A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.

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

3. The Amazing Life of Butterflies Page 3 of 95
Introduction to Unit
Like glittering gems, butterflies add flash and sparkle to our surroundings. Butter-
flies are a delightful addition to any garden. The motion of their wings bring a
welcome sense of life and freedom. Their beautiful colors are as vivid as flowers
which they help to pollinate.
This thematic unit presents amazing facts about the life of butterflies. Students
will learn about the physical characteristics and beautiful coloration of butterflies.
They will discover that God created many different kinds of butterflies, called spe-
cies. They will study some of their unique behaviors, such as camouflage, bask-
ing, roosting, hibernation and migration, the drama of butterfly reproduction and of
course, the stages of their astonishing metamorphosis. As the only truly migra-
tory butterfly, the Monarch will be highlighted to show the migration habits of these
fascinating creatures.
Integrated activities will provide exciting cross-curriculum activities and review of
facts for students of K – 5.

Section A - What is a Butterfly?
Physical Characteristics
Butterflies are insects with two pairs of colorful wings and knobbed antennae that
belong to the animal group called Lepidoptera. All butterflies are insects, with six
legs and a body divided into head, thorax, (mid-section) and abdomen (lower
section). They have two antennae and a mouth called the proboscis, which works
like a drinking straw. Through the proboscis nectar and other sources of nourish-
ment are ingested. Butterflies also smell and touch with their antennae.

The butterfly’s compound eyes are highly sensitive to color including the colors
that the human eye cannot see (the ultraviolet light). Their feet and antennae are
used for detecting colors by touch. However, the extraordinary wings of the but-
terfly are definitely its most exquisite feature.
Butterflies have a pair of fore wings and a pair of hind wings. Each wing has an
upper (dorsal) and lower (ventral) surface lined with veins. The color of the wings
distinguishes each species. The color patterns on the butterfly’s wings are made
up of thousands of tiny scales.
Butterflies do not grow in size, but come in a variety of sizes, from the very large to
the very small. They live all over the world, even in some of the hottest and
coldest places. Most butterflies live in the tropics where many plants provide food
for caterpillars and nectar for butterflies. Some butterflies live only a few hours
while others live almost a year.
Butterflies are usually seen around flowers and flowering shrubs and trees. They
need the warmth of the sun in order to fly. They spread their wings to expose
them to sunshine. At night, butterflies may be found sleeping on a leaf or grass
stalk with their wings closed above their backs.

Why is a Butterfly an Insect?
Name __________________ Date____________________
As you explore the topic of butterflies, some children may be curious and ask why
the butterfly is an insect. Explain and show the children why the butterfly is classi-
fied as an insect.
Materials
Pictures of a butterfly and other insects (moth, ant, mosquito, fly, honeybee, drag-
onfly, wasp, ladybug, etc.)
Directions
1. Display some pictures of other insects. Tell the children to observe the
insects.
2. Ask the children to name some ways in which the insects are alike. List their
responses on the chalkboard or on chart paper.
3. Establish that an insect has three body parts – head, thorax, and abdomen –
two feelers or antennae, and six legs. Some insects have wings.
4. On chalkboard create two lists: Insect/Not An insect. Each time a bug is
named have children snap fingers if it has three body parts, two feelers and
six legs. Write the name of the bug in the appropriate list.
5. Display a picture of a butterfly. Identify its insect parts – head, thorax, abdo-
men, two antennae, and six legs.
