Juan Felipe Rincon - How Do You Teach 10 Million Hard-to-Reach Website Owners...Turing Fest
Some key audiences can be really difficult to reach. Those of us who focus on helping website owners keep their sites safe from hackers know this well — those who we think we could help the most are often the least tuned-in. Through the years that Google has been chipping away at the challenge of teaching all webmasters how to be security-conscious, we’ve learned some lessons we like to share — the challenges, techniques that have worked, approaches we tried and haven’t been quite as effective, and how this ties to our own philosophy of focusing on content that is relevant, targeted and focused on solving the user need.
Martin Luther King, Jr. said, “Human progress is neither automatic nor inevitable. Even a superficial look at history reveals that no social advance rolls in on the wheels inevitability.” Social movements are not spontaneous events—as women’s suffrage and the civil rights movement have proven—success requires strategy, resources, and planning. But how is progress measured and how do supporters know when to persist with a strategy or change course? This session explores how to evaluate social movements through the example of an emerging movement-building initiative for economic justice. The session will address questions such as what are the challenges in evaluating community organizing, movement-building, and social change? What are the innovations in measuring progress in today’s social movements?

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
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.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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.

Hello. Im dom. and im here from futuregov and we are working with Surrey County Council to design and deliver FutureSurrey:\n
This presentation is part of our 2nd tier support. Surrey is already thinking about social media can be used in adverse conditions - this presentation and the work FutureGov is doing with Surrey agencies has been designed to help you amplify the work you’re already doing and think about ways that you can shape your future strategy and actions. \n
Our two core projects are casserole which uses food as a social object to help address social isolation. And help out - a civic action web based app - which helps people lend a hand in the place where they live. \n
This presentation provides a quick overview of how some local authorities and national agencies are using social media in adverse events - flood, fire, snow...major disruptive events. One of these (flood) is a major risk in Surrey. But snow is also very high profile and has in the past couple of years had a high impact on residents, businesses and public services.\n
Traditional models of crisis communication have operated through a few major nodes of comms. The responding agency and mainstream broadcast media (e.g. local radio). Disperse communications may have been through phone, i.e. people phoning incidents in and things like the Environment Agency floodline.\n
But now we’re living a new world where incidents like the crash landing in the Hudson are reported first through social media.\n
Or adverse events like this summer’s looting are actually propagated through social media and private messaging networks. \n
But at the same time, people are using social media to aid in the recovery - like here in post-looting cleanups in Battersea.\n
Social media in crisis comms begins with preparedness. The Federal Emergency Management Agency uses a variety of social media in its comms toolkit to help people prepare (and recover). Agencies in the UK - e.g. Flood Group UK (Environment Agency) are just starting. But an important issue to consider in preparation is authority and authenticity. It’s easy to set up accounts that LOOK LIKE official agencies - so make sure you’re already part of the conversation - and use tools like Twitter’s verified accounts to show you’re the real you. (Surrey Police have already done this!) The Cabinet Office is helping local agencies to do this. \n
Local authorities, too, can help with emergency preparedness. This is an interactive site run by San Francisco but which covers a much larger area in California in partnership with other local authorities. This is, of course, an area that has a lot of disasters. Fire, flash flood, mudslide, fire and earthquake (with tsunamis in coastal areas!) They have a lot to prepare for! \n
Queensland have famously used social media well in the catastrophic floods last year. There are case studies available which show how they resourced and set up their accounts and how they used Facebook and Twitter to receive reports from local residents and dispatch people where emergency services couldn’t reach in time. Social media saved lives in Queensland. What’s really cool is that Queensland Police have capitalised on their new audience. They continue to use their Facebook page really well - including sharing stories which are nothing to do with disaster. The black and white photos are related to a story of sea mine recovery and disposal in the late 60s. A nice human interest story which helps to keep people clicking on their content, which keeps them prominent in people’s Facebook activity streams. This means that people are more likely to see the warning posted above last week.\n\nLink to a pdf case study on Queensland flooding and social media http://www.police.qld.gov.au/Resources/Internet/services/reportsPublications/documents/QPSSocialMediaCaseStudy.pdf\n\n\n
Last week there was a grass fire in Napa County, California. A state wide fire alert account on Twitter shared information. This was retweeted and thus amplified by a number of others. One of them was winecountrydog. This is a twitter account written from a DOG’s perspective. This might seem silly, but it has 6K followers. Winecountrydog also shared information that it (or its human companion) had which wasn’t on Twitter. Napa County Sheriff’s department has no twitter account, but important local information was shared to a fairly wide audience by a concerned citizen (or dogizen).\n\n\n
Many councils in the UK have also used social media to alert people about road and school closures during snow or to keep people informed about winter conditions and update them about gritting routes. Some councils have even used Twitter to motivate 4x4 owners to help out local people. Like Queensland police, Coventry has capitalised on its new followers in Facebook and now has the most followers of any UK council. They’ve maintained and grown this audience by providing regular relevant and especially fun content and being more Coventry focused than Coventry Council focused. (Facebook runs on fun). This helps them reach more people when they need to. \n
Social media really comes into its own in times of recovery. Snowmageddon - which is basically crowdsourcing and support using an open source plaform called Ushahidi that also uses SMS effectively. Hands On Nashville is a volunteer clearing house which has operated in Middle Tennessee for around 20 years. They began using social media some time ago, but really used it effectively after the Nashville floods of 2010 in which whole neighbourhoods were practically write-offs and over a billion dollars in damage as well as loss of life. Skilled, semi-skilled and unskilled volunteers were directed to casual volunteering opportunities. I am from this area and witnessed friends directing other friends to follow Hands On Nashville to find ways to help out. And many of my Facebook friends (as well as a lot of other people!) amplified messages about areas and projects that needed a hand. \n
Surrey is already doing some great work on planning and coordination. But some easy things can be done in terms of coordinating social media accounts, amplifying each others’ messages, ensuring that people know what accounts to follow and promoting hashtags like #surreysnow on Twitter. Remember to let Surrey residents be your eyes and ears for reporting, response and recovery. Throughout any adverse conditions, you can continue to converse with local people online. \n
And don’t forget to use social media like people do. People are already assessing information differently based on the social media clout of accounts and whether or not there’s a picture. Use the information that people share with photos on the move and let on the ground practitioners use social media in the same way. \n
The new model of crisis communication uses the power of networks and communications throughout the crisis stages - preparation, response and recovery. \n
