Philadelphia
Philadelphia was founded in 1682 by William Penn and served as the temporary capital of the United States from 1790-1800. It is important to American history as many pivotal events took place there, including the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776 at Independence Hall. Independence Hall is also where George Washington was appointed Commander in Chief in 1775 and where the Constitution was drafted in 1787. The Liberty Bell, located in Independence Hall, was commissioned in 1751 and rang for many public announcements, later becoming a symbol of the abolitionist movement seeking to outlaw slavery.

Social studies study guide chapter 4 for 3rd grade 3 8-17
3/9/2017
This week I have created a study guide for the 3rd graders who are having a test next week in Social Studies from the 2008 Houghton Mifflin series. The unit is called Communities in History. Pages 108-135 (27 pages) were condensed to nine PowerPoint slides. Though it was created for a English Language Learner, there is oft the chance that it could help many others as well. Would love to get your feedback!

By Dr. Vinod Kumar KanvariaA Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
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.
