The document discusses using online writing tools in education. It describes a study where students wrote summaries either on a blog for a public audience or a private Word document. Blog summaries were more concise with fewer words. Both groups scored similarly on an exam, but blog writers produced shorter, more readable summaries. The document concludes that online writing may improve summarization skills and content retention when students know a real audience will view their work.
The slide set was used to accompany a presentation by Sean Nash, Dr. Jeanette Westfall, and Dr. Jaime Dial for the NCA (North Central Accreditation) Conference in Jefferson City, Missouri.
I will reload the slides in the near future as the conversion from Keynote to .pdf left ugly remnants outside of all frames used to outline images. Also- though Keynote's "smart builds" are stunning when used within keynote itself... they do not convert to .pdf format. This leaves a complex slide with perhaps five images that shuffle back and forth... appearing in this version as one (somewhat lost) image.
Regardless- thanks for watching. Please contact us if you'd like more information on our current plans. Transparency is one of our ideals.

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.

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
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.
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)

This is my class website! I’ve always loved science, but this year was a whole new experience
for me. In our class Mr. Nash gives us multiple ways too look at science. There are so many
new things to learn that it’s truly fun to experience it in different ways. I came into this class
thinking it was going to be him lecturing and us taking notes. This year was the first year for
me that it’s all been so hands on.
This class really makes us think. Mr. Nash will just give us something, for instance a visual, and
ask us to write about it. Like what we think it represents and our thoughts and opinions on it. I
really enjoy doing this. It allows us as students to share what were thinking. That’s one of my
favorite things about the website. We’re able discuss and blog about the things we do in class.
We each get to share as individuals, which is pretty amazing because each one of us think
differently. This also allows us to learn on a completely different level.
I’d have to say that if there is one thing i’ve learned this year would be that science is not black
and white. Thats a big misconception i’ve had. Through the year though i’ve began to learn and
realize that there is always a gray area. The site gives us the opportunity to talk about it and
understand more.

I am a student in the dual-credit biology class that uses the blog you have been discussing. I just
wanted to let you know my thoughts on our use of the network.
I really think it is a beneficial way of learning, and would recommend it to any teacher in order
to get their students to actually think about learning.
I will admit I was one of the students who took the class just to get this major required science
class out of the way before college. However, this coming from a person who really doesn’t
enjoy science at all, I have found that I enjoy this class. I feel like I can analyze what I learn and
discuss things with other students rather than simply fill out a work sheet and answer test
questions.
I honestly think I will retain things from taking this class, and I can say I have benefited a great
deal from it.
I also like the idea that other people, such as yourselves, are actually reading this blog and
looking at what we are learning and how we are learning. It makes me think about what I will
post because I know someone from the other side of the world might read it.

higher readability and word count,
which I kind of expected because I
think people tend to write more
formally on papers, whereas the
blog posts tend to be more opinion
and informal writing.”
