Educators all over the world are examining the methods, and tools required to
develop the 21st century skills our students need to succeed in their schools, workplaces and
civic lives. One device many educators are already using in their classrooms with great
results in the iPod. Teachers are using iPod to support second language learners, address
the needs of diverse learners, motivate struggling readers, as well as to support their own
professional development. And, because the iPod is mobile, teachers and students can learn
where and when they want. With the entrance of the iPod into popular culture over the last
few years there has been an increased interest in the use of the devices in education. It is
becoming apparent to educators that the combination of iTunes and iPod and with the
advent of Podcasting this potential is now a reality. This article explores the educational
uses for teachers and pupils of the iPod – iTunes combination in the classroom.

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.

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

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.

Introduction: iPod touch and iTunes
iPod touch is an easy-to-use mobile device with many uses. It can be used to store
and play audio and video, view images, and access the Internet. Teacher and students can
use the productivity applications that come with iPod touch to send and receive email, take
notes, use a scientific calculator, keep calendars and contact files, access Google Maps, and
much more. And by choosing from hundreds of education applications available for
download from the Apple App Store, teaching and learning is expanded even more.
Students can view the stars, learn a language, review math facts, and learn about history.
With iPod touch, everyone can copy and paste from application to application, such as text
from a webpage to a note. iPod can also be connected to a TV or projection device (with an
added AV cable) to display slide presentations and other files. And, with the addition of
earphones with a built-in microphone or a third-party microphone (sold separately), iPod
touch can be used to record any kind of audio file—from class lectures to poetry readings.
Loading files, applications, photos, songs, and video content onto an iPod touch is simple.
iTunes is an application for organizing and playing digital audio and video content.
It has an incredibly easy-to-use interface for managing the content on iPod. iPod touch and
iTunes work seamlessly together to synchronize music, video, and other files available on a
computer with iPod touch. This can be set up to happen automatically so that when an iPod
touch is connected to a computer, the iTunes library is automatically synced to the iPod
touch. Adding content to your iTunes library is as easy as downloading it from the iTunes
Store or importing a CD. The iTunes library can hold a collection of digital audio and video
files, such as music from a CD, video files downloaded from iTunes U, and audio books
purchased from the iTunes Store. As an iTunes collection grows, you can maintain multiple
libraries for classroom use.
Applications of iPod in Education
Using iPod in the classroom can also assist in helping students’ master content
standards. Capturing the attention of today’s students can be challenging, and using iPod
with audio books is yet another way to get students engaged in learning. The following are
the applications of iPod in Education. Hear iPod in Education can be subdivided in to three
parts.

For Teachers
There has been recognition for some time that the iPod – iTunes combination has
the potential to be a powerful content delivery platform and this can now be exploited in a
number of different ways.
Recorded lessons: With an iPod and microphone or suitably equipped computer it
would be very simple for a teacher to record a lesson and to put these online for pupils to
access after a lesson. This could be to help those pupils who missed the lesson or to help
pupils to review their lessons later on. The recording and sharing of lessons or lectures
could be an interesting way for educational institutions to share teaching resources.
Assessment: An iPod could be used to record a pupil’s progress in reading,
foreign language or in their understanding of a subject. For example a teacher could record
a student reading over a period of time and keep this as a record of progress to be shared
with colleagues or parents. This could be stored in iTunes, on an iPod or burnt to CD for
archiving and sharing.
Language teaching: Both iTunes and iPod can be used to teach languages very
successfully. iTunes can use recorded words and phrases accompanied by adapted cover art
images or words to teach a language. The audio can also be given meta data via the
comments section of the audio files information settings that will enable iTunes to be
searched. iPod can use audio files in a number of ways. It can use conventional playlists
and cover art plus the note reader feature of iPod found in the Extras menu. This allows a
menu to be created that links to audio files on the iPod. This means that a teacher could
create a set of phrases that show the written text in both languages and on a button click
will provide an audio version of the file.
Information delivery: Because of its ability to handle audio, images, text and, in the
case of iTunes video the iPod –iTunes combination is great for the delivery of all sorts of
information. This could be, for example, audio commentaries on a subject being undertaken
by the pupils such as a piece of literature. The information could be in the form of a PDF in
iTunes or as a text file on an iPod. The teacher might want to give the pupils information
via a short video clip that is to be discussed in class or in an assignment.
4. K.THIYAGU NEW FRONTIERS IN EDUCATION 2012

