This document discusses strategies for electronic writing in the classroom. It describes how Google Sites can be used for student ePortfolios to showcase writing projects and reflections. Students in WRIT 100 and 101 create ePortfolios linking course outcomes to artifacts, while WRIT 102 students discuss a significant learning experience. Benefits of ePortfolios include teaching reflection, signaling a commitment to student-centered learning, and offering flexibility in assessment. The document also explores using Wikipedia for writing assignments, with students evaluating course content on Wikipedia and proposing edits after learning editing skills. Challenges of this approach include risk, trolls, and pressure for accuracy. Resources for both Google Sites ePortfolios and Wikipedia assignments are provided.

Nurturing curiosity and inquiry within the curriculum through the use of tech...RichardM_Walker
How may we engage students in inquiry-led and problem-based learning through the use of technology? In this presentation we will consider how active learning principles can be applied to the design of blended learning courses, with digital tools employed to support active learning opportunities for our students. Through a presentation of case examples from the University of York (United Kingdom), we will consider how blended activities can encourage participants to engage in creative learning and problem-solving. An engagement model for active learning, derived from the case examples, is presented as a stimulus for a broader discussion on effective design approaches to support student-led inquiry and problem-solving activities.

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.

Writing Process: Students will demonstrate writing as a process that requires
brainstorming, drafting, revising, editing, and proofreading.
Exploration and Argument: Students will use writing to respond to readings,
explore unfamiliar ideas, question thinking different from their own,
reflect on personal experiences, and develop sound arguments.
Purposes and Audience: Students will produce writing suitable for a variety
of purposes, with an emphasis on academic purposes.
Research: Students will integrate primary sources with their own ideas
through summary, paraphrase, and quotation, and document those sources
properly.
Conventions and Mechanics: Students will produce writing that is free of
serious grammatical and mechanical errors.

8. Benefits: Google Sites for
ePortfolios
ePortfolios are a process, not a
particular technology or platform.
For example, during the fall 2010 pilots, too often we tended to focus on the
strengths and weaknesses of the Chalk & Wire platform and associate those
observations with “ePortfolio” generally. Though Chalk & Wire will not be our
permanent ePortfolio tool, by wrestling with it and the issues it presents
(e.g., student access to the Internet in the classroom, the method of
classroom assignments for the CWR, the challenges of single sign on,
Blackboard integration, classroom population, use of an appropriate rubrics,
accommodation of multimodal assignments), we have grown as a program.
These are not issues that the Freshman Writing Program was engaging in
2009. By engaging these issues, we are making lasting changes toward a new
paradigm for teaching writing which will improve our students’ writing
abilities and expand their literacy.
9. Benefits: Google Sites for
ePortfolios
Teaching with ePortfolios signals a
program commitment to teaching
reflection as an enduring academic
value.
Reflection, or the ability to independently assess one’s status in
relationship to a learning experience, is bound up with the act of writing.
Furthermore, the ability to self-reflect is an increasingly essential skill as
the process of higher education becomes more and more heterogeneous
and fragmented, with more interdisciplnarity, multiple institutions, and
multiple teaching and learning settings. Teaching reflection as a program
value will not be easy, as most of our students have not experienced it as
an education goal. We will have to grow in terms of recognizing what
constitutes authentic and valuable assessment; ePortfolios implicitly
challenge us to examine some of our more negative assumptions about
whether or not students learn at all in our classrooms.

11. Benefits: Google Sites for
ePortfolios
ePortfolios signal a power shift
toward student-centered learning.
Though “student-centered learning” has become a
cliché such over-generalizations draw their power from
an understanding that our students need to be more
involved in deciding what is studied, how it is studied,
and what learning is significant in relationship to class
goals. This does not mean that we are surrendering our
role as teachers. Rather, it acknowledges that students
experience more meaningful learning and are more apt
to keep and apply what they learn when they are
invited to help select, in a dialogue with their teachers,
what activities they will engage in to improve their
understanding of course content.
12. Benefits: Google Sites for
ePortfolios
ePortfolios offer flexibility in
deciding what counts as proof of
learning.
We would miss a valuable opportunity if we incorporated ePortfolios
into the program and then asked students to write a blue book final
exam in proctored classrooms for summative assessment. Instead, we
should explore the freedom that ePortfolios allow us in terms of
creating writing assignments to fulfill our course outcomes. For
example: ePortfolios allow us to assign, integrate, and assess shorter
pieces of writing as opposed to the traditional academic essay; for
example, what would a writing assignment of tweets, over a longer
period of time, on a substantial question, look like in a composition
classroom? These types of literacies are relevant to the world where
our students will apply their writing skills from our classrooms, and
employing ePortfolios for assessment allows students to assemble
writing of differing lengths, formats, and purposes as evidence of
advancement toward course goals.
13. Google Sites for ePortfolios
• Adoption of technology, and/or Google Sites
• Teaching students how to use reflection
properly in the academic context – no
“schmooze” or “puffery”
• Making space for ePortfolios within your
existing curriculum
• Moving away from testing on specific content
to assessing outcomes with reflection
• Reading and grading ePortfolios

15. Writing with Wikipedia
• How one can use Wikipedia in the classroom?
Basic Model:
1. Students master some aspect of your course content
2. Students learn the basics of Wikipedia
3. Students evaluate the presence of your course content
on Wikipedia
4. Students dialogue with Wikipedia editing community and
propose edits to that course content
5. Students make edits
6. Students reflect on how this helped to master course
outcomes

17. Benefits: Teaching with
Wikipedia
• Students write for a “real world” audience
• Students transition from information
consumers to information producers
• Shifts your teaching role from “sage on the
stage” to “guide by the side”
18. Challenges: Teaching with
Wikipedia
• High risk, high reward strategy
• Some trolls in Wikipedia editing community
• Some students find it to be too much pressure
to write accurately about course content
• More chaos in the classroom
