You must know this: You cannot lead those whose trust you have not earned!
Here are 6 out of 11 tips on problem solving skills. For more tips of this type, click the link: http://vkool.com/11-tips-on-problem-solving-skills/.
Being able to solve problems quickly and efficiently without hesitance or difficulties is every person’s dream. There is not a fixed formula to solve every problem in daily life or at work. However, there are skills that help us get out of difficult situations easily.
1. Indentify Your Problems
You need to admit that you are having problems before thinking about solutions to them. If you do not recognize the problems or if you try to ignore them, you will not be able to find a good way to handle them.
2. Analyze Problems
Analyzing problems thoroughly is one of the most helpful tips on problem solving skills. The process of analyzing determines the success in problem solving. It is important to know the main causes of the problems you have so that you can solve them from the root. Root cause analysis will show you how to get over your difficulty step by step.
You should also look over the effects caused by the problems you have, and decide what problem should be solved first.
3. Solve Important Problems First
Important problems are problems that can cause big effects on your life or work. You should try to figure them out and resolve them as soon as possible. No matter how hard they are, you should still keep working on them until they are completely solved. Do not hesitate to ask for help from other people around you if you cannot handle these serious cases on your own.
4. Generate Potential Solutions
You may think about some old solutions you have made or learnt from someone, but do not stick to them as they may not suit the problems you are having. You should also find out some new solutions that can best solve your issues. You can make a list of all the solutions you can find and determine how to carry them out.
5. Make Plans
After choosing the right solutions to your problems, you should prepare for carrying out those solutions by making a specific and detailed plan. You will be unable to perform solutions well when you do not really know where to start. The plan for carrying out solutions should be as specific and concrete as possible.
You should also prepare to face with things that may go wrong in the process of solving your problem. It is not easy to control everything at 100% success rate as unexpected thing may happen any time.
6. Carry Out Solutions
This step is the most important of your problem solving process. It is time you carry out the solutions you opt. You should try your best to do it step by step successfully. This is time to take action, so you should no longer worry if the solutions you choose are good or not, just focus on acting out, and see the outcomes. I believe that you will be successful after all.

Whoever’s turn it is to speak holds a basketball, and the last one to speak has to come up with a quote of the day.
Everyone puts their finger on the ball, and when the quote is said, the ball gets thrown up in the air and we all say “think about it”, as a reminder to really let the hidden meaning of the quote sink in.

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

1. Storytelling: Tips to let us in your
world…
- Guidelines Abstracts -
by Cecilia Ruberto
June 2012.
Credentials and bibliography references slide n. 12
2. You can tell a story!
And the more you do, the better you’ll be.
So don’t be shy, take a chance, make the plunge,
show your stuff, shift your gears, set the stage,
brave the storm, lift your sights—but, whatever you
do,
TELL A STORY!
The Muscles of imagination: how a story works
3. Basic assumptions…
• We all tell stories all the time. When someone asks you how your
day went, that’s an invitation for a story. We allow the listener to
participate in our lives by sharing interesting highlights of events we
experience.
• The first is the worst. Storytelling is a skill that improves with
practice. The scariest part is starting. How did you learn to swim?
By drowning for a while. How did you learn to ride a bike? By falling
many times. To tell a story well, you need to practice. The more you
practice the better you get.
• The audience looking at you wants one thing: Take us away! The
members of the audience are there to go on a story journey, and
the storyteller is there to lead them. Don’t be afraid, the audience
wants to get lost in the tale!
5. Why we want stories…
• One of the greatest human universals is
storytelling. Stories create a common bond
linking past to present, present to future, and
person to person, regardless of ethnic origin.
• Anthropological significance aside, storytelling is
a compelling method of sharing experiences in
order to make sense of our world right here and
now.
• Stories build kinship, allow a glimpse into other
people’s lives – and perhaps let us see ourselves
in the story.
Transforming Capabilities: Using Story for Knowledge Discovery & Community Development By Elizabeth A. Doty

