• Nutrient cycles referred to as biogeochemical cycles
• Gaseous forms of carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen occur in the atmosphere and cycle globally
• Less mobile elements, including phosphorous, cycle on a more local level
• Still, gains and losses from outside of the ecosystem are generally small when compared to the rate at which nutrients are cycled within the system.

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

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.

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.
1. •Ecosystem: Defined area in which a community lives
with interactions taking place among the organisms
between the community and its non-living physical
environment.
•An ecosystem is formed by the interactions between all
living and non-living things
9. Chemicals Essential for Life
•Elements and
compounds
•Recycled
between biotic
and abiotic parts
10. The Biotic Components of Ecosystems
Producers
(autotrophs)
- Photosynthesis
Consumers
(heterotrophs)
- Aerobic
respiration
Decomposers
11. Producers
(autotrophs)
•The conversion of light energy to
chemical energy is called “gross
primary production.”
•Plants use the energy captured in
photosynthesis for maintenance
and growth.
•The energy that is accumulated
in plant biomass is called “net
primary production.”
13. Decomposers
Digest complex organic chemicals into inorganic
nutrients that are used by producers
Complete the cycle of matter
14.
15. 1. The Producers, the green plants, fix radiant energy(solar energy) and with
the help of minerals take from their edaphic(soil where they grow) or
aerial environment and build up complex organic matter. These are their
food. So, with the help of solar energy they convert the chemical energy
of the food to kinetic energy and finally heat energy.
2. The animals eat up plants and other animals as food. So, the energy is
transferred through food to animals.
3. When plants and animals die, then decomposers(like certain bacteria and
fungi) act on their dead bodies and decompose them into simple materials
like carbon dioxide, water and minerals which go back to air, water
bodies and soil from where they were taken.
17. Matter and Energy Flow in Ecosystems
Food chains Food webs
Food chains/webs show
how matter and energy
move from one organism
to another through an
ecosystem.
18. Food Chains
•The producers, consumers, and decomposers of each
ecosystem make up a food chain.
•There are many food chains in an ecosystem.
•Food chains show where energy is transferred and not who
eats who.
20. Food Webs
All the food chains in an area make up the food web of the area.
21. Natural
1.Terrestrial ecosystems (grasslands, forests, desert ecosystems)
2.Aquatic ecosystem
a.Lentic (Stagnant water) like lake, ponds etc.
b.Lotic (Flowing water) like river, ocean, sea, etc.
Artificial
1.A crop land, garden, aquarium, park, kitchen garden.
32. Biogeochemical or nutrient cycles
The movement (or cycling) of matter through a system.
Matter mean: elements (carbon, nitrogen, oxygen) or molecules (water).
37. •Plants die or bacterial cells lyse release of organic
nitrogen
•Organic nitrogen is converted to inorganic nitrogen
(NH3)
•When pH<7.5, converted rapidly to NH4

48. What is the Hydrological Cycle?
The hydrological cycle is the system which describes the
distribution and movement of water between the earth and its
atmosphere. The model involves the continual circulation of water
between the oceans, the atmosphere, vegetation and land.
49. Describing the Cycle:
•Evaporation
Solar energy powers the
cycle. Heat energy from the
sun causes evaporation
from water surfaces (rivers,
lakes and oceans) and….
50. • … transpiration from plants.
Transpiration is essentially
evaporation of water from plant
leaves.
• Evapotranspiration – water loss
to the atmosphere from plants
and water surfaces.
51. Condensation
The warm, moist air (containing
water vapour) rises and, as it
cools, condensation takes place to
form clouds.
