Ready, Aim, Fire: A presentation about technology integration and iPad integr...Joan E. Hughes, Ph.D.
In this presentation, I speak about the challenges of technology integration with a group of U.S. K-12 district superintendents and principals. I use my recent research on a high school's endeavor to integrate iPads into teaching and learning to situate my remarks about technology integration. Topics covered include: school change, vision/goals for technology integration, my RAT (replacement, amplification, transformation) model for assessing lessons that integrate technology, and using subject-specific problems of practice to drive technology-related professional learning for teachers.

Differentiated Instruction conversation at Inanda Seminary- SAESC meeting Nov...kaleylemottee
At the South African Extraordinary Schools Coalition meeting on 4 November 2014, Inanda Seminary shared an outline of the discussion on differentiated instruction at Inanda Seminary.
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

3. A PORTFOLIO is an assessment activity that helps each student to
CREATE SENSE between all the work done in a class and beyond,
INTEGRATE KEY IDEAS and develop meaningful and SIGNIFICANT
KNOWLEDGE.
So, every PORTFOLIO is different as we all have different experiences,
interests, ideas, perspectives and perceptions as well. To develop your
own portfolio you need to take a few steps.
4. Steps to develop your portfolio
First gather your work EVIDENCES or what is the same: the whole work done by
you during the semester such as activities, discussions, videos, books, theories
and practice, your own ideas, ideas shared by others, always from a critical
perspective. A PORTFOLIO FOLDER will help you to gather and take into all this
information account.
Then you need to take an all-embracing view of all the evidences, searching for a
comprehensive perspective. Once you have done that, you can start to write
crossing edge ideas as a draft doc. This means GLOBAL IDEAS that are shown
in several evidences and make sense to you. Drawing a MIND MAP is really
helpful.
5. Once you have a map of key ideas and crossed connections, you can ADD
EXTRA evidences that are connected to your thoughts and ideas. This could be
related work done by you in different years, classes or course books, videos,
personal research work, or other extra documents that can enrich and support
your ideas. This may complete your mind map. Explaining this map to someone
can help you to make sense of it.
Finally, with a final version of the mind map you can start to write POWERFUL
AND INTERCONNECTED arguments that explicitly show what is important for
you in your learning process, and how you link contents to create knowledge.
This requires complex writing skills.
6. Sure, but how can I write powerful and
interconnected arguments?
7. How to write powerful and interconnected
argumentsDescribe a crucial and global thought or idea from the whole
class experience
Example 1
‘The most important learning I take with me is: how to prevent bullying, and the
values related to this topic such as inclusion and respect’...
Example 2
‘Schools should accommodate all children regardless of their physical, intellectual,
emotional, social, linguistic or any other conditions’...
8. Show how your idea comes up across several activities from
the course (presentations, reflections, discussions,
videos...). Use hyperlinks that lead us to the connected
document.
Example
‘We talk about this topic in two different classes of the last semester. The first one
was when David showed us a video of two kids singing against bullying. And the
other one was for the project of Education today of Júlia and Tomàs, they
explained us the post of the kid that killed his teacher in his school in Barcelona’...
9. Ground the key idea with the educational theories worked in
class or other university classes/subjects (books, articles,
experts...). Use hyperlinks that lead us to the connected
document
Example
‘I also learnt about the idea of inclusion in the book “The Element” which was
written by Ken Robinson. He is also the author of the Ted Talk: “Do school kills
creativity?”. Here, the author shows the importance of adapting educational
resources to individual needs and interests of each child in the school’...
10. Search for extra information around the idea to complete the
evidences (surf the web, interview an expert, go to the
library…). Use hyperlinks that lead us to the connected
document
Example
‘I wanted to relate this way of working to the idea of Self-Organised Learning
Environment (SOLE) posted on a blog from a teacher. This environment can exist
anywhere if there is a computer, Internet connection and students who are ready
to learn. Within a SOLE students are given the freedom to learn collaboratively
using the internet. An educator poses a Big Question and students form small
11. Relate the argument to your own practice using examples
(educational practices, school visits, you as a student,
professional experience...). Use hyperlinks that lead us to the
connected document
Example
‘My experience in the Institut Guttmann is also an incredible one to learn about
inclusion and acceptance. For this activity we, by groups, had to prepare some
physical education exercises that we could practise with the kids, they told us that
some of the children might be physically disabled so we prepared the activities
according to the limits they told us’...
12. Explain your own perspective around the whole idea taking
into account previous evidences (analyzing, critical thinking)
Example
‘I personally think it was a good activity because we could see that all the other
classmates accepted Mario, and if he had any trouble they would help him. But at
the same time, we also experienced how when we want someone to feel “normal”
and talk in front of the class, we could be doing the contrary and make him feel
even worse. In my opinion we need to be more natural in accepting differences as
a lifestyle’...