Audio books: Audio books are a powerful way of getting pupils interested in
reading and there are now large numbers of them available. The combination if iTunes and
iPod means that it is possible to combine written text and images within the audio book
format to enhance the experience. For example the text could provide a teacher
commentary on the text in the form of notes or it could include the actual text if needed.
The audio book format also remembers where you were the last time you were listening to
the audio file.
Podcast course material: With Podcasting the formats of enhanced Audio,
movies and PDF can be delivered to a pupils computer and iPod automatically with no
effort on the pupils behalf. All the student has to do is to subscribe and then make use of the
material.
For Pupils
iPod and iTunes gives opportunities to pupils to create and share different media
with a wide audience in different formats.
Digital Stories: Using an iPod or iTunes is a great way for pupils to deliver and
share digital stories. The digital stories could be simply an audio story or a combination of
images and audio. The images might be digital photographs or scanned images that the
pupils have created. The digital stories could be delivered as a playlist in iTunes and on an
iPod with the images being delivered as cover art.
Podguides: A Podguide is a variation on the audio books mentioned above but is
designed to allow pupils to provide a guided tour of a variety of different situations. The
sort of thing that could be produced could be a pupils’ interpretation of a local museum, a
guide to the local area or an explanation of a project they have completed such as a design
and technology project.
Podcasting: Podcasting is a great tool for pupils to allow them to create content
for a real audience. The Podcast content could almost be anything ranging from a
traditional radio show to something with a sharp curriculum focus. These Podcast could be
produced using the enhanced format that includes images, chapters and hyperlinks.
Documentaries: Using a suitably equipped iPod or computer pupils can easily
record material that will help them create documentary type projects. This could include
interviews with other pupils or with expert adults. The documentaries do not have only to
include recorded material but images as well.
5. K.THIYAGU NEW FRONTIERS IN EDUCATION 2012
5
Reading Records: Pupils can use suitably equipped iPods and computers with
iTunes to keep a record of their reading progress. This could include short reviews of books
that they have read or recording of them reading out loud. This can be used by teachers and
parents to review progress and for pupils keep an audio record of their reading progress
over time.
For Both (Teachers and Pupils)
The applications that come with iPod touch offer a set of valuable resources that
support teaching and learning in the classroom. The following are the general applications
of iPod for both teacher as well as pupils.
Music: By tapping Music on iPod touch, Teacher can access content that has been
downloaded from iTunes, including enhanced podcasts, audio books, student voice
recordings, famous speeches, songs, and more. To browse audio collection, tap Music, then
tap Playlists, Artists, or Songs.
Video: iPod touch allows to view full motion video downloaded from iTunes,
including free education movies in iTunes U, feature films, TV shows, video podcasts, and
instructional media. Also, iPod touch integrates seamlessly with iMovie, so student
productions can be viewed on the go. Videos play in widescreen to take advantage of the
full iPod touch display.
Photos: With Photos on iPod touch, everyone can view photos and images
transferred from their computer or saved on iPod touch. Photos can be viewed in portrait or
landscape mode and as a slideshow. Photos can also be used for wallpaper on iPod touch.
Notes: With Notes, everyone can easily add, read, and revise notes that appear
onscreen on a yellow notepad. Notes can be used for to-do lists, for taking notes as students
work on collaborative projects, at staff meetings and field trips, and more.
Calculator: Calculator makes it easy for students to keep track of their
calculations—when tap the add, subtract, multiply, or divide button, a white ring appears
around that button to indicate what operation is selected. When rotate the iPod touch, it
changes to a fully functional scientific calculator with dozens of functions.
Mail: The Mail application can be used to receive and send emails when the iPod
touch has joined a Wi-Fi network that is connected to the Internet. The email account
settings need to be added to iPod touch Settings or in the iTunes iPod touch preferences
pane. Calendars: To keep track of important dates or school schedules, Teacher and
students can use the Calendar feature of iPod touch. Teacher can enter and edit calendar
6. K.THIYAGU NEW FRONTIERS IN EDUCATION 2012

