Showing How Awesome You Are! School And Leadership BrandingSteven Anderson
The digital age is making it easier for parents and the community to learn what happens inside the school building. Using social media, schools and districts can more deeply engage with those stakeholders, providing a more unified foundation for better relationships. It also makes it easier for professionals to tell their stories and take control of the message they want all to know about the great things happening in schools and districts. Steven W. Anderson, author of the book The Relevant Educator and The Tech-Savvy Administrator, will examine the current social media landscape and describe personal and school branding. He will also show how to accomplish it easily and simply with little or no funds but having maximum impact.

Not Your Mamma’s Admissions: Creating a Better Experience for Applicants and ...TargetX
Most institutions today are experiencing unprecedented growth in applications for admission. With a larger population seeking higher education, relatively “easy” ways to apply to multiple schools, and increased stress of finding the “right” college, it’s no wonder admission offices have more applications to process and review each year. But the days of clumsy, desktop-dependent applications that require significant integration to a CRM are over. Reading and reviewing applications and making admissions decisions can now be as seamless as ever. This workshop will discuss the pitfalls of today’s admissions applications and processes. You’ll learn how to utilize the power of the Salesforce Community to provide a better experience—both for your applicants and your staff. This is a hands-on experience, so bring your laptop and smartphone to participate. Time to roll back the clock to your days as a 17 year-old applying to college. And even if you’ve never worked a day in an admissions office, you’ll be the one deciding who gets in, who gets “wait-listed,” and who is denied.
Why doesn't anyone answer the phone anymore? Did you know that telephone culture is slowly disappearing despite a steep increase in smartphone users around the world?

Hiring managers and recruiters say they’re seeing an odd trend: younger job candidates getting their parents involved in the hiring process. “In my years of human resource roles I've personally experienced a lot of absurd and ridiculous behavior from job seekers,” says Christine DiDonato, founder of Career Revolution. “However, the one that really blows my mind is one committed by some of our recent college graduates: Bringing their parents to the interview or having a parent call the hiring manager or recruiter and attempt to negotiate their employment offer.” This doesn’t help you build a personal brand, and it certainly doesn’t make you look independent and capable, DiDonato says.

Focusing on technology and social media, IAO’s Accreditor magazine 2019 offers analysis, reviews, trends and in-depth exclusive interviews on how social media is shaping today’s world of education.
One year ago I posted, "10 Social Media Best Practices in Higher Education" which has proven to be one of my most popular posts. This is not surprising, as many of my campus speaking engagements include covering such topics.
This top 10 list includes:
Implement a Social Media Strategy
Produce Quality & Accurate Content
Manage Platforms with Social Media Managers and Student Leaders
Use an Authentic and Transparent Voice
Represent the University/Division/Department Brand and University Resources
Collaborate and Support other University Social Media Pages
Respect Your Community
Dive into Data
Empower Influencers and Engage Audience
Get Internal Buy-In
Social media exists in the gray, so even these best practices could be scrutinized. Whatever your perspective, higher education needs more tools to aid in strategy development, especially since social media platforms change constantly.
Creating Personas – A guide, not a templateBen Ralph
The first thing a good UX Designer should tell you about creating a persona is that if you just blindly follow a template, you have missed the point. User research should inform the layout — don’t let the layout constrain the research.
Put simply, don’t just follow a template.
Sadly, this advice is not very helpful when you are starting out, staring at a blank sheet of paper trying to create a set of personas.

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.
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.

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.

5. Help our students by delivering a quality education
Mentoring and supervising
Unique real-world learning experiences – clinical placements
Simulations
Hands-on learning in-class

7. The big 5 – Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, WhatsApp, Twitter
Instagram is the platform of choice for current and future students
Photo driven, highlight reels, heavily curated moments
Facebook is seen as a utility – somewhere young people have to be but don’t enjoy
being.

8. Four ways to use social media to help students:
Use your social media accounts to recognize students when they win awards,
volunteer, go above and beyond
People are on social media looking for validation and an audience.
Social media posts are the new reference letters.
Saves students from having to humble brag about themselves.
Students will share your posts within their networks – family and friends.

13. Be the trusted and respected go-to online source for your students on:
• Professional development
• Preparing for careers in allied health
• What does it take to excel as a student and as a new allied health professional
• How should students ace their clinical placements
• Share best practices, practical advice, trends and big ideas
• Draw on your own experiences
• Create original content and share material that others have produced – flag news
stories, articles from journals and newsletters for allied health professionals
• Be relevant, responsive and practical
• Separate signal from noise
13
14. Remind your students that everything they post, share, like and comment on can and
will be used against them
We are what we tweet
Employers are checking social media activity to screen candidates
Not only what’s being posted but how often
Active social media accounts may help if students intend to work in marketing,
advertising, PR – not so much if they’re pursuing a career in healthcare
Be a role model on how to use social media responsibly
14
15. Social media is the new smoking
Help students ween themselves before they go into the workforce
Initiate conversations about the impact of social media on our physical and mental
health and wellbeing
Fear of Missing Out
Fear of Being Left Out
15
16. Lots of evidence that social media is addictive
Is this time well spent? What else could students be doing with their time?
Companies engineer social media platforms to keep us coming back, spending 3+
hours a day
If we’re not paying for a service – we’re the product. Selling our time and data to
advertisers.
Constantly seeking validation – smartphones are like slot machines in our pocket
delivering constant dopamine hits

18. Companies are being proactive – getting ahead of what’s looming on the horizon
Instagram doing away with likes – eliminating feedback loops and online popularity
