Fostering Creative and Critical Thinking using iPads in Primary MathematicsJoanne Villis
Apps to support creative and critical thinking in mathematics. This slide share offers ideas for fostering inquiry, generating ideas, reflecting and analysing. Explicit teaching of higher order thinking skills is required for our students and there are iPad apps to help support this process. This is my presentation for the SchoolstechOZ 2014 Conference http://www.iwb.net.au/schoolstechoz.htm
This is a presentation which I delivered at the Oz Tech 2014 Conference in Melbourne. It includes teaching ideas for the Australian Technologies Curriculum. My teaching ideas are based on the Maker Movement ( getting kids to tinker, engage in hands- on learning experiences). This presentation was followed with a second hands on workshop called coding for teachers and kids.

Teaching computational thinking to primary pupilsJames Abela
For once Google, Microsoft and Will.i.am agree, teaching Computing is important and it is important that children learn to think computationally from an early age. James Abela will take you through a hierarchy of visual tools that enable students to think computationally, code and solve problems in a logical way. This practical session will show you the free tools, lesson plans and support available for delivering a first class computing curriculum.

This project was developed at Macquarie ICT Innovations Centre (MacICT).
MacICT is located at Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia. It is a collaborative agreement between the NSW Department of Education and Training (DET) and Macquarie University, which provides the opportunity for NSW DET schools access to the use of innovative technologies in teaching and learning.
MacICT’s mission statement:
to develop, implement, and evaluate innovative ways of enhancing learning through the application of dynamic and emerging information and communication technologies.
This projects investigates local ecosystems to identify factors affecting survival of organisms in an ecosystem. Once a shared environemnment is selected, our project teams will work together to collect the relevant data and begin monitoring their ecosystem as a joint collaborative community project
Assessing ICT learning is something many teachers experience difficulty with. This session reviews the range of strategies appropriate to assessing ICT: we look at assessment for learning in ICT, the National Curriculum attainment target and APP. We also consider how ICT may be used to support assessment across the curriculum. You assess an example of a pupil’s ICT work and draft some feedback.
The lecture concludes with a briefing on the assessment task and you have the opportunity to discuss your lesson plan and the rest of your web site with your tutor.
Description: IQAIST: Improving Quality and Accessibility in In-Service Trainings for Teachers
Project number: 2014–1–IT02–KA201–004226
In Service Training for Teachers: project funded with support from the European Commission through Erasmus+ Program
Erasmus+ Key Action 2:
This project is a Strategic Partnership in the field of school education. The new Erasmus+ programme aims to support actions in the fields of Education, Training, Youth and Sport for the period 2014- 2020. The Key Action 2 supports the development, transfer and/or implementation of innovative practise at organisational, local, regional, national or European levels.
In partnership with the Macquarie ICT Innovation Centre, three Year 3 teachers and one Year 10 teacher will develop and design a transmedia story with their students to share with the other project classes to investigate the question: In what ways might transmedia storytelling allow teachers to re-imagine how they currently engage their class in an immersive literacy environment through the process of collaborative design?
The project will examine the potential value of transmedia storytelling for literacy development by investigating the worth of the ‘Weaving a StoryWorld Web’ framework, a teaching and learning model developed by MacICT’s research advisor to support the design, development and creation of transmedia storyworld. The project will particularly focus on the professional learning of the teachers, examining if transmedia story telling is an engaging and effective way to meet the ICT elements in the Australian Curriculum: English.

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.

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.
