Educational games share certain challenges with all serious games. A successful educational game needs to be both a good game and educational. Obvious, but many teams focus on one aspect and include either the game developer or educator as an after-thought. The result is either games that don’t teach or games that children won’t play. How do you determine at what level of mathematics (or any subject) a student should begin? How do you know if students learned something and how do you prove that your game was the cause? The educational component must target, teach, test and track. Is a game where the novelty effect never wears off an oxymoron? These questions will be answered, based on both the research literature, as well as our own data, from the first two years of research on using games to raise mathematics scores of students attending schools on American Indian reservations.

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.

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

This presentation provides a briefing on how to upload submissions and documents in Google Classroom. It was prepared as part of an orientation for new Sainik School in-service teacher trainees. As a training officer, my goal is to ensure that you are comfortable and proficient with this essential tool for managing assignments and fostering student engagement.
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.

2. Lack of prior knowledge Missing foundational skills Limited experiences with “doing” math “ One right answer” approach “ Permission” to be “bad” at math Others? What Makes Math Difficult?
3.
4. Strategies Constant exposure to meaningful math Allow students to verbalize their thinking Provide for meaningful use of manipulatives Help students develop “bridge” tools Create “reference” resources
5. Every day, provide meaningful math investigations through manipulatives, games, puzzles, and stories. Content example: Guess My Unit PIG Closest to 100 Strategy 1 - Constant exposure to meaningful math
6. Select a unit. Give clues about your unit until someone guesses what it is. mile centimeter pound gram inch kilometer cup decade quart milligram foot liter Guess My Unit
7. The goal of the game is to be the first player to reach 100. On your turn, roll the dice as many times as you would like, mentally keeping a running total of the sum. When you decide to stop rolling, record your total for that turn and add it to the total from any previous turns. If a 1 comes up on one of the dice, your turn is over and you score 0 points for that round. If you roll a 1 on both dice, you lose your turn and ALL points. Playing PIG
8. Roll a die. Decide if the number represents 10 or 1. For example, if you roll a 4, you must decide if you would like 4 or 40 points. Pass the die to the next player who also rolls once and decides how many points. After each turn, add your points. Play 7 rounds (you must play all rounds) The player who is closest to 100 (above or below) after 7 rounds wins! Closest to 100
9. Every day, expect students to explain their thinking. Content example: Math journals or blogs Follow Me NIM Strategy 2 - Allow students to verbalize their thinking
10. Math Journals or Blogs Everyday have students write explanations to math problems in their math journals (Spiral notebooks) If you have computers, have students keep their math reflections on a blog. (21 st century skill) www.kidsblog.org or www.weebly.com Bennett’s Blog
11. Follow Me (I Have … Who Has…?) Make your own set using this site – http://www.senteacher.org/Worksheet/46/Loopcards.xhtml
13. Select a partner and count out 21 beans. One partner begins by selecting 1, 2, or 3 beans from the pile. The second partner then takes 1, 2, or 3 from the remaining beans. The person who takes the last bean loses! NIM

15. Manipulatives should be available and integrated into every math lesson. Content example: Hundred Chart True Blue Virtual Manipulatives Strategy 3 - Provide for meaningful use of manipulatives
17. Trina wants to win a goldfish at the carnival. In order for her to win, she needs to pick 2 blue tiles out of the “True Blue prize bag,” without looking. If the prize bag contains 3 blue tiles and 3 red tiles, what is the probability of winning the game? Predict the number of wins you will get in 40 trials. Then, conduct the trials and record the outcomes. True Blue
19. Students should be taught specific strategies to improve memory and understanding. Content example: Coin Chants Rounding Poem Nines Trick Strategy 4 - Help students develop “bridge” tools
23. Students should maintain a math journal or blog to record and store math resources. Content example: Gallon map Big Inch DMSCBS Rounding Cadence Strategy 5 - Create “reference” resources
27. Estimate means to round a number Look at the neighbor and remember Round down 1, 2 Round down 3, 4 Round down 1, 2, 3, 4 Estimate means to round a number When I say zero, you say down. Look at the neighbor and remember Zero, down, zero, down. Round up 6, 7 Round up 8, 9 When I say estimate, you say round. Round up 6, 7, 8, 9 Estimate, round, estimate, round. Go Math! The number 5 is in the middle But rounding it is no riddle Round up the number 5 Round up the number 5 Always round up the number 5 ( Blue = Boy sing and girls repeat White = boys Red = girls Yellow = everyone ) Rounding Cadence written by Paula L.
