Here I'm going to talk about the writing lead and features lead.so let's discuss about it.
Introduction
There are some kinda of writing,some related with education and some are related with work, filed and news as well. So in news or in a journalism there are some writing and some feature for that,
Lead writing
Feature writing
So let's discuss about these both here.
Feature writing
Lead writing
Feature writing
One who knows fully the art of fine writing in all its dimension.
A journalist who not only can report facts but can transmit the mood and tone of an event who can impress upon the readers the significance of what happens. facts for authority mood and tone for sympathy Interpretation for lucidity qualities of a good feature writer
Inquisitive Eager to learn Sympathetic towards other people's feeling Capable of saying beneath the surface of ordinary events
There are some types of feature writing like;
News feature

Spont features
Lives -in
Here is video for Feature writing...
Lead writing
What is meaning of it...?
A lead is an opening paragraph that gives the audience the most important information of the news story in a concise and clear manner, while still maintaining the readers' interest.
Here we are talking about the news so there are some questions asking system to get information,that is obviously in journalist's work.
Who? What? Where? When? Why?
Short, Sharp Summary of things, readers are curious to read. Other parts like hard and soft lead.
Hard Lead gives a comprehensive view of entire event, while soft lead gives a short account of that event with catchy title.s a short account of that event with catchy title.
Conclusion
Writing is not just only to write anything anyhow but, writer have to write with structure, qualitative words and with a unique way so people will attract to read it. So here as above we can discuss about the feature writing and Lead writing.
Here I'm putting one task on multimedia call Matirial. In this task , I made one module to teach student English language through the video clip (both languages English and Hindi).
Here is one power point presentation. Through that we have to do that task.
In the world of technology we can use it in Education. I have a prepared one Presentations and through that we can give task and activity to students,So they can learn and try to learn such a topic and also they can do it with a new ways.
There are some characteristics of the teacher and also of learner. This presentation is the side from teacher. If they both cop with each other , the learning process can be interesting and we got the learning outcome as well.
Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) is often perceived, somewhat narrowly, as an approach to language teaching and learning in which the computer is used as an aid to the presentation, reinforcement and assessment of material to be learned, usually including a substantial interactive element. Levy (1997:1) defines CALL more succinctly and more broadly as "the search for and study of applications of the computer in language teaching and learning". Levy's definition is in line with the view held by the majority of modern CALL practitioners.
About Call
It is considered that CALL was first used by Davies and Steel (1981) in a conference paper, and the term was widespread in the UK a year later, in 1982.
This same year, Ealing College of Higher Education published the CALL-related newsletter titled “CALLBOARD”. Furthermore, in 1983, TESOL started up CALL Special Interest Group which was a big move in the field.
Then even the exact date of the appearance of CALL term is not completely clear different terms are appeared in the literature of applications of technology in pedagogy. Computer-Aided Instruction refers to learning at the computer in which there is no necessity in language education, also, the word ‘instruction’ refers to a teacher-centered approach. Computer-Assisted Learning is similar to CAI, but the focus in on learners.
Computer-Assisted Language Instruction was incorporated into the name of the professional association Computer-Assisted Language Instructed Consortium. In contrast to CAI and CALI, the emphasis of Computer-Assisted Language Learning is on learning rather than instruction, therefore, it is reflecting a student-centered approach rather than a teacher-centered one.
History of Call
T he USA was the pioneer country in early days of CALL. In 1950s, the prominence of teaching language for military purposes in competent and scientific ways led to the application of huge and high-priced mainframes, as the first application of computers in language learning being available at universities. In competition with USSR in Cold War (1945-1991), the first CALL programs were developed at Stanford University, Dartmouth University and the University of Essex in order to teach Russian as a foreign language . Among the early mainframe-based programs, which were served as tutor and drillmaster, the PLATO (Hart, 1995) and TICCIT projects (Anderson, 1976; Jones, 1995) were the highest profile ones.
Computer-Assisted Language Teaching is another term which in contrast to CAL emphasizes the teachers. Computer-Assisted Teaching is learning any subject at the computer.
Computer-Based Training refers to a program used for teaching of some discrete language learning skills.
Computer-Mediated Instruction is the application of some form of computer software or hardware in instruction in which learning takes place when a learner communicate with a distant tutor.
Mall
Full form of Mall is, Mobile-assisted language learning is language learning that is assisted or enhanced through the use of a handheld mobile device.
MALL has evolved to support students’ language learning with the increased use of mobile technologies such as mobile phones, MP3 and MP4 players, PDAs and devices such as the iPhone or iPad. With MALL, students are able to access language learning materials and to communicate with their teachers and peers at any time, anywhere.
Through the mobile phone we can learn the English or other languages as well. There are so many web tools through which we can teach and learn English language.
I also used some app to learn it. Some course help us for that like,Mooc,Coursera and other also. Some social media and website also help for that.
Conclusion
There so many invention in this world to teach and learn. Through that we can make education effective and easy also. So Call and Mall both are the helping tools we can say.
21st century is century of technology ,that we know very well. Now when are going to talk about technology and educational we used many tools for that. Web 2.0 is one of part of technology. So Whatʼs Web 2.0 ?
