The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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.
The Indian economy is classified into different sectors to simplify the analysis and understanding of economic activities. For Class 10, it's essential to grasp the sectors of the Indian economy, understand their characteristics, and recognize their importance. This guide will provide detailed notes on the Sectors of the Indian Economy Class 10, using specific long-tail keywords to enhance comprehension.

The Art Pastor's Guide to Sabbath | Steve ThomasonSteve Thomason
What is the purpose of the Sabbath Law in the Torah. It is interesting to compare how the context of the law shifts from Exodus to Deuteronomy. Who gets to rest, and why?
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.

How to transform yourself into… a
SUPERLIBRARIAN!
4. MY INSPIRATION…
“SIMPLE CAN BE HARDER THAN COMPLEX: YOU HAVE TO WORK
HARD TO GET YOUR THINKING CLEAN TO MAKE IT SIMPLE.”
― STEVE JOBS
5. DIGITAL LIBRARY BACKGROUND…
Founding Member Library of the North Carolina
Digital Library, 2005
No significant interest in the HPPL collection
until 2010
Annual circ. in 2011 was 125% over 2010 circ.
Get organized so we could meet the needs of
users of the digital library
Form a committee and develop an “Action Plan”
to direct our next steps
6. EARLY SUMMER 2011
Created the “Action Plan”
Established the NCDL Interest Group
Priority item
Provide basic instruction on how to use NCDL for all
staff who work at a public service desk
We knew one of our hurdles would be…
8. GENERAL STAFF TRAINING, SUMMER 2011
All staff were given short tutorials on NCDL
30 minutes long, Groups of 4-5
Given with consideration for each person’s comfort with
technology
General handouts made available
Encouraged to try NCDL on their own
Ultimate Goal:
Staff Buy-In!
To minimize the…
10. IN-DEPTH STAFF TRAINING, SUMMER 2011
Readers’ Services and Research Services Staff
45 minutes, Groups of 2-3
Each staff member (especially in Readers’ Services)
would be able to walk a person through the NCDL
website and answer basic questions
Made this fun—provided incentives for learning
Will purchase devices for staff to use
11. DEVICE PURCHASING, FALL 2011
Readers’ Services and Research Services Divisions
purchased devices for staff training
Readers’ Services purchased:
Basic Kindle, Kindle Keyboard, Kindle Fire, Nook Simple Touch,
and iPad (added the Nook Color later)
Research Services purchased:
Nook Color, Kindle Fire and iPad (purchased additional iPads for
staff use later)
System for staff to “borrow” and explore the devices
they purchased
12. DEVICE PURCHASING, FALL 2011
Goals:
Make sure all staff were comfortable in assisting people
with the basics
Provide tools for future use (use iPads for roving reference
and weeding, etc.)
Results were very positive
Staff loved being able to try out the devices (especially the iPad)
and were enthusiastic about helping library users
Take the leap!
15. TRAINING STAFF EXPERTS, LATE SUMMER 2011
Staff members were chosen based on
high level of customer service
patience shown working one-on-one with library users
advanced knowledge of technology
Individually trained
Patron Assistance training and other training resources from
OverDrive
Included in the NCDL Interest Group
16. TRAINING STAFF EXPERTS, LATE SUMMER 2011
Their input was solicited on programs and handouts
Informal brainstorming among the library “experts” was
an additional benefit
This has continued and expanded as the experts are gaining experience
working with the public
Additional training for Readers’ Services Division
Serving as the “front line” initially in answering NCDL
questions
20. MARKETING TO THE PUBLIC
Create handouts
Cover the basics on how to get started
Much harder than I expected
Continuous revision based on
Feedback from staff and library users
Updates to NCDL
New devices produced
21. MARKETING TO THE PUBLIC
Presence on the webpage and Facebook
Created a general Digital Downloads page and specific
pages for NCDL and other digital resources
Basic information, including informational videos and
printable handouts
Regularly add information about NCDL and programs to
Facebook page
22. EBOOK TRAINING: THE PROGRAMS
Personal Librarian sessions
Program throughout the library—set up appointments to
work one-on-one with people on special projects
Use this to assist people with NCDL one-on-one
Can be scheduled in the evenings, with prior notice
Late Summer-Early Fall 2011 Program Topics
What type of eReader should I buy?
One of the most commonly asked questions
How to Use NCDL
23. EBOOK TRAINING: THE PROGRAMS
Fall 2011: Introduction of E-info Sessions
Flexible, drop-in sessions for anyone with questions about
NCDL (or any device)
Dec. 2011: held once a week near the public service
desks
Jan. & Feb. 2012: held twice a week--moved to larger
classroom due to demand
25. EBOOK EXTRAVAGANZA 2012
All-Day EBook Assistance
Modeled after similar event held at the West Linn Public
Library in West Linn, Oregon
Provide assistance by Device
Tables for Kindle, Nook, Tablet/iPad
Trained staff members were available all day to help people as they
came by, 11-7 (8 people, rotating shifts)
Positive feedback from attendees
Nook at Night
At end of EBook Extravaganza Day
Local Barnes & Noble staff demonstrated the current
Nook models
New community partnership opportunity
Plan to have similar events in the future
26. ONGOING PROGRAMMING
Spring & Summer 2012
Personal Librarian sessions and brief assistance provided at
public service desks, as time allowed
National Library Week program
Fall 2012: Started with E-Info sessions (Nov. and Dec.)
Offered three “classroom-style” programs:
NCDL for Nooks
NCDL for Tablets/Kindles
Free EBooks outside of NCDL
27. ONGOING PROGRAMMING
Early 2013
2nd All-Day Ebook Assistance event (Jan. 2013)
Partnering again with Barnes & Noble to present Nook at Night
Much smaller attendance than previous year
Plan to continue with two E-Info sessions per month and
Personal Librarians sessions as requested
Evaluate programs in Summer to plan offerings for Fall
28. LESSONS LEARNED
E-Info sessions and Personal Librarian
appointments were the most effective
Informal brainstorming among the
library “experts” was an additional
benefit
This has continued and expanded as the experts
are gaining experience working with the public
Staff Buy-In was Achieved
Introducing Staff to NCDL led to many of
them purchasing and using eReaders
(especially Fall 2012-Early 2013)
29. LESSONS LEARNED
Getting the word out…
Best publicity is word-of-mouth (which I
encouraged)
Taking it “On the Road” to retirement communities
Residents were very interested in the service, for many
reasons
Once I went to one location, I was invited to come to
others
