The document discusses the five themes of geography used by scientists to study the Earth's features: location, place, human-environment interaction, movement, and region. It defines each theme and provides examples to illustrate key concepts for each one. The five themes framework helps geographers understand how people and the environment interact in different parts of the world.

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.

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.

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

1. The Five Themes of
Geography
By Nicole Copeland
How Do We View the World Around Us?
2. What is Geography?
Geography is the “study of the
earth''s surface; includes
people''s responses to
topography and climate
and soil and vegetation”.
–"geography." Definitions.net. STANDS4 LLC, 2013. Web. 4
May 2013.

What the Earth looks like.
How people interact with the
environment

4. Movement
Humans interact with each other as
well as many places and things almost
every day. We travel from place to
place; we communicate with each
other in many different ways; and we
depend on products, information, and
ideas that come from outside our own
environments.
MOVEMENT explores where
different resources are located, the
people that use them, and how they
are transported to locations all over
the earth’s surface.
The theme of MOVEMENT helps
us understand how we connect
with, and depend on, other regions,
cultures, and people in the world.
All ClipArt from
Microsoft ClipArt. 2007
6. Regions
Regions may be created based on:
Same Climate (weather trends)
Location (where it is on a map)
Languages & Cultures of the people
Landforms (mountains or plains, wetlands or desert)
Examples:
North America/South America (based on location on the map)
Latin America (primarily Spanish speaking countries)
Scientists divide the Earth’s land into sections,
called Regions, based on certain traits those
sections share.

8. Human-Environmental Interactions
How people interact
with their
surroundings.
People depend on their
environment.
We depend on the land (soil)
to grow food.
We depend on rivers and
streams for drinking water &
or transporting goods.
People modify (change)
the environment.
We pave roads to travel on.
We clear land to build
houses & buildings on.
People adapt to their
environment.
We wear lighter clothing in
the summer (warm/hot) and
wear heavier clothing in the
winter (cold).

9. Human-Environmental
Interaction cont…
There are consequences as well as
benefits to the actions we take in
interacting with our environment:
Positive:
• More interaction between people of different cultures
Negative:
• Faster use of the Earth’s natural resources.
• Air pollution
• Global warming

10. Location
The theme of Location answers the question:
“Where is it?”
It describes where a place is on Earth. There
are two kinds of location:
Absolute location:
• The exact location of a place on Earth.
Relative location:
• Location of a place when compared to other places.
11. Location cont.
Absolute location:
• The exact location of a place on Earth.
• Examples:
• Degrees of latitude and longitude on a globe or
map.
• Address of a house or building.
• The Latitude & Longitude of Michigan is:
44.3148443 N , 85.60236429999998 W - this is Michigan’s
absolute location on a map of the Earth.

Relative location:
• The location of a place in relation to other
places.
• Usually described by:
• Direction (North, South, East, West)
• Landmarks that are nearby
• Distance to or from another place
• Examples:
• Our school is West of Telegraph Road, and four blocks
from the fire station.
• My house is on Ann Arbor Trail, across the street from
the gas station.
13. Place
The theme Place answers the question:
“What is it like there?”
• A place is often known by its own special
characteristics.
• Characteristics are special traits or qualities that a
place can have.
• Types of characteristics for Place:
• Human
• Physical
14. Place cont.
Human Characteristics:
• The main customs, languages, and beliefs of the people
in a certain place.
• Special traditions or holidays
• Clothing styles
• Political ideals
• Architecture (how buildings are made)