events directly on iPod touch. Teacher can also create calendars with iCal (included on
every new Mac) or Outlook, such as a class calendar with due dates for projects, school
holidays, field trips, and other school activities, and then sync the calendar to iPod touch to
share with the class.
Clock: Teacher and students can use the Clock application to see what time it is in
other parts of the world, to set repeating or one-time alarms, and use a stopwatch and timer.
Contacts: Teacher and students can have contact information synced to iPod touch
from MobileMe, Address Book, Google Address Book, Windows Microsoft Outlook, or
Microsoft Exchange. Teacher can also add contact information to iPod touch directly.
Settings: iPod touch settings can all be adjusted in the Settings window. Everyone
can set their wallpaper, screen brightness, and settings for network, mail, web, music,
video, photos, and more. In Settings, Teacher can also set auto-lock and a passcode for
security and restrict access to explicit iTunes content and certain applications.
iPod touch and iTunes as powerful educational tools
Innovative educators are using iPod touch and iTunes as powerful educational tools
to meet students’ academic needs and to help them achieve 21st century literacy. With the
pocket-sized iPod touch, students have a tool that’s custom-suited to the tasks they need to
handle every day. Addressing students with special needs, such as visual and auditory
impairments, is also made easier with the use of iPod touch and iTunes.
iPod touch is a mobile learning tool—allowing anywhere, anytime access to
applications, video, audio, photos, and to the Internet and email via a wireless
network. Its mobility also means that students can readily share their work with
classmates and family members.
Because the iPod touch offers mobility, it “time shifts” education, allowing the
learner to access content at the most convenient time, and as many times as
necessary.
iPod touch and iTunes are tools for delivering differentiated curriculum to learners
attachable moments at different times and locations. This is especially important for
students performing below grade level because it gives educators a way to
accelerate and extend the students’ learning time beyond the school day.
7. K.THIYAGU NEW FRONTIERS IN EDUCATION 2012
7
Teachers can provide background information for students to access on an iPod
touch outside of class, which allows classroom time to be focused on discussions
and deeper exploration of content.
Whatever the subject, teachers and students will find invaluable resources to support
learning from the thousands of educational applications available through the
iTunes App Store for iPod touch. And, with a wireless network, all of the Internet is
readily available as well.
iPod touch is a valuable aid for student collaboration on projects—for
communicating with other students, teachers, and outside experts by email; tracking
due dates with the calendar; taking notes; performing Internet research; and more.
iPod touch gives educators a way to easily harness the power of the spoken word for
students, both on its own and combined with videos, photos, and other images.
iPod touch and iTunes are a perfect way to present interdisciplinary lessons that link
music, art, and literature and to enrich lessons.
Another big plus is the motivation factor of iPod touch and iTunes. They meet the
mobile and media-rich learning styles of today’s students and allow them to learn as
they live—on the go.
Teachers are using iPod to help students learn a foreign language, become better
readers, reinforce math and science concepts, and support the diverse needs of
today’s learners. The opportunities are endless.
Conclusion
Innovative educators, from instructional leaders working in state capitals to
classroom practitioners responsible for a single set of students, are exploring how iPod can
serve as a powerful educational tool in teachers’ and students’ efforts to achieve 21st
century literacy. What they are discovering is that iPod presents a number of educational
affordance; for instance:
Because iPod is portable, it can take learning beyond the boundaries of the
classroom.
Its fit -in-our pocket ease offers anytime, anywhere opportunities for teaching and
learning.
With the creative support of life, it can help foster students’ information, visual and
media illiteracies.
