Edtech 2.0: Tokenizing and Gamification of the Education SystemVeronica Andrino
In line with the Government's goal of promoting and enhancing Education in The Philippines, there are other factors that also need to be addressed such as managing the enrollment system every semester and year. With limited manpower in each and every University, accommodating a large number of students is a tough challenge, not to mention managing the data and funds, both sent and paid, which are still mostly manually processed. The situation in the Philippines is similar to many other countries.
Unifinity Application is an Edtech at its core where the Application is created to help the other institutions who can’t afford to pay for expensive software cost. Unifinity aims to provide the solution to Government schools which relatively host 87% of the population of the students are enrolled on a Government institution while the rest of the students are enrolled in Middle-Class schools which are Semi-Private and the rest will be in a Private Class where the population of the students belongs to the First Class.
Unifinity aims to support the Institutions and Students who can't afford to pay for their school fees by giving them access to an application that offers accessibility by using their mobile phones and they can still attend the class, study even at home, making sure that the students will never miss a single lesson submitted by the teachers and the students can still study at home without the need of downloading an application.

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 Future of Our World Technology is past, present and especially our future. Children must know the importance of technology. They must know how to utilize computer technology to become educated, successful citizens in our world. The time is now! Next
4. It is a goal of No Child Left Behind that schools will “Assist every student in crossing the digital divide by ensuring that every student is technologically literate by the time the student finishes the eighth grade, regardless of the student’s race, ethnicity, gender, family income, geographic location, or disability.” Without technology how can we do this? Next
5. Technology in the K-8 Classroom "Technology is transforming society, and schools do not have a choice as to whether they will incorporate technology but rather how well they use it to enhance learning" (North Central Regional Educational Laboratory & Illinois State Board of Education, 1995). Next
6.
7. Technology in Elementary: Why and How So what is the proper age to start teaching technology? Remember the phrase“early intervention? It refers to identifying students with special needs at a young age. Well, incorporating technology is the same: The earlier the better. Students who are exposed to technology often enough, begin to think of it as a regular part of life. Case in point, while many agree that technology exposure should be moderated in young children lives, its presence is essential. Alamaki, A. 1998. Technology Education in Elementary School: Why and How?. Eric Digest pg. 1-14 Next
8.
9. Technology in Elementary: Why and How Technology education should correspond to a child's stage of development to support later learning situations. Teachers need to not only teach the instruction of facts but also the nature of technology. “Pupils have to learn to use technology in a meaningful way, understand its cultural meaning and the issues raised by or use of technology” Next
10.
11. Technology as a Tool Technology lends itself to exploration. But before technology can be used effectively, exploration must be valued as important to both teaching and learning. In such an environment, acquiring content changes from a static process to one of defining goals the learners wish to pursue. Students are active, rather than passive -- producing knowledge and presenting that knowledge in a variety of formats. In such an environment, educators can encourage a diversity of outcomes rather than insisting on one right answer. They can evaluate learning in multiple ways, instead of relying predominately on traditional paper and pencil tests. And perhaps most importantly, teachers and students can move from pursuing individual efforts to being part of learning teams, which may include students from all over the world. In a technology-rich classroom, students don't "learn" technology. Technology merely provides the tools to be used for authentic learning. It is a means, not an end. Next

