Stacy Roeschlein conducted research to find online resources such as wikis, blogs, podcasts and videos to teach Spanish vocabulary, grammar and sentence structure related to the theme of architectural elements in Spanish homes. She was unable to find suitable narrative resources for her specific theme and student level. However, she discovered social bookmarking tools like Delicious and Diigo that could help with collaboration. Creating charts to organize research helped prevent "tagging vertigo". Ultimately, blogs and wikis would be better used by students to share their own research findings, such as by creating an iBook, rather than as a primary research source.

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

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.

Inquiry based project presentation
1. Sect 09 My Inquiry Based Project
by Stacy Roeschlein
2.
3. My goal in my inquiry based project was to discover if I could find
theme-related Internet-based sources such as wikis, blogs, podcasts,
videos, and other forms of narrative resources similar to those in the
“Civil War and the Southern family” example on http://webinquiry.org.
I wanted to be able to use these resources to teach curriculum-
mandated vocabulary, grammar, and sentence structure. I narrowed
my research to the specific Spanish Level I house theme asking, “Why
have particular architectural and interior design and décor elements
developed in Spanish homes? How would you design your dream
home incorporating 3 or more of these elements?” Based on Dr.
Thornburg’s criteria, this topic focus meets the requirements of a good
question. Identifying important questions is one of the 21st century
literacy skills according to Leu, Kinzer, Coiro, & Cammack, 2004.
Therefore in class I will use Dr. Thornburg’s criteria to do group
question brainstorming.

11. locate information
critically evaluate the usefulness of that information
Keeping my topic in mind, I followed the recommendations of this
course and experimented with different search engines and key word
searches. I found this an eye-opening experience, as previously I did
not believe there was any difference in search engines. I determined
that www.yahoo.com and www.webcrawler.com were the best search
engines for what I was looking for. Therefore, in my class and as I
design inquiry based learning experiences, I will list the different
search engines as a resource. I will have the students do just what we
did here - take one part of the project and practice with 3 different
engines and search strategies.

– Intellectual work, intellectual capital, can be delivered
from anywhere.
– It can be disaggregated, delivered, distributed, produced,
and put back together again – this gives a whole new
degree of freedom to the way we do work, especially
work of an intellectual nature.
– You can innovate without having to emmigrate.

Make a chart of website titles and URLs, brief annotations, and tags.
This enables the student to think critically and efficiently about tag
categories and website descriptions. This will help when it is time to
synthesize data.
17. collaborate
My next discovery was the existence of social bookmarking sites such as
www.delicious.com and www.diigo.com. These are spectacular tools for the 21st century
skill of collaboration with others to solve problems. However, as I bookmarked websites, I
started to get lost in tagging. I believe providing a chart or graphic organizer would be
helpful to prevent “textual and tagging vertigo.” As Dr. Douglas Hartman suggests,
mapping out or recording learning as a student conducts research will help keep the student
on track. Making a chart of my website titles and URLs, brief annotations, and tags helped
me become more aware of what I was using as tags and become more efficient in my
descriptions. It also helped me generate new key word searches. I will have students do
this also as it is a useful skill in organizational knowledge. Handout E-2 Questions about
the URL on p. 181 and the evaluation charts in section 07 helped me critically evaluate
each source, who is the parent company, and what might be the reason for a website design
and the message angle influencing it. The location and critical evaluation of information
are two more of the 21st century literacy skills.

21. My final discovery was disappointing. After hours of searching, generating different key
words, and scanning several blogs, wikis, and websites, I determined that the use of
resources similar to those in the “Civil War and the Southern family” example are difficult,
if not impossible, to locate for my purpose of teaching vocabulary, grammar, and sentence
structure within the home theme. Many blogs and wikis had inappropriate content on them
for K-12 education. Others did not have enough depth of information on the theme of
Spanish housing. In Section 08 you can read my synthesis of Spanish homes from two
valid websites. Handout S-1 Text Map on p. 215 was an excellent graphic organizer for
synthesis. The Synthesis Self-Checker, S-13 p. 229, will also be used in my class. I also
found good information on Wikipedia and Regional tourism sites, such as the Los
Cigarrales site, regarding specific regions of Spain and housing styles. Unfortunately, this
text was written in an advanced level of Spanish, which level I and II students would not
comprehend. Likewise, the Notes from Spain blog had podcasts and text about Spanish
culture. This style of blog is common and I believe would create a “textual vertigo”
leading students off track from the thematic goal.

25. In conclusion, for this house theme, I could not use personal narratives, podcasts, wikis, or
blogs for research. However, we could use them as vehicles to share our own research
information and to create our presentations. My preference, though, would be to use iBook
Author software throughout the school year and create our own textbook with the results of
several inquiry projects. In this manner we could create our own podcasts, videos, and
graphics to support our textual findings. Students could explore a media that inspires their
own creativity and utilize it to convey the information found in both traditional and 21 st
century media.
