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

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.

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.
Francesca Gottschalk - How can education support child empowerment.pptxEduSkills OECD
Francesca Gottschalk from the OECD’s Centre for Educational Research and Innovation presents at the Ask an Expert Webinar: How can education support child empowerment?
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.

2. Why was feedback needed?
Feedback was a massive key element that was needed within our final piece as well as our
ancillary tasks this was able to allow us as a group to establish feedback from our audience as
well as get a understanding of pieces within our work that would needed to be done or changed
around.
We wanted to be able to collect information like:
•Is the genre established
•Is the narrative easy to understand
•Is the camera well placed and in focus
•Can it be confusing at times
Having questions like this answered is able to help us get an understanding of our work and the
ways in which we are already showing it is working and what isn't then we can go back and re do
or change anything, so having the ways of feedback for our work would be needed for us to
create a well made final piece.
3. Ways of feedback?
We wanted to look at the different ways we could be able to get feedback from individuals and
haw we could show this within our work we wanted to be able to ask individuals questions about
our work, and having that one to one chat we could build up what possible isn't and is working
with our pieces of work. there are a number of ways we could of chosen to show our work with
the feedback we where able to build up.
We wanted to look at ways of carrying our the feedback from our audience that we where able
to establish earlier on within the research and having that from the start we where able to build
up an aspect of how we could approach our video then with the feedback we where then able to
apply more detail within the work.
We wanted to look at ways of presenting feedback through:
•Possibly a social networking site
•Like twitter
•And facebook
•YouTube
•Questionnaire websites
•Polling vote
•Asking face to face interviews
4. Looking into audience
Within a group of people we chose to first be asking a
couple of questions to an audience of three people who
all have different backgrounds of music and different
tastes and representations on genres of music we
wanted to ask the three that we had chased how they
would establish a folk song and what they would expect
to see within the music video itself.
This was our first initial research into how we could possibly at presenting our folk genre and the
feedback on the questions that where being asked where able to allow us to get an
understanding of how other see folk music and how they believe a folk music video should come
across within and audience of people, the information from this was useful within our research of
looking towards other artists and putting all the information be had together we where able to
summarise how we where going to show our music video to an audience through narrative as
well as the performance of our artist.
5. Ways i presented feedback?
Video interview:
We wanted to perform an one to one interview where we would get people to watch
our music video and from that we where able t gain feedback from it and improve our
work from what it originally was. We wanted to first sit down and talk about the
questions we should ask, as those where important to gaining a clear understanding.
Having three people that we where able to ask questions to where able to get three
different perspectives on the music video.
Feedback sheet:
We used a sheet that was able to be given out to a number of students in our media
class this was able to get everyone's aspects on the music video on all of our
products, both music video and ancillary and how others suggested on presented on
showing the poster and digi pak within a different way and possibly changing things
within the music video this was all able to be taken into consideration when going over
our work.
6. Feedback sheets
When going through an screening of our music video we where able to pick up feedback
through the use of handing out sheets of papers and we would then get the information back
from others on how well they believed our music video was able to come out with, and the
information that was coming from the feedback sheets would be a side that would be able to
give information about what was able to work well within our video and the other side would be
information relating to how we could change the video so that improvements would be able to
be made.
The was for both the final piece music video and also the ancillary task where able to get
feedback for them both allowing us to add detail into our work we had missed before hand but
ethers spotted.
7. Feedback video
Within this piece of feedback information we went on to asking three members of our media
class and asked them to watch our music video and from that we went on to asking them
questions about what they found worked well as well as other sorts of questions relating back
to points that would able to all us to alter our work in a way it can be improved to a more of
an extent.
We chose to have three individuals was that we wanted to be able to have more than one lot
of feedback we wanted to build up the information we had and gather it up from that to
present it within our final piece. We wanted to be able to film the interviews as individuals not
only guides that we can look back on when going through our work is that we where able to
show how we have established a connecting that they where able to understand parts of the
music video and where when able to understand from that parts that can work within our
music video.
8. Social networking: Facebook
We wanted to be able to use a range of social
networking websites that we could connect our artist
with his fans as well as give out information on new
releases as well as any information that can possibly
be given out to the audience who are following the
group page.
The page allowed us to post and share images of
the artist while on shoots as well as images from the
music video itself. This was able to allow us to build
up a fan base for the artist and then go on to
creating an identity that people are able to establish
the artist with. We decided on using facebook as we
believed as a group we where able to reach a larger
audience aimed to wards are target audience and
facebook was able to allow us to do that.
9. Summary
When looking into the ways we where able to gain feedback we where able to
use a range of techniques that where available for us to be using through out
feedback, gaining feedback was a valuable piece when it came to finishing out
final products. We wanted to use a range of ways to gather feedback as this was
able to allow us to look how we can present our work within different ways by
using filming equipment to film interviews we where not only able to gain
feedback but we where able to try out different ways of filming so it was able to
cover areas that we wanted to practice as well within filming.
If i was to go back and on my work i would of liked to of gained more feedback
through talking to others more about my work
