This document discusses how technology and diversity are changing community-based organizations and education. It argues that technology has revolutionized how students learn and connect with each other through online platforms. It also notes that community organizations have adapted to social media to reach more people. Both education and community programs are struggling with less funding from the government as more money goes to other priorities. It predicts that the US population will become more racially and ethnically diverse by 2060, requiring changes to address the needs of non-English speakers through technology and language classes.

ICT and OER have the potential for uplifting the quality of refugee education across the world. Sustainable education in refugee camps/settlements is difficult to achieve in many countries that host refugees. This is because most international agencies that come to aid of the refugees are mostly concerned with basic humanitarian assistance like health, food and shelter. Quality education is a key determinant of students� participation rates and achievement levels. It also remains an important ingredient towards attainment of social justice in terms of equity in educational quality for students. One contributing factor to quality education is availability of ICT infrastructure and quality OERs to create equity for many refugee learners in their camps. This paper describes how ICT and OER initiatives are appropriate tools for improving access, equity, and quality training and education of refugees in Dadaab refugee settlement schools in north eastern part of Kenya.

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.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

The Future of CBO's
1. The Future of
Community-Based Services
and Education
Peter Harrison
AET/508
March, 13 2017
Professor Elizabeth Franklin
2. Technology
Technology is the most important change in community based organizations and
education. In 2017 students can connect with each other across several platforms.
Almost everyone has a smartphone or tablet and it has changed the way we are
entertained, communicate, and learn.
3. Technology (Education)
Schools like University of Phoenix has revolutionized how we continue our
education. As a result many universities have started and will continue to grow
programs that allow learners to work online. Programs like Adobe connect has
changed the way curriculums are developed so they can be accessed virtually.
There has to be a change to meet the new standards of technology, “That requires
a willingness to rethink the traditional classroom setting and a willingness to
recreate the classroom curriculum”. (Kinnaman, 1995).
4. Technology (Community-Based Programs)
Community organizations have adapted to the world of social media. Twitter is one
of the most used social media platforms and even the President of the U.S. uses it
to communicate with the world. This has allowed them to be able to reach more
special populations and also build their network to find resources. Nonprofit
organizations, senior centers, and libraries are all examples of community-based
programs that have been able to take full advantage of the technological wave.
5. Funding (Education)
Majority of funding for education comes from the Dept of education. It starts at the
federal level and then each state and local government handle their individual
expenses. There are also private companies that fund educational programs and
training for their employees. Loans are also a way to get funding but leaves many
Americans in massive debt. Many nonprofit and local organizations are providing
free training and classes in certain fields for low income families.
6. Funding (Community-Based Programs)
Funding for most programs like libraries and community centers come from the
government. Same as with education it trickles down from federal, to state, then
the local level. Many programs are losing their funding because more is going to
medicaid and social security. Private funding is needed to keep many programs up
and running for seniors, veterans, and the disabled populations.
7. Diversity (Demographics)
❏ White Americans will go from 85% to 43% of the population by 2060.
❏ Half of all immigrants in America are Hispanic (20 million since 1965)
❏ Hispanic and Black Americans will make up 45% of the population by 2060.
(Restuccia,2014)
Spanish is the primary language in 38.3 million American homes.
(U.S. Census Bureau)
8. Diversity (Education)
The reality is that many new Americans speak Spanish or another language other
than English. This has to be addressed and many programs offer English and
computer training for free. There are technological advances like Google translate
that can be used to work online. I would like to see this tool incorporated into
educational institutions.
9. Diversity (Community-Based Programs)
Many immigrants rely on community based programs to get job training and even
simple things like an I.D. Libraries and nonprofit organizations offer English
classes and computer classes that are usually ran by senior volunteers. This
dynamic is great for special populations and there should be more funding to help
cultivate these programs in the community.