6. So, What’s a Story?
• Good question.
When asked, most people will tell you a story is
something they have read or a fable or fairy tale they’ve
been told. They may tell you the plot to a movie they’ve
seen. Chances are they won’t tell you a story from their
own lives, simply because they don’t know that these
qualify. Nor are they likely to sing you a song or show you
a journal, a dance, a painting, or a cartoon, but they need
to know all these too can be stories.
• For the purpose of this workshop, storytelling will
focus on real life stories and personal histories.
By Word of Mouth: A Storytelling Guide for the Classroom, http://www.prel.org/products/pr_/storytelling.htm
7. How Do You Start?
• Brainstorm. First write down some story ideas. Don’t
get hung up on how good they are. Just brainstorm.
Now put one idea or memory into a sentence. Decide if
you want to tell a story in the first or third person and
what impact that will have on the story.
• Facts, Feelings, and Faces. Next, write or draw down
the sequence of facts. From there, add the details,
descriptions, details, situations, time reference,
colours. Finally, layer the feelings and emotions.
• Timing. Think about the timing of the story. Don’t be
afraid to cut it up and rearrange it out of real time or
chronological sequence if it sounds better that way.
8. Above all, trust yourself, your audience, and your story. Remember,
anyone who comes to hear a storyteller is already on your side. Just
being a storyteller is magic—even before you say a word.
• Don’t think you have to be perfect the first time you tell your story. It’s not likely!
But, if you love your story and have prepared it reasonably well, you will surely
give pleasure to your listeners and yourself. And, each time you tell the story, you
and your story will improve.
• Storytelling is magic in part because it’s personal—so make a personal contact
with your listeners. Talk to them—not at them—and don’t be afraid to talk with
them.
• Look them in the eyes. If there are too many of them, or you can’t see them all,
look mostly at the ones in front. If some aren’t paying attention, focus on those
who are.
• As you tell your story, take your time, and give time to your listeners—time to
“see” the story, time to laugh, time to feel, time to reflect, time to hang on the
edge of their seats for what comes next. It’s easy to go too fast, hard to go too
slow.

9. Different way to tell and visualise a story
You can Narrate a story but you can also use others methods to tell a
story. Various tools could help you in creating the context, the
meaning, the understanding of your story.
For example you could use:
• Drawings – preparing drawings that represent your story
• Story knifing (Yaaruiyaraq)- drawing stories with a stick on the sand
while you narrate
• Music
• Videos
• Objects/things to represent your story
• Mime
A story can be told, shown, represented, build.. You can use any
method to take us in your life.
10. Pitfalls of story-telling
• You’re Not Scared, Are You? Crafting a story from your life will not
only increase your comfort level, it will bring you higher self-
esteem. And remember: just being a storyteller is magic—even
before you say a word.
• It is true that there are many places where you do not want to call it
“storytelling” if you want to be taken seriously—at least not before
you have tried it. But when you dare to invite people to relate the
experiences behind their thinking, most often they pick up the ball
and run with it.
• Temptation to give unsolicited and sometimes unwanted advices in
response to a story (it is why it is important to set ground rules each
time). A story should not be judged.
11. Famous quotations
• “You have to understand, my dears, that the shortest distance between truth and a human being is a
story.”
Anthony de Mello, from One Minute Wisdom
• “The tale is often wiser than the teller.”
Susan Fletcher (as Marjan, in Shadow Spinner)
• “That’s the trouble with you sad-city types: a place has to be miserable and dull as ditchwater before you
believe it’s real.”
Salman Rushdie (as Blabbermouth, in Haroun and the Sea of Stories)
• “God made man because he loves stories.”
Rabbi Nachman of Bratzlev (as quoted by Steve Sanfield)
• “Stories tell us of what we already knew and forgot, and remind us of what we haven’t yet imagined.”
Anne Watson
• “We can never know truth, but some stories are better than others.”
Aaron Shepard
