The document is a presentation on the topic of the American Dream. It begins with an overview and thesis statement describing how America represents opportunity for immigrants and their pursuit of goals and legacies. It then examines why people pursue the American Dream and the experiences of early immigrant groups like the Dutch, English, French, Germans, Italians, Japanese, Mexicans, Africans, Poles, Irish and others in coming to America. It discusses the waves of immigration over time and challenges like illegal immigration. The document concludes that while the American Dream may differ for each person, the main idea is to take advantage of opportunities in America to become successful.

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
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.

• America is a nation of immigrants, it’s
the promised land for many and the
land of opportunity for others. Many
try to come to American with hopes to

Be loyal and respect the Gods. They would live a proper life, have a family and dream with becoming the Chief or warrior of the tribe. They also had an American Dream, because an American Dream not only applies to immigrants from other countries, but also to the natural born citizens of this country. \n
They were put in small vessels that would carry any where from 100 to 1,000 passengers. They were all put in the the underground of the vessel where they won&#x2019;t see the light for a few days. They were attack by outlaws on their way to the ports. And for a long time this was the only way to attempt the American Dream. Disease was also a problem as yellow fewer and Chicken Pox.

They knew they were so close, almost touch it, yet so far away since they came with no money, no food, no one to help them. They knew there was a long way to go, and with lack of rest they still took on a new adventure to look for a job.\n
It was the promise of a better life, that if they can&#x2019;t achieve they can at least provide the opportunity for their children. It was the promise that they would create something for themselves, the promise of equal opportunity because they believed that nothing was for free, so they must work hard and obtained. \n
They arrived first then the English (11 years earlier), planted their flag in Manhattan and at the time the future of America seemed to be with more of a Dutch touch rather then English. They came strictly for business purpose, since their country enjoyed their Golden Age of freedom and prosperity. They came for money, not necessarily to settle in the New World. \n\n
New Amsterdam became the financial capital of the Dutch, it was a sign of success for many. They get credit for firmly establish religious freedom, even to others non-dutch.\n
Located in Virginia the first wave of the English that came to the New World were all from London (14,000 and surrounding area). Their book was the King James version of the Bible. They came for religious purposes, and be able to practice their religion. In 1607 and 1620.\n
First Representative Legislature of the New World. They came at first for religious freedom, but also for business they were looking for gold, but once it couldn&#x2019;t be found they started the tobacco business. \n
The Mullins family, father,mother, son and daughter Priscilla. Priscilla the only surviver of the bad winter of the first settlement. The Huguenot (Protestant Faith) Exiles saw refuge in the New World. They introduced many new techniques to trade, became teachers and physicians. They were Huguenots exiles looking for freedom of religion in the New World. \n
The &#x201C;cradle of liberty&#x201D; by the Feneuil family in Boston. They arrived to PA first then William Penn, and every where they were established a school, hospital, government buildings and assigned leaders. \n
In the morning of October 1683, &#x201C;The Concord&#x201D; arrived to PA and with it the first wave of Germans into the New World. Their goal was the promise of better opportunities in the new world and all the great things they heard from people sending letters back to the old country. \n
The Germans started the new wave of non-British immigrants making the New World a nation of nations. They send home letters that made people come to the New World. At 300,000 strong they accounted for 10% of all the colonial population by the American Revolution. It was around the 1700&#x2019;s when they accounted for 10% of the colonial population.\n
The classic story of two pennies, all the heart and a mind set to succeed. They mostly came on the 1900&#x2019;s and established in the east coast.\n
