use visual aids, and pause, ask questions, pause, review.
2. Scaffolding involves breaking learning into chunks and providing support tools with each chunk, such as modeling, connecting to prior experience, think-pair-shares, pre-teaching vocabulary, and checking for understanding through questioning.
3. These strategies help students develop skills they cannot yet master independently by providing appropriate levels of support within their zone of proximal development.

Scaffolding Thinking Skills HK2
1. Scaffolding refers to temporary support provided to learners during the learning process, allowing them to complete challenging tasks they couldn't otherwise do alone.
2. The document discusses different types of scaffolding including reception scaffolds to help understanding, transformation scaffolds to guide thinking, and production scaffolds to organize information.
3. It provides examples of scaffolds and recommends assessing places scaffolds could help learners in one's own web-based activities.
Scaffolding Technique
Scaffolding is an instructional technique where a teacher provides individual support to guide students as they learn new material, and then gradually reduces this support over time so that students can demonstrate self-reliance. The teacher provides tasks and assisted activities tailored to each student's current abilities to help them internalize new skills and concepts. Scaffolding can be used across different content areas, age groups, and skill levels to facilitate learning through verbal and nonverbal guidance.
Scaffolding
Scaffolding is a temporary structure used to provide access and a safe working platform for construction workers. The main types are putlog scaffolds, which use horizontal members called putlogs attached to a single row of uprights, and independent scaffolds, which have two rows of standards connected by cross members. Scaffolding can be made from tubular steel, aluminium alloy, or timber. Safety precautions include inspecting scaffolds regularly and ensuring all components are properly supported and assembled.
Scaffolding content and language
The document discusses the use of scaffolding in bilingual education programs. It describes some of the challenges schools face in their bilingual programs, including a lack of cooperation between language and content teachers. The author argues that effective bilingual education requires scaffolding content and language, as well as teacher training to achieve an integrated instructional approach. Scaffolding strategies like determining key vocabulary, structures and functions can help teachers design effective bilingual materials that support both language learning and content mastery.
Scaffolding
The document provides information on scaffolding safety training conducted by Mr. V N Parbhu at EERC Theramx Ltd. on September 24-25, 2012. It defines scaffolding and describes the main types of tubular scaffolding. It outlines the various parts of tubular scaffolding such as standards, ledgers, transoms, and couplers. The document discusses requirements for guardrails, toeboards, and access ladders on scaffolds. It also covers inspection procedures and checklists for competent persons, as well as applicable regulations from the Building and Other Construction Workers Act and Factories Act.
Scaffolding for esl students
This document provides tips for using scaffolding techniques to support English language learners. It recommends breaking complex tasks into smaller steps, reviewing past material, and using examples to demonstrate expectations. Teachers should also provide verbal clues, use real-world objects, employ graphic organizers, guide prediction, ask questions while reading, and connect new topics to students' prior knowledge and experiences. The goal is to make new information comprehensible by building on what students already know.

“Unlimited Learning” Event for National Summer Learning Day 2009
LANDOVER HILLS, MD -- New Hope Academy a parent-founded international pre-K to 12th grade school in Landover Hills is hosted an “Unlimited Learning” event as a part of National Summer Learning Day 2009 and a kick off to the schools 20th Anniversary. On July 9th the school hosted a FREE PUBLIC event featuring panelist talking about the “unlimited learning” opportunities summer learning can provide students. Panelist covered topics related to science, technology, engineering, mathematics, reading, languages and culture, virtual distance learning and support resources for parents.
“If kids aren’t learning over the summer, they fall behind academically,” says Joy Morrow, Principal, New Hope Academy. “Quality summer learning programs help kids get ahead while they explore new talents and discover the joy of learning something new. Students need extra time for learning, and quality summer programs offer that.”
During the week of July 6, cities around the country will hold events to raise awareness of the importance of high-quality summer learning opportunities in the lives of youth and their families. The week’s activities will culminate with Summer Learning Day on July 9, an annual national event organized by the National Center for Summer Learning to focus attention on how quality summer learning programs help close the achievement gap and promote healthy development.
In Landover Hills, Maryland, “Unlimited Learning” will provide parents an opportunity to speak with various leaders from around the area regarding the things they can do to provide their child a rich summer learning experience to prevent Summer Learning Day is sponsored by the National Center for Summer Learning at The Johns Hopkins University. (www.summerlearning.org)
This year, New Hope Academy joins summer learning advocates from across the country urging local school districts to spend some of the $100 billion for education in President Obama’s economic reinvestment and recovery package on summer learning programs. “The president has approved an unprecedented investment in education,” said Ron Fairchild, executive director of the National Center for Summer Learning. “Summer learning programs are a proven educational innovation that will close the achievement gap. This is a historic opportunity to use new public dollars for summer learning programs and help thousands more children achieve their full potential.”
Research shows that all children experience learning loss when they don’t engage in educational activities during the summer. Here are simple, low-cost things parents can do to make sure their children are active and engaged this summer:
SUMMER LEARNING TIPS:
HOW TO MAKE THE MOST OF SUMMER
The National Center for Summer Learning encourages parents to make the most of children's summer break with the following suggestions:
• Locate a summer program that fits your budget. Programs offered by schools, recreation centers, universities, and community-based organizations often have an educational or enrichment focus.
• The library is a great, free resource. Check out books that interest your child. Participate in free library summer programs and make time to read every day.
• Take free or low-cost educational trips to parks, museums, zoos and nature centers.
• If you are taking a day trip by car, choose a place with an educational theme. Camping is also is low-cost way to get outside and learn about nature.
• Practice math daily: Measure items around the house or yard. Track daily temperatures. Add and subtract at the grocery store. Learn fractions while cooking.
• Play outside. Limit TV and video games. Intense physical activity and exercise contribute to healthy development.
• Do a community service project. Teach your child how to volunteer in your community and show compassion to others.
• Keep a schedule. Continue daily routines duri

