This document discusses several ways to use quizzes and mysteries in the classroom to engage students. It describes having students use detective skills to find answers provided in clues like photos or diagrams. It also suggests creating treasure hunts where students search a passage for a specific fact or concept. Another idea is making map-based quizzes where students label locations on a diagram. The document advises having students create their own quizzes to assess what they've learned. It also proposes competitive team-based quizzes and games to motivate students.
This SlideShare shows how I would incorporate Smart Board work into a lesson plan that I could on SMART Exchange. This is a lesson plan I would use for a kindergarten class that is working on addition, subtraction and graphing.

This theory stipulates that there are several different types or levels of learning. The significance of these classifications is that each different type requires different types of instruction. Different internal and external conditions are necessary for each type of learning.

Each technological age has been marked by a shift in how the industrial platform enables companies to rethink their business processes and create wealth. In the talk I argue that we are limiting our view of what this next industrial/digital age can offer because of how we read, measure and through that perceive the world (how we cherry pick data). Companies are locked in metrics and quantitative measures, data that can fit into a spreadsheet. And by that they see the digital transformation merely as an efficiency tool to the fossil fuel age. But we need to stretch further…
Extensive strategies for how students are presented the information, how students make sense of the information and how students demonstrate what they have learned.

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.

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

2. The use of mystery
Ask students to use their detective skills to
discover answers.
Teachers can create questions that contain
related material.
Also attach a screenshot, photograph or
diagram, or even a video, then ask students
to evaluate the attached material in order to
find the answer.
3. The use of mystery
By providing material that reflects the
information contained in the corresponding
lesson, you are reinforcing prior instruction by
forcing students to explore, analyze, and
evaluate information.
The mystery method can be used effectively
with matching, true/false, fill in the blank,
and multiple choice, as well as essay type
questions.
4. Create a treasure hunt
Ask students to read a passage in search of a
particular concept, idea, or fact.
Create questions that focus on the passage.
Ensure text is reworded and not copied from
the passage for better reinforcement.
Ask students to examine the passage and use
deductive reasoning to determine the answer
before writing their answer in the appropriate
box.
5. Create a treasure hunt
Use the “Fill in the Blank” question type, then
create your list of possible answers.
TIP: If capitalization is not important to the
answer you should create possible answers
with and without initial capitals (like This and
this) to avoid false negatives.
6. Map it
Most students enjoy looking at maps.
Similar to the Mystery method, but slightly
different in application.
Can be used in almost any subject area,
including mathematics.
This method can be used with multiple choice
and checkbox, using ProProfsQuizMaker.
7. Map it
Select a map, diagram or image - can relate to your
topic, or it can contain information needed to
complete a task relating to your topic.
You need to pre-edit your map, and place on it small
marks that number various locations on the diagram.
For a mathematics activity your map may need to
include lines of latitude and longitude as well as
degree marks.
8. Map it - An example
to test knowledge on bones in the body
Upload a diagram of the area of the body you wish to have
students examine.
Using your image editing software, add letters or numbers
to the diagram, then save.
Upload your diagram and write your questions.
You can use the same diagram for a series of questions,
asking students to demonstrate their knowledge of the
names of each bone labelled.
Tip -If you are conducting your test in class, be sure to randomize your question order, to
prevent students from copying one another’s answers.
9. Flip it – Get the students to create the quiz
This method and works well toward the end of
a unit.
Assign students to work in teams -two works
best.
Don’t rush your students.
Remember, the real goal here is to get them to
learn the material; the secondary goal is the
creation of a quality quiz.
10. Flip it – Get the students to create the quiz
As an additional activity, once the quiz creation
assignments have been graded and you have
given students a chance to edit and improve
them, have a day where each of the quizzes
created by students are used as the final
chapter or unit assessment.
Number or name each quiz by team, then
assign each quiz to alternating students.
11. Flip it – Get the students to create the quiz
At the end of a chapter or unit, compile the
best questions from all quizzes into your
chapter test.
Explain to students where you got the
questions – they will find this interesting.
Use question pooling to assure that each
student gets a different list of questions on
their test to discourage copying.
12. Team competitions
Divide the class into four of more teams.
Assign a test or quiz for each team to complete. It works
best to use a test or quiz with a minimum of twenty
questions.
Encourage students to collaborate on the answers in
order to submit one quiz per team.
As an alternate method, assign students to teams and
have students take quizzes independently.
13. Team competitions
Post a score board where each team’s
collective points are posted.
As an added culminating event, plan a chapter
test to be conducted the same way.
Encourage team members to help each other
prepare for the test in study groups in or
outside of class.
14. Team competitions
This activity can overlap with any of the other
activities and almost any kind of question.
The reporting functions in ProProfs
Quiz Maker will make it simple for you to
update the scores quickly on your chart.
