Integrating Telecollaboration in different educational contexts – identifying...Robert O'Dowd
In the context of foreign language education, ‘telecollaboration’ refers to the application of online communication tools to bring together classes of language learners in geographically distant locations to develop their foreign language skills and intercultural competence through collaborative tasks and project work. The interaction has traditionally been text-based and asynchronous, however, the recent advances of Web 2.0 online communication have meant that synchronous oral communication as
well as multimodal exchanges involving combinations of different media are becoming increasingly popular. This presentation and workshop will review the different models or configurations of online intercultural exchange which have been employed in the foreign language classroom to date and also explores the new options and opportunities which are emerging from Web 2.0 contexts. We will outline the main research findings related to the barriers and challenges to integrating this activity into educational curricula and we will also its key contributions to foreign language learning. Finally, in our workshop we will explore how telecollaboration can be integrated into teacher training in Germany and also in vocational training.

Writing to you with esteemed pleasure to introduce the innovation stimulator where it is unique worldwide.
The Invention Stimulator is a p.c. programmed Micro Control Unit (MCU) application which allows children from grade 1 and above to create their own solutions / inventions for an unlimited number of purposes. The system is provided in graded kits from 1 to 7 and includes everything that is needed to start inventing with very little training.
MCUs are in all kinds of electronic devices which we see and use every day. The ability to control these devices has previously been the domain of computer scientists and programmers, until now.
This is not seen as an electronics / computer product. In our opinion, this is THE MOST EFFECTIVE CREATIVE PRODUCT to be available to schools today (or yesterday!)
Our motto is ‘Minimum Teaching, Maximum Learning’ and our goal is to encourage creative thought, regardless of the academic ability of any individual child (or adult).
eTwinning is a framework for schools to collaborate on the Internet with partner schools in other European countries.
It promotes school collaboration in Europe through the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) by providing support, tools and services to make it easy for schools to form short or long term partnerships in any subject area
Author: Anne Gilleran.
This paper examines the eTwinning action against the background of 21st century educational and social forces in Europe. It describes in detail the evolution and structure of eTwinning, the opportunities it offers to teachers in terms of pedagogical practice and professional development and the achievments of the portal www.eTwinning.net.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.
