This document summarizes Nives Torresi's experience running an after school project for elementary students. It describes both the positives and negatives encountered. On the positive side, Torresi noted developing a bond with the children, understanding cultural differences, and having open communication with parents. Challenges included being unprepared for the children's needs, trying to please parents' expectations without pedagogical training, and having too much material to cover in too little time. Torresi concluded they learned that children need control, interaction, play, and active roles to grow.

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.

Flipped classroom is an emerging pedagogical model in which the typical lecture and homework elements of a course are reversed. It blends education technology and activity learning to enhance students’ learning. We are among the pioneers in the School of Business to flip part of our course.
In this talk, we will share our experience of flipping four lessons in Semester I 2013/2014. In particular, we will answer some of the questions related to flipped classroom: Why flip the classroom? What should be flipped and what should not? How to make flipped classroom more efficient? What do students think about flipped classroom?

The 8 Step Guide to the Flipped ClassroomLorna Keane
For many, flipping the classroom simply involves turning the traditional classroom on its head - moving the class work home, and the homework to class. Others argue there is a lot more to flipping than meets the eye. Rather, as flipped learning pioneer, Jon Bergmann states, it’s moving from “sage on the stage” to “guide on the side.” For students, the obvious benefit lies in the ability to pause and rewind the teacher at will. For teachers, it means less time creating lectures, and more engaged students as the boring introductions are pushed out, and the fun practical work is pulled in. Fishtree makes flipping your classroom as simple and effective as possible, providing everything you need in one platform. Follow our 8 simple steps to flipping your classroom, and transforming your teaching!

Understanding how to create Certificates, Documents or even award a Badge using Autocrat is explained in this slide presentation.
Teachers often would like to create hassle free documents to use in - especially the digital classroom - therefore the use of Autocrat can automate that in a few easy steps. Taking perhaps half an hour to set up. Google Forms can take the pain out of filling in Google Sheets by hand as it will collate the data automatically in separate cells which can be used as the Data source for the AutoCrat document/s.

Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
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.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.

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
4. Positive and Negatives encountered
Positives
Personal learning
Lots of Reading
Confidence with Technology
Creating a bond with children
Understanding the cultural
differences between L1 and L2
Quick to react and change
Ability to adapt to new ideas
Communication with Parents was
always positive and open
Negatives
Venturing into the unknown
Unaware of children’s needs
Trying to please Parent’s
expectations
No idea of relevant Pedagogical
theory or practice
Head on collision course with class
Teachers
Two teachers instead of one
Too much material not enough time
5. What did I learn ?
Going from thinking children are just small adults – but they aren’t they are
children with a thinking and reasoning all their own
Children like to take control of their environment especially if it is their
‘environment’ – not yours!
Children want to interact and want to learn something new especially using a
computer and showing off what they know
The less I spoke the more they spoke and participated actively
Giving them ‘responsible roles’ each week kept the class focused
Allowing time for play is just as important as teaching them new words, etc.
Give children the active role and they will grow
Keeping a stress free environment is important
6. What will I do different next time ?
Choose and design a syllabus with even less ‘real class work’ and more
interactive tasks or activities
More music and dance with easy repetitive phrases
Keep it even simpler and more fun activities
Take many more photo’s and video clips with children speaking in English for
them to listen to themselves
Do more craft oriented activities – such as cut and paste, hats, cubes…
Find other interactive websites for children (I’m open to suggestions!)
Keep a weekly blog of all activities and outcomes of the class progress
7. Thank you
A very warm thank you to
Dr Nellie Deutsch
for giving me the opportunity to participate actively in
her online courses like the MOOCs and Learn to
Blend and Flip with Technology. Courses that
equipped me to understand how to better use
available technology to enhance engagement and
create motivation. Also to WizIQ for providing a great
platform for Teaching online live.
