1) Wars often start due to disagreements and arguments that escalate, as illustrated by an anecdote about how World War 1 began after the assassination that sparked tensions.
2) Arguing can destroy relationships and leave people feeling regretful and upset. Benjamin Franklin realized this after a friend pointed out his argumentative nature was off-putting to others.
3) It is impossible to truly "win" an argument since convincing someone against their will does not change their view, and may make them resent the person arguing. The best approach is to avoid arguing and focus on understanding others through love, humility and compromise.

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.

Proverbs 15:1a
2. HOW DO WARS BEGIN?
A boy once asked his father, quot;Dad, how do wars begin?”
quot;Well, take the First World War,quot; said his father. quot;That got started when
Germany invaded Belgium.quot;
Immediately his wife interrupted him, quot;Tell the boy the truth! It began
because somebody was assassinated!”
The husband drew himself up with an air of superiority and snapped back,
quot;Are you answering the question or am I?quot;
Turning her back upon him in a huff, the
wife stormed out the room and slammed the
door as hard as she could!
When the dishes stopped rattling in the
cupboard an uneasy silence followed,
broken at length by the boy:
quot;Daddy, you don't have to tell me how
wars begin; I KNOW now!quot;
3. Arguing!
We all do it sometimes!
We all know what it is to
walk away from an
argument with the mouth
dry, tummy in a knot,
head hot and spinning,
and heart sick--wishing
that it had never
happened, deeply
regretting the unkind
words that were said!
Believe it or not, more
homes are destroyed by
arguments than by fires
or funerals!
4. We all know that arguing for the sake of
arguing is a pointless waste of time!
We have absolutely NOTHING to gain, and
our time, energy and someone's friendship
to LOSE!
It is said that the only people who really
LISTEN to an argument are the neighbors!
Some people love to For others, arguing has
argue, and will do become a HABIT, an
anything to prove automatic reaction of
their point! They'd saying something
rather lose a friend contradictory to
than an argument! whatever is being said!
5. A LESSON FROM
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN
One compulsive arguer was the early American statesman,
philosopher and author, Benjamin Franklin. As a youth he
loved nothing more than a good argument until a close
friend took him aside and said,
quot;Ben, you are impossible! Your opinions have a slap in them
for everyone who differs with you! Your friends enjoy
themselves better when you are not around! You think you
KNOW so much that no one can TELL you anything.
Indeed, no one is going to try, for the effort would only lead
to discomfort and hard work!
So you are not likely ever to know any more than you do
now--which is actually very LITTLE!quot;
6. Ben Franklin was BIG enough and WISE enough to
accept these stinging truths, and to realize that he was
headed for failure and social disaster! So he immediately
began to change his bigoted, argumentative ways!
He became one of the best loved, wisest and most
diplomatic men in American history, and was actually
remembered for saying:
quot;If you argue and rankle and
contradict, you may achieve a
victory sometimes.
But it will be an empty victory,
because you will never get your
opponent's good will!quot;
7. NO ONE ever really wins an argument!
You can shout and scream and argue until you're blue
in the face, but people are not going to believe that you
are right unless they WANT to believe it!
And even if they would LIKE to agree with you, your tone
may have put them so much on the defensive that it would
be like an utter humiliation, a defeat on the battlefield, for
them to confess you're right or even partly right!
And remember, Nine times out
no amount of of ten, an
logic or argument ends
argument will with each side
make anyone more firmly
change his mind convinced than
if he doesn't ever that he is
want to! absolutely right!
8. You can't win an argument,
because if you lose it, you lose it!--
And if you WIN it, you LOSE it!
Why?
Well, suppose you triumph over the other
person and shoot his argument full of holes
and prove that he's an absolute idiot.
Then what?
You'll feel fine, smug and satisfied. But what about
him? You'll have made him feel inferior. You've hurt
his pride. He may resent your triumph,
and…
quot;A man convinced against his
will, is of the same opinion still!quot;
9. quot;WHAT CAUSES FIGHTS AND QUARRELS
AMONG YOU?quot;
…. “Don't they come from your lusts and desires that battle within
you? You want something, but don't get it...so you quarrel and fight.”
--James 4:1-2.
So greediness and selfishness can be one of the root causes of
arguing, trying to get the things you selfishly want.
Other arguments are caused by PRIDE. Proverbs 13:10 says,
“Only by PRIDE come quarrels, but wisdom is found in
those who take advice.”
Also, as we've clearly seen, many arguments are
caused by SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS.--Pushing your
point, thinking that you're so right, putting yourself up
and the other person down by contradicting them!
10. And what it all boils down
to is a lack of LOVE!
Arguing isn't the real problem, that's just a SYMPTOM!
--A LACK OF LOVE is the REAL problem!
That's one of the major lessons that God wants us to learn--
how to LOVE people, how to work with them, how to treat them,
how to give the other person the advantage and the benefit of
the doubt, how to build them up unselfishly, instead of selfishly
tearing them down through contention and argument!
All this is a part of LEARNING TO LOVE,
to put ourselves in other people's shoes,
to quot;do unto others as you would have them do unto you!”
--Matthew 7:12.
11. Jesus can give you the solutions,
change your heart and spirit, fill
you with His Spirit of Love, joy,
peace, patience, kindness,
goodness, faithfulness,
gentleness and self-control.--
Galatians 5:22.
HE can give you the strength and
grace to LOVE and NOT argue!--
So stay close to HIM!
Love, Humility and Prayer solve all problems!
