This document discusses how technology can be used to teach contemporary poetry in the classroom. It provides examples of online resources like poetry blogs, podcasts, and motion poems that expose students to modern poetry. The document also lists several reputable websites from organizations like the Poetry Society of America and Academy of American Poets that provide tools and archives of contemporary works. It suggests how the internet can be used to research poets, read and analyze poems, and develop creative writing skills through prompts. The presentation concludes by demonstrating an app called Ask3 that allows for virtual teacher-student interaction through video screencasts.
Wayne State University Libraries and Detroit-area K-12 schools (primarily in underserved areas) collaborate on the Chapbook Project, a poetry and art initiative aimed at advancing student literacy and strengthening the University’s ties to the community. The project expanded this year to include schools in Mexicantown, a unique community in Southwestern Detroit with a student body comprised of English-speakers, bilingual students, and English Language Learners. It is the project’s goal to promote self-esteem by emphasizing the value of literacy and the power of positive self-expression.
This article describes the main problems that science education faces in industrialised countries: a general negative opinion of the sciences, a decline in the number of students choosing to study science and a decline in the number of students signing up for doctorate programmes in science. The article puts forward the hypothesis that all this is the result of a conflicting scenario: students have postmodern identities, while education is modern. To this end, the article reviews the main philosophical and sociological ideas about post-modernity, and the criticism of modern education that has arisen from same. The article then goes on to describe the difficulty that postmodern discourse has in propounding a genuinely postmodern pedagogy. Finally, it proposes the idea that performativity theory could participate in the conflicting scenario of science education.

AMPQ - Thinking the event, thinking change - A new theory of change for psych...Université de Montréal
Event refers to an occurrence or experience in the lifeworld of human beings which is an exception or rupture that opens new horizons in life. It derives from Being and Event, the key work of philosopher Alain Badiou which updates and replaces subjective phenomenology, the dominant philosophy of the 20th century that was introduced into psychiatry a century ago through the seminal work of Karl Jaspers. Phenomenological psychiatry became the exemplary model for clinical psychiatry for much of the last century, with many elaborations and refinements by figures as diverse as Eugène Minkowski, Ludwig Binswanger and Ronald Laing.
Badiou’s evental thought outlines a new objective phenomenology for philosophy and the human sciences, including psychiatry. Ever since its foundation by Edmund Husserl, phenomenology has had pioneering psychiatrists apply its philosophy to clinical practice. Husserl inspired Jaspers’ phenomenological psychiatry, while his successor Martin Heidegger’s Being and Time inspired Binswanger’s existential analysis. Sartre’s reading of Heidegger in Being and Nothingness inspired the social phenomenology of Ronald Laing. Our generation now has the inspiration of Badiou’s objective phenomenology in Being and Event to revision psychiatry today. The author recently conducted philosophical investigations supervised by Badiou for his doctoral dissertation entitled Trauma and Event which re-examined trauma by contrasting it to the Event. Working closely with Badiou, the author proposes that the pivotal notion of the Event offers psychiatry and all forms of psychotherapy (from psychoanalysis to family therapy to cognitive therapy) a theory of change (evental being), a new definition of the subject (evental self), and therapeutic practices (evental therapy) that flow from that. Badiou affirms that the author’s proposal for an evental psychiatry opens a broad new horizon for philosophy and for psychiatry.
The presentation will outline three possible model Events for psychiatry and for psychotherapy with clinical illustrations. As well as describing the phenomena of psychiatry in a new, objective way and offering a new theory of change, evental psychiatry also accounts for a new definition of the subject of psychiatry and psychotherapy, the evental self. The self that emerges from the Event will be outlined and linked to contemporary issues in clinical psychiatry.

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

Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
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.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
2. Technology Integration
Rationale:
Poetry is an extremely prominent component of
Literature. Although not as popular as it once was,
there are still many contemporary poets who continue
to keep this art of expression alive. Technology allows
students to search and read poetry through online
catalogs, allows them to watch videos of poets giving
public readings of works, create their own digital
poems, and publish their poems to the general public.
Since poetry heavily relies on the stimulation of senses,
incorporating technology provides this stimulation in a
way that caters to the different learning styles of
students.
3. Internet Content
The Internet provides countless
resources that can help students learn
about, read, and create their own
contemporary poetry.
All sites that are used in this
presentation are from reliable sources
that were thoroughly examined before
posting.

Students can use this site as a way to create poetry blogs of their own, as well as to discover new authors and their poetry. This blog also enables students to focus on their personal poetic interests by having the freedom to creating their own blogs, search for specific types of poems, and rate/comment the works of others. The class as a whole could perhaps create a blog, where each students posts a particular poem that they would like to share with their peers. Website link: http://www.poetryblogs.org/
Today, many students are familiar with podcasts and may have accessedthem at one time or another. This podcast is beneficial because students who are auditory learners may find these podcasts especially appealing and more intriguing than simply reading poems. The “Lumberyard” features poetry, prose, and music, including works from contemporary poets like Marilyn Nelson.
Students may find this website to be a unique perspective on poetry. It incorporates imagery with the poem in auditory form. Also, students can read the poem first before watching the video, which may be helpful in the process of understanding the contexts of the works. Because of the visual stimulation from the video format, conveying poetry in this way may feel more relatable or intriguing to students.
*The picture was taken directly from the resource website.*On this website, students will be able to find recent and upcoming poetry events, a blog, news, resources, and more. It provides an in-depth look at
*This picture was taken directly from the resource site.*This site allows students to search a specific poem or poet that they might be interested in, as well as sign up for “Poem-A-Day” emails. The site also has connections with multiple social media sites including Facebook and Twitter.
*This picture was taken directly from the resource site.*Students can access forums and threads that would provide them with a ways to connect with others that may have similar poetic interests. There are also tools for aspiring writers, like writing prompts and topics that would help students get into a more creative mindset.
Questions:I believe that this diagram would be used in an actual lesson as a way to assess what students already know about the topic, and to discover what they want to know and what they learned. It incorporates the use of prior knowledge, which means that students will have to think back to what they already know and dig deeper and question themselves, which is a good strategy when approaching any topic. This diagram can also act as a pathway from beginning to end, where the student started and progressed to finish. 2) This visual will enhance student understanding of the topic because it clearly maps out the exact areas that the student may be the strongest in or the weakest in. It is an interactive way to approach a student’s personal familiarity of a topic and to encourage that student to think clearly about how he/she got from one point to another throughout his/her learning progression.
This particular link is for a worksheet that is an independent reading guide. Students can use these worksheets as they are reading poetry which will help them keep track of the context of the work, the elements used, and their personal thoughts about what they read. The link provides multiple worksheets, but this particular one seems most beneficial. *Image taken from PowerPoint Clip Art*
This website allows me to make custom word searches. I am able to insert the words that I choose and it would be an effective way to make sure that the elements of poetry stay current in students’ minds. This could be an in-class assignment or assigned for homework. *Image taken from PowerPoint Clip Art*
This particular link brings students to Marilyn Nelson’s, “Mama’s Promise” poem. Nelson is a contemporary poet who is a very inspiring writer. Students can use this site to access poems of contemporary writers such as Nelson, and examine the texts for themselves.
This app, designed for iPhone and Android, allow students to search and read hundreds of poems at their fingertips. Via the app, students can share their favorite poems on social media sites like Facebook, search poems to fit their mood, and highlight their favorite lines.
