Strijker & Fisser (2019 06-27) A future-proof curriculum with digital literacySaxion
In November 2014, the State Secretary for Education, Culture and Science of the Netherlands officially launched an online country-wide consultation about the future of Dutch education. Based on the outcomes and the ongoing debate, the Netherlands started the development of a new curriculum framework for primary and secondary education in 2018. One of the new themes in this curriculum is Digital Literacy, which is defined as a combination of ICT skills, media literacy, information literacy and computational thinking. Together with the other subjects (Dutch, Arithmetic/mathematics, English/modern foreign languages, Citizenship, Exercise & Sport, Art & Culture, Human & Nature, Human & Society) Digital Literacy will be part of the design of the new curriculum. A teacher design team for Digital Literacy developed a vision and elaborated this in eight so-called big ideas. Based on the big ideas learning trajectories were designed. These learning trajectories describe what students should learn in primary and secondary education.
Presentation on the trends in formation literacy, standards for planning information literacy programs, learning styles and the application to learning information skills, and assessment tools.

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

Presentation to MISA EAST – Mobile Device Learning Day on Friday February 22, 2013
When it comes to mobile devices in the classroom we need to recognize that the impact is on both teacher practice and student learning
The success criteria must be established as to what you are hoping to achieve with the implementation of technology in the classroom – is it student engagement, increased attendance, credit accumulation, graduation rates, and so on. We must determine in advance what it is that we are trying to have an impact on as a result of introduction technology into the classroom.
The SEF Document has several options to consider when looking at technology. The school improvement plan may wish to highlight certain areas of the SEF to focus on and then these can be assessed as part of learning walks, district reviews, or other measurement activities.

The ISTE Nets are being used around the world as one possible set of criteria to assess the impact of technology in education.
The ISTE Nets for teachers indicate specific skills that our teachers should have related to technology in education
Some Boards are using surveys and research reports to measure the impact of projects such as MISA, and CODE to determine if technologies and mobile devices are having an impact on teacher practice and student learning
Two sample reports from the Ottawa Catholic School Board – one done by university researchers to look at the impact of iPods and SmartBoards in middle school classes and the other done by a school Board research to look at the impact of DreamBox math on student achievement and teacher practice.
One challenge is that the target keeps moving in Ontario so we need to ensure we are aware of the priorities we are aiming to hitMichael Fullan has released a new report for Ontario, moving from great to excellent – the next stage of Ontario’s Education Agenda
How are you determining success criteria for learning and teaching in the 21st Century at your Board or school?
Discussion to get you thinking?
A tougher decision is to consider decreases in staff and increases in technology investmentsAn easier question is to look at thinking outside the box at what programs or initiatives could be stopped to save money that can be redirected into technology
Good Luck as you move along theprocess in your board
