This document outlines a 5-step process for teachers to find their voice and build an online platform:
1. Understand your power to influence and decide your values and priorities.
2. Choose your preferred social media platforms and topics to share based on your strengths and interests.
3. Develop realistic habits such as scheduling posts in advance to consistently share your message outside of classroom time.
4. Focus on building relationships and highlighting other educators rather than selfish promotion or arguments.
5. Start small by committing to one daily habit, such as blogging or podcasting, to make an impact.

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.

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.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

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.

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

Passion, and
Build a
Platform

2. Outline of Today’s Presentation
Finding your voice! – 5 Ways
1. Understand your power to influence
2. Decide your “to be” and “not to be” list
3. Decide your “to do” and “not to do” list – Platform choice
4. Decide your “to do” and “not to do” list -- Topic Choice
5. Decide on realistic habits to make the world a better place.
5 Ways to Find Your Voice, Share Your Passion, and Build a
Platform
22. “Email, banner, and search
engine results are going
down except for those who
have a social component”
Gary Vaynerchuk
@garvyvee
23. What is
popular?
Youtube 1 billion
active users
Google Plus 375
million (2016)
Voxer -- ?? (they
don’t tell us)
Flipboard??
Installed on 300
million devices
with 7 million
magazines ??
39. Step 2: Who do you
want to be?
Design your own strategy. Let’s do this!
40. I want to be
encouraging to
teachers. We need
great men and women
to help this profession
and I want
to be one of them.
41. Examine our
“to be” list
before
we make our
“to do” list
hat tip – Angela Maiers
42. Why do I share?
• Because it is my calling
• To be helpful
• To be inspiring
• To be a counterbalance to all of the negative stuff
coming at teachers
• I LOVE IT.
44. I do not want to be
someone who plays
king of the hill. I want
to make a bigger hill.
45. Perspective
I do not want to be someone
who uses influence for selfish
things but to shine the
spotlight on the amazing
teachers out there.
If I have a spotlight, I’m going
to grab a mirror and shine it
on all the other great
educators out there.
46. Not to be!
I do not want to be
someone who argues,
acts unkind, or lets the
trolls or critics get to
me. I will be bravely me
because I’m terrible at
trying to be anyone
else. Problems are an
opportunity to teach so
I will be transparent
when it fits with my
purpose.
47. Not to be!
I do not want to be a
teacher who shares on
social media while I
should be teaching. I’d
be a hypocrite. So, I’ll
schedule my tweets
and posts on my
personal time. When
I’m at school, the focus
is my students!
48. Not to be!
I do not want to be
someone who ignores
my family while helping
people “out there” who
don’t need me as much.
I will focus on those
relationships with
people for whom I can
be the only one to do
that job. (i.e. be a Mom
and wife.)
49. What is your not to be?
Why?
(page 2 – Step 2A and
2B)
50. Step 3: What do I
want to do?
Choose your platform
51. How Will I Share?
• In ways that have the most impact
• Follow the trends
• Listen to friends
• In ways I can do outside class time
• Scheduling Tools
• I must be a great teacher or I’m a hypocrite.
• In ways that suit my strengths and interests
• I play with stuff and reflect on what happens!!!
• I will always be ethical and disclose all relationships but I will only
recommend companies and products that I would recommend anyway.
52. When Do I Share?
• Mornings between 6am – 7 am, I schedule posts, etc.
• I set blog posts to Tweet and go out automatically
• I automate everything I can!
