Reading Online Persuasive Texts to Write Online Persuasive Texts: Secondary and College Students’ Reading Practices in Online Role-play Activities
Richard Beach, University of Minnesota
Paper presented at the National Reading Conference, 2009
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.
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.

Look at the first
Juliet. How would you teach this given everything we
know now about strategies, text structures, children's
interests, and the fact that a whole lot of kids are in the
room? Now imagine how an actor would approach this
text—say, a single actor on stage who has to make these
lines meaningful? And then imagine what the director
would do to make the meaning come to life. That's the
difference in teaching the text... and it's quite a leap in
pedagogical skill, dependent in large part on the
teacher's ability to form an ensemble of readers
(community of readers or the reading club as F. Smith
described it)…The point about complexity isn't just the
text—it's in the experience of and motivation to read the
text. We're approaching the text in the way that actors
in the Royal Shakespeare Company learn language and

Students posed questions for each
other
◦ “What does that mean, virtually free?”
◦ What are some things that use energy or
power?”
31. Dialogic interactions through
annotations
“There is a bad and good thing about
this. Bad is it kills birds passing by.
Good it makes energy cleaner.”
“Tarnished with wind turbines? Aren't
wind turbines supposed to be a good
thing? Why are they complaining
about the turbines? it doesn't even
look bad.”
32. Use of annotations for summary
writing
I am perplexed in choosing if wind energy
is a good courses or bad source. While,
wind energy is a good source because
it’s renewable and needs nothing more
but construction, it can also cause
irritation and attention of some people.
Wind turbines are loud, noisy, and risky.
Even though, it doesn’t cause any
greenhouse gases in the air, wind
turbines are harmful to wildlife and
space. More birds die by getting hit by
wind turbines which is very dangerous to
our wildlife.
