Students learn science through descriptions of phenomena, rules governing phenomena, and developing internal models. Mayer believes knowledge is constructed by students, not bestowed by teachers. While technology offers potential for aiding learning, its current contribution is low as instruction is often based on what computers can do rather than research on how students learn with technology. The bottom line is knowledge is best constructed internally when presented through multiple modalities like words, oral explanation, graphics, and mathematics, and having students explain it to others.
To use the different technologies as a strategy in teaching, it will be more effective and pleasing to the students. As a future teacher, I must appreciate the broad benefits that the computer can bring in the lives of students and teachers.

FROM LOGO PROGRAMMING TO FAB LABS: THE LEGACY OF CONSTRUCTIONIST LEARNING IN ...IJITE
Mens et manus, the motto that is embedded in the MIT official seal, is a simple Latin phrase that translates
to “mind and hand.” As a continuation of MIT’s pioneering education and research, Seymour Papert, a
renowned educator and learning theorist, established the foundation of constructionism, which emphasizes
hands-on/minds-on learning. This article explores the evolution of constructionism in K-12 educational
technology from the Logo computer language to Scratch block-based programming and the introduction of
Fab Labs, which represent the third-generation platform for constructionist teaching and learning. The use
of Fab Labs in K-12 education aligns with the Mens et manus philosophy by providing students with
opportunities to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world applications through hands-on experiences with
digital fabrication technologies. The adoption of the proposed Fab Labs constructionist framework can
help prepare students for the demands of a rapidly changing world and aligns with educational standards
for science and mathematics.

Critical instructional design moves toward realizing the possibility for learning that blends a new form of rigor with agency through a practice of inquiry, empathy, and emergence.
As someone who has taught technical writing at the community college level since 1989, seeing it morph and move through various iterations nudged and guided by changes in technologies, settings/venues, politics, and pedagogy, I will present a discussion of the history and current challenges in eLearning modality and how we attempt to achieve those technical communication hallmarks. The goal is to strengthen and ‘repaint’ the bridge between education and professional practice, making the case that the seeming ‘pragmatism’ of technical writing enables its survival.

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

2. Overview Students learn science at three levels: Descriptions of phenomenon Learning the rules of the phenomenon Having an internal model of the phenomenon Mayer believes Knowledge is not a commodity that can be bestowed by a teacher It is a construction that must be built by the student.
3. Best Quote “The potential for computer-based aids to learning remains high, although the current contribution of technology to pedagogic innovation is frustratingly low. Instructional development is too often based on what computers can do rather than on a research-based theory of how students learn with technology.” (Page 17)
4. The Bottom Line Knowledge is most easily “built” as an internal construction when presented multimodally. In other words: In written words AND Orally AND Graphically/Pictorially AND Mathematically And when you’re done, teacher, make the student say it to someone else!
