This document provides an overview of a week of lesson plans focused on how inventors inspire imagination. It includes links to videos about inventions, excerpts from stories, vocabulary words and activities. Some of the main topics covered are Benjamin Franklin's inventions, a story about twin inventors named Carlos and Lily Perez, and vocabulary like "experiment", "device" and "improvement". Students are asked to discuss how inventors get their ideas and complete activities like defining words, analyzing parts of stories, and reviewing their understanding of literary concepts from the week.
It has become widely understood that effective language learning involves more than the four integrated skills of ELT. The missing link is the fifth dimension ........that of teaching thinking. This PIPP will explore the cognitive processes employed by learners in a drama lesson and see how they relate to the development of higher order thinking skills. Reference will be made to Fisher's model of language learning, Heathcote's premise that drama IS education, Baldwin’s cross reference chart and Cummins´ quadrant of cognitive processes. There will be some theory and lots of activity.

Explain your work! 5 public speaking skills you can learn nowGenevieve Howard
Presentation for High Ed Web conference, Oct. 17, 2016, Memphis.
Ever seen a blank look while you talked to your boss or a client about your project? Between coding and designing, we often use jargon that can make non-web people feel stupid. When we convey our ideas clearly, we can change our supervisors and customers from confused and disconnected to happy and supportive. Genevieve has been a member of Toastmasters International for more than four years and has been active in developing effective public speaking skills for more than ten. In this session you'll learn 5 concrete skills you can use immediately and other suggestions to keep building your career.
Taming Complexity and Sparking Innovation Through Ideation and Design ThinkingBayCHI
Gayle Curtis, Design Consultant at BayCHI, December 8, 2009: A design thinking approach to product development gives us a place to start and a way to proceed with problems that are tricky and ill-defined. It can help tame their complexity and uncover innovative solutions. At the heart of this approach is ideation, the capacity for generating ideas and entertaining alternatives, which we most often practice in brainstorming sessions. In this talk we will look at the background, values and techniques of brainstorming and how to structure effective brainstorm sessions. We will also look at the ways group brainstorms can enhance team performance and serve as the sparkplug for an innovation pipeline.
HOW TO CREATE MILLION DOLLAR IDEAS- CHAPTER 6 & 7zion thompson
This is a summary of the chapter 6 & 7 of the book "How to create million dollar ideas", a book i strongly recommend for entrepreneurs and anyone looking to start a business or ignite their creative self.
The aim of this presentation is to provide practical suggestions to help colleagues use online dictionaries effectively. We begin by exploring the ways in which dictionaries on the Internet have overcome the constraints of traditional dictionaries. We evaluate the advantages that online dictionaries offer, while also considering some potential disadvantages.
The first major advantage is that we have access to wide variety of dictionaries, and nearly all of them are free. Another major benefit is the way information is accessed and displayed; online dictionaries are easy to search, and make use of multimedia capabilities to include sound, pictures and even video.
The presentation distinguishes four different ways of accessing and using these resources. The first of these concerns dictionaries accessed through a dedicated website. These have the advantage of reliability, but some of them are subscription services. The second category is dictionaries integrated into other websites – usually bilingual dictionaries to help speakers of other languages to understand the predominantly English content of the Internet. Then, we look at an example of how a dictionary can be integrated into your web browser, so that it is available to use with every site you visit. Finally, there is the dictionary that you can integrate into your word processor, invaluable for writing and vocabulary activities.
We examine various learner’s dictionaries, assessing what is available and emphasising the importance of choosing an appropriate dictionary according to the level and the needs of the learners. We also look at the additional facilities that learner’s dictionary sites offer for language development.
Finally, we consider ways to train learners to use dictionaries more effectively. In particular, we emphasize the importance of training learner’s to select the correct meaning of a word according to the context, and we look at ways in which the dictionaries can guide learners in this process.
English dictionaries since 1755 have attempted to present succinct statements of the meaning(s) of each word. A word may have more than one meaning but, so the theory goes, each meaning can in principle be summarized in a neat paraphrase that is substitutable (in context) for the target word (the definiendum). Such paraphrases must be so worded that the the substitution can be made without changing the truth of what is said – salva veritate, in Leibniz’s famous phrase. Building on Leibniz, philosophers of language such as Anna Wierzbicka have argued that the duty of the lexicographer is to “seek the invariant”.
In this presentation, I argue that this view of word meaning and definition may be all very well as a principle for developing stipulative definitions of terminology in scientific discourse, but it has led to serious misunderstandings about the nature of meaning in natural language, creating insuperable obstacles for the understanding of how word meaning works. As a result, linguists from Bloomfield to Chomsky and philosophers of language from Leibniz to Russell – great thinkers all – have been unable to say anything true or useful about meaning in language.
I argue that, instead, lexicographers should aim to discover patterns of word use in large corpora, and associate meanings with patterns instead of (or as well as) words in isolation.
They should also distinguish normal uses of each word from exploitations of norms.
Learn from two dyslexic UX designers and one UX researcher as they journey through what it means to see the world from different perspectives and how to harness this power for design thinking. Dive into the dyslexic perspective and learn techniques to help you solve complex problems and unlock your creative potential.

Use Your Words: Content Strategy to Influence BehaviorLiz Danzico
What if we were truly open to the language in our cities, our neighborhoods, our city blocks? What is our environment telling us to do?
In this workshop, we’ll let the language of the city guide us to explore how words, specifically the words of our immediate contexts, shape our behavior. By being open to the possibilities, we’ll explore how language influences both the micro and macro actions we take. We’ll go on expeditions in the morning—studying street signs to doorways to receipts—comparing patterns in the language maps we’ll construct. In the afternoon, we’ll look at what these patterns suggest for the products and services we design.
You’ll walk away having learned how words influence behavior, how products and services have used language for behavior change, and having tools for thinking about language and behavior change in the work you do.
Spend the day letting words use you, so you can go back to work to use them with renewed wisdom.

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
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.

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.
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.
