Surviving (and thriving) in the Age of Technology-Enhanced InstructionMaria H. Andersen
With every new iteration of technology, we create generations of students whose primary media "language" for learning and interacting with the world is different than the generation before it. In the last five years, technologies like online homework, personalized learning software, mobile devices, learning analytics, OER, and MOOCs have been chipping away at the corners of higher education and traditional teaching. Technology-enhanced learning is here to stay and it will alter formal education, like it or not. This is a guide to navigating and thriving in this new world and preparing yourself and students for what is to come.
This presentation outlines Qooco's vision of being able to "Empower people in under-served segments through affordable mobile education services that are engaging, impactful, and life-changing."

The demand for well-trained professors in education has resulted in the rapid advancement of accredited teaching.
http://riyarathodblog.website2.me/teaching
Among educational buzzwords this is for sure the one with the highest pitches nowadays. The flooding of classrooms with new technologies has led to new approaches to classic lectures and traditional educational strategies, and Flipped Classes can be a good one if applied with common sense.

The mobile learning revolution is alive and growing in popularity every day. When schools move toward mobile learning in the classroom, they can take advantage of electronic devices such as tablets and cell phones that offer portability and ease of use. Mobile learning technologies can offer teachers a flexible approach to learning with their students in a variety of locations, and encourage this learning to continue at home.
More and more teachers are finding success with using mobile devices in the classroom. As a new teacher, you will want to investigate the policy and attitudes of your school and administration regarding the use of mobile devices for learning. What is the written policy? What is the spoken policy? Are there other teachers, coaches or administrators in your school who are doing this? Find like-minded teachers and begin a discussion.
Success doesn't just happen. It takes strategic planning and putting the right building blocks in place for success. This means doing things like informing parents, teaching responsible use, updating classroom management techniques, carefully planning activities and including students, and teaching students about safety and etiquette

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.

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
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.

1 to 1 devices how they will impact stakeholders
1. The Potential Impact of Using
Tablets in the Classroom
For principals
For teachers
For students
Alyssa Lindsey
ISTC 675
Towson University
2. What is a 1:1 learning
environment?
Each student has his or her own electronic
device for use in school.
This might mean a laptop, tablet, or smart
phone.
Dr. Dance plans to make BCPS a
1:1 learning environment.
3. Imagine you are a school principal. Your
superintendent sends you an email informing
you that you will be receiving enough tablets
to provide each student with one for the
upcoming school year. What steps would you
need to take to get ready?
Click the link to go to the principal wall wisher.
Record at least one way this will change how
you do your job this summer, and read what
others have said. Then continue to the next slide
to learn more!
4. Impact on Principals
Funding – this is an
expensive undertaking.
Examples:
− A school district in Los Angeles plans to
spend $500 million to provide iPads for
its 600,000 students.
− A school district in North Carolina
estimates maintaining their 1:1 learning
environment will cost $3.6 million
annually.
5. Principals will need to:
Evaluate various devices and choose the one which best
fits the school's needs
Provide time for teachers to receive professional
development on how to use the devices
Identify who will set up the devices, update them, and
troubleshoot when problems arise
Find storage in the school building for the devices
Ensure that a wireless network is in place
Communicate with parents about expectations and care
Determine a school policy for dealing with lost, broken, or
stolen devices
6. Imagine you are a classroom
teacher. Your principal sends
you an email informing you that
you will be receiving enough
tablets to provide each student
in your class, and yourself with
one for the upcoming school
year. How will this change how
you teach?
Click the button to go to the
teacher wall wisher. Record at
least one way this will change
how you do your job, and read
what others have said. Then
continue to the next slide to
learn more!
7. Teachers – get ready for some changes!
• A teacher’s role will change from instructor to facilitator.
• Most teachers are digital immigrants, while current
students are digital natives. Be prepared to switch roles
completely and learn from students!
• This is not a substitute for good instruction! A teacher’s
role is different, but no less important!
• Time to abandon previous lesson plans and instructional
practices – this is a whole new type of classroom!
• Teachers will need to both initial and continuous PD on
how to effectively use this technology.
• Teachers will need to work together with principals to
develop a plan for when students do not have their
devices.
8. When it comes to differentiation,
a 1:1 learning environment is a
dream come true!
9. Imagine you are a middle school student.
When you arrive on the first day, your
homeroom teacher gives you a tablet.
Each student is being provided with one
this year to use for class and for
homework. How will this change how you
learn, and your experience in school?
Click the button to go to the student wall
wisher. Record at least one way this will
change how you do your job, and read
what others have said. Then continue to
the next slide to learn more!
10. Impact on Students
• Students will become independent learners, rather than passive members of
an audience.
• Students will need to take responsibility, and use the devices as intended, and
not for entertainment during school.
• Shy students now have a platform to participate! Those who were hesitant to
speak in class will often feel more comfortable typing their answers or
interacting digitally.
• Organization will become much easier! Rather than trying to stay on top of
schedules, papers, assignments, and materials for various classes, everything
can be saved to the device. No more lost homework!
• There may be a learning curve for students to learn new technology. Students
will need to be patient and may become frustrated. Children and adults will
need to work together to master it!
• Straight from the source – check out how students feel about using iPads in
the classroom!