This document is intended as simple introduction to some free Web 2.0 type tools that can be used by teachers who are interested in using technology in language teaching. The tools presented here are just the tip of the iceberg and this should not be considered in anyway conclusive or even the ʻbest ofʼ Web 2.0 tools. New tools are emerging all the time, many not originally intended for education, but which can be put to good use by students and teachers alike to extent opportunities, enhance learning potential and develop the level of digital literacy that students will need for the 21st century.
So here some explanation about the web 2.0.
• Text based ʻhtmlʼ with some images - The early web was largely driven by text based content formated with a simple programming language called ʻhtmlʼ.
• Broadcast medium - Most web sites were owned or controlled by companies or individuals with web skills. The content was added by web masters and the owner of the website decided what would go on the website. This was a ʻtop downʼ process, readers had no choice and little input into the content that went on the
site.
• Slow connection speeds - Most visitors were using slow dial up connections which made downloading large files such as video or audio incredibly slow.
• Limited interactivity - If there was any interactivity on websites it was almost completely text based and usually took the form of sending in an email, basic text chat or posting a message on a text based bulletin board.
• Expensive software - Most creative work being done on computers was done using expensive software which was complex to learn and had to be bought on discs and installed on the hard drive.
This blog is about the views by David Crystal. He is giving opinion about the English language , Technology and also about the ELT.
Introduction
Crystal studied English at University College London between 1959 and 1962, and was a researcher under Randolph Quirk between 1962 and 1963, working on the Survey of English Usage.

This video is about the the effect of new technology on English language.
Here David Crystal takes about the English language and keep coming change in language. Technology always has influenced language quite dramatically.
As we know that there are so many invention like printing press newspaper television radio and computer and so on but printing arise in 15th century it is a part of past Technology.
Varieties of any e long of course but we are talking about English today.David Crystal talking about that when the development invention of television has been coming in world people don't know what to say but after that they are asking hello hi and then start the conversation on telephone.
Invention of telephone was disaster for people. In 1920 paper for that it is a medium of brainwash and They thought that is new invention of telephone is a disaster.
He says that after those invention internet is invention of new generation.
Now we can see that during the use of social media while texting people used short form of some words so that way English language changed.
Ex -: LOL, U(you), R (are)
Here in this video he talked about the biggest challenge for teacher.
He said that language is changing now and then. So it is big challenge for teacher to teach student. So they face difficulty with language. There is two reasons according to him that
1) Internet
It is become faster with speed and also new generation is accept it very fast. So there are so many change with speed.
2) English is Global language.
English is global language that we know very well. Because of technology and change coming into language there are different English language;
India English
Nigerian English
South African English
He said that no one in Europe also speak the queen language. Probably 2% people speak that English. While teacher that's why facing problems to teach any language. There are different English language and traditional acent so, student knew about their present language. He gave two remedy for teacher that
1) Improve listing comprehension
2) Improve reading comprehension
Student think more about exam and passinng thigs. He also said that according to him there is two most important job in the world are
1] Translation /Interpretation
2] Teaching
He said that I thank God that He is not teacher.
In this video David is talking about the Texting is good for English Language
There are judges and they all are asking him questions. David put his argument or can say answer for his survey or reserch.
He said, children are are playing out site. So they made many mistake in spelling.sobhe said that texting is good for language.
He said that now after so many years none speak Victoria's English but now language is changing in many way. He talks about and gave reason of social behaviour in learning.
Conclusion
As above all videos are very interesting. It is all about the language and linguistic. David Crystal gave Mani views on Effect of English language and effect on English language in current time. He argued well to prove his point, In all videos.
Here is blog on various videos. These videos are related with Education and technology. Nowadays we used technology for teaching and as well as for learning. So let's see some thoughts by speakers in those video. You can also watch that all videos here in same blog. For more information click here.
Introduction
In this video Ken Robinson talking about the Education with change in Economy and culture. He gave many Examples from queen to present time. That how changes are coming in Education because of technology.
In this Sugata Mitra talks on paradigm shift that he wants in education system. He also pointed out Victorian education system and how paradigm shift helps with the School in the Cloud enables students to think critically, the most important ability of students which must be demanded for future job. He started his project with 'The Hole in the Wall' and talks on how a children started to operate it through self learning. Through this he emphasizes his idea of,
SOLE - Self Organized Learning Environments.
Along with it he also talks on pronunciation and how through the speech to text engine software one can enhance pronunciation. Indeed how can we forget about examination threat? He also mentioned about it. He firmly believed that in order to instill the best in the student, collaborate work should be encouraged in classroom as well as exam must be focused on problem solving dimension through internet rather than traditional memory checking oriented examination. In this entire process of new learning the question of "Why" becomes more important than the "what".
In both video Sugata Mitra talking about the education system. He did so many experimens with Hall in a wall. Experiment in Delhi, in England, in China and In south India (Kuppam-Haidrabad).
This picture is about the old education system. According him the through the technology and inernet children can learn their own.
