Is ICT Truly making an impact to Education? What do research and experts say?Learning Hero
Is ICT Truly making an impact to education? We listen into researches and opinions from experts for a discussion to help us set a directives with future ICT for education, to answer, what should we do with ICT? What agendas and directives should we set with edtech and technology for education?
Our digital ecologies are changing because the way we are wanting to teach and examine is changing. We are seeing a much greater emphasis being placed on active, authentic and collaborative modes of teaching and assessment. Therefore we have had to find new tools and techniques to help us with these new tasks online. But the reasons to engage with these new tools needs to be based on sound pedagogical foundations

Looking at Innovations in Curriculum through the Lens of 21st Century SkillsParisa Mehran
An innovative curriculum is characterized by the incorporation of 21st century skills, i.e., the essential skills needed for success in today’s world such as critical thinking and collaboration. Using Jenkins’ (2009) inventory, we investigated the curriculum orientations of Iranian school teachers particularly in terms of the precedence they give to critical thinking and students’ interests and needs. The participants endorsed curriculum innovation and valued the development of higher-order thinking skills and students’ 21st century concerns such as digital literacy. The results of this study will be further examined by comparing and contrasting the Iranian with the Japanese curricular practices.
This is an example of the 21st century curriculum design. A curriculum that is a higher order intellectual quality tasks, a curriculum that makes use of the social environment as the tool for learning and the learners develop the social regard and concern and develop action and solve problems in the community.

Assuring Best Practice in Learning and Teaching: Priorities for Institutions, Teachers and Learners in a Connected World
This presentation will focus on learning and teaching in a connected world within the Higher Education context. Knowledge is now co-created, disseminated via networks, and personalised. It has moved from being described as “explaining some part of the world” and “used in some type of action” to involving ecologies and networks (Siemens, 2006, p. vi). The presentation will focus on:
• How learning and teaching has changed in a connected world
o Active learning
o Learning spaces
o Central role of technology
• Innovative teaching in a connected world
o Blended learning
o Authentic assessment
o Professional development
• The knowledge, skills and attitudes teachers need to thrive in a connected world
o Digital fluency
o Seamless teaching
o Assuring best practice in technology-enhanced environments
o Technology affordances
o Scholarship
o Learning analytics
• The knowledge, skills and attitudes learners need to thrive in a connected world
o Learners will need a toolkit encompassing digital literacies, seamless learning, self-regulated learning, learning-oriented assessment, lifelong learning, and flexible learning pathways. This toolkit will enable the learner to tackle the complexities of the learning landscape that is becoming increasingly digital, connected, and ambiguous.
Briefly describes my philosophy of technology integration in the classroom and the roles of the teacher and students. It also provides information for what effective and ineffective technology integration looks like in the classroom.
Researchers and professional learning specialists at the University of San Diego's Mobile Technology Learning Center highlight what they have learned from research and practice about technology integration.
This qualitative study included a series of formal interviews and focus groups conducted across an elementary school district to examine the connection between transformational leadership and transformational teaching and learning in their 1:1 iPad initiative. The study examined the characteristics of transformational leadership defined as 1) vision and sense of purpose, 2) systems for professional learning and 3) reciprocal accountability for student outcomes. Findings indicate the existence of transformational teaching practices are connected to transformational teaching and learning. To effectively integrate mobile technology it is necessary to examine the contexts that exist to support the changing role of the teacher necessary to achieve desired outcomes for students.

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

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.
