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.

1. Week 2 List-Handley chapter
Chapter 3 Research
Basic Technology Concepts and Definitions
Although this is not a class strictly about computers or technology, this class assumes a
basic understanding of computer terms and concepts as well as basic knowledge of how
to use applications.
Our class is conducted through the web, and many resources we will learn to use are
web-based. So we will begin with some basic knowledge and definitions of the web, the
internet, and how sources are organized on the Web. We then begin next week to use
resources available through the web from our Library website, and other sites.
If you wish to review basic computer concepts: please refer to the the following
readings http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Introduction-to-
computers List-Handley, p. 26-46
http://netforbeginners.about.com/od/internet101/tp/Internet-Beginners-
QuickReference-Guide.htm
In addition, please refer to the Glossary, linked to the left, and available as a .pdf, for
technical terms. Refer to terms that are unfamiliar to you or that you would like to learn
more about.
Be aware, some of the concepts below are not covered explicitly in the textbook.
Consult the links above for additional information beyond what is covered here.
Internet and the World Wide Web
History of the Internet
The Internet began as a government network connecting researchers working for the
U.S. government. As it became obvious that the network could be useful to research, the
National Science Foundation took over funding and support of the internet. See the link
below for a history of the Internet:
< http://www.isoc.org/internet/history/brief.shtml>
Here is another fun site, the Computer History Museum, which gives a timeline of the
development of the Internet:
2. < http://www.computerhistory.org/exhibits/internet_history/index.shtml>
Here is a diagram of the Internet, or ARPAnet, as it was called, circa 1983. Not a very
large system in 1983! The nodes show the different universities and government
institutions connected to the network:
* from www.computerhistory.org/exhibits
Today the NSF no longer funds the net [this stopped in 1994]; it is now self-sufficient
and is actually a 'network of networks', with many providers. AOL, Earthlink, and other
commercial ventures provide access to the Internet through their networks to
subscribers.
Although the Web and the Internet seem synonymous, they are actually different. The
Web is a part of the Internet. The Internet includes other technologies:
– Email
– Instant messaging
– File uploading and downloading
Want to see some more interesting facts about the Internet? Take a look at this website [one of
the best for general info about Internet usage]. This site provides some interesting statistics
about Internet use worldwide. It may be no surprise that North America [comprising Canada
and the US] feature the highest rate of Internet use.

3. Content of the Web
• Schools
– Most schools have their own websites
– Includes both verified information from experts and pages from students
• Companies
– Companies provide information about products and services over the web
– Useful for researching companies and industries
• Organizations
– Nonprofit organizations have a strong presence on the web. These sites are
designed to assist their missions. Organizational sites often have an
agenda, which should be kept in mind.
• Social networking
– Useful for researching facebook or social network users (public figures such
as entertainers or politicians who have facebook pages for example) – Other
sites include twitter (twitter.com) youtube.com
• Wikis
– Refers generally to sites which are collaborative, or can be altered or
added to by users
– Wikipedia is the prime example of a wiki
• Individuals
- Individuals can have web pages, and post any content they wish
- The blog is a common type of publication produced by individuals
Structure of the Web
The Web is composed of millions of websites.
URLs (uniform resource locators) indicate unique addresses of websites and pages.
Websites are connected by links from other pages
Webpage is somewhat misleading as webpages can be any length.
Main URL suffixes include:
• .com - Business and commercial websites
• .org - organizational and nonprofit websites
• .edu -educational institutions
• .gov -government agencies
• .net -internet service providers
4. Search engines and directories – which is which?
To find specific things on the web, you must search for them, or use a tool or website
that has pre chosen links for users of the site. Examples of both kinds of tools are search
engines and search directories.
A search engine provides a program which scans web pages in it's system for the
terms that you enter.
A web directory, or subject directory , [you will see these terms interchangeably]
such as Yahoo organizes information more explicitly, providing websites organized by
subject or topic.
Usually a web directory reviews and chooses websites, then organizes them by subject.
Some web [or subject] directories are listed here: <
http://www.sou.edu/library/searchtools/subjdir.html>
Some search engines are listed here :
< http://www.infopeople.org/search/chart.html>
Other Web directories: from p. 43, text:
www.about.com: articles written by human guides on a wide variety of topics.
www.ipl.org Internet Public Library, includes sites reviewed and chosen by librarians.
www.dmoz.org Open Directory Project, 4.5 million sites chosen and compiled by
volunteers
www.vlib.org sites compiled by volunteers who are experts in a wide range of areas
Browsing a web directory can be a good way to sample web sites on a topic. Searching
through a search engine can provide a more systematic focused way to look for a topic.
In each case, the search engine, or the directory, can only access the web sites that are
included in it's index. Even though google.com , considered the most well known of
the general search engines, includes a lot of web sites, it does not provide access to all
web sites.
There are no exact statistics on how many web pages Google indexes, to use them as an
example, but their stated goal is to index 100 billion websites [click here for the story]:
http://www.sitepronews.com/archives/2006/sep/20.html
5. Even this would not be a full cataloguing of all available and existing web sites; web sites
appear, and disappear, daily, and no one search engine will ever fully be able to index all
web sites.
Other technology features of the Web:
Web Browser: the Web makes information available in a graphical format through a
web browser. A web browser is software programmed to provide links to other sources
on the web.
Hypertext Capability: the web has the capability to 'jump' from one page to another.
You do this by clicking on links, on a page. Here, from the Library of Congress
homepage, we see several links we could follow:
http://www.loc.gov/index.html
This technology allows users to follow pages in a nonlinear fashion. Whichever path we
take is nonlinear; there are several beginning links we could choose, and from there,
more links that we can take through the site in several different ways. We have several
options or ways to move through the site. Other I.T. Applications
Other types of I.T. applications include
word processing: one of the most commonly used I.T. applications. Programs such as
Microsoft Word, Wordperfect, OpenOffice. Can type and manipulate text. The
programs use spell checkers and graphic capabilities.
spreadsheet software: used to calculate numerical information. Programs such as
Microsoft Excel, OpenOffice Calc. Can be used to calculate numbers, create
spreadsheets, and present numerical data into charts and graphs.
presentation programs: incorporate text, graphics, and video into one presentation.
Programs include Microsoft Powerpoint, OpenOffice. Used primarily to present
information to groups, or bring together text, graphics, and other visual materials into
one program.
Microsoft Office is a set of applications that provide a program for all three of these
functions. OpenOffice.org is an open source set of programs that offer the same
capabilities [it's free, with a set of programs similar to Office].
Another term you may see is productivity software; often businesses use this term as
word processing and office software increases productivity for businesses:
6. http://searchwebservices.techtarget.com/sDefinition/0,,sid26_gci213024,00.html
Other programs include Wordperfect, and MicrosoftWorks. A basic knowledge of these
applications can simplify your research process. You will need a basic knowledge of
word processing as well as other I.T. applications to complete work for this class, as well
as other courses in college.
