DQ 1
Guided Response:
Review your classmates’ posts, and respond to at least two of your peers with an analysis of how they have considered incorporating the iPad into a lesson plan. Are there additional iPad applications that you would recommend to your classmates?
The following apps are used with students' with high incident disability such as autism, cerebral palsy, and down syndrome. The IPad Book Creator gives kids the opportunity to flex their creative muscles, author their own stories and export their masterpieces directly to iBooks. The very intuitive interface makes it easy for kids of all ages and stages of development to follow along and it provides a sense of autonomy for building any kind of book imaginable. iComm may be for you. iComm lets you load picture and audio and record your own voices. Ideal for children with autism, cerebral palsy, apraxia and down syndrome. Preference and reinforcement assessment touch designed for students' with autism. This app is geared more towards professionals and parents running a preference assessment, but can greatly impact the course of treatment for the child. The app features different assessments, assessment tools and also automatically calculates the results of the testing itself to give the caregiver the information needed to determine the best course of action. Mautone claims, it is “the best app to assess potential reinforcers and is very easy-to-use.” The apps that are used with the IPad are great to use in the classroom because it gives a voice to students' that have trouble with communication. By allowing students' with autism and other high incident disabilities to use the IPad and specific apps they now have the opportunity to learn new concepts and communicate their feelings and level of understanding. I would incorporate such apps into my lesson by including the app as a part of the lesson. During the lesson I would express concepts that may be used in collaboration with the app that the impaired student is using. It is important that the impaired student be included from the beginning to the end of the lesson and the IPad apps allow for this to occur.
Autism and Learning
One app designed to work on an IPad for children with Autism is called Rufus Robot. “Rufus Robot is a research based app” (Gastgeb, 2014, para. 4). It is a highly effective app that offers students with autism or other learning disability the ability to express feelings and emotions as well as play learning games. The app actually teaches students about “facial expressions and emtions” (Gastgeb, 2014, para. 6). It also teaches numbers and counting, groups and categories and can be downloaded for almost any IPad device.
Another great app for IPads that helps students with autism is Autistic language learning (ALL) is another tool that was developed by a speech/language pathologist and it “helps to keep kids engaged while improving their verbal language and under.

Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
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.

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.
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.

Guided Response:
Review your classmates’ posts, and respond to at least two of
your peers with an analysis of how they have considered
incorporating the iPad into a lesson plan. Are there additional
iPad applications that you would recommend to your
classmates?
The following apps are used with students' with high incident
disability such as autism, cerebral palsy, and down syndrome.
The IPad Book Creator gives kids the opportunity to flex their
creative muscles, author their own stories and export their
masterpieces directly to iBooks. The very intuitive interface
makes it easy for kids of all ages and stages of development to
follow along and it provides a sense of autonomy for building
any kind of book imaginable. iComm may be for you. iComm
lets you load picture and audio and record your own voices.
Ideal for children with autism, cerebral palsy, apraxia and down
syndrome. Preference and reinforcement assessment touch
designed for students' with autism. This app is geared more
towards professionals and parents running a preference
assessment, but can greatly impact the course of treatment for
the child. The app features different assessments, assessment
tools and also automatically calculates the results of the testing
itself to give the caregiver the information needed to determine
2. the best course of action. Mautone claims, it is “the best app to
assess potential reinforcers and is very easy-to-use.” The apps
that are used with the IPad are great to use in the classroom
because it gives a voice to students' that have trouble with
communication. By allowing students' with autism and other
high incident disabilities to use the IPad and specific apps they
now have the opportunity to learn new concepts and
communicate their feelings and level of understanding. I would
incorporate such apps into my lesson by including the app as a
part of the lesson. During the lesson I would express concepts
that may be used in collaboration with the app that the impaired
student is using. It is important that the impaired student be
included from the beginning to the end of the lesson and the
IPad apps allow for this to occur.
Autism and Learning
One app designed to work on an IPad for children with Autism
is called Rufus Robot. “Rufus Robot is a research based app”
(Gastgeb, 2014, para. 4). It is a highly effective app that offers
students with autism or other learning disability the ability to
express feelings and emotions as well as play learning games.
The app actually teaches students about “facial expressions and
emtions” (Gastgeb, 2014, para. 6). It also teaches numbers and
counting, groups and categories and can be downloaded for
almost any IPad device.
Another great app for IPads that helps students with autism is
Autistic language learning (ALL) is another tool that was
developed by a speech/language pathologist and it “helps to
keep kids engaged while improving their verbal language and
understanding” (Autistic Langage learning, nd, para. 1). This
series of applications is also widely used by students with Down
syndrome with much success. The software focuses on actions
3. and yes/no questions with much success.
Finally, a third useful app for the IPad is called “Buzoo” and it
is touch-free, with simple intuitive hand-gestures that allows
the child to collect zoo characters. It is a great physical
learning opportunity. The objective is to “help each animal
board the bus, learn to recognize each one, how to spell its
name, interact with each animal, listen to each animal's story,
and more! All, without the need to hold, touch, or fine-point”
*(Autism Speaks Inc., 2015, para. 4).
Describe an example of how you might incorporate a tool like
the iPad into a lesson plan for a class to include students with a
high incident disability.
I would know what each of the apps could do so I would write
some lesson plans to include the use of the iPad that can be used
by groups of students. I would let them get into groups and
then have them follow along on the iPad.

technology is for the school to be able to provide for each
student that are needed.
D – I can customize the assistive technology to the liking of the
student in which the student is able to use the assistive
5. technological device without any problems and will be able to
learn while using this device.

After reviewing the Assistive Technology: An Overview, I
found that Ms. Adelaide was faced with some difficult
challenges. Ms. Adelaide has received a student with a learning
disability and an IEP that accommodates is disability with the
use of AT. The student is knowledgeable with the AT
equipment but Ms. Adelaide is not. The first place I would seek
to learn more about the AT would be his IEP. Here I could find
what AT is used to aide him and how it is expected to be used in
the class. I then would follow up with an internet source of the
AT equipment being used to define its capabilities and uses. I
would also “
Seek support from knowledgeable individuals (e.g., information
technology specialist, other educators, family members). Use
Websites, blogs, and listservs to find helpful answers to
questions or to find out how others have successfully
implemented AT in the classroom” (n.d. 2014). The first
device I would seek to learn more about to implement in my
classroom would be the already existing technology already
existing in the classroom and school. The reason I would do
this would be that I would already be familiar with the devices
and could further my capabilities by adding downloadable apps
that could assist learning in my class. The schools
responsibility for AT are defined by law. Although it has been
proven that most schools are not implementing the AT devices
stated to be used for students with disabilities and or IEP’s.
This leaves the AT devices misused and misunderstood, causing
the students to still struggle. As a teacher I could help students
fully succeed in their use of assistive technology by continuing
my own education with the different AT devices available for
use. I could request administration for professional
development that would teach and guide teachers on the use of
AT. I would also reach out to other faculty members for
6. collaboration to write grants to receive funds to purchase
additional AT devices. Through these methods I could help
provide AT in the general curriculum.
