This document discusses and compares the pros and cons of using Prezi and Bubblus as technological tools for teaching poetry devices in an English classroom. It finds that Prezi is better suited as it allows for an interactive, zoomable presentation that engages visual and auditory learners through examples, images, and videos. This helps students make connections and understand concepts. In contrast, Bubblus is not as effective as it only allows for individual brainstorming without clear guidance on how to learn the material.
Making Thinking Visible with Digital ResourcesDiana Beabout
This is my presentation for the ACAMIS EAL conference at Shekou International School in Shenzhen, China in April 2013

As educators, we are constantly assessing our students’ understanding of their learning to inform instruction and evaluation. When we can see and hear how they are processing and making meaning of concepts and skills, we can provide more targeted instruction and support for their success. In this session we will explore ways teachers and students can use applications and web-based resources to demonstrate and document thinking and learning.

ABSTRACT
This paper focuses on the duality of roles that students and lecturers play in sharing responsibilities for creating productive and worthwhile teaching and learning environments. Taking student-centred learning as a starting point, this paper focuses on university teacher fellowship projects that challenge students to take control of their learning as a means of democratising the learning experience. This means the lecturer is more facilitator and environment creator than sage or expert and advocates getting students to trust themselves to learn as well as getting lecturers to trust themselves and let go of control.
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

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.

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.

4. The Pros Prezi is a cloud-based presentation software that allows students to see a new world between whiteboards and slides Its zoomable canvas makes the learning interesting for students as they exploring ideas and the connections between them It interacts with its surroundings, evokes students’ interest and supports students in learning, which helps students build capacity for learning as they are learning more about it and using it for study It is easy to navigate with a providence of simple tools and icons. Within James Sullivan’s Poetry Devices presentation, he addresses the deep knowledge by demonstrating a strong connection among these literary devices with a collection of simple words, images and symbols etc., and this helps students easy comprehend the learning of poetry devices. It benefits for visual and auditory learners in relation to learn this context. They can associate the ideas and concepts with viewing images and listening to videos
5. The Pros In particular, it provides opportunity for students to connect their learning situation and the real world as they see examples of each device: Background knowledge and Metalanguage (explicit language) are largely used in definitions and examples of the device, which gives a clear detailed of the device, and helps students understand and recall their previous knowledge in relation to this device Following that, substantive communication (oral, written and artistic forms) such as the visual elements, are largely used to support examples of the device. This helps students understand by communicating ideas through images and videos. Such as the slide on the right hand side, the idea of Onomatopoeia is illustrated through concise information, and authentic and relevant visual elements. Students enable to extend their knowledge and connect their learning to the real world situation as they are having a good understanding of this device (Connectedness) Throughout the class, the teacher can activate class and engage students in learning, at the same time, the teacher can check students' understanding, by asking them to apply the knowledge in any alive, relevant situations that surrounding their life (Engagement and Connectedness)
6. More Pros After the learning of all the devices, students are expected to write their ‘personal poems’ as to demonstrate their understanding of the learning, also they are given options to create their own piece of work (High expectations) This in-class assessment is another way checking students’ comprehension of the learning, it also benefits kinesthetic learners to write down whatever they have gained from the class Teacher can also guide students to integrate their learning by creating their own poetry devices presentations as to demonstrate and build their understanding of all the devices
7. Ongoing Learning with Prezi As soon as students are having a deep knowledge and understanding of the devices, they will be encourage to learn and explore more about Prezi Students can have public access of this Prezi site with a storage up to 100 MB of data, they can download finished prezis and present offline . Thus they are feeling free to use this artefact whenever and whatever they like They can also create their own prezis from any computer online, as well as sharing their ideas and stories with other students and learners They can also make use of the Prezi site to convey and identify other prezi presentations that support their own learning Every time when they create and review their ideas within a prezi presentation, they can see a series of relations between each idea, and this will allow them to build a strong relationship of knowledge
8. The Cons All students’ prezis will be published on prezi.com/explore A small Prezi watermark will be shown on students’ prezis Students can only create prezis online Not enough commenting and feedback received for most creators, so it is hard to identify any mistakes and see any improvements
9. Bad Artefact: Bubbl.us What is ‘Bubbl.us’? Bubbl.us is a mindmapping website that enables students to brainstorm their ideas online, creates colourful mindmaps to print or share with others.
10. The Cons The teacher has to provide a explicit background knowledge and give a good understanding of poetry devices to students before introducing this artefact to them Throughout the class, the teacher has to guide students and provide a series of supports such as substantive communication and social support for all students There are no clear instructions provided except a blank page of tools and symbols that guides students how to use this tool Students do not engage the learning of poetry device with this artefact due to lack of features and tools The learning is not interactive, it is only one way learning where students create and brainstorm their ideas individually It is difficult for students to connect the learning with their previous knowledge and relates or applies the learning to the real situation It only benefits for kinesthetic learners when they come to physically brainstorm their ideas
11.
12. It provides privacy for students, which helps collect personal information once they create their own account, password and email address. It also collects students’ own work and keep the work safely
