The document provides information on 12 educational apps, summarizing for each: the name, age range and content area covered, a hyperlink to the app, specific uses in the classroom, whether it provides student feedback, what thinking skills it encourages, ease of use, privacy features, alignment to student standards, and whether it includes instructions. The apps cover a range of subjects from coding and computer science to math, language arts, science, and more. Most are designed to be intuitive, provide feedback and assessments, and encourage skills like critical thinking and problem solving. Privacy and alignment to standards is also addressed for each.

Surviving (and thriving) in the Age of Technology-Enhanced InstructionMaria H. Andersen
With every new iteration of technology, we create generations of students whose primary media "language" for learning and interacting with the world is different than the generation before it. In the last five years, technologies like online homework, personalized learning software, mobile devices, learning analytics, OER, and MOOCs have been chipping away at the corners of higher education and traditional teaching. Technology-enhanced learning is here to stay and it will alter formal education, like it or not. This is a guide to navigating and thriving in this new world and preparing yourself and students for what is to come.
Beyond State Assessments: Start Building Lifelong Math LearnersDreamBox Learning
Maury County School District is changing the way teachers teach and learners learn with a new systematic approach to affect student success. In this webinar, Chris Marczak, superintendent of schools, shares how his district developed and implemented seven community-developed district-wide keys to effectively prepare students for college and career readiness. These improvements are building teacher capacity, increasing student achievement, and fostering a culture of adult and student collaboration. Topics of discussion include:
Creating, executing, and evaluating measureable goals and benchmarks to ensure TRUE college and career readiness
Scaling implementation of programs to assess student growth and close math learning gaps
Building teacher capacity through TRUE professional learning communities and collaborative internal support systems
Leading a district-wide mindset shift toward ensuring lifelong learning for both adults and students
All school and district-based leaders, and K-12 educators are invited to attend. Marczak will field questions from participants throughout this live, interactive webinar.
Webinar: Assessing to Inform Teaching and Learning: A Guide for LeadersDreamBox Learning
School and district-wide use of classroom-based formative assessment is an essential part of informing teacher planning and instruction, as well as meaningful student achievement. In this webinar, Francis (Skip) Fennell, L. Stanley Bowlsbey Professor of Education and Graduate and Professional Studies Emeritus, McDaniel College, shares a framework for school and district-based leaders to develop elements of leadership while establishing a grade-level or school-based learning community focusing on everyday use of formative assessment.
Topics include:
• Assessment literacy and the use of particular tools to guide and monitor the use of the formative assessment techniques presented
• How ongoing, everyday use of the “Formative 5” intersects with summative assessment data and frame assessment decisions
• A leadership framework to guide successful implementation of the “Formative 5,” including coaching, navigating relationships, learning communities and adult learners
All school and district-based leaders, and K-12 educators are invited to watch this recorded webinar.
Even though there are a thousand game apps available out there for the iPad, we all know that there are still educational benefits that students can get from it.
Math Mindset Comes First: Closing the Achievement GapDreamBox Learning
Students who are behind in math may suffer from “failure fatigue.” Symptoms may include feeling of nausea when math class approaches, “answer getting,” and feelings of frustration with no cure. To relieve the symptoms, we must first treat the cause – a fixed mindset where students believe that they are bad at math and will never get it. In this EdWeb webinar, Leland Kriegh explored the reasons why we need to focus on building a math mindset within each student before we focus on specific skills. He also shared five resources to help you develop your students’ math mindset and how you can foster this in the math classroom and outside-the-classroom programs. This webinar will benefit all K-12 math educators, especially those teaching in K-8; and administrators, including principals, assistant principals, superintendents, district administrators, and curriculum directors.
Tracking Progress for Tier 2 Students in Response to Intervention (RTI)DreamBox Learning
Successful schools and districts are increasing student achievement by implementing dynamic Response to Intervention (RTI) plans. But, what makes successful RTI programs stand out from less successful ones? How do educators know whether intervention is actually working for their struggling students?
In this webinar, Thera Pearce, Director of Professional Development and Implementation at DreamBox Learning, shared a framework and tools for how schools and districts can implement a more effective RTI program, including:
-A process for using data to identify targeted areas of improvement and support for Tier 2 RTI Students
-How to use data to differentiate instruction in the classroom
-Effective ways to monitor and measure ongoing progress of your RTI students

Technology in Teaching Maths
It is important for students & teachers to have frequent contact with technology that
enhance & advance:
Reasoning
Sense making
Problem solving
Communication (Baglama, Yikmis, & Demirok, 2017 )
Good tutors enhance the prospective of technology to establish learners’ knowledge ,
promote interest & improve skill in maths (Baglama, Yikmis, & Demirok, 2017 )
Teachers who employ technology purposefully provide wider access to mathematics for
all learners.
Technological tools include those that are both content specific and content neutral. In
mathematics education, content-specific technologies include computer algebra systems;
dynamic geometry environments; interactive applets; handheld computation, data
collection, and analysis devices; and computer-based applications. These technologies
support students in exploring and identifying mathematical concepts and relationships.
Content-neutral technologies include communication and collaboration tools and Web-
based digital media, and these technologies increase students' access to information,
ideas, and interactions that can support and enhance sense making, which is central to
the process of taking ownership of knowledge. Findings from a number of studies have
shown that the strategic use of technological tools can support both the learning of
mathematical procedures and skills as well as the development of advanced
mathematical proficiencies, such as problem solving, reasoning, and justifying (e.g.,
Gadanidis & Geiger, 2010; Kastberg & Leatham, 2005; Nelson, Christopher, & Mims, 2009;
Pierce & Stacey, 2010; Roschelle, et al., 2009, 2010; Suh & Moyer, 2007).

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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

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.
