Internet Safety for Families and ChildrenBarry Caplin
The Internet is a useful and important part of our daily lives. Many can't
remember how we handled even the most mundane tasks without online
assistance. How did we even survive when we were kids? :-) However, along
with the good, there is bad. Children and teens (but not their parents!) are
very well versed in using the Internet, including web pages, blogs,
uploading and downloading information, music and photos, etc. They are also
trusting. This presentation will give an overview of the Internet and the
inherent dangers. Learn the realities and dangers of ``virtual communities''
websites your kids frequent like Xanga.com, MySpace.com and FaceBook.com.
Learn about the persistence of information on the net and Google hacking.
Learn the differences between a wiki, blog, Instant Messaging, text
messaging, and chat. Learn the Internet slang, key warning signs, and tips
for Parents and Kids. This talk is for anyone who has a child, who knows a
child, or who ever was a child!

Some attorneys have argued that scouring social networking sites in search of a reason not to hire someone, or evidence of insurance fraud, is an invasion of privacy. But insurance companies and their attorneys argue that internet searches for public social networking profiles are similar to the informal video surveillance investigations of property-casualty claimants that are common in the industry.

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

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.

28. Peer-to-peer or file-sharing programs allow you to
share you files with others on the Internet – and
vice versa.
Be wary about downloading files just as you would
an e-mail attachment from a stranger
File-sharing networks create a risk for computer
viruses or harmful code to be shared
Movies, songs, video games and other items on the
Web are protected by copyright laws
If misconfigured, some file-sharing programs may
expose your entire hard drive to all other users of
the file-sharing software.
31. Make sure your computer is located in a
high-traffic area in the house. This includes
laptops and other wireless devices
Communicate with your children about what
pornography is and why it is inappropriate
for them.
Teach your child “Internal Filtering
Mechanisms” and how to avoid
pornography on the Web.
Check your home computer for signs that
these types of sites have visited
32. Your computer has a powerful
search function which
can indicate if someone has
visited pornographic Web sites.
In Windows, click on the Start
button in the lower left hand of
your monitor, and slide up to
search, and slide over to "files
and folders."
34. You can inspect the folder where
cookies are to look for any
lewdly-named or suspicious
cookies. Type in the word cookie
in the search field and hit "search
now." Make sure the "Look in"
setting is set to look in your
primary hard drive, usually "C,"
although you may want to repeat
the search in any additional hard
drives.
35. Most Web images are in a format
that ends with either .jpg or .gif,
such as "bicycle.jpg" or "vase.gif".
When you view a Web site, these
images are stored in various places
on your hard drive. To find all such
images in your hard drive, put an
asterisk followed by a period in
front of the name of the image
format in the search window.
38. Select “View files” and a list
of cookies and picture files
will appear and show the
web sites where the files
originated.
*Note: if there are very few
of them, someone is most
likely deleting them from
the Temporary Internet Files
folder.
39. Explain that there is explicit material on the
Internet, but it is not appropriate for the child
to view or seek it out
Search engine results, even for innocent
topics, may occasionally include links to
inappropriate Web sites
Teach your child to recognize lewd wording
and other clues to avoid actually viewing the
sites
Teach them to recognize and avoid opening
sexually-explicit spam email
40. Bookmark child-safe Web sites –
Yahooligans, Ask Kids, Kids Click, etc.
Teach children to never open e-mail from
someone they don't know.
If you or your child receives a message that is
harassing, of a sexual nature, or threatening,
forward a copy of the message to your ISP,
and ask for assistance.
41. Develop household rules for use of the computer:
How much time is allowed on the Web
Acceptable vs. unacceptable activities
What information should not be given out
What the child should do if something makes him
or her uncomfortable
Be a good role model; technology savvy children
may be able to tell if a parent has visited sexually-
explicit sites
Create an environment where the child can
confide in you without fear of being punished
42. Your Web browser software (Internet Explorer,
Firefox, Opera, etc.) contains very little or NO
history.
There are several Web browsers installed on your
computer.
Temporary files are deleted from the temporary
folder
Web Browser search bar history is deleted
43. Software filters work by
blocking access to Web
sites with unacceptable
content or language. They
are imperfect and depend to
some extent on the Web
sites' honesty in classifying
themselves as x-rated.
Examples:
•Net Nanny
•Cyber Patrol
•Surf Patrol
“The Government’s Launched a
free Online filter to protect
children from Internet
Nasties…Um…Could you show
me how to download it…?”
44. Keystroke tracking programs
are spy software that monitor
every word typed, every
program launched and every
Web site visited. They do not
censor the content, but rather
send a report to the parent or
person who installed the spy
program.
Examples:
•Investigator
•Spector Pro
•Key Ghost
