The document discusses concerns about social media, including how it can endanger privacy, hamper interpersonal skills, and spread misinformation rapidly. Specific concerns addressed are privacy issues due to lack of data protection, the potential for social media to negatively impact self-esteem and relationships, and early exposure influencing children's development. However, social media also enables rapid information sharing and organization of global events. While it can facilitate politicians' communication, overuse of social media is causing issues like constant phone checking and earlier ages of introduction online. The conclusion is that social media may be more problematic than beneficial due to these various social and psychological impacts, especially on youth.

The Internet and social media now impact almost every aspect of people’s lives and have altered social interactions and ways of being. Many young people use the Internet and social media in a way that is detrimental to their mental health, with the potential of developing symptoms traditionally associated with addiction. Despite this desperation to use the Internet and social media, a recent study showed that the more time young people spend on social media, the less happy they feel about everything except their friendships. More speci cally, they felt less happy about school and school work, their appearance, their family, and life in general. It appears that girls are more a ected than boys. It is important however that we don’t blame the medium but the message. There are positive messages out there on social media, which can help young people with mental health di culties but also some very harmful messages and practices can be found online too. This talk will explore ‘The risks and bene ts of social media on the mental health of adolescents’.

The author of this article is on the bad sides of social media. Parents, politicians and the society at large have neglected their role and left it to the children to lead and guide themselves. Too much violence, sex and vulgar language is cropping to the current generation an alarming rate. This effect has been contributed by the use of movies, television shows and recordings beyond child's age. Though the government appears ready to intervene but it cannot do all the job without the help of parents. Parents should therefore be cautious on what their children watch on social media.

What is social media_ The impact of social media.pdfDavid Due
Information and verbal exchange generation has changed rapidly over the last two decades, with the key improvement being the emergence of social media.
The tempo of change is accelerating. For instance, the increase of cell technology has played an important function in shaping the impact of social media. Globally, cellular gadgets dominate in phrases of general mins on line. They positioned the approach of connectivity anywhere, anytime on any tool in all and sundry arms.
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.

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.

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.

Social Media Debate
Part Two
Concerns within the reading are, “more than 170 million Americans use social
media to communicate with each other online, but critics say the technology can
endanger privacy rights and hamper the development of vital, face-to-face interpersonal
skills.” This shows that if we keep up what we are doing that in the near future there will
be no such thing as face-to-face contact and everyone will be glued to a technological
device of some sort. Rumors are spread very fast over the social media. To back my
argument up I will use the Manti Te’o hoax. This shows how social media can make
someone believe something that is not true. Another concern about social media is
privacy. Privacy is key to being able to be apart of the online world. Privacy is a big
problem in the US because we don’t have data protection. This is an issue because
without protection you never know where all your stuff can end up. A concerning factor
about social media’s is a statistic that I found from the article taking between 1990 and
1999. They all preferred texting over all other forms of communication. Social Media
doesn’t help self-esteem either, the article talks about how girls who in real life are often
constrained in their roles are more outgoing online. These examples here show what the
negatives are from being behind any type of screen for a long period of time, it can even
change you.
2. Feck 2
Even though there are consequences to social media, there are also benefits.
Social media helps us figure things out faster that are going on in the world. An example
of this is the attack on Paris, I wouldn’t have known that had happen if it wasn’t for
social media. I got notifications on my twitter and Facebook. An argument about good
benefits of social media is that through twitter you can organize big events, for example,
in the article they talked about #riotcleanup, which rallied people to clean up the streets
all around the world.
The concerns about social media are how people act on Twitter, Twitter can be a
great way to get certain points out but only use Twitter to organize protest or events or
hurt us it shows why people are concerned with the path we are going down with social
media. Relationship’s are a concern when it comes to technology, people are not taking
as big as risks when it comes to showing people who they truly are. People would rather
like to stay in and talk to people online. Social Media is making people be less outgoing
and making them feel as texting is the best way to contact someone or get their word out.
Social media is a concern because people are starting to show how they are becoming
obsessed with their smartphones. In the article it states that many cannot good morning
than 10 minutes without checking their phone or social media. From 2009 to 2013 the
amount of users went up from 84.3 1.52.1. This is a concern because it shows that kids
are being introduced to social media at a younger age and it is affecting the way they act
later on life. We need to find ways to slow down on how media is given to children for
future generations we’ll be missing out on important people skills.
3. Feck 3
Social media has affected democratic societies in a very positive way. Politicians
are able to get to point out faster and spread it quicker. Social media has made it easier
for politicians to get your point across without even traveling they’re able to debate
public issues from their own home for free instead of traveling around the country. Hey
good example of this is Obama’s 2008 and 2012 campaign operations because he used
Facebook to gain supporters.

Part Three
Have you ever thought about how social media could possibly be one of the
biggest problems of our generation? We use social media in our everyday lives, we think
it might be helping but behind the scenes it is actually hurting us. In class we talked about
both the positive and negatives of social media. I will be sharing with you today on how
social media is hurting us.
In an article about how children learn to interpret risky opportunities on social
network sites, one kid told a story about how he was trying to stop cyber-bullying. A kid
in his class took a photo of a boy and edited to make it look funny. He than sent it around
to people and the kid who was in the photo got made fun of. The defendant did what was
best and went up to people and told them how would you feel if that was you in the
photo. These kids were between the ages of eleven and twelve. This is a problem because
this shows how children at such a young age are getting into the social media issues and
causing problems. As they grow older this will lead to bigger issues in that school
community. This story leads into my other argument because this shows where it all
begins and where it can lead for these boys in the future.
We see media around us each and everyday, there is no way of escaping it. One
way media is connected to social media is body image. The body images we see in the
media are portrayed to be real, but they are not. The body types we see are not attainable
in reality. There are several studies, that investigate the negative consequences of body
image on male body perception and satisfaction, which all suggest a similar conclusion:
The media has a negative influence on body perception and satisfaction (Agliata &
5. Feck 5
Tantleff-Dunn, 2004; Leit, Gray, & Pope, 2002). This just comes to prove the point that
everything we see in social media is not always true.
In conclusion, social media is not benefiting us in a lot of positive ways, it is
actually hurting us more than helping us. We need to find better ways to control it for
future generations before it gets out off hand and the whole world revolves around it. I
have learned from this experiment that I need to truly think about what I am reading
before I believe it is true and talk about it. In that case I need to look and see if the
sources are credible and not just rumors made up.
