Webinar: Making the Case for Early STEM Learning- 2016-11-02TechSoup
Explore how to make a stronger case for early STEM experiences. A FrameWorks research into American public thinking revealed that people assume that science, technology, engineering, and math are highly specialized areas of knowledge that aren’t appropriate for young learners. In turn, this limits public support for the policies, funding, and programs that can foster early learning in these vital areas. We'll discuss and explore proven, practical ways for early childhood advocates to talk about why and how early STEM matters.

Explain Your ideal STEM classroom
My ideal STEM classroom will be based on a universal Pre K class at three to four-year-old children. They will be showing a hands-on experience by doing the creative curriculum. This innovative curriculum identifies goals in all areas of development, such as social, emotional, cognitive, and physical. Children learn by touching, tasting, listening, smelling, and looking.
Science STEM activity :
Supplies used: Rocks, plastic pond animals or bath toys, craft foam, and water.
We will fill a sand table or a large container with water. Gather plastic animals or bath toys that you might find in a pond. I found a few large rocks from the yard and cut Lily pads out of green craft foam, and then I would have the children arrange the items in the pond or set it up beforehand as a surprise. The lily pads made from craft foam float, so it is fun to put frogs or other animals on top of them. They will spend hours doing this, keeping children using their hands and fingers skills.
Technology STEM activity :
Supplies used: Camera, iPad, art supplies, tablets.
We will do a photo scavenger hunt. This activity is excellent to do indoors and outdoors. Outdoors has more benefits because you have more space to hide things, but if the weather does not allow the children to do it outside, they can still do it inside. For the scavenger hunt activity, I will ask the children to find school art supplies, and once they see the item, they can snap a picture from their pads, tablets, phone camera or any other camera. The child with the most articles and photos gets the technology award of the week.
Engineering STEM activity:
Supplies used: Color confetti, empty bathroom tissue roll, glue, cardboards, kid-safe scissors, and aluminum foil.
We will be doing a kaleidoscope. Take a bathroom tissue empty roll and put two pieces of round shape cardboard and aluminum foil with slits at the end of the roll. Between the two round shape cardboards put some confetti in between and seal it with glue on the edges. Once it is dry, look through the tube and turn the wheel, and you will see beautiful colors going in different directions.
Math STEM activity:
Supplies used: Timer, legos
They will work in groups, and they will have large lego pieces. They will start building, and I will set a timer. They will be counting the number of legos that they will be using. As they grab each lego, they will score. Whoever gets to 25 first is the winner. The object is to learn how to
count and to build great things.

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 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.
