Exposition
The student argues that year 7 and 8 students at Greytown School should be allowed to take their laptop chargers home for three reasons. First, the laptops are not fully charged by the end of the school day, making it difficult to complete work at home without a charger. Second, taking the chargers home provides more time to finish homework assignments and online activities. Third, if only trustworthy students are given chargers, this could address teacher concerns about items getting lost or broken while increasing the number of laptops going home each night.
There's an App For That
The document summarizes 10 educational apps for teachers and students. It provides the name and brief description of each app, highlighting their main features and why they were selected for the top 10 list.

The document also discusses the concept of digital citizenship and practicing good digital citizenship through safe internet use. It raises concerns that relying solely on computers for classroom learning could remove personal connections between students and teachers and promote a lazy classroom environment where students stare blankly at screens for long periods.
Argumentative essay
The document argues against teaching math and science in the Malay language in Malaysia. It provides three main reasons:
1) English is the primary language of scientific research and literature globally, so using English allows students access to the latest findings and developments in these fields of study.
2) Teaching math and science exclusively in Malay may improve subject comprehension but will limit the development of critical thinking skills that come from learning in English.
3) Proficiency in English is important for Malaysians to stay competitive internationally and have opportunities in universities and careers that require understanding of English-language materials and global issues.
Computer Powerpoint
The document discusses several computer-related topics: First Class, an email and calendar service used by the student's school; I-Google, a website that allows accessing email and RSS feeds; E-Mac computers, which are described as easy to use but lacking games; Blogger, a blogging platform where anything posted can be viewed publicly so privacy is important; and wikis like Computers Wiki and Wikispaces, which are helpful for sharing assignments and making up work missed in class.

Using cell phones in the classroom can provide learning opportunities if implemented properly.

However, the document also notes that cheating is a concern if cell phone use is not carefully structured, as students may be tempted to look up answers or share them without permission.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...
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

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
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.
