Curriculum Design: leading learning in ICT lecture 11Miles Berry
University of Roehampton Y3 ICT specialists
At present ICT is a National Curriculum foundation subject in primary schools, although its programme of study and attainment target have now been ‘disapplied’. The Secretary of State has committed to reintroduce a programme of study for all four key stages for September 2014. For now, schools are free to decide what is taught and how it is assessed, reflecting the curricular autonomy enjoyed by academies, free schools and the independent sector.
As an ICT coordinator you should expect to give a firm steer to the development of ICT within and across your school’s curriculum, providing both the freedom and responsibility to provide your school’s pupils with the best possible technological education. You’re likely to take responsibility for crafting the school’s scheme of work for ICT, taking account of whatever statutory requirements are in place for your school at the time.
We look at ICT’s place within the present National Curriculum and some alternative approaches. We consider alternative approaches to the delivery of ICT. We explore common characteristics of both an ICT curriculum and a scheme of work for ICT and approaches that might be followed in creating one.

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 Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

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.
How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
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.
1. Powering Up With Technology
Using Technology to Differentiate Instruction
Presenters:
Lady Bernadette Dolandolan (Didi)
Maria Salud Mercado (Ricci)
This presentation will explore the application of technology to the design of
instructional materials and activities that make the learning goals achievable by
students in an early childhood setting.
There are so many variables (socio-economic, health, family dynamics, etc.) that
impact upon a child's ability to learn. However, differentiated instruction provides a
means to address many of the educational factors leading to gaps in achievement. It
grasps both ends to pull up the middle taking into account individual learning needs
and learning styles while providing the least restrictive educational environment for all
students to meet their potential. (Dr. Carolyn O. Burleson, 2003)
Differentiated Instruction
" is a model of instruction that revolves around the belief that students learn in many
different ways." (Verde, 2004)
It means –
providing materials and tasks at varied levels of difficulty with varying degrees of
scaffolding, through multiple instructional groups, and
encouraging student success by varying ways in which students work: alone or
collaboratively, in auditory or visual modes, or through practical or creative
means.
(Tomlinson, 2000)
Why differentiate instruction?
1 Using Technology To Differentiate Instruction
2. Because not all children learn in the same way.
Because NCLB says all children need to become proficient.
Because research and practice demonstrate that differentiated instruction
techniques are effective.
Because we can maximize student's growth by meeting each student where he
or she is and helping them progress.
Because of the diversity of students found in today's classrooms. (ELL, disabilities,
cultural backgrounds, etc.)
Using Technology to Differentiate Instruction
Technology can help you tailor instruction to meet the needs of all students by allowing
changes to:
content
channels of input, and
means of output.
Technology is also an excellent platform for cooperative learning.
Content
Provide various means of engaging students in processing and transforming
information.
Internet – Web Resources
• A modern computer connected to the Internet and running standard
software provides a wide array of features, as well as access to a vast
amount of information.
• Finding online books and text has become increasingly easy thanks to the
creation of indices designed specifically for teachers, as well as searchable
collections of books and documents.
• Example of Websites – Starfall, Super Why, United Streaming, Safari Montage
Thinking Maps
2 Using Technology To Differentiate Instruction
3. • The development of a thinking map serves to deepen the thought process. It
engenders questioning and evokes higher reasoning powers.
Graphic Organizers and Concept Maps
“…a visual representation of concepts, knowledge, or information that can
incorporate both text and pictures.”
• Graphic organizers are particularly suited to:
• generating ideas (brain-storming, etc.)
• organizing & displaying information
• aiding learning by explicitly integrating new and old
• knowledge
• assessing understanding or diagnosing
• misunderstanding
• increasing recall
• designing a complex structure (long texts, large web
• sites, etc.)
• incorporating both images and text
• Types of graphic organizers
• Concept maps
• Matrices
• Flow charts
• Venn diagrams
• Time lines
• Compare/contrast
• Generating graphic organizers electronically, using specialized software such as
Kidspiration 2/Inspiration, graphics software such as Kid Pix
KWHL Charts
• It allows students to access their own prior knowledge of a topic, plan their
inquiry and assess what they learn from the process.
Channels of Input
Accessibility Options are important considerations for students with visual,
hearing or motor difficulties.
Text – Besides traditional reading intake, digitized text can be manipulated
onscreen for easier reading. Text fonts can be reformatted and resized.
Visuals
3 Using Technology To Differentiate Instruction
4. • Maps, charts, graphs, diagrams, concept maps
• Video (enable close captions when available)
• Photographs & drawn or computer generated images
• Digital photography can enhance student learning and communication.
Examples include:
• Photo essays
• Digital scavenger hunts
• Prompts for work on literacy skills
• Math illustrations
• How-to books
• Trading cards
Sound
• A text reader can help English language learners as well as students with visual
difficulties.
• Kindergarteners can listen to individual letters and work in an exploratory fashion.
Talking text is an important additional tool for supporting comprehension for
some students, and several research studies have identified its promise for
helping students with reading disabilities comprehend written materials (National
Institute of Child Health and Human Development, 2000).
•
• Recorded readings of various literary genre.
Manipulatives work well for kinesthetic learners.
• Computer simulations and educational games
• Internet interactivity with on-screen manipulatives for language, math or science
learning.
4 Using Technology To Differentiate Instruction
5. An online Dictionary/Thesaurus offers immediate access to unfamiliar words.
Virtual Field Trips afford students a chance to visit and learn about far-away
places.
Means of Output
Explore various options for using technology for students to show what they know.
Determine which are appropriate and how to apply them in your classroom setting.
How can these tools allow individual creativity to flourish while meeting content
standards?
Write
• Word processed document
• Web page
• Draw, Photograph, Animate
• Any paint or draw program that comes with the computer operating system can
be used to express what a student understands.
• Hand-drawn student artwork or photos can be scanned into a computer to add
to a project.
• Digital cameras allow for quick transference of images into a computer for
editing and adding to a project.
• There are many commercial programs such as MS PhotoDraw, Adobe
Photoshop, Macromedia Flash, MS PowerPoint, HyperStudio or KidPix for younger
students, that can help students express their knowledge and understanding of a
topic.
Speak
• Students may have their understanding assessed orally while using a multimedia
presentation to demonstrate as they speak.
Perform
• Role-play, dance, play an instrument, engage in a sport, conduct an
experiment, demonstrate how to build or create something.
Record
5 Using Technology To Differentiate Instruction
6. • Sound recorders, video cameras and editing software give students access to a
wonderful multi-medium for showing what they know.
What Schools and Districts Can Do to Support Technology Use
Administrators and technology committees can help teachers extract full value
from existing software to support teaching and learning. An investment in appropriate
professional development is needed for the successful implementation of these tools.
Teachers also need time to think about how to integrate technology resources into their
classroom in a way that fully supports instruction.
offering several one-hour training sessions, to give teachers adequate time to
explore existing software features, to plan how to integrate them, and to share
their ideas with colleagues;
finding mentors within the district, including inclusion specialists or other special
education staff who may already have expertise in using technology to
customize curriculum and instruction and who can share their knowledge with
general educators;
encouraging staff to contribute technology tips at staff meetings in order to
share strategies that are a good fit with your curriculum;
asking in-house and visiting technology staff developers to address the needs of
diverse learners whenever they provide training at your site;
when purchasing new software and curriculum, looking for features that can
support a mixed-ability classroom, such as text-to-speech, color-coding,
adjustments for different ability levels, and graphic options.
