Mdm Cheng Hwai Jen, a physics and mathematics teacher, has incorporated iPads and other technology into her lessons to make learning more engaging for students. As an ICT mentor, she trains other teachers on using tools like blogs and online resources. She helped two younger teachers integrate blogs into their lessons. Mrs. Rosvinder Sidhu, an English teacher, uses iPads and videos to teach math concepts to primary students of different abilities. As an ICT mentor, she trains colleagues and helps develop their technology skills through mentoring. Both teachers believe technology can improve learning outcomes for students.

Learners and Learning: Section Three: School learningSaide OER Africa
In Section Three we will build on these ideas with special reference to schooling. In particular, we want to focus on the following question: "Should the kind of teaching and learning that occurs in schools be more like the learning that occurs in everyday life?" How is school learning different from everyday learning, and how can teachers implement good school learning in their classrooms?

http://www.ccsprojects.com/ - CCS Presentation Systems partner Adaptive Curriculum was brought into Besteiro Middle School in Brownsville, TX where 75% of the students were at-risk. The Principal implemented the program with the students before the teachers and the students loved it and were able to understand concepts using the program that they could not understand through their teacher. The students were motivated to “teach” their teachers how to use the program, which in-turn motivated the teachers in seeing how enthusiastic the students were.

Journeys to outstanding opening session march 6thWholeeducation
This session began with an input from Baroness Estelle Morris who presented a recipe for schools to achieve long term success. She reflected on how success can be realised through focusing on learning, meeting the needs of students and making the most of teachers through informed professionalism, engaging with pedagogy and effective collaboration.
The session progressed to interviews, firstly with Primary School Head Carl Jarvis who took his school from Special Measures to Outstanding in two years with the same staff and the same students through a radical approach to learning that really engaged his students. We explored with Carl what gave him the courage and determination to embark on this extraordinary journey. The second interview took place with Deputy Head Chris Holmwood - who leads his teaching school alliance - and two of his students. In this case study the school was already Outstanding but had a grade 2 for teaching and learning. Instead of just chasing the Ofsted criteria they decided to “lift the lid” and do something quite different. Again the interview explored what they did, why they did it and what made it successful in both conventional and other ways. In the final part of the interview we explored and reflected on the lessons learnt from from their experiences, and how we can each have the confidence to pursue a similar approach, leading to long term sustainable success. Wendy Berliner of the Guardian also joined us and reflected on what she has heard.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
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.
