Digital Portfolios for Elementary ClassroomsTrevor Mattea
My fourth grade students curate selections of their work on digital portfolios created using Google Sites to share them with an authentic audience and reflect on their growth throughout the year. I have also created my own digital portfolio using Weebly to share resources from my classroom and connect with my personal learning network.
These slides introduce the basics for planning and leading the First Year Trip and Second Year Exchange, part of the Bonner Program's four-year developmental cornerstones. These may be great to use with student leaders involved in planning.

New Technology and Structures for Engaging ClassroomsTrevor Mattea
In this workshop, I provide a brief overview of several forms of classroom technology or other useful structures that can be used again and again to maximize student learning and parent involvement. I pull materials from several of my other presentations to highlight everything from class meetings and critique to digital portfolios and Google Drive. I ask participants to take a one-question survey via Google Forms to determine their priorities and spend the remainder of the time discussing the three most popular items and showing participants how to use them.
Slides presented at the new graduate student orientation on August 23, 2013. Presenters include: Dr. Laura Carlson, Dr. John Lubker, Mimi Beck, Jeremy Castle, and Fr. John Jenkins.

Leveraging Data to Make the Case for Bonner Like Programs.pdfBonner Foundation
This workshop is well-suited for folks who care deeply about institutionalizing community engagement and expanding access to high-impact practices. Come ready to learn about how the Stetson Bonner Program learned from a 2023 Institutional Research & Effectiveness study that the most successful retention and graduation program at Stetson is our Bonner Program – more than any academic program, co-curricular program, athletic program, Greek program, or other explicit retention initiatives. You’ll hear about how we leveraged this information to create more Bonner-like programs. You’ll leave with an understanding of how to analyze your campus' data on first-time-in-college (FTIC) student retention, and how that data can help you advocate for expanding community engagement initiatives as an effective driver of retention.

equipping individuals to be change agents in their communities.
Participants can expect to gain valuable insights, engage in
thought-provoking discussions and be inspired by the stories of

social inequality, injustice, and systemic challenges.
This is What Democracy Looks Like Powerbuilding -- Cali VanCleveBonner Foundation
Community organizing has always played a prominent role in the nonprofit world. But what about long-term, sustainable activism work? Power building is a newer sect of community organizing in which people can organize around a certain issue creating power within targeted communities. The Tennessee Immigrant and Refugee Rights Coalition (TIRRC) and its 501(c)(4) TIRRC Votes has created a movement across the state, and they build power within our immigrant and refugee communities through voter engagement and services such as legal aid, educational resources, etc. It is vital to recognize the diverse forms in which we can organize around election cycles beyond simply registering people to vote. If you're interested in either immigrant and refugee rights, voter engagement, or unconventional means of organizing, this would be the place for you!

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

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.
