The industrial revolution 2
The document discusses the major technological and industrial changes that occurred during the Industrial Revolution in Europe and North America between the late 18th and early 19th centuries. It outlines key inventions in industries like textiles, iron production, transportation, communication, and agriculture that drove industrialization. The Industrial Revolution transformed economies and societies through factory systems, mass production, and the rise of capitalism.
American Revolutionary War
The document summarizes key events of the American Revolutionary War between Britain and the colonies:
1) Growing tensions over new taxes like the Stamp Act and Townshend Acts led to protests like the Boston Tea Party and Intolerable Acts in response.
2) The First Continental Congress united the colonies in opposition to Britain and the Second Continental Congress established the Continental Army under George Washington.
3) A major turning point was the American victory over British forces at the Battle of Saratoga in 1777, which led France to form an alliance with the Americans against Britain.
Montgomery Bus Boycott
The Montgomery Bus Boycott was sparked by Rosa Parks' refusal to give up her seat to a white passenger in 1955. In response, the NAACP and Black churches organized a 381-day boycott of the city's bus system. Led by Martin Luther King Jr., the nonviolent protests succeeded in legally desegregating public transit. The boycott demonstrated the power of grassroots activism and inspired the wider Civil Rights Movement.
(12) the civil rights movement
The document summarizes key events and developments in the Civil Rights movement in the United States, including important Supreme Court cases (Plessy v Ferguson, Brown v Board of Education), civil rights legislation (Civil Rights Acts of 1957 and 1964, Voting Rights Act of 1965), and influential figures and events (Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier in baseball, Rosa Parks and the Montgomery Bus Boycott led by MLK, MLK's "I Have a Dream" speech). Key amendments to the Constitution and executive orders aimed to abolish slavery and provide equal protection under the law.
The Civil War
The Civil War began in 1861 following several decades of increasing tensions between northern and southern states over the issues of states' rights and slavery. Key events and compromises failed to stop the spread of slavery and preserve the Union, culminating in southern states seceding to form the Confederate States of America. The war was fought for control of territories and to determine whether slavery would be permitted to expand. Major battles like Antietam, Gettysburg, and Vicksburg were turning points, and Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation aimed to weaken the South by freeing slaves. Ultimately, the Union prevailed after General Lee surrendered in 1865, but Lincoln was assassinated shortly after.
American Civil Rights Movement
During the American Civil Rights Movement from 1954-1965, African Americans fought for equal rights through various protests and court cases. Key events included the Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court ruling that mandated desegregation of schools, the Montgomery Bus Boycott led by MLK Jr., and the March on Washington where MLK delivered his iconic "I Have a Dream" speech calling for racial equality. This nonviolent protest movement helped spur passage of landmark civil rights legislation like the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965.
Reconstruction (1865-1877)
The Reconstruction of the South summarizes the period after the Civil War when the United States sought to reintegrate the Confederate states and protect the rights of freed slaves. It describes the competing plans of Lincoln, Johnson, and Radical Republicans to rebuild the South. Ultimately, Reconstruction ended in 1877 with the Compromise that withdrew federal troops and oversight from the South.

The klu klux klan

The KKK has existed in three distinct movements throughout U.S. history, all promoting white supremacy and using terrorism and hate to further segregation and oppress racial and religious minorities. Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination in 1968 was allegedly in part due to a bounty placed on his head by the KKK.

The Jackson Era
The political system changed under President Andrew Jackson (1829-1837) as he expanded democracy. Jackson opposed the national bank and vetoed its recharter, believing it helped elites. He also increased direct election of government officials and gave jobs to his supporters, establishing the spoils system. However, these changes increased sectional tensions between North and South over states' rights and the tariff that threatened the Union.
17 1 rebuilding the south
Reconstruction began as the process of readmitting the southern states back into the Union after the Civil War from 1865-1877. The South's cities and factories were ruined after the war, leaving many people jobless and homeless with worthless Confederate money. Lincoln proposed a lenient Reconstruction plan that offered amnesty to Southerners who took an oath of loyalty, but Congress disagreed and proposed a stricter plan. The 13th Amendment outlawed slavery in 1865 but freed slaves were left poor, jobless and uneducated with nowhere to go. The Freedmen's Bureau was established by Congress to provide relief and schools for freed slaves. However, Lincoln was assassinated in 1865 and Vice President Andrew Johnson became President.

The Age of Railroads
The completion of the transcontinental railroad in 1869 connected the eastern and western United States by rail, making transportation of goods and people more reliable and fostering westward expansion. The government supported railroad construction through huge land grants and loans. Thousands of immigrants, including Chinese and Irish workers, built the railroads in dangerous conditions with accidents and diseases. Railroads connected cities and towns, promoting industry, trade, and economic interdependence but also led to corruption like the Credit Mobilier scandal. Farmers organized as Grangers to demand regulation of railroad rates and prices, resulting in early regulatory laws and the Supreme Court upholding state regulation in Munn v. Illinois in 1877. The Interstate Commerce Commission was established in 1887 to regulate railroads
Presentation on the Trail of Tears

It describes how the Indian Removal Act allowed the government to remove Native Americans from the Southeast to lands west of the Mississippi. Specifically, it discusses how the Cherokee refused to leave Georgia, resulting in the Supreme Court ruling in Worcester v. Georgia that Georgia had no right to remove them.

Assessment and Planning in Educational technology.pptx
In an education system, it is understood that assessment is only for the students, but on the other hand, the Assessment of teachers is also an important aspect of the education system that ensures teachers are providing high-quality instruction to students. The assessment process can be used to provide feedback and support for professional development, to inform decisions about teacher retention or promotion, or to evaluate teacher effectiveness for accountability purposes.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
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.
