Here are a few suggestions for improving your peer reflection essay:
- Provide more specific details about the topics, concepts, and strategies you learned. Mentioning them without explanation doesn't give the reader a clear sense of what you gained from the course.
- Elaborate on how your classmates helped you during peer reviews. Quote a helpful comment one of them left or describe how reviewing others' work helped strengthen your own writing.
- Reflect more on how your writing and understanding of course material changed over time. Did you apply feedback to revise your work? How did your skills progress?
- Consider including an example of a writing challenge you overcame or a "aha moment" that deepened your learning. Rel

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.

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

How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).

3. Literacy Narrative Essay example
At this point in my life I find myself in an interesting predicament regarding my attitudes toward reading and writing; more so towards reading.
Years ago I used to love reading books for pleasure but nowadays I find myself reading things that little to no effort to digest. This includes the very
basic posts on facebook expressing one's opinion on something or articles and threads on reddit discussing topics I find intriguing. Perhaps it's the
severe senioritis that has overcome me as I enter my last semester at Chapman University. As I've gotten lazier I can see it start to reflect in my
everyday life. Deep down I still love to read but I rarely find myself getting truly invested into the action unless it relates to something I am very...show

You can feed the mind as much as you want and it will never get full of reading. Sadly, I'm not the same person that I was. I guess you could say it's
part of growing up. It never really was intentional but it's just the way how it ended up. On the other hand my attitudes toward writing are very
different. First let me say that deep down I truly do not like to write. I myself don't personally like to write for leisure or pleasure but rather I write
because I believe it is one of the most important aspects of being able to communicate with those around you, both personally and professionally.
To put differently, my attitude towards writing is that I write because I need to write and survive in the world around me. I write because I have
to, not because I want to. Hopefully this somewhat makes sense. To better explain let me make a comparison. When I am assigned a writing
assignment or I am writing because the action is being forced upon me I find myself not enjoying the process and overall the end result is subpar.
The perfect example of this would be my junior year in high school when I was enrolled in AP english literature. I dreaded the majority of the class
simply because there was so much writing involved in the entire course and therefore I was constantly writing just to get a grade. Being forced to
write in such high volume every week for an entire school year was not enjoyable for myself and as a result the

4. Essay on Writing Experience
My Writing Experiences My experiences in writing have been minimal. I have only learned the basics of writing, like putting together sentences,
forming paragraphs with sentences, and things like that. Since I have been taking college English, I can tell my writing has improved a lot. In the
future, I hope to be able to improve tremendously at writing essays, paragraphs, research papers, documents, and stories so that I have very little to no
errors with drafting and final products. I predict I will be a well rounded writer when I graduate from college. Writing in the past started in
kindergarten. My teacher taught me how to write my name over and over until I could write it with no errors. All through elementary my teachers

I need to learn to quit thinking as much on what I want to write about and how to write about a topic and just starting jotting stuff down in outline form
as it comes to mind. Run–ons and fragments I need to be able to spot and fix right away or I really need to not have any in my papers at all. My
goals are to write papers and not have to reassure myself that maybe I need to do more research or have more data or even have to rethink my
whole topic over. I would love to have the knowledge to be a tutor someday and teach other people how to properly write papers, paragraphs,
essays, and maybe even books. To have excellent skills in writing will definitely be a great advantage in my nursing profession. In nursing, I will
have to do lots of charting on my patients. I will have to do health presentations on various subjects such as exercising, how our society eats, and
sex education if I want to be a course instructor. Researching information on all of those topics I will have to make sure I do an excellent job on and
collect accurate information and statistics so that I can compare to other sources. Dictating to the doctor means that I will need to write properly so
that he understands what I am saying. Other nurses will have to be able to understand what I am talking about by my writing skills when doing shift

5. Current Affairs Essay
Current Affairs In the United States The world has and will always have their beliefs and ideas about different groups in society. Every group in
society gets judged in many different ways for example, the LGBTQ community has experienced many judgments, violence, hate, and discrimination
since 1924. It is not a secret that there is a huge problem of inequality and discrimination in the United States military. In 1993, the policy "Don't Ask,

