Spain has a very mountainous landscape with numerous mountain ranges that make travel difficult. It has three main watersheds that drain into the Atlantic Ocean, Cantabrian Sea, and Mediterranean Sea. Spain also hosts over half of Europe's biodiversity and has many protected natural areas, including 15 national parks, that help preserve the country's rich wildlife.

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.

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
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.
2. Spain is a very mountainous country, due to the numerous mountain ranges and the Central
Plateau. The average altitude is 650 m. This makes communications difficult.

- Generally straight coasts, with the exception of Galicia, whose
coasts are very much trimmed by the rías formed in the mouth
of some rivers. The Upper Rías (Viveiro, Foz, Ortigueira) are
short and narrow, while the Lower Rías are deeper and wider.
- High and rocky coasts predominate, especially in the
Cantabrian coast and Catalonia, where there are many cliffs
due to the proximity of the mountains to the sea.
- The plain areas, with sandy beaches, are located in the gulfs of
Valencia, Alicante and Cádiz. Lowlands are also found on the
mouths of rivers Tagus and Guadiana, on the Portuguese
coast.
- The coasts of the Balearic Islands combine
beaches, cliffs and small coves.
- In the Canary Islands there are also cliffs and
sandy and rocky beaches.

15. Spain hosts 54% of the species of fauna
and flora of Europe and almost 50% of
the unique species in Europe. The rich
biodiversity of the country has different
levels of protection. The protected areas
cover 27% of its surface (around 13.7
million hectares). In 2014 there were
1,570 natural spaces protected, including
both maritime and terrestrial spaces:
there are 15 national parks, 162 natural
parks, 39 biosphere reserves, 56
protected natural areas, 319 natural
monuments and other protected spaces,
like wetlands. All these protected areas
belong to the Natura 2000 Network, a
European network created to preserve
the biodiversity of Europe.
NATURAL AREAS AND PROBLEMS
16. The first Spanish national park was created
in 1918 in Picos de Europa, Asturias. Since
then, other 14 national parks have been
created: Sierra Nevada is the biggest park,
the Tablas de Daimiel Park is the smallest
one and the Teide is the most visited one,
while the Archipelago of Cabrera is the
least visited park.
