This is a Powerpoint presentation that explains the history of segregation in the US. It is an important tool as it illustrates the background of racial tension that can exist today and open dialogue to create change and more progressive attitudes towards race. It helps promote diversity as the injustices of segregation call us all to look at our own biases. It also bolsters diversity, as Powerpoint accommodates many types of learners, both audio and visual. Powerpoint is an important technological tool to use in a class room, providing audio and visual help to students. This presentation illustrates my understanding of the program. I have uploaded this Powerpoint to a shared slide site, which further shows my comfort with the Internet in this age of technology.
In this powerpoint you will find a lesson on the 35th President of the United States. You will find the discussion on the Bay of Pigs and the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Benjamin R. Barber is the Gershon and Carrol Kekst Professor of Civil
Society at the University of Maryland. He has written numerous schol
arly and popular books which consistently explore the issues ofpolitics,
education, democracy, community, and citizenship. He regularly con
tributes to the Atlantic Monthly, the New York Times, and Harper s,
where the following argument appeared in 1993. An educational and
political progressive, in the traditional sense of the term, Barber’s main
concern is with .sustaining a healthy democracy. His best known hook is
An Aristocracy of Even'one, in which he argues for fundamental changes
in the ways Americans view the role of education in sustaining political
and social life.

On September 8, the day most of the nation’s children were scheduled
to return to school, the Department of Education Statistics issued a re
port, commissioned hy Congress, on adult literacy and numeracy in
the United States. The results? More than 90 million adult Americans
lacked simple literacy. Fewer than 20 percent of those surveyed cordd
compare two metaphors in a poem; not 4 percent could calculate the
cost of carpeting at a given price for a room of a given size, using a cal
culator. As the DOE report was being issued, as if to echo its findings,
two of the nation’s largest school systems had delayed their openings;
in New York, to remove asbestos from aging buildings; in Chicago, be
cause of a battle over the budget.
Inspired by the report and the delays, pundits once again began
chanting the familiar litany of the education crisis. We’ve heard it all
many times before: 130,000 children bring guns along with their pen
cils and books to school each morning; juvenile arrests for murder in
creased by 85 percent from 1987 to 1991; more than 3,000 youngsters
will drop out today and every day for the rest of the school year, until
about 600.000 are lost by June—in many urban schools, perhaps half
the enrollment. A lot of the dropouts will end up in prison, which is a
surer bet for young black males tlian college; one in four will pass
through the correctional system, and at least two out of three of those
wall be dropouts.

In quiet counterpoint to those staggering facts is another set of
statistics: teachers make less than accountants, architects, doctors,
lawyers, engineers, judges, health professionals, auditors, and survev-
ors. They can cam higher salaries teaching in Berlin, Tokyo. Ottawa,
or Amsterdam than in New York or Chicago. American children are in
school only about 180 days a year, as against 240 days or more for
children in Europe or Japan. The richest school districts (school fi
nancing is local, not federal) spend twice as much per student as
poorer ones do. The poorer ones seem almost beyond help; children

Universities as Communities of Young Scholars and Inquirersnoblex1
In the 1970's and 1980's, students, even incoming first-year students, were considered moral arbiters at universities: they sat on the most sensitive committees (regulations, by the way, that I doubt anyone bothered to change formally to reflect the new infantilization of students); they destroyed most of the in loco parentis functions of the university; they freed women from paternalistic special protections, and, to put it in its mildest terms, they lectured a faculty intimidated by them, and, above all, an administration intimidated by them, on what it was to be human, to be progressive, and to be useful to society.
Generally unopposed by administrations uncertain of their own moral and actual authority, students swept away the specific restraints placed upon their voluntary behaviors and made the in loco parentis role of universities seem like some embarrassing vestige of the 19th century.
Rather than arguing for their political beliefs in voluntary, open, unprivileged forums, "teach-ins" and lectures such as those held on the Vietnam War then, the heirs of the sixties, now in power, have institutionalized their views in the in loco parentis role of universities, and they have made their ideological analysis of American society, gender, and oppression the official secular religion of academic life.
Most undergraduates, in this view, enter universities inadequately aware of the effects of American "racism, sexism and heterosexism" on their psyches, their behavior, and the society and its "victims" around them, a set of phenomena that those morally superior and no doubt deeply insightful adults who report to various Deans or Vice-Provosts for Student Life must define and explain to them.
The phenomenon known by Marxists as "false consciousness" (what could workers know, compared to intellectuals and ideologues, about what workers objectively should want?), and the Leninists used the concept to justify the dictatorship of the Bolshevik party - since the workers, of course, inconveniently did not agree with the Bolsheviks about their real interests - over a working class that was deemed not only a victim of capitalism but of its own false consciousness.
As the doctrine now is taught to "facilitators" for variously named programs of "diversity and multicultural education" at hundreds of colleges and universities (for the generation of the Sixties certainly learned how to network), "false consciousness" is labelled "internalized oppression" - most easily identified by the tendency to reject the Administration's view of reality - and "internalized oppression" is judged to be a particularly insidious means and product of American oppression.
While countless courses in the official curriculum undertake to enlighten students about the unjust ways of their society and the official, politically orthodox views they ought to hold, this is not enough.

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.
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