Here is a girl who is sleeping in a class because she is tried with the thinking or study. But the collaboration learning, group learning gives them opportunities.they discuss and then tel to teacher. So Question and answer happened.
In this video Salman Khan giving his view on the use of technology also that how he got the idea of online class and you tube video. In khan academy learner can learn mostly everything like maths and chart, economy and others subject through the course.
He explained also all things with showing demo presenting video.
In this particular video he talks about digital tools widely used by younger generation of 20th century. He gave a certain figures regarding the amount of the time spent by students in using digital tools. Surrounded by technology and video games, today's grads have spent less than 5,000 hours of their lives reading but over 10,000 hours playing video games. It showcases growing interest towards technology. Because of the remarkable use of technology in education as well for other purposes, we become the native of technology while digital immigrants do not believe that students can learn by watching T.V or listening music. Indeed, they are preferably wrong because in this pop culture, along with designed educational course, each and every instrument of pop culture can be served as a new mode of education and it can not be denied.
Invention of telephone was disaster for people. In 1920 paper for that it is a medium of brainwash and They thought that is new invention of telephone is a disaster.
He says that after those invention internet is invention of new generation.
Now we can see that during the use of social media while texting people used short form of some words so that way English language changed.
Ex -: LOL, U(you), R (are)
He said that language is changing now and then. So it is big challenge for teacher to teach student. So they face difficulty with language. There is two reasons according to him that
1) Internet
2) Global language (English)
In this video David is talking about the Texting is good for English Language
There are judges and they all are asking him questions. David put his argument or can say answer for his survey or reserch.
Conclusion
As above all videos are very interesting. It is all about the language and linguistic. David Crystal gave Mani views on Effect of English language and effect on English language in current time. They argued well to prove their point, In all videos.
Today I'm going to discuss about Technology and Education. It is very interesting topic for discussion and to know about this, they are related with each other and how different.
Introduction
I don't think that we have to discuss on what is technology ? We know about it and also advantages and disadvantages of technology.
Nowadays technology is becoming so much advance. It is useful in teaching and learning also. For education it is like a boon. So teacher can easily teach through the use of it. It make learning easy and also an interesting. Specially we saw benefit of technology during this pandemic time and lock down. How technology helps us. Because of it works were not stop and mostly things were being continued.
After all that we have question that ,If we used technology in education then it can be replaced teacher or not?
Let's see some characteristics of technology .
1. Speed
2. Perfection
3. Update
4. Time and space
As we know that technology is giving us these benefits.That we can do our work with speed and mostly the work by technology is 99.99% is perfect.
Now sometime it is not easy for human to be update with time. But technology is getting update now and then. Most important thig is we can use it anytime and anyplace if we have enough tools. So we can be work without any problems.
Well....These all are useful for education as well. But then what about teacher ?
Into the quiz there is a one blog link and video. In that video by Dr. Dilip Barad sir he included two as videos and one from satyamev jayte programme. Below I put both as videos so reader can watch it here.
In this idea company's ad we can see how technology is become helpful to teach those who can not get admission in school of many reasons. Through the good network students can be able to learn and development their self. Teacher are teaching them from far distance and they are able to learn their rural areas. So yes this way technology can be helpful.
In present time we see that small kid also know how to search things and scroll the skin and all the technology learning things. That we can see in above video. He is got salvation own his on and go live through using technology. It all about to learn from mother's womb. May be so... But as venadatu said its as that
"समज आएगा तो मजा आएगा
मजा आएगा तो समज आएगा"
Through the technology we can stop corruption. That we can see in video the person named sanjay he learn how to use computer and internet. He found something wrong and about the corruption. The people of villages raise their voice for justice.He also made one website to give msg named आवाज दे.
But now we have in era of technology. So in education we have many questions.
Can Technology replace teacher?
No I don't think so because, first thing is technology get update because of human mind. Second thing is that we have to connect all dots and content so students can understand it. Third is that ,people take time to understand it and also take time to learn it. So someway it will spoil time or if they will not be able to do that they will misuse it.
1. Teacher can discuss and communicate with teacher.so it can be critical.
2. They have to connect the dots for easy understanding
3. Some topic like poem or other need emotion so teacher can connect that things with particular topic but not technology.
4.If there is no technology then even they have to work creatively with interesting way.
During this corona pandemic time, Technology is being very useful. But when we talk about as general persepective,we know that everyone is not know how to use it and study through it. Then they misuse the data.According to me people stared learning technology and understand important of it.Yes, they have to understand that technology is for our benefit not for misuse.
Technology can make it easy to get educated by sitting at home but that education too is provided by a teacher. Even in online courses, we see that teachers are necessary to give lectures, whether in the form of videos, tutorials, Skype sessions, etc. Children still need to learn computers to operate those online sessions, which of course are taught by teachers.
Technology can certainly help teachers to reach out to more students & reduce physical strain & save time for both of them, but there is no way technology can replace teachers at anytime.
Conclusion
As above that technology can be take place in education but not can replace teacher. Because technology Will some way not able to give the understanding of such topic and can be able to do connect the dots with meaningfully.
