Online Implementation of AB 705 In MathFred Feldon
Third Annual Statewide California Acceleration Project (CAP) Conference 2019. Online learning is an attractive option to an ever-increasing number of diverse students. Supporting AB 705 in the online modality is a real challenge. Coastline College, with 85% purely online enrollment in math, is meeting the challenge.
Do your online courses tend to have higher withdrawal rates than their traditional or hybrid counterparts? Sense of
isolation is often cited as a reason for lower retention rates in online courses; therefore, an abundance of literature
advocates the benefits of building a close-knit online learning community. The question is, how do you build a
true community that inspires peer-to-peer learning? In this session, presenters will demonstrate ways they have
successfully leveraged technology to build this type of community, resulting in a decreased withdrawal rate (from
17 percent to 4 percent)in an actual online course. Specific strategies for using synchronous and asynchronous
tools to create more involved learning communities will be discussed to offer participants new approaches for
engaging and retaining online students.

How do you differentiate instruction with technology? Here are the tips and tricks for building a toolkit and creating an environment where every student can learn through differentiating instruction.
The way ahead? Promoting high performance with personalised learningBrightwave Group
The way we consume content is changing. From movie releases to learning resources, one-size-fits-all broadcast models are failing to offer audiences the depth and quality of digital experience they expect.
Are personalised learning strategies – which analyse the learner's individual needs and behaviour to connect the right people to the right learning resources at the right time – the best way for smart organisations to re-engage their learners?
See the slides from this exciting interactive double session at Learning Technologies 2016, where specialists from Brightwave Group were joined by experts from the L&D space to explore the state-of-the-art in personalisation and discuss its potential application to learning and engagement in the workplace.

Having been a tester for years, I realized that at work I concentrated mostly on the daily problems and tasks that need to be done. I didn’t pay attention to my learning progress. Until one day it hit me: I realized that one of the ways we learn is finding or making mistakes. Being aware of a mistake and realizing why it happened and how to solve it is a beginning of our learning. Same as a bug report. It’s a mistake in the software that needs to be repaired. Identifying the bug and working together to find a way to prevent the same bug to happen again is a learning point.

About Chris Waterworth
I've been teaching in primary schools for over 10 years now and have used technology in my classrooms since the very beginning. I believe in a cross-curricular and social approach to learning. Children need to talk, to play, to fail and to have opportunities to refine their work.
Technology is enabling children to do this in real-time and I believe we are on the edge of something amazing in education – a new chapter in what schools will look like and how children will become outstanding learners.
The use of quick, mobile technology available at home and in classrooms is gaining speed and I firmly believe that by flipping your classroom is a way to truly personalise the learning experience for the children in your classroom.

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.

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.

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
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. 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.
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.

15. What students like (in their own words…)
• I can help people and show them what they can do to change.
It is fun and we learn a lot.
• I like getting up there and speaking and telling them about real
life, relatable, instances. About how people feel and why they
do the things they do online.
• I like the feeling of leadership. I can add ideas to improve the
lessons, so I'm sort of like a teacher.
• I like being able to lead and make a difference for how people
use social media
• I like being able to lead a class and discuss problems and
benefits with my peers from the viewpoint a teacher or sorts.
16. Do you think it helps?
• I think what we are doing is help those students that
care about their online identity but only those
students that listen and take it seriously
• I think it does really help my classmates learn about
digital citizenship because team time tech leaders
are the same years old so they can learn because
we explain things like they would and understand.
• I am helping some of my classmates think about
what they post online.
• Although almost none of them will admit it, it will
make at least half of them more aware of what they
post, at least subconsciously.
17. What advice would you give?
• My advice is making it as active or engaging for the students. For
example, making challenges like we did so they get motivated to
try these things.
• Other schools should also have leaders and I can tell them that it
is worth it even though it might seem scary at first.
• I would say yes, and I would advise them to make it interactive.
• However, each school should firstly get to know their students, so
that as much of their activities can be relatable as possible. For
example, most of us don't meet people online that we never
knew, so activities about that wouldn't be needed very often.
However, we should have a majority of activities about posting
inappropriate things online and our privacy settings - this should
be in every school.
18. In students’ own words…(continued)
• Some advice I would give to the students is to not worry because they will have all the slides,
movies, scenrios, and every thing to say. And if the students don't want to answer there
questions and aren't raising there hand and they don't speak at all. They should just call on
them and just ask them to answer there questions.
• The advice I have is to have a good student selected that will be taken seriously and have a
supervisor like a teacher in the room so that the kids don't just totally goof off.
• Some advice that I would have is that the tech time leader should try to involve everyone,
especially when its a class that are still learning english. Also when there is something on the
board they should read it slowly. Lastly try to make it fun and not make it seem like you were
forced to be teaching them.
19. So what? Now what?
• What do you think? What might you take away from this presentation?
• What advice would you have for us moving forward?
• What do I plan to do next?
Editor's Notes
I’m sure we all can relate with these stories, or perhaps more colorful versions. Our kids are immersed in technology and they need guidance—from parents and from schools to help them. They might be digital natives, but it doesn’t mean that they inherently make thoughtful, responsible decisions or know how to approach things.
