The student chose the Sage learning pathway to broaden their horizons of different technologies that could be used for learning. They found that podcasts, multimedia such as videos and animations, and using an iPod/mp3 player with educational apps effectively supported their learning preferences. The student plans to continue using active and reflective learning strategies and multimedia tools. They also want to incorporate better sleep, nutrition, and stress management to support their physiological and psychological well-being as a learner. Overall, the class helped the student gain knowledge of multiple technologies to enhance their learning.

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
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2. Motivations in taking this
class
Broaden horizons of technology
◦ i.e. iPods, podcasts, microblogs, etc.
Learning new information about
technologies
◦ i.e. MMOGs and games help with active
learning style
Gain knowledge of using such
technologies
◦ i.e. iPods with an app for flashcards
4. Personal Learning Preferences
Active Vs. Reflective
Reflective -7
I agree with the results of this part of the
learning survey. I am much more of a reflective
learner than I am an active learner. I prefer to
work alone and only depend on myself to figure
out the problem. I like the satisfaction of
knowing I figured out the problem. Another
reason why I agree that I am a reflective learner
is because I tend to think things out more before
acting upon the situation. I think of things from
all different aspects and even all the possible
outcomes before I choose what to do. I want to
make sure I make the right decision.
5. Personal Learning Preferences
Sensing Vs. Intuitive
Sensing -1
I do agree that I am a little bit of both but
am more on the sensory side. I rather
learn facts and tell others about them,
which helps to store it in my memory
bank. When it comes to solving
problems a method that I know is the
best most of the time will be my method
of choice or even the method I know the
most.
6. Personal Learning Preferences
Visual Vs. Verbal
Verbal -1
I agree and disagree with the verbal survey
outcome. I actually thought when I see
something done I learn better from it, but I
guess since the outcome is an even amount of
both I guess I would also have to agree. I think
it depends on the subject, for example math. In
math you can tell me how to solve a problem,
but I won’t understand how you solved it unless
I see it drawn out. However, when it comes to
biology if I hear it said to me I better understand
and I tend to learn it more.
7. Personal Learning Preferences
Sequential Vs. Global
Sequential-1
I agree that I am an even amount of both
however; I fall a little more on the sequential
portion. I do learn more when steps are given to
solve problems or understand topics. I am an
equally global learner as well because I may
learn the details, however; my memory
sometimes gets a little hazy when it comes to
explaining it. I tend to forget the correct terms
when explaining which just adds to the
confusion of the person I’m explaining the
information to.
9. Learning Preferences:
Thoughts
I’m more intuitive with my strengths and
weaknesses when it comes to learning.
◦ I now know what works best for me and what I lack in
and I try to apply what I lack in into learning new
information.
◦ I want to balance each learning preference to where
they are completely even and I can learn anyway I
want.
Knowing your learning preferences does make a
different in your personal learning success
because it will help you out more when you know
which way of learning works for you.
◦ If you aren’t aware of how you learn then you will
continue to struggle in finding ways to learn and
retain the information that is being presented to you.
11. Learning Pathway: Sage
Learning Sage Pathway
Primary Goal
◦ New Knowledge - Broader investigation
into more technologies
◦ Selection of this pathway should be
choosen if you want to learn more about
different technologies and how they can
be used for learning in general
12. Top 3 Technologies: Podcasts,
Multimedia, and iPod/mp3
players
Podcasts
◦ Before I learned about and explored the subject of
podcasts I didn’t know much about them. I thought of
they were short 2-3 minute informative
announcements.
◦ However, when I viewed the presentation and
performed the level 2 portion I realized there was
much more to it. When I performed the level 2 predict,
use, and evaluate activities I explored 4 out of the 5
possible links given. I was able to learn about a
variety of topics such as physics, which is a very
interesting topic to me.
i.e. The physics podcast helped remind me about E=mc2
and a variety of topics relating to the subject. Knowing
where I could find podcasts relating to my classes with
specific subjects pertaining to what we are learning
definitely helped me gain a way to learn new information.
13. Top 3 Technologies: Podcasts,
Multimedia, and iPod/mp3
players
Multimedia
◦ I knew of various types of multimedia such as
videos, animation, etc. However, I never knew
they could be so beneficial to my learning.
◦ I was always exposed to different types of
multimedia in my classes, especially when it
came to science. Examples of experiments or
how processes work in the body were always
shown to us in videos or in animations.
◦ I never thought to use the variety of videos,
animations, presentations, etc. out there put out
by people who are very knowledgeable in the
topic to help me learn. Using these types of
multimedia did definitely improve my learning of
how to do better in my classes.
14. Top 3 Technologies: Podcasts,
Multimedia, and iPod/mp3
players
iPod/mp3 players
◦ When I first think of iPods and mp3 players I think of
music and apps, and with my iPod, that’s it is exactly
what I used it for. I didn’t think that an mp3 player
would benefit me so much.
◦ When I explored the links given in the level 2
technology quest, it showed me new ways I could use
my device to help me learn.
◦ For example the flashcards app, I was able to create
tons of flashcards and take them with me everywhere
and not have to worry about losing any or lugging
around large stacks of cards. Another great app was
the chemistry podcasts app.
◦ Like the flashcards, I was able to have all these
podcasts at the click of a button. Knowing ways to
make my iPod beneficial to my learning was the best.
16. Technologies: Experiences
The podcast technology quest was one of the technology
quests that worked well when it came to my learning
preferences.
