The United States and Canada together occupy most of North America, with varied terrain ranging from coastal plains to tall mountain ranges. Both countries have abundant natural resources such as fertile soil, water, forests, and minerals. The geography has enabled the development of strong economies centered around agriculture, mining, and energy production.

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 ...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.

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.

9. The Eastern LowlandsThe Eastern Lowlands
► A flat, coastal plain runs along the
Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of
Mexico. One section, called the
Atlantic Coastal Plain, begins as
narrow lowland in the
northeastern United States and
widens as it extends southward
into Florida. This area features
many excellent harbors. A
broader section of the plain—the
Gulf Coastal Plain—stretches
along the Gulf of Mexico from
Florida into Texas. The
Mississippi River empties into the
Gulf from this region. Between
these plains and the nearby
Appalachian Highlands is a low
plateau called the Piedmont. This
area of rolling hills contains many
fast-flowing rivers and streams.
10. Appalachian MountainsAppalachian Mountains
► They are one of the two
major mountain chains in
the United States and
Canada. Both chains run
north to south. The
Appalachian Mountains
extend some 1,600 miles
from Newfoundland in
Canada to Alabama. There
are several mountain
ranges in the Appalachian
system. Among them are
them Green and the
Catskill mountains in the
north and the Blue Ridge
and the Great Smoky
mountains in the south.
11. Appalachian MountainsAppalachian Mountains
►The Appalachians are very old—more than
400 million years old, they have been
eroded by the elements. Many peaks are
only between 1,200 and 2,400 feet high.
12. Interior LowlandsInterior Lowlands
► The interior lowlands are
divided into three sub
regions: the Interior Plains,
the Great Plains, and the
Canadian Shield.
► Great Plains, a largely
treeless area. Central USA.
► Canadian Shield lies
farther north. This rocky,
mainly flat area covers
nearly 2 million square
miles around Hudson Bay.
13. Rocky MountainsRocky Mountains
► The Rockies are a series of
ranges that extend about
3,000 miles from Alaska south
to New Mexico.
► Relatively young—about 80
million years old—the Rockies
have not been eroded like the
Appalachians. Many of their
jagged, snow-covered peaks
are more than 12,000 feet
high.
► Continental Divide-- line of
highest points in the Rockies
that marks the separation
between rivers flowing
eastward and westward.

—Mt. McKinley—is in Alaska,
towering 20,320 feet above
sea level.
