The document discusses various digital tools that are essential for 21st century learning, including blogs, wikis, and Google Apps. Blogs allow students to publish online journals and diaries, which can increase writing skills and knowledge sharing. Wikis facilitate collaboration and allow students to collectively create and edit content. Google Apps like Docs, Sites, and Drive enable students to create, share, and collaborate on projects online. These digital tools provide opportunities for communication, reflection, publishing student work, and facilitating collaboration both within and outside the classroom. The document advocates that teachers choose one tool to implement based on their learning objectives and provide guidance to help students get started.

This workshop offers participants a hands-on introduction to the concepts and practices of digital pedagogy. We discuss the intersections between “online,” “hybrid,” and “digital” with regards to learning approaches and environments. And we launch into an exploration of assignment design, creative assessment, and digital tools. This workshop is suitable for educators--teachers, librarians, instructional designers, technologists, and others--at all levels who have an interest in exploring new techniques for digital teaching and learning.
Analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation (ADDIE) are all important steps in the design of effective e-learning applications or any learning program. While there have been many adaptations of ADDIE, many of them were made before we had today's tools, challenges, and opportunities. As is being realized by the software industry with Agile, more radical process changes are now both needed and possible. The benefits: More efficient and effective processes and superior learning experiences in less time.
There are five models of e-learning according to Kenneth Fee. They are online course, integrated online and offline learning, self-managed e-learning, live e-learning and electronic performance support.
A well-detailed introduction on what is a learning management system (LMS) and the benefits that an LMS platform can offer to your employees, students and clients/partners.

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.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Editor's Notes
Using Virtual Communication and Collaboration to enhance curriculum: Why, What, and How?
Intro/Warm up activity to get the learners thinking about the “why.” It is essential that we do all we can to prepare our students for the ever changing world they will be required to function in, in particular utilizing current technology to teach them the proper communication and collaboration skills that will take them into the future.
Why should we use virtual communication and collaboration to enhance curriculum? These skills are essential to 21st Century learning. Students must have the ability to collaborate with technology as it is essential to workplace success. It is a familiar landscape for our students—they are on social media, and communicating virtually with their peers already.
Blogs are online journals or diaries. Surely we’ve all come across blogs in our travels on the world wide web. Using blogs is a great way to facilitate rapid knowledge sharing and collaboration in our global community. Studies show that when students engage in blogs, their interest in and quantity of writing increases because the work is published online. That is, it’s not just an assignment for the teacher, but potentially available to everyone on the world wide web—therefore students are more conscientious and thoughtful.
A simple google search will elicit some great ideas of using blogs with your students. From journaling and reflection, to book reviews, thoughts on current events, debates, photo analysis, digital citizenship, and more, allowing your students to work in this digital media environment will engage them in ways they’re engaged in every day on social media, chat, and email with their peers.
https://www.theedublogger.com/2015/10/15/50-ideas-for-student-blogging-and-writing-online/
There are some great out there to help you get started with a Classroom blog. Edublog is probably one of the most popular for teachers, but you can also look into weebly, class blogmeister, blogger, or do a web search to see what you can come up with. The bottom line is to start with a free service that has a user interface that is easy for you to understand and navigate.
Wikis are like web pages, but with the ability for anyone to edit or add content. Wikis provide a creative and open environment where everyone has a voice. Students become the producers of information instead of just consumers.
The ideas are only limited by your imagination. Start with one activity and build from there. Some ideas include an historical fan club, debates, news or current events, have students find errors in writings and correct them, students can create stories together, round robin style, but documented on the wiki with who posts what and when. Teach students to organize and document group projects. These are just a very few of the possibilities. You are encouraged to google “Using wikis in your classroom” for more ideas!
There are some great wiki tools available for educators. Some of them include pbworks, wikispaces, wikidot.com, and more. I preferred to use pbworks as the interface and the capabilities seemed more intuitive and it was easy for me to set up and navigate. However, everyone is different and you are encouraged to take a look and make the right choice for you and your students.
Google Apps for Education are among the most popular collaborative virtual tools in education today. From google docs, students can create, share, and collaborate in the cloud. Google Sites allows students and teachers to create free web pages to showcase their work. Google Groups is a way for classes to post, share, discuss, and collaborate on particular topics. Google hangouts offers instant messaging, chat, and video conferences. Google Drive allows students and teachers to store their work in the cloud, share, collaborate, and curate resources. And of course, gmail can is the basic communication tool. It is recommended you choose one of the above collaboration tools. The best way to choose it do decide on what you would like your students to do, or accomplish with online virtual collaboration and communication. Then choose the appropriate tool to start the journey.
Google apps for education were created for the intent of collaboration, so no matte what google tool or app you chose to start with, you will have a collaborative feature. Google Groups can be made non public to allow for safe collaboration. Docs and drive allows you to create, curate, and share. Students can work on one document—synchronously or asynchronously. Google hangouts provides a safe place for students to instant message and have conversations about homework or assignments. The ideas here, again, are endless. The key is to circle back to what you really want your students to accomplish.
Think about what you really want students to achieve or learn through the use of this virtual communication/collaboration tool. Then, choose the tool that best fits the student need, or intended outcome. Next, it’s very important that you take the time to professionally develop yourself on this tool. Go to YouTube and search for a tutorial on the tool, read, learn, and brainstorm ideas. Google ideas for the tool in the “k-12 classroom.’ Once you become comfortable with the tool, then create an objective—for example, blogs are a great way to improve student writing. Consider your curriculum and how you can begin to incorporate the tools into an activity or unit. Then get started! Most importantly, elicit feedback from students throughout the process so that you can continuously improve as you begin to teach your students how to collaborate and communicate virtually.
