Social Media networks have broad acceptance in current status. Almost everyone who has access with internet is linked with some kind of social communication using available social medias. Now social Medias are providing lots of utility to its users. This paper studies utility of its are useful for all learners . So the paper explain usefulness of any type of media in any field of education. Youth gain lot's of knowledge through technology in society .That why it is important for young learners Social media can be used effectively to build brand awareness, as well as by people to share brand positives and negatives. The point is that no matter how you slice it social media isnt a passing fad. It is becoming a standard communication platform that has dramatically changed the way that brands and consumers interact with one another. Mrs. Madhu | Miss. Shreya | Miss.

Innovation + new processes - speeding up adoptionPsych Press
New changes in the workplace and innovative ways to do things are often at the forefront of a manager's mind. But without a sound knowledge of how to implement and keep these processes running smoothly, the best ideas can fall apart. We look into the fundamentals that allow new innovations to become a staple part of a culture so that you can get the most out of new changes and excellent ideas.

Critical Take-Aways:
1) The Cognitive Load of learners is a critical bottleneck that limits the impact of educational interventions or learning experiences.
2) The Learning Actions Model is an novel instructional design technique that frees up working memory by minimizing extraneous load
3) Leveraging Agile Education Design ensures that the learning experience and the learning environment are refined and optimized over time
4) Apply these insights to decide whether generational differences materially impact learning effectiveness
This presentation was original shared on April 8th 2015 as part of #CMEpalooza and is intended to support healthcare educators who struggle to drive real change through theor educational interventions
Overview:
While the stated goal of medical meetings is often rooted in the intended audience learning about a new product, new test, or new research finding; medical meetings are rarely designed to support real learning. As a result countless hours and resources are spent planning and implementing meetings the impact of which often fails to meet these stated goals. This session will explore three key educational concepts that drive learning and enhance impact.
Following this session attendees should be prepared to:
Plan meetings with the understanding of the challenges of cognitive load,
Introduce elements into meetings that support the natural learning actions of adult learners, and
Develop an expectation and framework that supports agile education design.
This talk was originally created for a Philly Edtech meetup to be held on April 10th 2014. The goal was to highlight why educators may be under-designing their education and new ways they should think about their role in learning.

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.

Lets take a minute or two to ground the arguments that I make and to align them with the powers-that-be because if we are going to make the changes that the ‘leaders of the healthcare community’ have been debating for years we need a story to tell our corporate leadership. What I will try to do in the next 35-40 minutes is to lay out that story for you. Each of you will have to fit in your local evidence in the right places, but we may be able to leave w/ an agreement on where our current systems fail and a defensible vision of what our grant making models could look like and how we can lead change in the way CE is implemented and integrated in the US…but don’t lose the basic premise: how good is the enemy of great…and in the current climate we no longer have the luxury of being good enough – we need to accelerate changes in healthcare quality or get out of the road of those who are trying to do so.

Title: Physician Adoption and Use of Social Media to Share Medical Knowledge with Other Physicians Authors: Molly Wasko, PhD; Bryan Vartabedian, MD, FAAP; Robert S. Miller, MD, FACP; Desirae Freiherr, MS; Debi Susalka; Mazi Abdolrasulnia, PhD†; and Brian S. McGowan, PhD† † Dr. McGowan and Dr. Abdolrasulnia share senior author responsibilities Background: Recent advances in information and communication technologies (ICTs), especially Web 2.0 technologies, have significantly expanded the ways in which physicians can share medical knowledge with one another. With the growing demand for more meaningful use of IT in healthcare, more research is needed on physician adoption and use of ICTs as collaborative tools to synthesize, share and contribute knowledge. Objectives: The objectives of this research were to (1) study the adoption and use of 13 of the most commonly used ICT applications to share medical knowledge with other physicians (texting, email, podcasting, blogs, wikis, RSS feeds, cell phone apps, iTunes, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube and restricted online communities (e.g. SERMO)); (2) compare the number of users who claim that they “Will Never Use” these ICTs with the number of users that are “Current Users”; and (3) examine whether there are important differences between two physician practices: oncologists and primary care physicians (PCPs). Methods: We surveyed 491* practicing clinicians across the United States: 191 oncologists and 300 PCPs. The survey was designed to capture data about the distribution of physicians currently using the different types of technologies and to assess physicians’ intentions to adopt the technologies by non-users. The percentage of physicians across the categories were assessed (not aware of this application, will never use, unlikely to use within 3 months, not sure, likely to use within 3 months, very likely to use within 3 months, and current user). Comparisons across technologies, and between oncologists and PCPs were examined. Results: A total of 491 (27%) of 1800 eligible participants responded. Respondents were least likely to be aware of RSS feeds (22%) and LinkedIn (14.3%). Email is the most widely used (70.5%), followed by restricted online communities (51.5%), texting (39.5%) and cell phone apps (35.6%). The technologies with the lowest percentage of adoption were RSS feeds (5.5%), Twitter (6.7%), LinkedIn (10.4%) and blogs (10.6%). In terms of non-adoption, physicians responded that they will never adopt Twitter (32.6%), Facebook (21%), blogs (21%) and YouTube (20.8%). Only 1% of physicians claim they will never use email. Restricted online communities, such as SERMO, have widespread awareness and usage among physicians. In comparing oncologists with PCPs, overall, PCPs were less likely to be non-adopters across all technologies. Oncologists who have already adopted the technology were more likely than PCPs to adopt email, podcasting, texting, restricted online communities, RSS feeds and cell phone apps. PCPs were more likely to have adopted YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn, iTunes, Wikis, Facebook and blogs. This suggests that PCPs have been earlier adopters of social media technologies, while oncologists have been earlier adopters of more traditional, uni-directional communication technologies. While Twitter adoption was lowest and had the highest physician skepticism, the 6.7% adoption rate is not that different from the current percentage of US adults who have adopted Twitter (8.7%). Conclusions: Physician adoption of different ICTs varies widely and appears to covary with type of practice, with PCPs being more open to new technologies in general, and more likely to use technologies typically referred to as “social media.” Oncologists were more skeptical adopters overall, but were more likely to have adopted technologies used for knowledge dissemination/broadcasting over sharing/collaboration. These technologies have received wider adoption (more users than non-adopters) than social media technologies overall. Healthcare IT systems that incorporate technologies such as email, restricted online communities, cell phone apps, iTunes and wikis may have wider adoption by physicians. PCPs are less likely to be technology skeptics. Overall, fewer PCPs reported that they would never adopt a technology than oncologists across all technologies. However, oncologists who have already adopted the technology were more likely than PCPs to adopt email, podcasting, texting, restricted online communities, RSS feeds and cell phone apps. PCPs were more likely to have adopted YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn, iTunes, Wikis, Facebook and blogs, indicating that PCPs have been earlier adopters of social media technologies, while oncologists have been earlier adopters of more traditional, uni-directional communication technologies. Although Twitter ranked the lowest in terms of adoption, at an overall adoption rate of 6.7% of respondents indicating current users, this is not that much different from the US adult population, which at the time of this study was approximately 8.7%. This study was supported by Pfizer, Inc. *Note: 491 respondents included 6 respondents who were classified as “other” based on degree. The “other” category included 5 respondents in the oncology sample and one respondent in the PCP sample.
