These are strategies for helping K-12 students develop a healthy relationship with technology. Each technique is something that teachers can easily integrate into daily lessons without additional prep or training.
How can we design better technologies with research in mind? This paper summarizes decades of research for those who are interested in designing or investing in technology supported products that focus on social emotional learning, school culture and school culture.
The purpose of this report is to provide a research synthesis about the expanded definition of student success that can be leveraged by EdTech developers, investors, and enthusiasts to support research-aligned product development and adoption. Although research on EdTech lags significantly behind the current interests and needs of the market, there is much relevant research about social emotional development and school climate and culture that is applicable to the design of EdTech tools. Drawing on over 100 publications, this report introduces 6 levers for supporting student success, each with 2 critical research-based findings.

As technology evolves and shapes our public discourse, and students continue to engage with technology on a daily basis, it becomes imperative for classrooms to serve as spaces to teach responsible uses of technology while meeting the diverse needs of students and the various ways they access technology. There is an additional level of urgency as our reliance on
technology shapes the economy, political discourses, and how we understand each other.
The Technology Integration Practices (TIP) Tools support school districts, schools, teachers, and
coaches in infusing technologies and pedagogy, tracking professional growth, and measuring instructional practices in support of equitable student learning. The TIP Tool includes: a District Assessment Tool, a Lesson Observation Tool and a Career Trajectory Tool.
Slide prepared for presentation at EdSurge Fusion 2019. Description: This talk will help school leaders understand what “counts” as evidence of efficacy from an edtech company and which types of evidence can be leveraged to gain access to federal funding.

I developed this model as a part of my dissertation research. The goal of this project was to map out all of the stakeholders that influence potential outcomes associated with technology use in K-12. This model is specific to the organization of US schools but I dream of mapping other countries as I continue this work down the road.
These slides were prepared to introduce district leaders to the design thinking process. The design challenge we worked on during this day-long introduction was to redesign high school media centers. These slides were used to step participants through each phase of the design thinking process.
Take a deep breath and check these steps. This poster was prepared for the moments in the classroom when you do not know what else to try with students. It helps K-12 teachers to remember that all unpleasant behaviors are attached to a need the student has. Once we evaluate student needs, we ask- is this student in control or not? The answer to this leads us to different paths for helping our students through difficult moments.

This is a term that I developed as part of my dissertation research. It is an adaption of the word socio-mathematical norms (Yackel and Cobb). I use the phrase socio-technological norms in my research and my work in the field to describe the norms and rules that guide the way we act and interact around technology.
This reflection guide was created as a preview for a comprehensive research-based rubric that will help teachers evaluate their use of technology. The complete rubric for teaching with technology will be released in June 2019.
This lesson was prepared to demonstrated the interactive features of an Interactive Whiteboard as applied in an 8th grade math lesson. I designed the lesson for my students and then adapted it for a school Advisory Board meeting.
This graphic introduces a classification system for the types of activities learners do with technology. This iteration (an update from Technology Activity Types 2016) was informed by recent reading and research in the learning sciences. The second page illustrates a correspondence between the level's of Bloom's taxonomy and the activities learners engage in moving from the bottom to the top of the graphic. All though this correspondence is true in general, there are exceptions to the heuristic. As always, the most important thing to remember when choosing a technology to support student learning is the alignment between your objectives, the activity, the features of the technology, and the learning context.
These slides explore whether technology has transformed K-12 education. They also present strategies for optimizing technology use in order to amplify school learning. Some of the detail is lost without the narrative. These slides were prepared for a variety of presentations in 2017. You can watch the webinar where I presented them first here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNsZUN7jgDc.

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.

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
