Educational Podcasting - a learner-centred, collaborative opportunityAndrew Middleton
This presentation comes from the elearning 2.0 conference at Brunel, UK, 6-7 July 2009.
It argues for a reconsideration of what educational podcasting can be referring to McLuhan, and Johanssen in proposing that audio provides a good fit for a Web 2.0, authentic and active medium for 21st centiry learning
Hands-On Ideas Webcast 9 - Gestural MessagingGreg Cooper
Chad Ruble doesn't consider himself a technology person. But after a stroke that left Chad's mom partially physically impaired, his mom had a hard time using phones and other devices. Not one to ignore a challenge, Chad figured out how to combine an Arduino controller, Processing libraries, a Microsoft X Box Kinect and some of his own code to make a gestural-based messaging system. These hacks keep Chad Ruble's mom in her house living independently. Now Chad is a maker who is creating interfaces for people with disabilities to interact with others via technology.
In this webcast Chad shares how he as a 'non tech' person took to 'hacking' his way through a lot of homemade projects and learned from trial and error. In the end he though he created a system which translates large motions into messages, meaning that Mom is less isolated while maintaining her independence. Chad shares how he built his first version of a solution, how it has evolved into a web-based system that you can use, and how you can make or hack your own assistive solutions.

Webinar - Media Mentors: Helping Children Build Literacy Skills for the Digit...TechSoup
Visit http://www.techsoup.org for donated technology for nonprofits and libraries!
With young children gaining access to a dizzying array of games, videos, and other digital media, will they ever learn to read? The answer is yes—if they are surrounded by adults who know how to help and if they are introduced to media designed to promote literacy, instead of undermining it. In short, these children and their families could greatly benefit from a media mentor.
What exactly is a media mentor? Michael Levine and Lisa Guernsey, authors of Tap, Click, Read: Growing Readers in a World of Screens, and Chip Donohue, editor of Family Engagement in the Digital Age: Early Childhood Educators as Media Mentors, discuss this new term in the lexicon of 21st-century early childhood education. Media mentors can help children grow into strong, passionate readers who are skilled at using media and technology of all kinds—print, digital, and everything in between. What skills do media mentors need? How can they be supported? And how can more children gain access to them? Michael, Lisa, and Chip lead a discussion that explores the importance of these new roles.
Top shamba - Transforming Covid-19 challenges into opportunitiesPhilippe Scheimann
The world has been changed in many ways by the global pandemic that is Covid-19. These changes have been both positive and
negative. We have been looking a lot at the negatives without paying attention to the positives.
In the month of February TOP as a family will be looking at some of the present and future positives that the Covid-19 pandemic has gifted us.
We would use the theme "#the positives of COVID-19" or "#COVID-19 Transformations" Through this theme we will explore matters such as :
contribution of indegineous vegetable towards improving health during the pandemic
Home to Internet-Based, Future-Oriented Dialogue, dealing with questions of morals and faith issues of human dignity, conflict resolution and tolerance in the present.
Main idea
Providing a series of projects in the fields of peace, conflict resolution that can easily be reproduced and integrated in existing educational institutions.
Training educators and professors so that they can educate youth toward a peace oriented Civil Society

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.

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.

Connectedness: Leadership School for Doers and Dreamers
A paradigm shift can only start with leadership that moves from the ME culture to the WE culture; from
the Consumer mindset to the Prosumer mindset.
These leaders choose to abandon the role of victim to live the solution, rather than fight the problem.
They create the right conditions for each member of the community to discover and reveal his and her
talents, abilities, and inner strengths.
An attitude change starting with self-leadership that
grows inwardly and outwardly at same time,
connecting the head, heart, and hands with:
• Low tech and High tech
• Soil and soul
• Doing and learning
• Art and science
• Individual and community
Ownership of the problem = ownership of the
solution, and leads to:
• Purpose and process
• Creativity and community
• Value and evaluation
• Ability and responsibility
• Connecting diverse people from all walks of life
12. What if you could reach a site where you could not only watch a series of TED-type videos about real
life challenges, but also get a comprehensive explanation about how to solve the problem? (similar to
instructables.com)
At TOP you get:
• A holistic approach to the solution )economic & social/environmental)
• An explanation about how to solve the problem, comprising multimedia illustrations (photos, clips),
text, and open source software, if necessary
• A list of the makers/inventors involved in the creation of the solution with whom you can
communicate directly
• The opportunity to learn, contribute, apply and/or modify the existing solutions, and show us new
challenges
