The document summarizes the various media technologies and software used at different stages of the project. Photoshop, Final Cut Pro, Microsoft Word and PowerPoint were used for editing images and videos, writing checklists and creating presentations. Hardware like cameras, tripods, SD cards and USB drives were also utilized. Websites like Blogger, YouTube, Prezi and Survey Monkey supported blogging, video uploading, presentations and audience research. A range of technologies were leveraged for construction, research, planning and evaluation of the project.
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.

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.
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.

1. Evaluation – Q4
How did you use media technologies
in the construction and research,
planning and evaluation stages?
2. Software
Photoshop is an image-editing software that I was able to access on the majority of computers in college. I
used Photoshop to manipulate images in the post-production stage of making my products e.g. the
magazine advert and digipak. As I had used Photoshop in the first year of the course, I was already
knowledgeable in navigating around the software and could do most things independently.
Final Cut Pro is the editing software I used to edit my music video. I was originally going to use Premier
Pro on the editing suites but there was a technical problem (it wouldn’t read my video files). I had little
experience with Final Cut prior to editing but once I understood the basics e.g. the blade tool and how to
add and remove effects and transitions, it became a lot easier. For any additional help, I used YouTube
tutorials.
Microsoft Word is a word processor that I used for my checklists and this helped me with my time
management as we were set deadlines for particular research and planning tasks and we also had to set our
own independent deadlines. I also used it for my lyric timing and lyric analysis.
Microsoft PowerPoint is a presentation program that I used to create the Health & Safety grid, moodboard,
collate my audience research results and for costume and location lists.
Windows Live Movie Maker is a video editing software that I used to put together my step-by-step videos
for the evaluation. I could access this program from home as it is a free software included in Microsoft
Essentials.
3. Hardware
I realised that college cameras would be in high demand so I decided to borrow a friend’s camera as it
meant that I could film whenever I needed to. It is a Fujifilm FinePix (S2500HD).
I did need to book a tripod on a few occasions as I did some filming on rooftops and by the river so by
securing the camera to the tripod this was a lot safer and allowed for steadier shots. It was also
beneficial for windy days as the tripod is much easier to hold steady than the camera alone.
I bought a 16GB SD card as the one I originally had could only hold 1GB of memory which would have
been no where near enough space for the amount of footage I needed including still shots for my
ancillary texts.
I used a card reader to get my still shots from my SD card to the computer.
4. Hardware
Apple iMac – I used this for editing my music video and updating my blog. The problem I faced
with this was that I could only access my music video on the same Mac every time but as I
shared it with other people, it was not always available for me to use when I needed it.
College Computers – I used these for research and planning lessons and I could use Photoshop
on them unlike my laptop at home.
I used a scanner to scan in my hand-drawn storyboard into the computer so that I could create
my animatic.
My laptop – I used this for planning and research and updating my blog at home.
Apple iPhone – I used the Twitter app on this for communicating with my male lead and
iMessage for communicating with female actress. I also used it so send emails to myself (for
backing up work and sending work to myself so that I could access work I had done at home at
college). I used my phone to check the weather for filming and to take shots and videos for my
filming diary. I also used my phone to take screen shots of the iTunes Store, Spotify app and
Music app so that I could then Photoshop my product into these mediums as example of how
my product would look in existing media. I used the notes and reminders for my own personal
organisation e.g. outstanding things I needed to put on my blog or a shot list for a particular
filming slot. I used the Voice Memos to record my voice overs for the step-by-step tutorials in
the evaluation.
SanDisk 32GB USB stick – I used this to store my work throughout the process as this meant I
could continue with work I had done at college at home. As the size of memory available is large,
I found this advantageous as it meant I could store anything from music video drafts to class
presentations that I had downloaded from Moodle (student intranet).
5. Websites
Blogger – I used this to post all of my A2 Media portfolio work which was useful for not only me to
keep track of my progress but also my peers and teachers as feedback is an integral part of the
process. This site also has the ability to embed Youtube and Vimeo clips, Prezis, Slide share
presentations and also upload images and videos.
Moodle – This is the student intranet in which I was able to access all of the class presentations
covering theories, blog checklists and A Grade example blogs. I also downloaded the digipak template
from here and was able to monitor deadlines.
6. Evernote – I used this for my filming diary as it’s layout is similar to a diary so I thought it would be
visually engaging and exhibits my ability to use a range of presentational devices.
eBay – I used it to purchase the ballerina music box and this was simple to do as I already had an
eBay account.
7. Prezi – I used it to create more interesting presentations as an alternative to PowerPoint and it allowed me
to use different media within the presentation such as voice overs, inserting images and YouTube clips. Prezi
also allows you to share and embed your presentations and it is an account based website so all of my
presentations were stored in the same place and I could access them from any computer I wanted to.
Google - I used this search engine for majority of my research and I was able to access photos and videos of
existing products.
8. YouTube – I used this to post my drafts of my music video and I also uploaded my step-by-step tutorials for the
evaluation as this made it easier to embed into posts on my blog. In the research stages I used YouTube to look at
existing music videos to help me understand the codes and conventions of my chosen form and genre and also for
inspiration.
TimeGlider – I used this to create a timeline for my History of Medium – I think the visual aid of it being an actual
timeline helped me get my head around all of the many important historical and contemporary events that have
structured how music videos are constructed today – it is easy to go back and look at as it not set out using
massive indigestible chunks of texts.
9. Slide share – I used this as a way of presenting my PowerPoint presentations which is more effective and
accessible than uploading each individual slide.
Survey Monkey – I used this to create my audience research surveys as this then affected how I would construct
my products because in order for it to be a relatable and successful product I had to adhere to audience needs and
expectations.
10. Urban fonts – this website allowed me to access a range of fonts that were closer to ones I had seen used
in existing products rather than the ones available in Photoshop and Microsoft Word.
Wordle is website that generates word collage from the text that you enter into it and the larger the word
the most frequently it appeared in the text. I found this a very useful site for collating my audience research
results as one of the questions were ‘what three words/phrases first come to mind in relation to ‘domestic
abuse’?’ so using the word collage I was able to identify which words appeared most frequently and use it
as an influence for my products.
11. WeVideo is a free video editing software that I used to create my textual analyses. It allowed me to upload
the music video , add a voice over the top of it and uplaod images.
Online converter – I used this to convert my video files from ‘.mov’ to ‘.wmv’ files as I had recorded them
on my iPhone and Windows Live Movie Maker could not read them.
