Brainstorming is a creative process where students generate numerous ideas without evaluation. During brainstorming, all ideas are accepted and shared to encourage participation. It allows for collaborative idea sharing and teamwork. While it takes time and requires discipline from students, brainstorming fosters creative thinking and confidence for students to participate. The teacher facilitates by managing discussion and ensuring all students contribute without judgment. It is best used for cooperative learning when generating ideas for a task.
Questioning is a central part of student assessment and quizzing, but it can also be a powerful learning tool. In this interactive workshop, we’ll explore research-based tips and ideas for achieving the full benefit of questioning. Effective use of common questioning tools -- clickers and discussion boards -- will be discussed as a means to achieve student engagement and deep learning.

imagine having 50 learners in a class with a lesson of 40 minutes. how will you distribute the minutes to ensure that every child/learner in your class gets equal time to talk. neglecting classroom talk will enhance a culture whereby a teacher moves a head with few learners while others feel not involved. this presentation gives you an idea of how you can involve every learner in classroom talk
improving classroom talk is a presentation to help teachers and other caregivers by giving them skills on how they can engage learners in class effectively. talking is the beginning of teaching. without learners talking, you will create a boring class to you first and to learners.

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

Honest Reviews of Tim Han LMA Course Program.pptxtimhan337
Personal development courses are widely available today, with each one promising life-changing outcomes. Tim Han’s Life Mastery Achievers (LMA) Course has drawn a lot of interest. In addition to offering my frank assessment of Success Insider’s LMA Course, this piece examines the course’s effects via a variety of Tim Han LMA course reviews and Success Insider comments.
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.

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.
2. The Brain Storming Zone
?????????????
Nandi Was confused. She heard her
teacher, Mr. Jones say that on Monday
the class would be doing an activity
called brainstorming.
She had never heard of such a term. Was
it that the brain could storm, like in an
actual storm or hurricane?
She thought of asking her friends, but she saw
the confused look on their faces and decided
that they could not help.
She couldn’t wait for Monday!!!!!! Mr. Jones explained all about
Brainstorming. It was not about the brain
having a storm or hurricane after all.
The class laughed at themselves after Mr.
Jones’ explaination. Tommy, the class clown,
said he came with his umbrella just in case his
brain started to rain. Indra said she wanted to
stay home just in case a storm came. And so
went the stories…………………….
3. The
End
Brainstorming is a process used for generating numerous ideas on any given topic. There is no stopping to evaluate ideas as they are
written down. It is an appropriate method to use within the classroom setting as a means of generating ideas without the pressure of
being wrong. There are many variations to this method to suit different situations (Pam P. 2009).
4. ADVANTAGES
- CREATIVE THINKING IS ENCOURAGED – Ideas are neither wrong or right, they are just ideas.
These ideas give birth to more ideas thus allowing students to be creative.
ALL IDEAS ARE ACCEPTED – Because all ideas are accepted. Students feel confident and
to share their thought on the matter at hand and many shy students who rarely engage in discussions
feel a sense of accomplishment.
5. EVERYONE IS PART OF A TEAM. No child is left out. This method allows for collaborative
sharing within the classroom. Therefore everyone feels a part of the success in the end.
IT’S EXCITING AND EASY. Students are excited about sharing and collaborating. It’s easy
as it is similar to having a conversation with frieds. There is no limit as to how far ideas can go.
6. DISADVANTAGES
IT TAKES TIME. In order to get the best results of this activity, it requires time for students to
express themselves in an effective way.
REQUIRES THAT LEARNERS DISCIPLINE. Students must have or be taught a level of
Discipline. They must understand the rules of engagement in order to facilitate a smooth
Flow.
7. WHEN IS THE METHOD BEST USED
This method is used for cooperative learning when everyone takes an active part in the lesson. It can also be used to encourage weak
or shy students to participate without the fear of failure as all ideas are accepted. It is also used when ideas are needed for a particular
task.
BRAINSTORMING IN ACTION: General Science Lesson on Food Chains for a Standard One Class
Ground Rules should be established to ensure smooth running of the process.
Discussing and not fighting: There is no winning or losing team while brainstorming. All the ideas and thoughts are
considered and given equal preference. The teacher should moderate the session so that the discussion is amiable and students
are learning. Also ensure that everyone contributes to the session.
Generate answers: Frame the question that needs to be brainstormed carefully so that maximum ideas may be generated.
Teacher would prepare a list of sub-questions that may help direct the thoughts of the students in the right direction in case the
discussion hangs or the students get side tracked. Instruct the students to record their ideas so that it won’t be missed and there
is no repetition.
Questions would include:
What is a food chain?
Is a food chain necessary?
8. What animals are involved in a food chain?
Why is it that some animals do not eat other animals or a certain type of animal?
Set a time limit: Set a time limit on the discussion. The time set would depend on the nature of the topic. At the end of the
session, a student can summarize all the ideas that were discussed.In this case a limit of 20-30 minutes would be set.
Teacher facilitates: The teacher would coordinate and manage the session without adding any evaluation or comments on the
ideas presented.
Tips on facilitating brainstorming
Here are some methods by which the teacher may smoothly facilitate brainstorming sessions in the classroom:
Simple brainstorming
Write down the discussion question on the blackboard or a flip chart and encourage students to add their inputs. After the time is over,
the students can voice the ideas written on the board or chart.
Brainstorming in groups
The class may be divided into groups. They may all be given the same topic, a paper to record their ideas and instructions on the time
limit. Once the time is over, each group will choose a student who may read out their ideas. The students may also be given a second
paper to note the ideas that they have missed out. In this way, students are able to generate and understand all the ideas presented in
the session (Zander. A. 1995)
9. Paired brainstorming
In this strategy, the students are divided into pairs and each pair discusses their ideas and notes them down.
Pie method
A circle is drawn and the topic written in the center. The teacher divides the circle into 4 or 6 parts, representing sub-topics. Students
are instructed to generate ideas for each sub-topic and these are written down. At the end of the session, the diagram represents all the
ideas that make up the total topic.
Card method
In this method, students are asked to list their ideas on a stacked card and pass it to their right. The student on the right reads the idea
that was written and adds to it. In this way, the card is passed around the class with each individual contributing to an idea. In case
someone has no contribution, they may write a question which could be discussed by the other students. Once all the cards have been
passed around, the teacher may collect them and read back the ideas to the class (Torrance. E.P 2002).