(CNN) The LGBTQ community has fought so hard for their rights of equality and unfortunately this ban sets them back. The LGBTQ community has
had a lot of progress, but there has also been a lot of setbacks on the topic of same–sex marriage. LGBTQ rights movement has been fighting for
same–sex marriage since as early as 2002 in the United States. According to Gerstmann, in 2002 the only same–sex marriage case was dismissed very
fast by the Supreme Court. President Clinton signed the law without any hesitation that same–sex marriage was not legal in any state (Gerstmann, 9). A
couple years later in 2005, the LGBTQ community grew and supporters grew as well, because in Nebraska there was the first federal judge that
believed that there is a constitutional right of same–sex marriage for those that desire it (Gerstmann, 10). By 2015 the Supreme Court ruled in
Obergefell v. Hodges that same–sex marriage bans were unconstitutional, and same–sex marriage became legal in all states (Gerstmann, 10). Even
though same–sex marriage bans were named unconstitutional in all states, there are still some Southern states that are reluctant to see same–sex
marriages as a right. According to Gerstmann (2016), Southern states allowed bills granting religious vendors to have the choice of not serving
same–sex couples. Even though same–sex marriage is legal in all states there are some states that enacted constitutional or statutory bans on same–sex
marriage, known as

My writing styles
There are many writing styles that many people pick up as they go through there many years of schooling. Each person picks up the same type of
writing styles but as years go by people seem to pick up there own little types of writing style that separates them from everyone else. As I have gone

Run–on sentences is also another one of my weaknesses as a writer which is not as big as a problem as my weakness of verb tense use. Another of
many disadvantages of a writer in my point of view is my able to organize my sentences so they run smoothly. I need to work a little bit more on my
internal organization of paragraphs. I don't exactly incorporate quotes so that my sentences run as smoothly as they can. All together I think these couple
of disadvantages of my writing is minimal and that I can work on these mistakes out if I would proof read my papers more in depth. If I can work out
my weaknesses from my writing I will have more advantages and also be considered a better writer.
Along with disadvantages of my writing also come the advantages which make me a half way decent writer in my perspective. In writing papers I
include many interesting facts about the topic that I am writing on. This skill of being able to research topics good is something that I think is one of
my major strengths because of the ability to take the time and patience to weed through tons of material. I am able to take this research that I find and
incorporate it into my papers in a fair enough manner that makes my papers have way decent. Another strength that I posses is my

8. Essay about The Education System
The education system has been a controversial issue among educators. Requirements of school do not let student choose what they want to study for
their future. It's a big issue to force student study specific curriculums, which don't help them improve, and what they like to create something.
Educators choose a general system for education to all students which based on general knowledge. Intelligent or genius students have to be in that
system of education, which doesn't let them improve their creativity. Educators attempt to change that system to make it better, but their changing was
not that great to be an example for the world. Also, did that change qualify education system to compete other systems or not? In some examples and

Gatto is concern to society that the contemporary schooling system is trying to get rid of students' personality by turning them into obedient students
that are easy to have power over (control). Therefore, the system will produce uneducated voters that are easy to be misled by higher powers. In
addition, students are not given the freedom of choosing what they want. He is saying that public schools are not the only way to success; also,
unschooled people don't mean that they are uneducated. Moreover, Gatto encourages home–school system than public school as option because
home–school system has more independence but it's not a solution for the US. I disagree to his solution because he is supporting examples from old
generation such as Edison and Ben Franklin; however, our generation is different than before. It needs school environment like sharing our ideas in
class and helping each other to solve problems. Therefore, homeschool is not the solution to success. It is a combination of the students' skills,
intelligence, and effort that makes up their success.
Graff says that putting students in classes in the contemporary system is wasting and limiting students' potential and creativity (198). Complaining that
intellects do not meet the success standard set by schools, Graff proves that schools limit the intellect students can achieve in their academic career
(198–199).

by law. Crimes include such things as murder, stealing a car, resisting arrest, possession or dealing of illegal drugs, being nude in public , drunk
driving, and bank robbery. Crime is an act that has been timeless and has been committed practically since the start of time. For example, ever since

Crimes are frequently classified according to their seriousness as felonies or misdemeanors. Generally, felonies are more serious than misdemeanors.
Under the federal criminal law system, felonies are crimes for which the punishment is death or imprisonment for more than a year. Amisdemeanor is
punishable by a fine or by imprisonment for less than a year. In most states persons convicted of felonies are sent to state prisons, while those guilty of
misdemeanors serve their sentence in city, or county jails, or correction houses.
Crimes against people include assault, kidnapping, murder, and sexual attacks. Such crimes usually bring severe punishments. Crimes against property
include arson, automobile theft, burglary, embezzlement, forgery, fraud, larceny, and vandalism. In most cases, these crimes carry lighter penalties
than the crimes set against the person. Robbery is the crime most difficult to classify. The law considers robbery a crime against the person or against
the property, according to the case. Robbery may involve simply stealing property from another person, but when a personal encounter occurs between
the robber and his victim, it may include violence and bodily harm. This usually occurs during muggings or other strong–arm robberies.

