As teachers we all have an enormous responsibility......every single day; we take on the important task of nurturing the impressionable minds of future generations. But what does it take to be an outstanding teacher?
What does "peak performance" look like for an educator? In particular, what skills, attitudes and beliefs are helpful to us if we want to be the best teachers we can be?
When you look at what great teachers do, there is always a common thread....a collection of core qualities that they all seem to possess, so how do we learn to deliberately cultivate these?

Since the dawn of the computer revolution, the promise of PERSONAL Computing has been ever present. Yet, when we simply leave students to their own devices, technology can serve to depersonalize their experiences. This is especially true of their educational experiences. Meanwhile, as teachers we struggle to effectively manage truly differentiated learning environments. However, this need not be the case. Together, we will explore the possibilities and potential afforded by today’s technology and empower you to utilize technology resources to make learning personal, meaningful, and differentiated for today’s connected students.

Our kids are supposed to be the Digital Natives, the ones that inherently understand all this technology stuff. After all, they've grown up with technology and live with it every day! We talk a lot about how fluent our students are with technology, but are they really? In this keynote we'll think about some of the realities of technology use in schools, and try to get a clearer perspective about our roles in the learning process.

Change, Creativity, Curriculum and CommunityChris Betcher
The world has changed (a lot) and if we can't adapt we run the risk of becoming irrelevant and replaced. Creativity, and looking at the world in new ways will be what helps us thrive in this new world, where so many of the existing skills are being automated or shipped offshore. The curriculum that is supposed to provide opportunities for creativity often lacks the real teeth to do so and our job as contemporary educators is to make sure that creativity, innovation and thinking different are highly valued and rewarded in our classrooms, even if the system in general doesn't measure and support these things. We need to ensure that we do great things with kids in spite of the system. Finally, the impetus for maintaining our motivation and our understanding of the changing world can only come from surrounding ourselves with networks of like-minded people that can support us in our work every day.
Interactive Whiteboards: Leading us into the 21st century or chaining us to t...Chris Betcher
These are the slides from the ActivInspire Flipchart I used for the 2010 IWBNet conference on the Gold Coast.
Despite their rapid adoption in schools all over the world, the effectiveness and value of IWB technology is still viewed with considerable controversy. Can they make a real difference to teaching and learning, or are they just another expensive gimmick. The answer, it seems, is completely up to you. In this keynote we explore some of the controversy, myths and hype surrounding IWBs so you can make up your own mind.
Teaching And Learning In A Digital World (Without Breaking The Law)Chris Betcher
This presentation looks at the many issues surrounding the creation of digital media, and explores the free and open resources available to schools, including Creative Commons and the huge online collections of Open Education Resources. Learn how to find images, audio and other digital resources that are free of traditional copyright restrictions and offer completely legal alternatives for digital publishing and republishing.
In this talk we will look at the role of the teacher in a 21st century student-centered learning environment, and in particular how this role can be powerfully enhanced with interactive technology such as IWBs. If modern classrooms are all about making learners more responsible for their own learning, what are the essential skills that every teacher needs to bring to that environment? How do we find the right teaching/learning balance? And what role can technology play in helping us find this balance?
This slideshow is a PDF export of a presentation given to tech leaders in Montreal. It was focused on the effective use of interactive whiteboard technology. This slideshow is not interactive itself, just a series of still slides.

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
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.

Realness or genuineness
Prizing, Acceptance, Trust
Empathic Understanding
Carl Ransom Rogers (1902 - 1987)

15. “We cannot teach another person directly;
we can only facilitate their learning.”
“The structure and organization of the self
appears to become more rigid under threat”
http://www.infed.org/thinkers/et-rogers.htm
16. The educational situation which
most effectively promotes significant
learning is one in which:
1) threat to the self of the learner is
reduced a minimum
2) differentiated perception of the
field of experience is facilitated.

74. Perhaps we could endeavour to teach our future the following:
• How to focus intently on a problem until it's solved.
• The benefit of postponing short-term satisfaction in exchange for long-term success.
• How to read critically.
• The power of being able to lead groups of peers without receiving clear delegated authority.
• An understanding of the extraordinary power of the scientific method, in just about any
situation or endeavour.
• How to persuasively present ideas in multiple forms, especially in writing and before a group.
• Project management. Self-management and the management of ideas, projects and people.
• Personal finance. Understanding the truth about money and debt and leverage.
• An insatiable desire (and the ability) to learn more. Forever.
• Most of all, the self-reliance that comes from understanding that relentless hard work can be
applied to solve problems worth solving.
