My supposed 7 minute presentation from TM MFL Plymouth. However, I went on a bit... it's a subject I'm passionate about- handing over control to our students!
This document provides information about minutes lost during lessons due to late pupil arrival and other factors. It notes that the teacher's lesson started at 10:30 but pupils arrived at 10:34, wasting 4 minutes. Further minutes are lost to the first learning task and throughout the term and school year, totaling up to 540 minutes or 9 missed lessons over the course of an academic year. The document advocates for not losing any minutes of lesson time.
Exeter pgce voting with their feet, why vote mfl slideshareChris Fuller
The document discusses three main issues facing MFL teachers: lack of time, lack of self-belief, and lack of standing compared to other subjects. For the issue of lack of time, it provides numerous ideas for classroom activities that can help make the most of limited time, such as using word games, images, dictations, and technology tools. For lack of self-belief, it emphasizes the importance of giving students opportunities to communicate authentically in the language and express themselves creatively. Regarding lack of standing, it suggests making lessons more skills-based like other subjects, incorporating debates and higher-order thinking tasks, and focusing on real-world content to increase the perceived value of learning languages.
This document contains a collection of ideas and resources for teaching modern foreign languages. It includes suggestions for classroom activities to promote intercultural understanding, revision games, ways to incorporate technology like Skype and podcasting, and links to external websites with additional teaching materials.

Thinking again about the I, the C and the TChris Fuller
This document discusses rethinking how ICT (Information and Communication Technology) is used in the classroom. It emphasizes that ICT should be used as a tool to support pedagogy and learning, not drive the curriculum, as technology changes rapidly but good teaching practices remain the same. Some ideas presented for using ICT creatively in the foreign language classroom include having students find words in a text, write titles and paragraphs, use word clouds to learn vocabulary, collaboratively map concepts, create stories and animations, and engage in blogging. When used appropriately, ICT has the potential to provide instant training, communication, and assessment to support student learning.

How to Avoid Learning the Linux-Kernel Memory ModelScyllaDB
The Linux-kernel memory model (LKMM) is a powerful tool for developing highly concurrent Linux-kernel code, but it also has a steep learning curve. Wouldn't it be great to get most of LKMM's benefits without the learning curve?
This talk will describe how to do exactly that by using the standard Linux-kernel APIs (locking, reference counting, RCU) along with a simple rules of thumb, thus gaining most of LKMM's power with less learning. And the full LKMM is always there when you need it!

What's Next Web Development Trends to Watch.pdfSeasiaInfotech2
Explore the latest advancements and upcoming innovations in web development with our guide to the trends shaping the future of digital experiences. Read our article today for more information.
Video traffic on the Internet is constantly growing; networked multimedia applications consume a predominant share of the available Internet bandwidth. A major technical breakthrough and enabler in multimedia systems research and of industrial networked multimedia services certainly was the HTTP Adaptive Streaming (HAS) technique. This resulted in the standardization of MPEG Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (MPEG-DASH) which, together with HTTP Live Streaming (HLS), is widely used for multimedia delivery in today’s networks. Existing challenges in multimedia systems research deal with the trade-off between (i) the ever-increasing content complexity, (ii) various requirements with respect to time (most importantly, latency), and (iii) quality of experience (QoE). Optimizing towards one aspect usually negatively impacts at least one of the other two aspects if not both. This situation sets the stage for our research work in the ATHENA Christian Doppler (CD) Laboratory (Adaptive Streaming over HTTP and Emerging Networked Multimedia Services; https://athena.itec.aau.at/), jointly funded by public sources and industry. In this talk, we will present selected novel approaches and research results of the first year of the ATHENA CD Lab’s operation. We will highlight HAS-related research on (i) multimedia content provisioning (machine learning for video encoding); (ii) multimedia content delivery (support of edge processing and virtualized network functions for video networking); (iii) multimedia content consumption and end-to-end aspects (player-triggered segment retransmissions to improve video playout quality); and (iv) novel QoE investigations (adaptive point cloud streaming). We will also put the work into the context of international multimedia systems research.

What Not to Document and Why_ (North Bay Python 2024)Margaret Fero
We’re hopefully all on board with writing documentation for our projects. However, especially with the rise of supply-chain attacks, there are some aspects of our projects that we really shouldn’t document, and should instead remediate as vulnerabilities. If we do document these aspects of a project, it may help someone compromise the project itself or our users. In this talk, you will learn why some aspects of documentation may help attackers more than users, how to recognize those aspects in your own projects, and what to do when you encounter such an issue.
These are slides as presented at North Bay Python 2024, with one minor modification to add the URL of a tweet screenshotted in the presentation.
