Entering the Twittersphere: Using Twitter as a Learning ToolLaura Overton
This was a workshop facilitated by Levi Phillips (Towards Maturity) and Rosie Haighton (Charity Learning Consortium) that aimed to help L&D professionals in the Charity sector feel comfortable and confident using Twitter to engage others and learn from industry peers. People loved it, so we thought we'd share it!
Why do you want to join Twitter? We get it, you don't want to know about what celebrity's dating who, but did you know you can use it as a learning tool?
This workshop took the Charity Learning Consortium's members through the very basics of Twitter, from getting started, creating an account, and the dreaded Twitter jargon.
We then started looking at how to get involved, twitter chats and twitter communities, and how this platform can help you build your personal learning networks.
You can find out about what interests you as quickly as a Google search, you're exposed to rich material that you can curate, share and use within the workplace.
So if you're new to this social media malarkey, get involved, it might just surprise you!
This workshop was created and presented by Rosie Haighton, Community Manager at the Charity Learning Consortium, and Levi Phillips, Project Executive at Towards Maturity.

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.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.
1. @WiseinWV
Wise in WV tweets mainly about sexual health amongst the younger generation. Wise in WV tends to
be an advocate for condom use to avoid STDs and Pregnancy. Wise in WV also gives statistics about
STDs to put into perspective how easy they are to catch. A few of the retweets were interesting
YouTube videos on sexual health. Birth control seems to be a major topic addressed by Wise in WV as a
lot of issues stem from teenage pregnancy. Wise in WV also has a few tweets about various events they
attended. Finally, it seems Wise in WV posts from time to time about other social issues such as voting.
Overall, Wise in WV seemed to be pretty informative about sexual health which is something I feel
everyone needs to know about. Wise in WV also seems to be very supportive of the younger
generations decisions and encourages a “if your going to do it, at least be safe” attitude which is cool. I
believe Wise in WV definitely is a must have follow for high school and early college student.
@Ci350class
CI350Class (or Harold) seems to vary with what’s posted. A lot of the Twitter feed consisted of
technology being posted for use in the classroom. An example was a tweet talking about Super Social
Media App. CI350Class also posts a lot of articles talking about how to use technology in the classroom.
A lot of the technology articles seemed to be about social media as well. CI350Class also posted
personal opinions on recent events which makes the Twitter feed seem more “human.” Alongside the
personal opinions, CI350Class retweeted a few YouTube videos with one being Jared Leto shouting
Venezuela which I thought was cool. Lastly, CI350Class was used by Harold to interact with students
and ask questions outside of class. Overall, the content from CI350class varied and I enjoyed most of
the content posted. The only concern I had with CI350class were the countless updates from an
exercise app that interrupted other content.
@StumpTeacher
StumpTeacher’s Twitter feed is focused around the advocacy for student’s potential. In one tweet,
Stumpteacher posted that adults seem to think students aren’t capable of being competent and that
adults need to have faith in the students. Stumpteacher is also very appreciative of the people helping
out in classrooms which is nice. StumpTeacher seems to retweet things showcasing students work
which shows that he truly cares about what students do. Finally, tweets encouraging students to do
their best without solely relying on others help (like the teacher) are common. These types of tweets
also include student hygiene which is something I feel teachers should push. Overall, I enjoyed reading
the content posted by StumpTeacher. I feel his views are insightful and encouraging to students. I feel
teachers should aspire to be more like StumpTeacher in how they view students – students are our next
generation and need to be given the encouragement that they CAN succeed.
@MZimmer557
MZimmer is similar to Stumpteacher in the respect that he posts a lot about how certain technologies
can be used in class. In fact, the majority of MZimmer557’s feed consists of various articles written
about technology. The articles cover items like technology comparisons, new technologies Zimmer
thinks are cool, and how to use certain technologies in fun ways. Zimmer also seems to like sports as he
has retweeted multiple items relating to sports. Overall, I didn’t enjoy Zimmer’s feed nearly as much as I
enjoyed some of the other feeds as I feel the feed was more robotic and less personal than the others.
2. However, Mzimmer557 offers some valuable information on technology in the classroom which is nice
so his feed isn’t all bad.
@starwars
The feed I decided to follow for my personal choice is the official Star Wars twitter feed. Starwar s
posted advertisements for the new film which got me excited for the movie. Starwars also posted a lot
of give aways to reward fans. Starwars posted a lot of real life fan shots of various Star Wars characters
coming to real life (costumes). Starwars posted scenes from their animated series as well. Starwars has
a lot of fan interactions and also posts random quotes/wisdom/etc for followers to like. Overall, I really
enjoy following starwars because the material constantly changes and stimulates my Star Wars fan self.
I think production companies that are active on social media make for a happier fan base as can be seen
from the fans of Star Wars interacting with the page.
