How Law Firms Build Trust for Your Business Online (Social Media Policy)Mike Mintz
This presentation gives the legal and business framework for corporations looking to build trust online with their customers. Through partnering with a law firm to craft a custom social media policy, deploy it to staff, and maintain continuous monitoring and litigation support, businesses can more effectively enter the social media space with confidence.
Social media is impacting all parts of organizations – and market intelligence is no exception, with new ways to listen, mine data from new sources, create “always on” communities, and understand behavior and visualize trends. “Social” technologies are changing the way people learn, make decisions and judge brands. Market intelligence professionals can leverage these new realities or risk irrelevance. This presentation covers:
• What world-class companies are learning through social technologies
• How to create a “listen-engage-measure-share” research model
• How social media can increase the value of market intelligence functions (and MI career paths) within organizations
• New best practices for using social technology to enable “wisdom of the crowd” internally and externally
It’s one thing to manage a community of 100 people, but how do you scale to a community of 100,000? Especially when they’re your customers and they all have different needs? You may create the platform for a community, but without nurturing and guiding them you may be losing control, as well as the value a community focused around your brand could offer. How do you make sure you keep your community happy and healthy while making sure it still solves business objectives?
If you’re managing communities on behalf of brands large or small, join us to discuss the challenges community management presents and how to solve those challenges.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
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.
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

How to Incorporate Social Media into your practice:
No, you do not need to be on Facebook five hours a day;
No, you do not need to create a huge marketing department;
No, you do not need to be particularly clever, witty or eloquent (although a bit
of humour and/or modesty doesn’t hurt)
24. 24
HOW to Incorporate Social Media into Your Practice (cont’d)
HOW:
Find time savers:
• Do spend the time to set up an infrastructure that will in part take care of
itself
• Use tools that curate info for you, and that filter out the noise:
– e.g. RSS feeders, TweetDeck, Hootsuite, Flipboard, etc.
– Set up lists and groups in your feeds
– Use scheduled tweets, posts, etc.
25. 25
HOW to Incorporate Social Media into Your Practice (cont’d)
HOW:
Find time savers (cont’d):
• Delegate what you can, but don’t ghost write everything
• Focus on your area, not everything out there
• You don’t have extra time - and neither do your peers and clients, so keep
it concise and brief
26. 26
HOW to Incorporate Social Media into Your Practice (cont’d)
How to be good at social media:
Listen to others first
Go where the conversations are
Collaborate and share info
Be professional, but don’t take yourself so seriously
Focus on expertise, not just volume of activity
27. 27
Conclusion
Social Media is an inevitability of modern legal practice.
Lawyers have a responsibility to learn how to use it properly.
However, we must be aware of pitfalls and limitations to this emerging form of
communication
BUT – there are so many opportunities – jump in and participate or let the
opportunities pass you by…
28. 28
Questions?
Do people take law societies seriously on social media?
How involved should law societies be with social media?
Should we even care about how lawyers behave on social media?
Should law societies regulate social media behaviour?
If so, what would be appropriate remedies?
