The unit plan focused on graphing and implemented various technologies throughout the lessons, including podcasts to introduce topics, YouTube videos to explain graph types, and social media accounts for students to discuss assignments. Students conducted surveys, used digital tools to create graphs from images, and were challenged to build robots related to graphs. By incorporating these technologies, the lessons allowed students more ways to engage with and understand the topics.
Using Technology in the Geography ClassroomEduwebinar
eduwebinar.com.au | Technology and Geography go hand in hand: with a great range of apps available, Jessica has worked with students from Years 7 -10 integrating the use of technology into the Geography curriculum. This webinar presentation explored some key applications for use in the Geography classroom and how they can be applied for greater student engagement in learning. Applicants will be able to see examples of how apps are used and adapt activities to their chosen year level.

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.
1. Abstract
Throughout the journey of creating my unit plan, I could see the positive
evolution of my unit growing once I implemented technology. My unit plan theme
was graphing. Therefore, I focused on implementing podcasts at the beginning of
some of the lessons to keep students up to date on the lessons. Then videos from
YouTube were utilized to help introduce the types of graphs to the students. Then,
class Facebook, Twitter, and Wikispace accounts were created to help keep
everyone up to date on the assignments and give students an opportunity to post
any ideas or questions they had. Storytelling was integrated into the lesson by
allowing students to document their findings of a survey they had created. Students
were able to use the snipping tool and digital imaging to create a circle graph from
an image of something they enjoyed or liked. At the end, students were challenged
to create a robot that either reflected the characteristics of a graph or told a story
that was focused on graphs. By implementing the technology, students will be able
to express themselves more through the lesson which will make it more meaningful.
