The survey asked questions about digital device use, internet access, and skill level. Most respondents were able to access the internet sometimes via WiFi or data. Respondents' skill levels with their devices varied, as did the helpfulness of guidance when learning. Not all students had access outside of campus, with some relying on campus resources. Socioeconomic factors likely played a role in varying access levels.

Nowadays, Social Media is an important thing for our life. In the education, learning activites become easier when social media is used. Through the social media, students can be more creative and independent in learning, so the quality of students can increase. But everything has positive and negative side especially social media. Now I will show you about some impacts of social media for student. Hopefully it may be useful for us as the student.
Funding for services, especially computer-related, have shifted from tax to student revenue. At the same time, the UNL libraries were experiencing an increase in computer use by users not affiliated with the libraries or university. In response, a small group was charged with investigating access-control systems to allow UNL students, faculty and staff primary use of computers in Love and CY Thompson Libraries. The presentation will present the research undertaken, the implementation and outcomes of having an access-control system put into place.

Wnl 166 the role of school libraries by sumita & susmitaKishor Satpathy
Paper Presented during International Conference on What’s next in libraries? Trends, Space, and partnerships held during January 21-23, 2015 at NIT Silchar, Assam. It is being jointly organized by NIT Silchar, in association with its USA partner the Mortenson Center for International Library Programs, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
The Wrocław University of Economics as part of the ActGo-Gate project analyzed the needs of potential users of the platform for the exchange of services mainly through cooperation and study on seniors associated in Universities of the Third Age and senior clubs. Within the Polish research the potential of the national market of ICT solutions for people aged 50+ was analyzed in detail. The research work in particular included identifying the seniors’ needs, expectations and readiness for the practical application of the ICT platform for the exchange of services. For this purpose an analysis and description of economic, social and technological conditions were made, a model for implementation of ICT solutions in this area was proposed and implementation aspects were presented in the context of non-functional and functional requirements defined after the target group analysis in the partner countries. Morover, very extensive qualitative and quantitative studies of seniors in Poland have been carried out, the effects of which have been presented in the following presentation.

Managing Screen Time - The Student's PerspectiveSecurly
The opportunities and perils of giving students access to devices like Chromebooks and iPads are well documented. Until now, however, conversations around topics such as screen time, web filtering, cyberbullying, and privacy have been dominated by adults. Very little is known about how today’s youth, the “1:1 generation”, are coping with an unprecedented use of technology in school and at home. We surveyed over 400 students to get their thoughts. Some of the results may surprise you.

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

Everyone on campus is able to access digital media, by using the free WI-FI
provided by the institution or by using the computers in the library
No some students rely on the campuses resources in order to access the
internet
Surprisingly some students do not have digital devices such as laptops, smart
phones etc. and using the internet café is expensive.

provide free WI-FI and the lack of funds is a big issues
