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.

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.

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

4. Carnival Basics
More stuff means more money. Offer a variety of
booths and activities attractive for all ages. Once
you have a theme, let it guide your booth and
entertainment choices.
Good publicity and signage drives attendance.
Start spreading the word 4-6 weeks before your
event. At the carnival, hang brightly colored signs
identifying booths and concessions stands. (Kids
can help make them.) Prominently recognize
sponsors on banners and signs.
Share the work and have more fun!
Create subcommittees with a chair
responsible for key teams. Use

scheduling and parent signups!

6. Where should we hold our
carnival?
You can hold your carnival
anywhere that is safe and has
enough room.
Either indoors or outdoors
Any area that's safe for kids
In a space that is big enough
to fit all your booths and
activities
A backyard
A big garage
A church or school
A playground
Need Permission? Need Permits?
Plan ahead!!
Our school holds a carnival
every year. The kids, teachers,
and parents, all look forward
to it. It’s such a fun way for our
families to spend time
together while raising money.
-- Parent, Campbell, CA
SignUp.com the EASIEST way to bring people together!
7. How can we turn our carnival
into a fundraiser?
• Sell Tickets! Offer tickets for sale in the weeks
before the carnival at a discount. This builds
interest in your event while earning a base of
funds. Avoid cash handling at all the activity
booths and concessions stands by having a few
designated ticket booths. Set a ticket price (#
tickets) for each booth or food item.
• Sell student designed t-shirts, community
recipe/cookbooks, arts and crafts, etc.
• Keep costs down. Ask local businesses to donate
food or supplies. Purchase inexpensive prizes for
the games at party stores.
• Add a bake sale or cake decorating contest.
• Hold a silent auction or raffle. Include themed
baskets where each class parent donates one
small item for a collectively generous basket.
Possible themes:
Family Games, Backyard Fun, Cook’s Delight,
Gardener Goodies, Puzzles, Arts & Crafts,
Pampering, Slumber Party, Water Fun
Don’t forget to give
recognition and send
a “Thank You” note
to those businesses
that helped!
SignUp.com the EASIEST way to bring people together!
8. What else can we do
besides games?
A carnival isn't complete without
at least a few good shows.
Feature your community
talent and charge tickets for
admission. Some ideas:
Magic Show
Puppet Show
Talent Contest
Skateboard Freestyle Demo
Dance Performances
Short Play
Choral Groups
Local Bands
Art Show
Ask teachers and
staff to support the
talent show by
allowing students to
practice during
lunch period or after
school.

12. Creative Carnival Game Ideas
Potty Toss
Players try to toss toilet tissue rolls
through toilet seats hung from the
ceiling. Each seat is marked with a
different point value.
Human Slot Machine
Setup three large refrigerator boxes in
a row & cut out a large window in the
front of each. When a player pulls an
imaginary lever, a volunteer standing
in each box tosses possible wax fruits
(orange, banana, apple) up and
down, finally picking one. Three in a
row wins!
Dinosaur Dig/ Treasure Dig
Players dig in shallow boxes of sand for
plastic “dino” eggs. Each egg
contains a slip of paper with a number.
Players can redeem the prize assigned
to the number found on their paper.
Pirate variation: hide chocolate gold
coins & trinkets and players dig for
buried treasure.
End of the Rainbow
Draw a rainbow in chalk on an
outdoor surface. At the end of
rainbow place a miniature pot (or fake
cauldron). Players try to flip pennies
into the pot from a designated point.
Prizes increase depending on the
number of pennies the player tosses
into the pot.
Quack Shack
A costumed volunteer pretends to be
a mad scientist and decorates the kids
with fake scars and wounds.

14. Spreading the Word
Having a big turnout is key for your Carnival
fun-raiser! Getting people to show up takes
planning and effort.
Fliers. Hand out information about your
carnival at school or congregation and to
everyone you know. Include the date, time,
location, what kinds of things you’ll have at
your carnival, and a list of sponsors.
Newspapers, newsletters and local websites.
Ask your local newspaper, congregation, or
school newsletter to run a free
announcement about your carnival.
Posters and Banners. Make colorful signs that
tell people about your carnival. Tell the date,
time, location and all the things you’ll have:
“Games! Prizes! Food! Entertainment! Silent
Auction! etc.” The more posters you put up
on telephone poles, at school and at nearby
businesses, the better.
Word of mouth. Tell all your friends and their
parents.

16. Tips for a Successful Carnival
• Print maps of your carnival space.
• Share the fun! Give each class or
group the responsibility of planning and
staffing a specific booth. That team
should consider decorations, setup,
cleanup, and prizes.
• Have plenty of lined garbage cans and
a trash team to keep them ready. Set
the trash cans back away from your
serving area to avoid flies or odors.
• Price your tickets so a typical family
can have a lot of fun and enjoy
multiple activities. Give discounts to
people who buy 20 tickets at once, or
pre-order. Consider selling fixed-priced
wristbands if your carnival is more of a
community-builder than a fundraiser.
Wristbands are simpler than tickets, but
typically not as profitable for the
carnival.
• Offer both substantial food and treats.
Hungry carnival goers appreciate
something filling like pizza or hot dogs in
addition to candy and popcorn.
• Give out prizes right away at each game
booth, or kids can collect ‘point tickets’
redeemable at a prize booth.
• Ask yourself, “Can everybody play this
game?” You may have people come to
your carnival who use crutches ,
wheelchairs. or have less strength in their
arms and hands.
• Set aside a safe, shaded area for babies
and toddlers to crawl and play without
having big kids around. A few gym mats,
some baby toys, a fence of some kind,
and chairs for parents could be all that
you need.
• Cash Sense. Keep cash-handling
locations to a minimum and staffed with
two or more people. Have locked cash
boxes on hand, and a process for moving
and storing large sums of money. Many
banks and supermarkets provide an
auction and carnival service and can help
with your cash process.
