The document summarizes an Alabama program that distributed sweep nets to cattle and forage producers to help them monitor and manage fall armyworm infestations. In 2010, fall armyworms caused $800,000 in damage due to drought and heat. The program distributed 140 sweep nets and educated producers on monitoring with a video and publications. Producers changed their practices, scouting earlier with sweep nets and saving $800,000 of forage in 2011. Each producer using a sweep net saved on average 60 acres of forage and helped save forage on 1.3 other farms. The $7,000 program returned $115 for each dollar spent.

In this research, it concludes that while the readiness of teachers in Caloocan City to implement the MATATAG Curriculum is generally positive, targeted efforts in professional development, resource distribution, support networks, and comprehensive preparation can address the existing gaps and ensure successful curriculum implementation.
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.

Abstract Outcomes and Impacts
Fall armyworms had a devastating impact on Alabama livestock Cattlemen changed their behavior by using
and forage producers in 2010. Drought conditions and high the sweep nets to scout for fall

the Alabama Cattlemen’s Association worked together to help Each cattleman who used a sweep net
keep forage producers informed of armyworm movement and saved an average 60 acres of forage on his
management options in 2011 in an effort to keep from farm by finding fall armyworms early, and

Regional and County agents addressed local and state
