Find Your Place: Five Ways to Reach Your AudienceBarry Casey
Topos for Aristotle meant 'place' or 'site.' It also meant one's topic for a speech. Here are five ways to find your place in preparing for a presentation.
Three methods of learning: top down through formal lectures, bottom up through experience, and sideways through mindfulness. Mindful learning is open to the new, alert to differences, sensitive to the context, not afraid of multiple perspectives, and trying to be in the present as much as possible. It can follow distractions for discoveries, regard obstacles as opportunities, turn work into play—make 'have to' into 'get to'—and cherish honesty with oneself about how I learn best.
Bridging the Gap - The Future of LearningClint Hamada
This is our group's presentation on The Future of Learning at Learning 2.010 in Shanghai. We chose to focus on what we think is going to be the future of learning as well as some things that we are doing now (or can start doing tomorrow) to bridge that gap. We also tried to connect our vision of the future with the IB Learner Profile and with the NETS*S.
With all apologies to Merlin Mann, this is my re-interpretation of his famous presentation to the staff at my school. Due to some time considerations and because he is so awesome, I at times (like the opening slide!) egregiously and without remorse rip off Mr. Mann directly. I hope he doesn't mind.

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.

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

Editor's Notes
The top ten list comes from the ideas and creation of Garr Reynolds.
We have all sat through numerous PowerPoint presentations where the slides are just packed full of information. Other presentations have too many pictures on their slides. With too much information and too many pictures, the slides become too busy and the audience doesn’tknow what to focus on. Garr Reynolds’ first tip is too keep the slide simple. Simple picture that connects to the presentation and minimal words.
Slides with too much text just look bad. Plus the people you are presenting to will just read the information off the slide rather than listening to your actual presentation.
Animations can be fun but for professional, business, and school presentations it’s really not that appropriate. In a business presentation no one wants to see your next point flying all over the screen.
Choosing graphic or pictures is an extremely important step in creating a PowerPoint presentation. The right photos are hard to find but are vital to a good presentation. These photos can be you own or from the internet. However when choosing from the internet, make sure there isn’t a copyright on the photo. Photo’s from Google images are all copyright photo’s. Garr Reynolds also says to stay away from using clip art. And one of the most import things when looking for photos, make sure they are high quality. If the photos are bad, the audience will assume your presentation will be as poor as the photos.
We’ve seen every PowerPoint temple sometime and they all seem the same after awhile. Creating your own themes or making a common picture for the entire presentation is new and since you’re the designer it’s whatever you create. Now your template is new and creating and simply your own. Templates can be created in the slide master.
When appropriate, charts can really enhance a presentation. A chart will add nice visuals to exactly what you’re presenting.
Garr Reynolds says that color evokes feelings and that it’s emotional. Therefore color will enhance your presentation. This doesn’t mean you need to be color expert but the color should be used in PowerPoint presentations.
Fonts are extremely important in presentations. First, you need to make sure that the font you have chosen is eye friendly. That meaning chose a font that is easy to read. Calibri (Body) and Time New Roman are easy fonts to read. Try and avoid fonts that are old English or cursive scripts. Secondly, make sure your font is big enough so people in the back of the room or on the angles of the room can still read your presentation no matter where they are sitting.
Something that can really enhance your presentation is using audio or video when appropriate. Showing videos or using audio clips that show or further stress you examples can really stand out. They also make your presentation more interesting when relevant videos are played. It can also keep your audiences attention by showing them a live example or n audio other than your own voice.
This can be done by spending time in the slide sorter view. Make sure you have only the information you need and that the slides are in a logical order that help your presentation flow.
These items come from Garr Reynolds’ presentation tips.
This is such a common sense step but it seems it is the most skipped step. Preparation is critical to giving a good presentation. Everything will flow much smoother when you have practiced your presentation and you know what you are going to say.
Confidence is also critical while giving a presentation. The more you practice your presentation the more confident you will be. If you are confident in your presentation then your audience will know you believe and know what you are talking about.
The PowerPoint could be great, the presentation could be great, but the content could be bad. In preparation, make sure the content you are going to present is relevant and is actually needed and vital for your presentation.
When giving your presentation, you should always be passionate about what you are showing off. If you are bland about the presentation you cant expect your audience to get involved and be excited about it. Always show interests in your presentation and get into it.
Keep your presentation sweet and short to the point. No one wants to sit and listen to you ramble on and on. If you go up and say what you need and what is relevant, your audience will be more engaged and interested.
Be professional throughout your entire presentation. Don’t use slang, act, or look unprofessional either. Things like this just give your audience a bad taste about you when you’re done. Again this can all be easily done, by practicing and laying everything out before you present.