Multilingualism & pluriculturalism; key e-competences for global citizenship
Multilingualism and cultural pluralism are key competencies for developing global citizenship in the 21st century. Schools must educate students to be responsible participants in an increasingly diverse and interconnected world. This requires developing students' functional literacy with technology, media literacy, and cultural understanding to interact respectfully with those from different backgrounds. International collaborative learning projects can help students learn about other cultures while developing important social and communication skills for bridging differences in a global society.

Superficial Social Inclusion: Reflections from First-time Distance Learners
This document summarizes research on the experiences of first-time distance learners. Interviews were conducted with 20 first-time distance learners through weekly video diaries. The interviews revealed challenges with time management, workload, assignment writing, and digital literacy. Key findings include that distance learning enables education around other commitments but underestimates the reality of study demands. Learner stories also affirmed the importance of support during the first few weeks of study as well as a second at-risk phase. Regular interaction and reflection were found to help engagement during early study stages.
Thoughts and Ideas on the Role of the Librarian in the PYP
The librarian plays an important role in nurturing students as international-minded lifelong learners and readers in the PYP. The librarian fulfills three main roles: 1) Providing a welcoming environment that facilitates inquiry and promotes the IB learner profile. 2) Supporting teaching and learning through curated resources. 3) Collaborating with teachers to teach information literacy skills during units of inquiry. Examples show how the librarian can integrate these skills across grades to develop students' abilities to inquire using different sources. Both possibilities like technology and challenges like time and collaboration exist in fully realizing this vision of the librarian's role.

TESOL Seminar 4: Lisa Kervin ppt
This document discusses the relationship between technology and literacy pedagogy in Australian schools. It notes that schools have invested heavily in educational technology but questions how this influences teachers' literacy practices. The author aims to understand how teachers use technology for literacy, what skills are developed, and the dynamic relationship between technology and pedagogy. Activity theory is discussed as a framework for analyzing this complexity, with the teacher as the subject achieving literacy goals through tools like laptops and whiteboards. The document raises questions about whether technology enhances literacy or leads the way, and how synergies and tensions between technology, school culture and teaching practices can be understood.
Lisa Kervin: Abstract
This document discusses literacy pedagogy and the use of technology in classrooms. It begins by reviewing literature on how technology has been integrated into literacy education with mixed success. The document then examines the classroom practices of three teachers through the framework of activity theory to understand how technologies, pedagogy, and school culture interact. The researchers observed literacy lessons, interviewed teachers, and analyzed documents to develop case studies of each teacher. Their goal was to understand how technology fits with and may enhance established literacy practices.
TESOL Seminar 4 Agenda
Dr. Lisa Kervin from the University of Wollongong will present twice on literacy pedagogy and technology for ESL learners at the 2012 TESOL Seminar on Saturday, September 8th.

Evans High School Materials
The document discusses building noun groups to improve historical writing. It provides an example noun group that describes houses of ancient Egyptians in more detail than just "mud brick houses". The noun group includes descriptive adjectives and clauses about the mud-brick houses, including that they were hand made, from the Nile River mud, and had smaller rooms. Students are encouraged to practice building their own extended noun groups.
Evans High School Materials
The document discusses how to build noun groups to provide more detailed information in writing. It explains that a noun group can be a single word or expanded description, and gives the example of "The powerful King ruled over the entire society." The document encourages adding more nouns to writing to make it more informative when answering questions, such as describing how people in Medieval Europe were governed by "The King and the Church who ruled with absolute power."

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...
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