According to my survey results I am a more verbal than visual
learner, which I never found to be true myself.
◦ When I found this out I decided to accommodate the learning
preference by finding the technologies that would better help my
verbal learning preference which was podcasts, and it definitely
helped me.
I was able to use podcasts to see how much I could learn
after listening to them really well and it resulted in me learning
a lot more information I thought.
Podcasts accommodated my verbal learning preference
◦ there were no visuals for me to see or reference to when the
podcasts were playing.
I had to focus more on what was being said instead of focusing on pictures
that were included.
18. Physiological factors:
Personal Use
The Good
◦ The technology categories that interested me the most as
learning tools was the multimedia and iPod/mp3 players
I never knew how much and how well I could learn from these two
technologies, especially my using my iPod.
◦ Technology categories I want to explore further to improve
learning are the multimedia.
I feel I learn best when I have a visual to reference to. Having a
visual whether it is a picture, a slideshow, animations, etc.
I learn it more without trying too much to learn what is going on
which helps me tremendously.
◦ Multimedia worked well for me because I am a visual and
verbal learner but lean more towards the verbal portion.
However, I feel as if I learn better with visuals such as
animations and pictures.
By using the links in what multimedia had to offer I felt like it
accommodated my visual learning by having me view photos, play
animations, and even read texts.
19. Physiological factors:
Personal Use
The Bad
◦ The technology that did not seem to work
as well as a learning tool was
microblogging. I felt like I didn’t and
couldn’t learn much from little excerpts
given in microblogs.
The microblogs could tell me some information,
but not enough, so I would have to look to other
sources to find out more information.
20. Physiological factors:
Personal Use
The Best
The technology that worked best for
me was games and MMOGs.
◦ Playing the games helped me to improve
my sequential learning since I was in the
middle when it came to whether or not I
was a sequential or global learner.
◦ By playing the games and having to take
certain steps in order to complete the task
really accommodated my sequential
learning.
21. Physiological factors:
Personal Use
Personal Benefits
◦ couple of technologies that can be used to promote
personal well-being as a learner are iPod and mp3
players.
I chose these technologies is because they are used so
frequently, they are taken everywhere and can be used
anywhere for anything at almost any time
◦ Earlier in class we learned about the physiology of
learning
how to improve how and how much we can learn.
when learning overload can occur and stress can be
induced from it.
By using iPods and mp3 players we can either download
music or even apps that help to improve ourselves while
also improving our learning.
For example an app that contains meditation workouts or
music
This will help to improve your stress load when it comes to learning
large amounts of material or anything else stressful relating to
school.
23. Future Use
I will continue to use after this class will be active and
reflective learning.
◦ For example, if I were to purchase a Mac laptop, which I
have never used before, I would have to incorporate my
active learning by playing around with the computer and
learning how it works on my own. While also using my
reflective in which I would have to think of the way to get to
certain programs installed on the device.
The technologies I will continue to use for learning after
this class is multimedia
◦ An example of how they could be used outside of school is
organizing your closet. I am bad at organizing anything, so
by looking up tutorials such as how to websites or even
videos on how to better organize your belongings would help
me to become organized.
The technologies I will use for non-learning purposes will
be an iPod and mp3 player.
◦ I normally use it for music and even playing games, so I have
already been using them for non-learning purposes.
24. Future Use
I will continue to integrate physiological factors into my own
learning practices by getting the sleep I need every night along
with needed nutrition my body needs to perform at its best.
◦ incorporating more sleep and even more nutritional food into my
diet I will be able to perform my best at any task I have ahead of me
such as a busy school day or just a busy day in general.
I am pretty shy when you first get to know me, so it will be sort
of hard for me to integrate social factors into my personal
learning practices.
◦ I plan to try to do more group study sessions and even homework
sessions to better integrate social factors into my own learning
practices.
I will continue to integrate psychological factors of learning into
my personal learning practices by using physiological factors
that will help me to improve myself.
◦ By sleeping more, my brain will be more alert and I will be more
focused in whatever I am doing.
◦ Possibly incorporating meditation or some type of stress reducing
practice will help to keep my stress levels low and my head leveled
which will keep me sane in a time where chaos is overpowering my
world.
25. Learning Sage Pathway:
Summary
I chose the learning sage pathway in the beginning of
the class because I wanted to broaden my use of
different kinds of technology to help me in learning and
even research
I believe I was successful in getting a broader
knowledge of different technologies
◦ I believe I was successful because even though I knew of
most of the technologies discussed, I didn’t know how to
apply them to me and my learning.
◦ By going through the entire tech quests I was able to
broaden my horizons when it came to using multiple
technologies to learn the new information.
The quests also introduced me to new technologies I could use to
learning which helped tremendously.
I did not change my pathway because I wanted to gain a broader
knowledge of the different technologies out there.
By continuing with the sage pathway I was able further my knowledge in
technologies
26. In Conclusion
In conclusion, this class has taught me a lot.
From showing me how I learn as an
individual to how learning can affect me and
my body, to even showing me ways of
obtaining new information when researching.
Everything that was taught that I learned from
the class had benefited me. As a learning
sage pathway chooser, I felt I learned
everything that was needed to be learned to
fulfill my objective in the pathway. With the
knowledge the class provided me I feel like I
have learned so many more ways of
obtaining information and using it to the best
of my abilities which was the major plus in
taking this course.
