Learning Through Play, The Old School WayLucinda Rush
Poster presentation at the Virginia Library Association Conference on October 23, 2014. This poster introduces new ideas for instructional design using game structures that students are already familiar with to teach information literacy concepts. It is well documented that millennials enjoy learning through collaboration with peers and self-exploration in a fast-paced, technology rich environment, and game-based instruction can be a great way to engage them in the classroom. While millennials are comfortable with technology and enjoy learning through video and web-based games, it is difficult for libraries with limited resources to compete with the expectations that students have based on their lifelong experiences with high-tech video games. Examples of non-technology based games that have been effective with undergraduates are provided. Specifically, a case study that the presenter conducted, of creating an innovative Candy Land based game to teach information ethics will is described. Student responses and assessment of student learning is shared.

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.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

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.

(pp. 116 – 130)
North Carolina Foundations Task Force. (2013). North Carolina
foundations for early learning and development. Raleigh: Author.
2. Cognitive Development Subdomains
• Construction of Knowledge: Thinking and Reasoning
• Creative Expression
• Social Connections
• Mathematical Thinking and Expression
• Scientific Exploration and Knowledge
• In addition to the Cognitive Development overview, the first 2
subdomains will be explored in this PPT.
3. Cognitive Development Overview
• Cognitive development involves a child’s “ability to acquire, organize,
and use information in increasingly complex ways”.
• The focus is on the numerous ways in which children learn about,
remember, and use information, concepts and knowledge about the
world.
• The use of prior knowledge, assimilation, and accommodation allows
children to become more sophisticated in what they know and are
able to understand.
• Cognitive development is interrelated with other developmental
domains
4. Cognitive Development Overview (2)
• Positive and secure relationships maximize cognitive development
• Increased awareness of self, family, and community
• Awareness of impact their actions have on others and their environment
• Become knowledgeable about things they may not see
• Become part of their culture and related beliefs, values, and ideas
• Cognitive development and scientific concepts can be enhanced
through wonder, confidence, motivation, exploration, and
questioning (Katz, 2013)
• Cognitive development allows for problem solving, creativity, and
academic thinking
5. Cognitive Development Overview (3)
• Cognitive development is dependent on multiple influences
• Home environments
• Secure relationships
• Experiences available and provided
• Individual differences
• Developmental abilities and/or delays
• Dual language learners
• Maximizing cognitive development is influenced through
• Interesting materials and experiences
• Opportunities and encouragement to explore and use materials in new and
interesting ways
6. Construction of Knowledge:
Thinking and Reasoning
• There are 3 goals within this subdomain:
• CD-1: Children use their senses to construct knowledge about the
world around them
• CD-2: Children recall information and use it for new situations and
problems
• CD-3: Children demonstrate the ability to think about their own
thinking: reasoning, taking perspectives, and making decisions.
7. Construction of Knowledge:
Thinking and Reasoning (2)
• Note the progressive developmental indicators for each goal on pp.
121 – 123
• As with ECERS (Early Childhood Environment Rating Scale) the
developmental indicators provide specific observable examples of
what each indicator might look like
• Children who are confined to bouncy chairs, walkers, baby beds, and
play pens are not free to explore
• Adults are responsible for providing safe environments in which
children can explore freely
8. Construction of Knowledge:
Thinking and Reasoning (3)
• The following is a fun example of a younger preschooler showing her
ability to “apply what they know about everyday experiences to new
situations”. CD-2p
• “Stuffed giraffe teaches 3-year-old the meaning of “happy tears”
• If the link does not work, copy and paste the following URL into your
browser: http://www.cbsnews.com/news/stuffed-giraffe-teaches-3-
year-old-the-meaning-of-happy-tears/
• As children gain the ability to think about their thinking, we use the
term “metacognition”. This is a cognitive skill that emerges in
developmentally typical preschool children.
9. Thinking and Reasoning: Strategies for Infants
• Encourage questioning, model asking questions, and model your
thinking processes aloud
• Provide materials for collecting and sorting. Use pictures to help
children organize classroom toys.
• Provide multi-sensory, self-correcting toys and materials that can be
used in multiple ways. (Remember Maria Montessori?)
10. Thinking and Reasoning: Strategies for
Preschoolers
• Provide safe, quiet spaces for children who may become overly
stimulated.
• For children with sensory processing issues or disorders, introduce
sensory experiences carefully and gradually.
• Help children problem solve rather than solving problems for them.
This applies to both exploring and in social situations.
• Reflect, call attention to, and expand on a child’s play
11. Creative Expression Goals
• CD-4: Children demonstrate appreciation for different forms of artistic
expression.
• CD-5: Children demonstrate self-expression and creativity in a variety
of forms and contexts, including play, visual arts, music, drama, and
dance.
12. Creative Expression: Strategies for Infants and
Toddlers
• Place interesting laminated pictures and photographs at eye level of
children
• Allow infants and toddlers to feel and explore interesting multi-
sensory materials.
• Adapt materials as needed for younger children and children with
developmental delays
• Provide variety of materials and toys that can be explored in multiple
ways, create scenes, and expand activities
• Use creative materials indoors and outdoors
13. Creative Expression: Strategies for
Preschoolers
• Provide variety of materials and experiences that allow for
exploration .
• Change out materials periodically and provide new with the familiar
• Allow children to use materials throughout the room rather than
enforce confining materials to one area (Example: take large paper
and markers to dramatic play area to create signs for upcoming
production)
• Provide extensive experiences through field trips to plays,
productions, museums and other activities.
• Encourage creative expression both indoors and outdoors
