This document provides guidance and instructions for students on various tasks related to using blogs, wikis, and websites. It includes:
- Instructions on setting up a blog and reflecting on the learning potential of blogs and wikis.
- A link to instructions on creating a website using Weebly. Students are asked to reflect on the functionality of websites.
- Announcements of an upcoming online tutorial and collaborative work on sample multiple choice quiz questions in a group wiki.
This presentation will provide specific hands on applications for a collection of Google Apps tools like Google Calendar, Google Docs, and Google Sites. We will discuss how you can implement in your classroom, office, and school to promote collaboration and productivity with students and staff.

WebQuests and wikis provide vehicles for interactive, authentic projects that can become springboards for heightened research resulting in higher critical thought. A WebQuest is a kind of roadmap that takes the explorer on a journey through the many informative components of the World Wide Web. A wiki is like a web page that is always open to collaboration promoting editing and sharing of ideas and knowledge.
This will share best practices in using wikis and relate to Common Core standards as teachers learn essential skills. Note that some of this session is an online demo, but bullet points of what is shared is included in the presentation.
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.
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.

8. “The teacher can no longer be
regarded as the sole source of
learning, nor can students be assumed
to have the same core
knowledge.............. There has been a
power shift such that learners are now
able to be responsible for their own
learning. The role of the teacher has
become one of facilitator rather than
expert. And learning is able to be
individualised for each student.”

Task 2. This activity asks you to reflect on your learning about blogs.
Activity 2: Creating a Wiki
It is now time for you to build your first Wiki - there is a „how to‟ tutorial to help you along.
Activity 3: Creating a wiki - blog reflection
In your blog, create a new posting reflecting on the learning potential of a wiki in your context.
As should now be embedded in your practice, be sure to consider the legal, safe and ethical requirements in working in
a wiki. How will you support the development of these habits in your students?
Activity 4: Creating a website – link with instructions for using Weebly
A link is provided in the Engagement section to assist you in this task.
Engagement Activity 5: Creating a website - blog reflection
Reflect on the functionality of a website. What did it allow you to do?
Activity 6: Participate in, and contribute to online tutorial
