Non-Linear PowerPoint summarizes the use of three technologies - podcasting, smart boards, and PowerPoint - for educational purposes. Podcasting allows teachers to easily share classroom information with students and parents. Smart boards are beneficial for students with autism as they are visual and motivating. PowerPoint enhances learning for students with developmental delays through its presentation features, accessibility, and ability to provide prompts. The document explores the advantages of each technology and includes reflections on their educational value.
This video is about how to learn skillfully: the science of study.
If you duplicate and apply these methods in your study of Skillful Living, you will get much more out of the materials.
Most schooling deliberately teaches you the wrong way to learn. First, you should not approach a subject because someone else is making you study it. You should approach it because you want to learn it and put it into practical use in your life. In other words, you should learn to acquire skills.
The first necessary skill in the art of Skillful Living is how to learn skillfully.

About Chris Waterworth
I've been teaching in primary schools for over 10 years now and have used technology in my classrooms since the very beginning. I believe in a cross-curricular and social approach to learning. Children need to talk, to play, to fail and to have opportunities to refine their work.
Technology is enabling children to do this in real-time and I believe we are on the edge of something amazing in education – a new chapter in what schools will look like and how children will become outstanding learners.
The use of quick, mobile technology available at home and in classrooms is gaining speed and I firmly believe that by flipping your classroom is a way to truly personalise the learning experience for the children in your classroom.

Strategies for trusting online assessment in the age of artificial intelligen...Charles Darwin University
Sankey, M. (2022) Strategies for trusting online assessment in the age of artificial intelligence (AI). University of Divinity professional development webinar. 1 July.
The necessity for us to rethinking assessment in the light of current trends. We’ve been slowly shifting the goal posts for a number of years now. But why? Academic integrity, cheating vs authentic assessment. Preparing students for the world of work. This shift has partly occurred due to the advent of new technologies and AI. Contemporary technologies have allowed us to re-invigorate different assessment types more common to the past. We will look at some things that were old but are now new again.
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.

9. Using the Smart Board in Teaching
Students With Autism
By: Joy F Xin and Frank X Sutman
What is a smart board?
A smart board is an interactive white board that is
used to enhance students’ learning by engaging
them in a different style of visual learning.
Students with Autism need to work on their social
situations and the Smart Board is a great way to
motivate them!
Click on the arrow to learn more about Smart Boards!
10. Why are Smart Boards Good for
Students with Autism?
Click on the text to learn more about Smart
Boards.
• Visual Learners
• Motivation
• Social Stories
• Improved Student Behavior
Once you have gone through all four points, click on the arrow to explore another
form of technology!
11. Visual Learners
Children with autism are often lacking
communication/interaction skills. They do not
always react to frustration and conflicts in a
positive way. The Smart Board is a great way for
these students to learn how to better handle
themselves in tough situations. They will enjoy
using the Smart Board!
Click on the arrow to go back to the Smart Board page!
12. Motivation
Students with autism will be motivated to want
to try and better their social behavior if they are
able to use a Smart Board. The Smart Board will
portray the information to the students and they
will be able to interactively respond!
Click on the arrow to go back to the Smart Board page!
13. Social Stories
As mentioned, students with Autism need to work on
improving their social behavior. The Smart Board can play
a big role in this. Teachers can think of situations that the
students might find their selves in when it would be hard to
express their emotions in a positive way. Examples are,
conflicts, hard school work, and not getting their way.
The teacher would then type up a situation similar to this
and show it on the smart board. The students are able to
use the Smart Board to respond to the situation by drawing
pictures and writing their thoughts. After the activity, the
students have to practice modeling the good behavior.
Click on the arrow to go back to the Smart Board page!
14. Improved Student Behavior
As a result of the social stories, teachers will see
improved student behavior. The more the
students get to use the Smart Board to talk
about social situations, the more practice they
will get.

16. Benefits of PowerPoint in the
Classroom
Benefits of using PowerPoint help students with developmental
delays?
Click on the text to learn more.
• Easy Access
• Presentation Features
• Phonetic Awareness
• Prompts
Once you have gone through all four points, click on the arrow to explore another
form of technology!
17. Easy Access
PowerPoint is a program that is very easy to
access. According to the article, as of 2009,
more than 80% of school computers contained
PowerPoint. PowerPoint is also very fun and
easy to use.
Click on the arrow to go back to the PowerPoint page!
18. Presentation Features
PowerPoint contains many fun presentation
features that excite children with developmental
delays. Some of these features are colors,
animations, sounds, and slide transitions. These
help to keep young children engaged.
Click on the arrow to go back to the PowerPoint page!
19. Phonetic Awareness
PowerPoint has been proven to help young
learners with their phonics. Early childhood
teachers can choose words and students have to
decide which letter is the right sound beginning
of the word. Transitions and animations make
this process exciting. For example, teachers
could use animations to make the letters bounce
into the PowerPoint.
Click on the arrow to go back to the PowerPoint page!
20. Prompts
PowerPoint allows teachers to give their
students’ “prompts.” For example, a teacher
puts up a word and the students have to choose
which letter is the beginning sound of the word,
The students would be given four choices. Some
time passes and the students cannot figure it
out. The teacher can use PowerPoint to make
two of the answers flash. This would help
prompt the students and give them a hint.

21. Podcasting Personal Reflection
I feel that podcasting is a great classroom asset. I plan on having a
blog for my classroom. This will allow me to post podcasts for parents
and students to listen to. I think that my students will enjoy listening
to the podcasts and parents will feel they help to keep them up to
date. I intern at several different elementary schools, and they us
podcasts regularly.
The author of the article stated that “posting student-created podcasts
can be one of the best ways to allow parents and other Internet users
a glimpse into the classroom and all the wonderful learning
opportunities that are taking place.”
I agree with this statement 100%. Parents need to be informed and
engaged in classroom activities.

22. Smart Board Personal Reflection
I found the Smart Board article to be very interesting. I never thought
about how this type of technology could help children with Autism. I am
definitely considering using a Smart Board in my classroom and will use
the social situations approach to help students with emotional
disabilities.
The author stated, “children with autism often are unable to read about
and understand social cues and situations, as well as to appropriately
respond to such social events. Thus, they often find it difficult to "read"
social behavior, and to infer the beliefs and intentions of others. This
impairment often leads to the deficits in social communication and other
interactions with peers and adults.
I found this quote to be very eye-opening. I will definitely think about
how students with emotional disabilities think about things in a different
way and react well to hands-on/visual activities.
Click on the arrow to read the next reflection!
23. PowerPoint Personal Reflection
I agree that PowerPoint is a great way to relay information to students. I use
PowerPoint a lot, and plan on continuing to use it when I become a classroom
teacher.
The author of the article brought up a good point. PowerPoint can be a
particularly powerful instructional technology PowerPoint and projectors
have been used in conjunction with direct instruction to successfully teach
phonological awareness skills to 4year-old students considered at risk. In this
work, classroom teachers implemented a DI approach using PowerPoint
templates and a projection system, while teachers in a comparison group
used only a standard phonological awareness curriculum paired with the
projection system. Ready-to-go PowerPoint templates were created to
support instruction of alliteration, rhyming, and initial sound fluency.”
I never would have thought to use PowerPoint to help students better the
phonetic skills. That is something I would love to try when I become a
teacher.
