YouTube has become a crucial part of learning and teaching since it was purchased by Google in November 2006. Videos on almost any subject can be found: from learning about Pythagoras's theorem, to setting up a satellite dish, to figuring out how to draw a pie chart in Excel, to learning a new language. YouTube has become a "go to" place for learners - many of who prefer to use YouTube for learning instead of attending a class. The vast library of educational content that YouTube has become is very often a "first-stop shop" for learners, who have become adept at finding the content they need. For educators, YouTube as a resource poses different challenges. Many educators will use YouTube as a resource by pointing students to videos such as a poet reading his/her own poem, or to a scientist showing how an experiment works. Many other educators create their own content based on classroom material and publish to YouTube.
For 10 years the author has been using YouTube to create content in subject areas such as Statistics, Project Management, and Business Analysis, to augment classroom content. In this presentation he will reflect on his own experiences, and those of over 9,500,000 learners, on learning and teaching with YouTube.

First Things
1. Why Write for the Public?
Social scientists investigate and write about society. It therefore makes sense that they share this important work with those whom they study, including decision-makers. In truth, the public is very interested in what social science disciplines have to say—about politics, foreign policy, history, economics, area studies, studies of society, culture, and language. People are more aware of how relevant and important knowledge is in these fields than ever before.
A key reason is that they know or sense the world has entered a period of major uncertainty. Major challenges to liberal democracy.

By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
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

13. Think of one person you would like to connect with Think of THREE things that might interest them Now identify one value you or your work will have for them
14. Potential for new projects or collaborations New methods for existing/old questions Opportunity to share facilities
15. Bridging “East” and “West” Reducing risk of recruitment Access to people or resources in Dundee

One describes the last really interesting paper you read, the other listens carefully. Let the conversation flow... Your enthusiasms Into NEW pairs. If I gave you a day to do anything, how would you spend it?
28. Twitter - personal favourite because of the limitation on posts - just 140 characters to inform, educate, entertain and engage Makes it efficient to follow a diverse range of people Hashtags (#) enable you to follow trends & conferences without following all those posting on these topics You can send private messages (DM) or restrict your profile to invited or accepted followers only Many choose to “lurk” rather than post - a good start, but a waste of the potential of the site www.shintonconsulting.com
29. The obvious careers related site - many people are explicitly looking for opportunities. Think about who you are connecting to - your network is a reflection of your professional status. If you are seeking to move on from academia, try to broaden your network. You can engage in discussions on LinkedIn through the groups facility This is also a way to connect with people with common interests without accepting them into your network Academia is an academic version of LinkedIN which is set up for the academic career. You can post papers, presentations and engage in discussion with an academic community www.shintonconsulting.com
30. The principal SM site - has a “leisure” element but is beginning to meet LinkedIn “in the middle” A useful facility is the “business” page which you can set up for your research group, community or any topic. This is a way to connect with people you don’t want to see your full profile. Remember you can manage your profile and only post certain material to certain users. www.shintonconsulting.com
32. A few of the many content sharing websites - useful depositories of papers, presentations and other media which you can point to or embed in other places. www.shintonconsulting.com
33. articulate.com JOINING - the right SM place for me (LinkedIn and Twitter) Finding the right groups and people on the sites I choose (follow tags for common interests, follow conference feeds, follow people through connections) Posting an appropriate photo (be consistent across profiles) Defining a clear objective for my SM use. Looking for feedback and input from my community linking my various SM and find a way to manage them efficiently contributing to relevant discussions structuring my profile, using groups to help me finding the right balance of personal information in my professional feeds (enough to build relationships and establish my personality writing some recommendations (hopefully some will reciprocate) integrating SM into my daily routine (apps) Putting new information up Subscribing to RSS feeds or accumulators to manage this for me www.shintonconsulting.com I COULD START BY…

Editor's Notes
Welcome to the session – this ran on November 28 th in Dundee University for research students and staff as part of the OPD programme. See www.dundee.ac.uk/opd/ for further details of this and other workshops
A little background about me. My career has depended on networking.. As a PhD student a major breakthrough in my research came about through a conversation at a conference I got my first non-research job after working out who was best equipped in my department to give me advice – and by asking them for help As a careers adviser I built a network of peers and employers to enable me to give better advice to students And as a small business owner I must be visible, memorable and effective. I don’t advertise or market my company, so networking is a key tool in building and maintaining my reputation.
Some people find networking easy, others find it hugely challenging. What we will try to do today is to identify the good habits of natural networkers and to apply them to ourselves. We’ll try to identify out own weaknesses and concerns and find comfortable ways around them.
The four main areas we’ll cover today – looking at the good habits I mentioned earlier and how technology can help to take some of the sting out of networking And what I don't This is what I need This is my USP This is why to use me
I want you to stop feeling like this. If you think of networking in terms of being “something” it becomes more intimidating. Don’t think about going to places to network. Just go to places. Don’t think about people you need to “network” with – just think of people you might be interested in hearing more from Don’t think of it as something MAKE OR BREAK – just a moment in time where something might happen or something might not
Be really clear on why you are attractive and interesting to others
Another networking myth/ barrier – feeling you have to be the most interesting or entertaining person in the room. You don’t, but you do need to think about what the person listening will benefit from by listening to you.
We looked at some of these exercises in other places in the workshop, but they are good reminders and you can practice with them to hone your networking skills.
Sorry, this slide is a bit tatty but if I delay to tidy it up it won’t ever make it into the big wide world….
Networking is like having a board of directors http://www.cio.com/article/164300/How_to_Network_12_Tips_for_Shy_People http://manchesterpgcareers.wordpress.com/2011/03/31/networking-for-shy-people/ http://sachachua.com/blog/p/6510/
A multi- way conversation
An online neighbourhood which you can construct to your own specifications. Think about what you see as you walk around your neighnourhood - what information is conveyed to you? Who lives there? Which organisations have bases there?
A way to connect with people and ideas far beyond your geographical position. Who do you want to be connected with? who would add value to your network?
A personalised delivery of information you will find interesting - what do you need to know to manage you career more effectively?
SO, before launching into the social media universe, think about answers to these questions: What are the conversations you want to be having? What does your perfect neighbourhood look like? Who “lives” there? (general environment) Who is missing from your network? Who do you want to connect with (actual, personal connections) What information would make all the difference to your career? At the heart of SM is the user - you - identifying and selecting the SM that meets their needs. 4 questions you must have the answer to at this stage
