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.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

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.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2. Phase 1: Relative Advantages Students need to learn how nutrition contributes to a healthy lifestyle and how they can choose the right servings of the different food groups to lead a healthy life. Smart board helps the blank poster visible to all students. The lesson can be better guided and modeled. The Blast off game and mypyramid.gov gives students an interactive and fun way to learn the material as well as another resource to look up at free time for more kid-friendly information on health
3. Phase 2: Objectives and Assessment Essential Question: How does nutrition contribute to a healthy lifestyle? Aim/Objective: Students will be able to… Identify the 6 food groups, and their appropriate daily serving size. Explore the concept of choosing healthier foods and discuss examples of healthy options for all the food groups. Be able to chart the foods they eat during one day and place each food into the appropriate food group. Standards: LE 5.3 A- Humans need a variety of healthy foods, exercise, and rest in order to grow and maintain good health.
4. Phase 2: Objectives and Assessment The Blast off game gives them examples of healthy and less healthy options and how it fuels your body differently. You can assess the Blast Off game by making sure each student receives a Certificate at the end. Assessment: Completion of Independent worksheets, Pyramid that was done together as a class, and certification from the Blast Off game Follow up: Students will be able to then make up a food pyramid poster with a group of 4 or 5 peers Students will be able to finish an end of unit assessment on nutrition. Students will better understand healthy living and eating through the brain pop video, class discussion, and at managing their own nutrition practice with the Blast Off game.
5. NYS Standards and Prior Knowledge LE 5.3 A- Humans need a variety of healthy foods, exercise, and rest in order to grow and maintain good health.
6. Phase 3 – Design Integration Strategies Activate prior knowledge and ask students to write down anything they know about the different food groups: What are the different food groups? Examples? Serving sizes? Use Brain Pop video to gain student’s interest about Nutrition BrainPopVideo Use the smart board to show the MyPyramid for Kids poster . Poster Pass out the black-and-white MyPyramidfor Kids handout to each student. Have a guided and interactive mini-lesson filling our what should go in each food group as well as the appropriate servings for each group. SmartBoardGuidedLesson
7. Phase 3- Design Integration Strategies Show students http://www.mypyramid.gov/ Have 2 stations in the classroom: 1 station is with computers while you show them mypyramid.gov. and prepare students adequately to use the technology and the website. One station is for independent worksheets from my.pyramid.gov that give practice to the different food groups as well as relates it to their nutritional lifestyle. Independent Worksheet Independent Worksheet Blast off game
8. Phase 3 – Design Integration Strategies Smart board helps the blank poster visible to all students. The lesson can be better guided and modeled. The Blast off game and mypyramid.gov gives students an interactive and fun way to learn the material as well as another resource to look up at free time for more kid-friendly information on health . The station with the Blast off game is monitored by the teacher to help students adequately use technologies.
9. Phase 4 - Prepare the Instructional Environment Materials that are needed to carry out instructional strategies: Smart board Brain pop video prepared, blast off game prepared on smart board to model MyPyramid for Kids handout Independent worksheets (3 for each student) Computers for half the class with MyPyramid.gov set up and directions for how to get to the Blast off game Resources should be arranged so that there are 2 stations. One with computers for half the class and one with independent worksheets prepared. The teacher must be prepared to know if all the computers are fully powered and are on the mypyramid.gov website with the directions of how to get to the Blast Off Game.
10. Phase 5 – Evaluate and revise Integration Strategies Stations help the teacher focus on a smaller group for the students who were on the computers. Use the smart board to model the Blast off game. Make sure the students are filling out the independent worksheets. If the computer station takes longer than the independent worksheet page, have students at the independent worksheet station start cutting out magazines of different foods for the next day’s activity. The technology integration was an important tool to let students have fun with their learning and explore different interactive tools on mypyramid.gov. It was important to find a kid-friendly educational website that focuses on healthy living and eating.
