The document discusses tips for parents to help keep kids safe while playing video games online. It recommends that parents establish rules about appropriate language, excluding other players, and bullying. Parents should also set time limits for gaming, discuss rules with other parents whose children play together, and play games with their kids to better understand the experience. The overall message is that open communication and setting clear expectations can help children be responsible when gaming online.
Morgan Housel is an amazing writer. He writes very simple yet deep insights that challenge conventional wisdom about finance, money & investments. This has key ideas from his book "Psychology of Money" and few more from his blog that I feel a kid should definitely be exposed to early in their lives.
Most of you must have experienced the gruesome boredom of waiting in life and must be aware of how stressful and aggravating it is. Whether it’s standing in a long queue to pay the bills, getting stuck in a boring movie or when your partner tells you that she wants to buy clothes but disappears for long hours - waiting is something that is not easy.

Branching Scenario for Cyberbulling Projectjoyousjune
This is an example of an branching scenario for my eLearning and Design course at PSU. In this situation, participants will help make the correct decisions in helping a mother through a cyber bullying citation.
This guide is a resource for parents who are challenged by their autistic or special needs child’s digital habits. We’ve compiled research, parenting tips and other assets to help guide your family’s journey into the digital age.
Individuals adore gaming, and that's not always a loathsome thing.
Whether played on a hand-held platform, a PC, or a TV, the games
might supply hours of quiet fun. The games might advance PC skills
and greater eye-hand coordination.
Video games are emotionally "untroubled." When an individual
makes an error, no one else sees (contrary to the public abjection of,
say, striking out in a real life baseball game). And as every error made
in gaming helps the player learn the specific action needed the next
time, the player gets the satisfaction of steadily improving and in the
end winning.
However gaming bears a few downsides. Besides being truly
expensive, many in demand games involve vivid sex and violence.
Perhaps most worrisome, they might be exceedingly habit-forming.
Any individual might become "addicted" to gaming, and individuals
with AD/HD appear to be at specific risk.
Gaming Addiction is not different from any other types of addiction that are present in human nature nowadays. Such type of addiction is not unstoppable and these are so many ways to prevent its negative effects. In order to save its victims from misery and lack of discipline in life, a support group must be hired immediately; although some individuals who are not yet suffering from its worst effects can handle it by themselves without the assistance of the authorities.

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

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.

2. Kids love playing video games.
They also love playing them online
with groups of friends.
Sometimes game playing and
disagreements can spill over into
the real life playground.
Sometimes it becomes hard to tear
kids away from the games.
3. Want to keep your kids safe,
responsible and in control of
their video game playing?
Here are some things to think
about.....
4. When playing in group
situations, have them play
where you are in earshot.
That means No Headphones.
You need to hear the banter!
5. Start with some simple rules
from the beginning.
Discuss them with your child so
they know what is to be
expected.
Be sure they are aware of the
agreed upon consequences for
not following these rules
6. Some Rules
No inappropriate language
No excluding other players
No bullying behaviours
7. Set Time limits
One of the best ways to avoid
fights about 'getting off' the game,
is to set up agreed upon time
limits. Always give a warning 5
minutes before, to ensure no
whinging about finishing a level,
just one more round or I haven't
saved it yet!
8. Talk to other Parents
If you child plays with a regular
group of friends, talking to the
other parents to come up with
similar rules makes life much
easier.
9. Play the Games
It is much better to parent when
you have perspective and
understanding. Playing a game
with your child helps you find out
whether its appropriate, what
they love about it and it can be a
great way to bond.
10. Remember....
We can't always control what other
people do online. Equip your child
with the critical thinking to know
what is right and wrong.
As they get older we lose some
control, we want to know they have
the skills to be safe responsible
gamers.

challenges of parenting with