19. Technology Supports Changes in School Structure Technology can support schools in a number of ways. Administration, teachers, and staff will likely have more time to “teach” when technology is present. Students in this environment can receive more individualized instruction to fit their needs. Next
20. Technology Helps Teachers and Administrators Today, life in technology-rich schools is different-- better-- for teachers. Handheld devices for reading assessment, electronic response systems, software programs for assessing and grading, and skills-based online resources provide teachers with an abundance of tools for evaluating students, producing information teachers can then respond to with instruction tailored to the needs of each student. Next
21. Technology allows for Exploration of Capabilities Technology helps all members of an educational community to explore opportunities. Many students and teaching staff simply do so to find that outcome is a rich learning environment, with endless prospects. Next
22.
23. Technology and the Future Students live in a digital world. Their future as citizens relies heavily on technology and media. Students must be capable of using and implementing technology into their daily lives. Such things as banking, shopping, and paying bills are quickly becoming more prominent through the use of various technologies such as Internet. Next
24. Technology & Future Cont… “ Our goal as effective teachers, is to lend students the opportunities to be successful in life. Every student needs the ability to navigate through the 24/7 information flow that today connects the global community. For students to thrive in a world enabled by information technology, we must give them the skills to make sense of and use the information that engulfs them” (NEA, 2008). Technology today must be integrated within curriculum rather than seen as a separate entity. No matter what job students have, technology will be found; whether by way of a cash register or by taking measurements for a building. Before students can use technology in their jobs, they must have a basic knowledge of what kinds of tasks a computer can perform. In order to solve problems, they must know what program to choose and when to use it. Next
25. Technological advances have changed education, work, and leisure in our society. Although most people experience the benefits of these advances, most also know the anxiety and frustration that accompany rapid technological change as well as the alienation generated by impersonal aspects of technology. Elementary school counselors need to help children develop emotionally and socially in the context of rapid technological change. Counselors often need to deal first with their own concerns about technology before helping children understand the benefits and limitations of technology. Elementary school counselors especially need to acquire competencies with computers, to overcome anxieties about using the technology, and to integrate computer technology into counseling programs A Technology World Next
26. Technology is the Future! The National Academies' National Academy of Engineering and National Research Council in their new report, calls for a broad-based effort to increase the technological literacy of all Americans, a goal that will have many benefits including more informed decision-making by citizens and business and government leaders about the development and use of technology, and a more erudite population that will be better prepared for the demands of today's high-tech work environment. Learning about technology should begin in kindergarten, and the connection between all subjects and technology should be emphasized throughout a student's education, the report says. Technology content should be infused into curricula, teaching materials, and student assessments. Next
27.
28. Parent Involvement "Seventy-six percent of parents reported that their schools used two or more technologies to communicate with parents. While newsletters and telephone calls are most common ways for schools to exchange information with parents, school are now beginning to explore the additional opportunities for interaction afforded voice mail, websites, and electronic mail" Technology Facilitates Parents Involvement- Next
30. Future of Technology - Teaching in the 1900s Mr. Hartmann bangs his gavel: As president of the school board, I call this meeting to order. First on the agenda, Mr. Stephens, high school English teacher, would like to address the board. Welcome, Mr. Stephens! Mr. Stephens: Thank you, Mr. Hartmann, and all the members of the school board, for allowing me to speak this evening. I will be brief: I want to suggest that we encourage our students to change to fountain pens for their schoolwork and move away from the use of quill pens. Mr. Oliveri: Change?! What’s wrong with a good quill pen? Mr. Stephens: Fountain pen points last longer. We won’t lose as much time when students break their quills and have to sharpen a new one during class. Mrs. Jasperson: Mr. Stephens, you should keep a jar of quills on your desk and let students use them if they need them. Mr. Stephens: Yes, Mrs. Jasperson, I do. Some days, however, they need more quills than I have. Fountain pens also have a better ink delivery system, less likely to spill and ruin papers. Mr. King: If students have to buy ink, they won’t learn how to make good ink from berries. What will they do when their fountain pen runs out of ink? Mr. McNeeley: I’ve never used a fountain pen, and I’m getting along just fine. My children can use quill pens, too. Mr. Stephens: In the city, people are making the change without too much difficulty. I have been using a fountain pen myself for a few months now, and the finished documents are much easier to read. Here, let me pass this pen around so you can see it. Next
31. Mr. Hartmann: Let me interject a note here. As you know, I took the family to St. Louis during our Christmas break, and I saw many people using fountain pens. The hotel desk clerk let me try his out, and I must say a fountain pen is a very nice writing instrument. I bought one myself, and the whole family takes turns using it. I wouldn’t be surprised if they caught on, down the road. Mrs. Jasperson: So you’re saying that businesses are switching to fountain pens? Mr. Hartmann: It looks that way. If we are preparing our students for the business world, we might want to consider this. Mr. McNeeley: My son will farm and my daughters will marry farmers. Quill pens will be just fine for them. Mr. King: So are you proposing that the schools purchase a fountain pen for every student? That would be prohibitively expensive! Mr. Stephens: I agree that there would be a cost at first. Perhaps the board could purchase just a class set of 30 at first. But eventually students will bring their own fountain pens to school. And consider that the school would no longer have to supply ink. Mr. McNeeley: This is out of the question. Fountain pens are unnecessary! We could put those funds toward the new gymnasium for the basketball team, instead. Mr. Hartmann: Mr. Stephens, perhaps we should table the matter for now and give people some time to think about it. Mr. Stephens: As you wish. Thank you for your time this evening. May I have my pen back, Mr. Oliveri? Next
32. Education can not revert to the 1800's Education can not revert to the quill Education can not ignore technology Next
Audio: As a group, we initially discussed what topics we felt needed to be included when considering the advantages that technology brings to any teaching environment. The areas we brainstormed are: Administer and staff state mandated reporting Technology is the future/Our students are the future Keeping and increasing parent and community involvement in the schools National and State mandates Classroom advantages like individualized instruction, advance work, remedial work, missed work. We will take a look at each of these areas an show that technology brings with it skills, advantages that can not be created nor maintained with out the advantage of technology.
Audio: In short we can't. We must have technology in the classrooms and more importantly in the hands of our students. As was the case 100 years ago and has not changed, we must meet them where they are and they have technology and are using it – Daily, Hourly.
Audio: Not matter age or experience, teachers must acknowledge and act upon the changes in the world of education Technology is no longer just a tool, it should be integrated daily.
Audio In 2003 (five years ago) that 68% of children UNDER 2 will use screen media for 2 hours 5 minutes A DAY. Kaiser Family Foundation, 2003. In 2004, children and teens spent 2.75 hours a week using home computers. Children will learn technology, the question is are challenging them them to think with it, to communicate with it, to construct, analyze, evaluate, and create with it. In short to use it to better themselves?
Audio Read slide and What is the nature of technology. The Nature of Technology is first questioning and then having the desire to use what you have at your disposal to find the answer. Before Google many questions went unanswered. Now with technology, when a toddler asks “why is the sky blue?”, we can show children how to find that answer. Knowing the answer IS NOT as important as knowing how to find the answer, and having the desire to do so.
One of the biggest challenges we face in education is individualized instruction: trying to provide a means for every student to learn. Current research says that technology is the solution to this problem. Technology can benefit student success by assisting with formative assessments and providing immediate feedback to students. Assignments can be adjusted to fit a student’s point of need thus providing engagement and personalized support. Also important when considering the use of technology is embedding assessments so that students cannot move forward until the instruction is mastered. The data provided from this type of technology can be helpful to teachers and administrators to assist in the success of meeting AYP goals.
Technology is not means to an end. It provides the tools students need for authentic classroom learning. Technology gives students an opportunity to explore, to become active learners. In a classroom where students are using technology, teachers can create and expect a variety of outcomes to suit student’s needs. The learning environment that is rich with technology can be beneficial to all.
Audio: Recap what slides 6-17 say. There are endless benefits to using technology but here are some of the most important. First, students test scores have increased on standardized tests. Although testing should not be the primary goal for teachers, we live in a world where test scores matter. Second, software is available to enrich student’s learning in many areas. Programs are available to support early literacy skills, phonemic awareness, vocabulary development, reading comprehension and spelling. A good example of this is the Scholastic Read 180 Program. Mathematical software systems can support experimentation and problem solving skills Science labs and simulations can enhance student’s understanding of key concepts. We also have digital archives which can support research skills across the curriculum. Along with these benefits students learn about collaboration and the value of working together. Technology can also be a form expression and communication for students.

