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

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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.

Poverty and inequality have been recurrent challenges in the Philippines and have again
come to the fore in the wake of the current global financial crisis and rising food, fuel, and
commodity prices experienced in 2008. The proportion of households living below the official
2. Page | 2
poverty line has declined very slowly and unevenly in the past four decades, and poverty
reduction has been much slower than in neighboring countries. The growth of the economy has
been characterized by boom and bust cycles, and current episodes of moderate economic
expansion have had limited impact on poverty reduction. Other reasons for the relatively
moderate poverty decline include the high rate of inequality across income brackets, regions,
and sectors; and high population growth.
After years of recognizing poverty as a key development problem and devising various
strategies and programs for its reduction, the government is still confronting high levels of
poverty and hunger among its citizens. Long and persistent periods of high poverty may harm a
country’s development path as poverty itself becomes a drag to economic growth. (Asian
Development Bank, 2009). According to ADB (2009), it is possible that the impact of poverty
on economic growth and development of the Philippines may constrain economic expansion.
Official poverty statistics from the National Statistical Coordination Board (2011) shows that
the reduction in poverty over the past two decades has been quite dismal from 38% in 1988 to
26% in 2009 or less than one percent reduction per year.

A. Rise of food cost
B. Fuel cost increase
C. Population explosion
D. Current global financial crisis
8. According to this agency, it is possible that the impact of poverty on economic growth may
constrain economic expansion.
A. National Statistics Office
B. Asian Development Bank
C. Department of Interior and Local Government
D. Department of Social Welfare and Development
9. As mentioned in the text, what is characterized by boom and bust cycles, and current
episodes of moderate economic expansion?
A. The growth of the economy
B. The problems in the society
C. The challenges in our lives
D. The plans of the government
10. Based on the selection, which agency provided the rate of poverty over the past two
decades?
A. Department of Foreign Affairs

Mankind saw a new hope, a new light after Hitler’s end. But until now, Hitler’s shadow
lives on! Yes, I see Hitler all around me…in a small neighborhood quarrel, in simple argument
between two people, even in the littlest acts of selfishness and of trying to prove one’s worth by
stepping on another’s head. We may hate to admit, but we all possess the same kind of
selfishness and crooked philosophy that threatened and almost put an end to mankind. We all
have inside each and everyone of us a part of Hitler’s wicked ambition.

From forth and fatal loins of these two foes
A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life;
Whose misadventure piteous overthrows
Do with their death bury their parents ‘strife.
The fearful passage of their death-marked love,
Which, but their children’s end, naught could remove,
Is now the two hours’ traffic of our stage?
The which if you with patient ears attend,
What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend

English 9 Listening Text
More Fire to Fire Prevention
Every year without fail, when summer sets in, we set aside
a “Fire Prevention Month” to alert everyone to the need to
make extra efforts to prevent fire from breaking out.
And every year without fail, more fires break out during
the observance of “Fire Prevention Week” than any other week
of the year.
We never learn. We are indifferent to the dangers and
destructions to life and property of a conflagration unless we
are ourselves the victims.
And yet indifference, compounded by carelessness, has
been one of the most common causes of fire. At the root of this
carelessness is our lack of discipline as a people. We throw all
precautions to the wind and leave the gas stove on when in use
or delay mending an exposed electrical wiring. Another
common cause is arson, a criminal act made more
reprehensible by the fact that all too often innocent people die
as a result. Arsonists are more than ever emboldened during a
summer. “Fire Prevention Week” when, with so many fires
breaking out, one more fire would be a neat trick so they could
collect on the insurance.
Why we are dwelling on the fire prevention when “Fire
Prevention Week” is the probably still a month away? Well, it’s
our way of saying we need not to wait for any special day or
week to appeal to everyone to pay attention to fire prevention.
An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure. So,
come on, we definitely can put more fire prevention than what
we have done so far.

Philippine Star” April 9, 1989
