Beginning teachers' readiness to use ICT in education: Validation of the SQD-...Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The goal of this study was to validate an instrument to measure pre-service teachers’ perceptions about the support and training they receive to integrate technology into classroom activities. Specifically, we focused on the strategies included in the inner circle of the SQD-model (Tondeur et al., 2012): 1) using teacher educators as role models, 2) reflecting on the role of technology in education, 3) learning how to use technology by design,
4) collaboration with peers, 5) scaffolding authentic technology experiences, and 6) providing continuous feedback. In supporting the implementation of such strategies, the developed SQD-scale could be used in two ways. First, it can be used to measure the extent to which pre-service teachers experience these strategies and perceive them as supportive. Second, the instrument can encourage TTIs to reflect on their efforts to support
future teachers in the effective integration of technology.
In order to validate the SQD-scale we collected in-depth interviews with beginning teachers. Specifically, we explored 1) how beginning teachers with less than three years of teaching experience integrate technology in their instructional practice and 2) the connections between these beginning teachers’ educational
uses of technology and the strategies (included in the SQD-scale) adopted by their pre-service education programs. The results revealed that all beginning teachers acknowledged the importance of the six strategies but not all of them were addressed during their pre-service learning experiences. It appears that teacher educators as role models of technology use was a strategy that motivated beginning teachers to use technology in their own
teaching, but field experiences seemed to be the most critical factor influencing their educational use of technology.
Bridging the digital divide: How schools can prepare students to be good digi...williamslibrary
Abstract
As technology moves at a rapid pace it is important to review how students from low socio economic areas are catered for. Schools in these areas face many challenges; how they address these issues impacts on the students’ participation and skills as digital and global citizens. The government is implementing policies and funding to reduce the digital divide, but is it enough to prepare students from low socio economic areas to function effectively as digital citizens.

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.
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
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.

Pedagogy
Good teaching practice is what really
matters!
17. So what does that require?
Especially with current technologies
18. Staff Professional Development
• The integration of ICT in the classroom
requires time and effort by the teacher.
• From my personal experience teachers are
neither given the time, nor the appropriate
training.
• So here are some ideas to begin your training
process.
19. Tech Brekkies
The idea is to have a quick half hour catch up on
tools, tips and tricks in Information and
Communication Technologies and good teaching
pedagogy.

21. Twenty-20
The twenty-20 challenge is an idea to have
members present 5 minute keynote
presentations with the use of pictures and
minimal text and be given 20-30 seconds per
slide.

involves members with a skill in a particular ICT
tool providing small group training and given
just 5 minutes to get this done.

29. What is a PLN?
PLN is an acronym for Personal Learning Network.
Teachers have always had learning networks.
Previously they included teachers in your
school, old workmates, a few colleagues from
University and maybe a number of presenters at
workshops (like Future Science) you had
attended. We learn from these people and we
share with them also.
30. What is a PLN?
Your PLN no longer needs to include only those
who you can physically “catch-up” with. You do
not even need to have met these people. But
these people can be all be a source for your
professional development.

33. Let’s start with twitter
• If you haven’t already sent a tweet today
maybe you could try. Share what you have
learnt or how you are feeling.
• If you haven’t got an account, it is easy to sign

44. There are others that are very effective
Evernote
Simplenote
Google docs
I use Evernote for many of my notes due to its
easiness to sync across all my devices.
45. The reason I love it
and recommend it
is the pen input software.
NOTHING ELSE MATCHES IT!
So we have added computers to the environment. How has the setting of this room changed? It is still a lecture style with students sitting in rows.
The idea of this is to provide a mini keynote presentation.The rules are you must only use pictures with minimal text.You have a maximum of 20 slides.Slides stay up on the screen for a certain time frame.
