Expand Your Toolkit: Teacher Strategies for Deeper Math LearningDreamBox Learning
The road to conceptual understanding in mathematics is difficult. Through this journey, our students are required to demonstrate this understanding at every step. With the integration of technology in the classroom, blended learning can support student growth and understanding in math.
Of course, preparing students to model math concepts is problematic if teachers are struggling with the concepts themselves. Blended classrooms can provide support for both the learner and teacher. Want to learn how?
In this webinar, Courtney Foreman showed you how to expand your teaching toolkit by exploring new strategies and techniques for introducing traditionally difficult mathematics concepts to your students. Explore tools to promote the following in your blended classroom:

How can an Instructional Designer help?Inge de Waard
The purpose of this presentation is to give an easy overview of what an Instructional Designer can add to transform courses given by Higher Ed teachers. This presentation was given in Stockholm, Sweden as part of the SELECT 2017 InnoEnergy meeting. This meeting brought all the SELECT partners together to see which educational elements could be transformed into online nuggets, modules or courses.
This presentation formed part of the HEA-funded workshop 'Critical thinking in action: developing analytical skills in Criminology students. An experiential learning approach'
The workshop presented research and facilitated discussion on developing critical thinking skills in criminology students. Discussion of research results and use of a case study approach to teaching and learning highlighted how student views/concerns about their failure in developing critical thinking skills can be addressed via new directions in teaching.
This presentation forms part of a blog post which can be accessed via:

IMAGINED WORLD
A New Conservative Dynasty: Choice and Private Enterprise dominate HEA - Today’s students are the first generation to have grown up surrounded by and using computers, videogames, digital music players, video cams, cell phones and other digital media, consequentially they have a different thinking and learning style and different brain structures to previous generations (Prensky 2001). Social science academics are thus teaching in a changed world where traditional lecture/seminar pedagogical practices may no longer be applicable to the teaching and learning needs of contemporary students. This fact combined with the rise of the student as consumer has triggered a shift where private enterprise rules and students pick and choose which aspects of teaching they will engage with. This presentation’s research indicates that already techniques seen as not applicable to their needs are bypassed by students offering an explanation for attendance, participation and low engagement issues and the failure of students to develop independent problem-solving skills. This presentation provides a survival guide for social science academics by identifying the gaps between staff and student perceptions and discussing techniques for teaching the core skills needed in critical thinking and problem solving; adapting pedagogical practices to the contemporary student.
ABSTRACT
What is critical thinking and to what extent do social science students develop analytical problem solving skills through traditional social science teaching? This paper presents the results thus far of an ongoing research project which identified that law and social science students are often not learning the analytical skills that staff think they are teaching. Most social science academics doubtless consider critical thinking to be an integral and inherently embedded aspect of their pedagogical practices. Yet research suggests that contemporary students do not learn this skill through traditional teaching methods and teaching has not adapted to their specific needs.

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.

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