The influence of talent shows on the music industry
In the recent years, talent shows have become some of the most lucrative and popular television programmes all around the world. The charm of such
contests is easy to fall for – wewatch average people become stars virtually overnight and we root for them, often showing our support by spending
money on voting. While there are several kinds of talent shows, those most popular are singing competitions, which aim to showcase talented singers
and create viable musiccareers. While those programmes thrive and enjoy immense popularity, they are also widelycriticised for the way in which they
impact the music business. In this essay I will try to presenthow talent shows affect the music industry and...show more content...
JamesFoley, a music journalist, describes this influence as follows: "Does [
The X Factor
] impact on thesigning and release schedules of other labels? Of course it does. They will do anything to avoid being up against JLS and Alexandra
Burke and Leona Lewis [all previous
The X Factor contestants], because they know they have automatic access to a promotions platform that other labels don't have" (Addley, par. 10).To
reiterate, talent contests have a great influence on how the music industry operates andfrom the aforementioned effects, we can arrive to the conclusion
that their impact is mostlynegative. Though they provide the market with numerous newcomers, few of those are able tocreate their own original
image or sustain their careers for more than a couple of months. While it ishard to dismiss the vast popularity that talent shows enjoy, it is also
important to remember that theymight be one of the many nails in the coffin of the present–day music industry.Works cited:1. Addler, Esther. "Is The

12. How My Writing Has Changed Essay
My writing styles have changed drastically over the past four years of high school. This memo will explain how my writing has changed and how my
knowledge of writing has improved.
Aspects of My Writing during High School
During my English courses throughout high school, I learned many things from writing simple journals, research papers, and a single term paper.
During high school, I was laid back and procrastinated for much of my work. During the latter part of high school when I wrote my term paper my
senior year, I found out that working a little every night writing a few paragraphs helped me out greatly. I was not just throwing something together just
to get the grade and the paper finished. I spent time on the paper and...show more content...
I do this so the information is true, and also in order from which events have occurred. When I wrote my term paper my senior year I was well
organized. I was required to write about an event in history. I chose India Uprising of 1877 as the topic of my paper. This topic was not interesting at
all, but I chose to write about it. When I finished writing my thesis and outline, I wrote note cards about the different topics, which allowed me to
gather all my information and organize it in which different events occurred. When I was finished with the paper, it sounded and read consistently and
it all flowed together.
How These Experiences Prepared Me for College Writing
I have written many different types of papers for all of my classes throughout high school. For my science classes, I have written several labs in the
form of essays. Writing the essays was different for me because I did not really know that science had much to do with writing. It took me a while to
gather all the information I needed to finish my lab assignments. Writing lab reports will definitely help me in my science courses in the next four years.
The journals I have written came from my four years of high school English. Everyday I came to class there would be a topic on the board. I took five
minutes each day to write about the given topic. It was brainstorming and giving our input on whatever the topic was. I think
14. Technology Trends Essay
INTRODUCTION It seems that every year people turn increasingly toward living their lives through technology. It has inundated society, families,
jobs, and lives. Three developing trends that in some ways overlap each other are specifically related to living in a technology world. These trends are
particularly important to the school librarian because many students are living their lives through the web. In order to reach those students, the
librarian must be knowledgeable about the trends and applications and be able to use and apply them in a library setting. By using them, the librarian
makes the library relevant to students, and brings the library to students where the students are.
The first trend is social communication...show more content...
TREND ONE – SOCIAL COMMUNICATION Social communication is found on the web through blogs, online journaling, emailing, instant
messaging, and micro–blogging. People use these applications to track their lives, inform others what they have been doing, make recommendations,
rant about an interest, and a variety of other reasons. There is some sort of social communication about virtually every topic under the sun. Blogs,
which is short for web–blogs, are essentially a place online where people go to write about their thoughts, ideas, feelings, etc. in their own voice in
order to share it with the masses ("Exploring web 2.0 and libraries," 2006). In a blog, someone can respond to the writer with a comment, and then the
blogger can post the comment for others to view, or they can delete it. In education or in a library, a blog could be used to share ideas about a topic,
recommend books, share thoughts on a book, share news about upcoming events, share information about a past event, etc. (Naslund & Guistini,
2008). Blogs are very applicable to the library setting. It is a place to have conversations about anything. It could become a sort of on–line book club.
The blog should invite participation. The more engaged students are, the more likely they are to care about the library ("Technology trends for a 2.0
world," 2007). Some of the more popular blog sites are blogger.com, edublogger.com, and blogsopt.com (Naslund & Guistini, 2008). Micro–blogging is
