The passage discusses the differences between sounds found in cities versus the desert. In cities, there are constant noises from vehicles, people, and infrastructure that create a persistent din. However, in deserts there are long stretches of absolute silence as the only sounds that can be heard are those made by nature such as the wind or an animal.

Composing Play: Epic Learning in Literacy Spaces
I adopt Jane McGonigal's framework of "epic scale" to talk about elements of epic learning in and through the teaching of writing (Reality is Broken, 2011). It may be that no writing course can ever match the intensity of a campus wide tournament of Humans vs. Zombies or the sheer scale of World of Warcraft, but the language helps us think through ways that we use game design, paired with writing and writing pedagogy, both to make large class spaces feel intimate and to encourage small classes to feel empowered over their learning. This talk shares the design and success of two large "epic," game-based college experiences: the design of a "jumbo" writing class that infuses game design and play within the activities and structures, and an augmented reality, quest-driven, adventure game created for incoming freshmen called Early Start: EPIC. Data drawn from these game-based course designs show that the spaces provide contexts for action as a form of service to larger, shared goals, encourage wholehearted participation, and provide mechanisms for the exchange of expertise.

Composing Science: Using Writing Effectively in Science Classrooms
In this workshop, Leslie Atkins Elliott (Boise State University, Physics and Curriculum & Instruction) and Kim Jaxon (Chico State University, Composition & Literacy) will share their approaches to writing in science, particularly the role of writing in developing scientific ideas and developing as scientific writers. They will familiarize participants with research in composition and make connections to writing in the sciences before introducing an approach to peer response called “Silent Science.”

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
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.

Operation Blue Star - Saka Neela Tara
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.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...
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.
