1) Four fish - Gilbert, Emily, Nicole, and Maddy - discover a "dead zone" in the Chesapeake Bay filled with dead sea creatures.
2) They realize the entire bay has become contaminated and devoid of oxygen, endangering their survival.
3) The fish are able to get food that was stolen by crabs by letting the crabs cut their gills, allowing them to breathe easier in the low-oxygen environment.
4) With their new ability to breathe, the fish are able to survive and escape the dead zone.

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.

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

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.
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.

SURVIVING FISH FRIENDS
MORAL – Survive with the things you have and can find and work as a team.
Once upon a time, in the Chesapeake Bay, four fish, Gilbert,
Emily, Nicole, and Maddy, were swimming peacefully in the
waters. The Chesapeake is home to many of the sea creatures of
many different shapes, sizes, and kinds.
Gilbert, a fun flounder, loved to play sea ball. He was always
very talkative and always had a big smile on his face. Emily, a
bluefish, was the creative one of the group. She would always be
coming up with new ideas or learning something new to share with
the rest of our Chesapeake friends. Nicole, a puffer fish, was a
friendly, loving fish, and always had her arms open for someone.
She was always wandering around, looking for new adventures.
And finally, Maddy, an angel fish, who loved to make new friends.
She always had a welcoming personality that would make you feel
great on the inside.
One day, when they were playing sea ball, they noticed
something a little different about the bay. Less and less fish would
play with them. They saw something coming towards them. They
watched a dead crab shell float past them. They looked toward the
direction the crab came from.
“Hey, look! That’s something you don’t see everyday!”
Gilbert exclaimed.
“Let’s go check out where it came from!” Nicole said, as she
raced off.
“Maybe we shouldn’t! There could be a murderous giant
squid in there!” Maddy said nervously.
“Oh, come on! It will be fun!” Nicole replied.

Once they reached what looked like where the dead crab had
come from they couldn’t believe their eyes. There wasn’t a
murderous giant squid like what we expected to see but, a pile of
dead crabs, fish, and other sea creatures that were probably dared
to enter that place.
“I’ve heard of these places before! They’re called dead
zones! They sounded bad, but not as bad as this!” Emily
mentioned.
Maddy looked over at the dead crabs and said, “Aw poor
crabs!” She was just about to enter the dead zone when Gilbert
pulled her back.
“You know. Something is a little fishy about this place.” said
Nicole.
“Oh, sorry that’s me…” Gilbert said, “I forgot to take a
shower this morning.”
“No! Does anybody feel like it’s hard to breathe here?” she
replied.
Emily and Maddy put they’re fins on their mouths and
mumbled, “Yeah. I’f smellfs therable fere! We bethher get outtha
here, or we’ll run out of oxygen!”
After that, they turned and saw Gilbert swimming ahead of
them already! They darted off as fast as they could, swimming to
their home. When they got there they realized their home had
turned into a dead zone too!
“There’s no escaping!” Gilbert whined. He grabbed all the
food he could hold, even though probably contaminated, and
darted off. It seemed that the whole bay had turned into a dump. It
was disgusting! All were barren and empty, all food like plants
gone, and algae covered the surface.

“This place is horrible! If we didn’t live on oxygen we could
live here. It would be great if we had something to breathe with!”
Maddy said.
“Well, I guess we’ll have to find a way,” Emily added.
At that very moment Gilbert got pinched by a grumpy
Johnny crab. He drops all the food they had left and, we all
watched it float off into the dead zone.
“Oops!” said Gilbert.
“That was ALL of our food! Why did you let go of it?”
Emily shrieked.
“Sorry….. It wasn’t me! It was that crab, and he has all our
food!” he replied.
“We have to find a way to get our food back.” Maddy said
looking directly at the dead zones.
“Let’s go! I’m not afraid of a dead zone or an old crab!”
Nicole said.
“Well I am. There is no way I am going in that place. Who
knows what could be in there!” Maddy exclaimed.
“But we neeeeeed you to come. Were all in this together, and
don’t forget. You are so good at getting the other fish to
understand,” Nicole said with a smile.
She pulled at her fins and then said, “Well, alright I guess I’ll
come. We are all in this together. Sorry about that,” she said shyly.
They all approached it slowly before Nicole took off into the
murky water.
“I see our food! It’s over there with those crabs!” Emily said.
“Let’s go!” They got closer and closer to the crabs.
“Aw they look so hungry. Poor crabs!” Maddy said.
“But we’re hungry too!” Emily shrieked! “We have to
survive.” They were so close they could almost touch it. Snap! ,
went one of the crabs.

“Hey, get your dirty little claws off me!” said Gilbert. He got
cut three times on both of his sides. Then, all of the crabs snapped
into action. They cut the rest of us, and we all had gashes on our
sides in a matter of seconds!
They watched Emily wipe some blood off of the side of her.
“Hey, look. Does anyone else feel a whole lot better?” Emily
said.
“I do! It's much easier to breath now.” Gilbert said. They all
got three cuts on both of their sides.
Nicole grabbed the all the food while the rest distracted the
crabs.
“Go, go, go! Swim as fast as you can! I got our food back,"
she said. The distraction didn’t have to last long. Some crab
catchers reached in to the water. They scooped up all of the crabs.
“Bye!” Gilbert yelled and waved goodbye.
“Don’t be so mean to them! Think about if you were in their
shoes!” Maddy said with a frown. They all giggled at the funny
comment.
“Well, I guess we can go home now since we can survive
better with our gills.” Nicole said.
After that, they went home and all lived happily ever after.
