USABILITY OF WEB SITES ADDRESSING TECHNOLOGY BASED CASER (CLASSROOM ASSESSMEN...IJCI JOURNAL
Global advancements, competitions and economic growth have lead to a drastic change in the technological world. The impact of technology both individually as well as collectively changed our life significantly. Nomatter whether it is commercial, transportation, banking, political, or educational field technology has done wonders in all ways. With the leaps and bounds in technological field educationists still make efforts towards new achievement and goals especially in the field of teaching-learning worlds also. If we talk about today’s classroom conditions, we are still lagging behind in many aspects. We are not upto mark or update. So there is a need of adoption and inclusion of ICT and technology resources to be linked to our curriculum system. The role of teacher is quite important in molding shape of our coming generations and modern society. The teacher should make use of innovative devices and strategies while teaching in the classroom situations. The teaching-learning without innovations and technological based devices is meaningless unless we strengthen our whole educational system in terms of technology-based teacher’s professional development through in-service or pre-services trainings, incorporation of latest electronic gadgets and devices in teaching-learning system etc. Thus, this paper focus on the universal design for learning practices for classroom testing and assessment practices, which is designed to minimize errors, adverse consequences, and unintentional actions to assist students in using them safely and efficiently. This paper has directed about the perceptions about the usability of web sites addressing technology which includes the new technologies, approaches, strategies and techniques to be adopted in the classroom for strengthening the potential and competencies of the students. The main objectives of the paper are- (1) To find out the latest techniques, tools and technology based on the classroom assessment and resources. (2) To find out the usability of the websites addressing new technologies and strategies. (3) To make students understand about technological usage for enhancing motivation and feedback thereby reducing errors and mistakes. For this research paper, the researcher consulted various conceptual research frameworks, reviews and trends in studies related to the use of web-sites enhancing technologies, strategies, equipments and resources. The results of the study highlighted major concerns in order to monitor the technology proficiency of the students, one must use multiple methods for presenting the instruction; use multiple assessment formats and tools to support one towards academic progress. Thus, the teachers, educators, stakeholders all have to monitor the technology-based curriculum process supporting assessment and evaluation tools, techniques and resources.
When teachers hear the phrase “paperless classroom“, I get many of the following comments and reactions:
- “I write faster than I type”
- "I love the smell and feel of books"
- "Students need to practice handwriting"
All these are valid arguments that I would like to address in this presentation.
The Physical Education portfolio at ISC has the purpose of recording movement skills developed through the student’s study years at ISC.
This portfolio provides teacher, student and parents information about the movement skills development from Early Childhood Education to High School as means to generate evidence of individual growth and performance.
Portfolios are also powerful assessment and reflection tools.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
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.

17. Collective Vision for Tech Integration
… in which technology becomes invisible- “blended learning”
“Systematically embed the use and study of technology into multiple, varied
and authentic curricular and extra-curricular functions, blurring the line
between academic enterprises and those engaged in outside the schoolhouse.
In this context, identification and integration of ever-changing technology tools
is transcended by an approach that establishes technology as a seamless
medium for student information queries, problem-solving and product
development. Teachers actively and routinely elicit technology applications for
all manner of utilities, exercises and growth experiences. Technology,
regardless of form, is perceived as a process, product, tool and subject of study
inextricably intertwined with all others at the learner’s disposal.”
18. Precautions
“Measures taken in advance to prevent something
dangerous, unpleasant, or inconvenient from happening.”
• Move ahead after conducting a needs assessment – SWOT
• Move after articulating assumptions, convictions and beliefs
• Move ahead after crafting a Tech Strategic Plan
