Putting technology on trial - SLAV conferenceHamish Curry
Technology offers incredible opportunities to transform the way the library sector skills itself and the learning for the community. Technology often defines our comfort with change and our ability to adapt. This session will explore the ways in technology has shifted the balance of the expert, but not the role of wisdom. To foster new opportunities for engagement and communication, libraries must grapple with a legacy and empower people to find where innovation and risk meet.

What is academic development ~ With a touch of tech.Anne-Mart Olsen
Academic development is everybody's responsibility and we need to take co-responsibility to holistically develop or ourselves and our students to enable epistemological access, in addition to formal access in order to facilitate student success. Technology in education is one way we are able to facilitate student success through academic development.

Trends and approaches in medical education in the digital age Natalie Lafferty
The use of technology has become ubiquitous in medical education. Educational technologies have increased access to learning resources but there are also challenges and personal development needs for both staff and students to be considered. This presentation that I gave to the Galway Area Medical Education group at Galway Medical School on 7 March 2013 considers some of the emerging trends in using technology in medical education and approaches to their implementation with examples from across the continuum of medical education.
WEB2.0: Preparing students for their world not ours.Anne-Mart Olsen
This presentation is based on a paper presented at the 5th Annual IIE Celebration of Teaching and Learning Academic Conference (Cape Town):
Exploring New Learning Spaces
Vinyl is an invaluable material for giving learners experience with the fabrication process - both digital and physical. There is tool use and technique, digital design skills that can go from beginner to much more advanced levels, a wide variety of color choices for customization and personalization, and the overall joy one feels when the put a sticker they made on something! More importantly, vinyl is a great way to get a lot of laps with tinkering and iteration - meaning, its a great way to learn. This workshop will give participants a chance to "learn by doing” through the creation of a scaffolded set vinyl sticker projects, but will also have a heavy emphasize the maker-centered learning practices and constructivist pedagogies necessary to make creating with vinyl - or any material for that matter - a success in their own classrooms.
Provocations - Designing Experiences to Nurture Innovation and CreativityJames Tiffin Jr.
One goal of maker-centered classrooms is to have students make purposeful and imaginative creations. A more important goal is to develop the maker mindsets that help them to continually do so on their own - to become innovative if you will. The burden of coming up with project ideas needn't be the teacher's, but can instead be the students'. The teacher's responsibility becomes creating conditions in which children's innate imagination and curiosity can lead to creative and innovative outcomes. But this isn’t as straightforward as one might think. In fact, it is actually quite challenging, especially when you consider the material and tool options available (or not available) in schools. The workshop will share pedagogical practices that have been developed and used by veteran #MakerEd educators in their own classrooms, which span PS-12 settings. Participants will leave the session equipped with a framework that can help guide them via a more intentional planning approach to designing maker experiences. But this isn’t a sit-and-get course. Participants will make their way through a number of experiences designed using this framework to give them playful opportunities to explore new possibilities. Come ready to build, both physically and mentally!
Purposefully Exploring a Student's Worlds through Wandering and WonderingJames Tiffin Jr.
“If we want our children to move mountains, we must first let them get out of their chairs.” --Nicolette Sowder
Few disagree on the need for students’ educational experiences to be more personalized, and also driven by their own curiosities. The challenge, as educators charged with designing such experiences, is typically how and where to start. This interactive session will address both challenges by providing participants with the skills and tools needed to lead a learning expedition, while also strengthening their mindset towards harnessing a student’s natural sense of wonder. Using a customizable field guide of Project Zero VTRs and graphic organizers, we will (ad)venture out of our workshop space and into the community to look closely at the world, finding opportunities for meaningful exploration and engagement by learners. Perhaps we’ll be driven towards Arts and Civic Participation opportunities, or maybe opportunities to generate Agency in our malleable world. Each participant will make their expedition their own. And through that shared experience, we’ll then Collaborate as teachers to determine what our next learning steps are. By the conclusion of the workshop, participants will have had their first lap in an expeditionary flow that they can recreate with their own students.
Designing and Making a Better World - Boulder EditionJames Tiffin Jr.
“The best way to predict the future is to create it.” - Abraham Lincoln
The world is a malleable place. How will you shape it? - MakerEd and Design Thinking are a potent combination that can catalyze the development of learner agency. At Mount Vernon Presbyterian School and the Mount Vernon Institute for Innovation, we’ve been working for years to set conditions for our learners to be real-world problem solvers. More recently, we’ve layered in more Maker, Design and Engineering (MDE) efforts to increase the sophistication of our prototyping and problem solving. And we’ve introduced “Design Briefs” and “Provocations!” We want to share our methods and stories and learn from yours.
For this expedition, we will give participants a chance to witness the impact they can make for members of the Boulder community. We’ll seek out authentic users to have at the center of our design thinking work, and then explore the pedagogy of tinkering through hands-on/minds-on fabrication. We are hoping to engage with a hospital community for our user group, and we plan to co-opt some more advanced Maker equipment, such as a Carvey, to create higher resolution prototypes that address the identified needs of people at the hospital. HMW create playful gear to brighten the days and experiences of those in the Boulder medical community?
Real-World Learning in Size 5 Sneakers: Learning in the Field with Elementary...James Tiffin Jr.
I wonder why there is so much trash along the river. I wonder what happens to the milk at the grocery store that goes bad. I wonder why the sign at the library reads, “No bathing, No washing, No loitering.” There are a lot of things in our world that elementary students are curious about. How might we, as teachers, guide the explorations of students’ own curiosities even when those ideas might be thought of as out-of-reach for our learners? In this expedition, we’ll go out into the Boulder community to explore part of the city from the perspective of an elementary student. We’ll generate questions from our observations, then refine and define them as solvable problems through an elementary lens. We’ll reflect on ways to connect traditional classroom content areas to an authentic, transdisciplinary, real-world experience for our students, and share practices for managing that experience. Grab a Go-Go Squeeze and juice box, and come rediscover the learnable world through the eyes of an eight year old.
Prototyping a constructionist methodology for maker-centered teachers to use when designing learning experiences for their students. Based upon the idea of provocations as used in the Reggio Emillia approach. First presented on the Education Stage at World Maker Faire 2016 in New York City.
Looking at how time and space, when viewed as stackable blocks, are more moveable and useable for student-centered learning. Presentation given at the start of the 2016-2017 school year, to the Lower School faculty at Mount Vernon Presbyterian School (co-presenting with Eileen Fennelly)
Part of a pre-planning presentation to MVPS middle school faculty regarding the role eportfolios can play in documenting the learning journey of students. Specifically, how eportfolios can act as both a formative and assessment tool for teachers, and 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.
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.

18. Questions from the Survey
“Things you wanted to know more about”
More effective use of classroom
or teacher websites
19. Questions from the Survey
“Things you wanted to know more about”
"In terms of privacy and legal definition, is there
a secure way to communicate with colleagues
via online comms which ensures
confidentiality? In other words, are there
programs out and about which ensure that the
topics discussed over the internet cannot be
redistributed or transmitted?"
20. Questions from the Survey
“Things you wanted to know more about”
"One question I do have is surrounding the fact that
technology has become such a huge part of students' lives..
How do we as educators ensure all students have access to
these technologies and help them understand how to use
them appropriately?
How do administrators and teachers work together to stay
abreast of the latest and greatest trends with technology?
How do we ensure our policies on technology match trends
(do we change policies in cell phones, etc. or leave them the
same)?"
21. Thank you for your time
“And not that any of you need it, but good luck!”
Feel free to contact me with any other
questions you have.
