Integrating educational technology into teachingBoutkhil Guemide
Educational technology is a field of study that investigates the process of analyzing, designing, developing, implementing, and evaluating the instructional environment and learning materials in order to improve teaching and learning. It is important to keep in mind that the purpose of educational technology is to improve education. We must define the goals and needs of education first and then we use all our knowledge, including technology, to design the most effective learning environment for students.
Technology in ESOL Classrooms & Preparing Teachers for Successful IntegrationSandra Annette Rogers
The panel explores successful integration of technology in ELL elementary classrooms, considering the why (research findings) and how (practical examples and demonstration of technology). It also discusses training: 1) how teachers can be successfully prepared in teacher education programs, and 2) two online TESOL professional development opportunities in technology. Participants are given the time and opportunity to ask questions and share.

Alan Roberts: Student engagement in shaping Higher Education. Slides from the University of Liverpool Learning and Teaching Conference 2009.
In February 2009 the Centre for Higher Education Research and Information produced a report to HEFCE on student engagement in England. The study aimed to:
* Determine the current extent and nature of student engagement in higher education in England;
* Explore current models of formal and informal student engagement;
* Explore institutions’ rationales for student engagement policies and practices, their measures of effectiveness, and perceptions of barriers to effectiveness;
* Explore what institutions and sector bodies might learn from student engagement models operating in other countries
Liverpool Guild of Students, on behalf of the University of Liverpool, was one of the case study organisations. This session will be used to create discussion about student engagement in learning and teaching issues at the University.

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.

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
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.

Not another paper presentation
1. Not Another Paper!: Technology Approaches to Final Projects Nathan Whitley-Grassi & Patricia Hetu Empire State College
2. Which of these sounds more interesting to you as an instructor? Which do you think your students would find more engaging? Introduction
3. Who Are We? Nathan Whitley-Grassi Faculty Instructional Technologist & Adjunct Faculty – Empire State College Senior Lecturer – Niagara University Research Instructor – University at Buffalo Patricia Hetu Faculty Instructional Technologist – Empire State College Online Instructor – University of Phoenix
4. Pedagogy – Educational Tech Fosters critical thinking skills Makes learners move past the basic concept memorization and fully engage with the material in a multi-modal approach Student generated knowledge requires a higher order of understanding and leads to higher levels of learning and longer lasting retention of information
5. Advantages TIME Students who are technology proficient may find an online project easier to create Need to take into account technology needs of entire class Engage students Studies suggest that multimedia and web enhanced activities are more engaging to todays learners
6. Collaborative Learning for a Digital Age – C. Davidson What if bad writing is a product of the form of writing required in college—the term paper—and not necessarily intrinsic to a student's natural writing style or thought process? I hadn't thought of that until I read my students' lengthy, weekly blogs and saw the difference in quality. If students are trying to figure out what kind of writing we want in order to get a good grade, communication is secondary. What if "research paper" is a category that invites, even requires, linguistic and syntactic gobbledygook?
7. Creativity Students are able to think in different ways Multiple Intelligences Students who are more visual learners have more options to express themselves Technology extends/adds layers to assignments Goes beyond the 2 dimensional research paper Wikis/Blogs: Can include videos, links to other sites Timeline tools: Again, can link to videos
8. 21st Century Literacy Students in college today should develop skills necessary to learn new technology skills and master new applications. Students who work on technology-oriented assignment can now include presentation in their resume portfolio “Literacy today depends on understanding the multiple media that make up our high-tech reality and developing the skills to use them effectively “– Educause Quarterly
16. Turn them in? (Video or Audio) CD/DVD or FlashDrives– Potential Problems: The format may not be compatible with your computer. Not all students know how to burn a CD. File Sharing Sites – Potential Problems: The info is out there for all to see, and Students must be careful about file size File Sharing Sites (free): Youtube.com Limited to 10 min. or 300 mb Vimeo.com Limited to 500mb Voicethread.com Only 3 threads at one time
17. Assessment: Learning Outcomes & Goals Clearly defined learning objectives/goals will allow both students and instructor to consider the “end game” of this assignment and how it fits into the whole picture of the course Use of wikis for writing or project assembly allows for: Formative assessment Peer Review Collaboration
18. Assessment: Rubrics Rubrics can provide students with greater detail of the objectives and assessment criteria in a project that may not be as familiar with as a research paper
19.
20. Assessment: Sizing up the Assignment Translating Pages to other units of measurement This depends on the requirements of the assignment Defining the scope and size of the project Determining due dates for each step Be sure your project does not outgrow your submission plan!!!
21. Tip for Adoption: Allow for at least one day to thoroughly review the technology Show examples from other students Offer a chance to try it out Have a tutorial/instruction materials available Offer to work one-on-one See if the college offers training sessions on these tools
22. Opt out: Offer research paper as back up (for those who may be completely uncomfortable with technology) Creating a backdoor can help student feel more comfortable knowing that other options exist. Even students who are wary of the technology often try it out knowing the have a fail-safe just in case.