What this means for students is that they begin to feel comfortable in their own skin. They begin to find ways to show their talents and skills; ways that were likely not available years ago.
Audio: As educators, we must pay attention to what our educational leaders are saying. The National Education Association supports the use of technology in classrooms as should all members of an educational community. Below you see a list of thoughts from the National Educational Association. They realize that more funding is needed to make technology implementation successful. The NEA also believes that teachers need good training and professional development in order to serve our students well.
Students live in a digital world. Their future as citizens relies heavily on technology and media. Students must be capable of using and implementing technology into their daily lives. Such things as banking, shopping, and paying bills are quickly becoming more prominent through the use of various technologies such as Internet.

Before students can use technology in their jobs, they must have a basic knowledge of what kinds of tasks a computer can perform. In order to solve problems, they must know what program to choose and when to use it.
Technology use doesn’t just involve teachers and administrators. It affects everyone in an educational setting. Counselors need to support students to develop emotionally and socially in the context of rapid technological change. School ancillary staff need technology to support students needs a variety of contexts. Maintenance crews, librarians, instructional assistants, and cooks all need to be familiar with how technology fits into their job. In order to make schools the best they can be for students, we must have the technological skills and knowledge to help our students advance.

The National Academy of Engineering and National Research Council states that Learning about technology should begin in kindergarten and the connection between all subjects and technology should be emphasized throughout a student's education. Technology content should be infused into curricula, teaching materials, and student assessments. What this means is that students need to start now in order to become fully functioning “techies” for their future. If a student does not understand the basic of programs like Microsoft, then they will be unable to perform classroom assignments with success in later years.
Audio: Parent involvement is key to helping our student achieve academic success. Communication with parents via technology is becoming more prominent in schools. Teachers and administrators use technology to inform parents of meetings, open houses, and various activities. Teachers can use technology to address progress and problems in the classroom. Many schools are using software that makes classroom grades available to parents with the click of a button. Technology is an important partner within the educational team. Educating a child is not a one man game. It takes a team including teachers, staff, administration, and parents to educate our students. Technology can provide a valuable avenue to inform and communicate together.
Education and Teaching has made tremendous gains since the 1800. The expectations are no longer to fill the lamps, clean the boards, and keep the fire burning. Teachers are surrounded by the future on a daily basis. It is up to us to be sure students are educated in a manner that supports their careers and citizenship of the future. Technology is key to the future.
