Microsoft Bring Your Own Device to School - K-12 Briefing Paper - 2013 Update Microsoft Education AU
This white paper by Brice Dixon, Anywhere Anytime Learning Foundation and Sean Tierney, Microsoft Australia Academic Programs manager explores their previously produced document.
Today’s organizations are faced with a number of issues related to an increasingly complex and unpredictable business environment. These issues have implications on training strategies for companies: it has become imperative to make the required kinds of knowledge available to employees, regardless of where they are, as soon as they are required. In a 2.0 learning organization, Web 2.0 tools are incorporated into the training strategy according to three models that are presented in the white paper: embedded, wrapped & community based learning.
The global digital landscape is driving everyone towards becoming a lifelong learner. This represents the biggest opportunity that the sector has seen since its inception. All contemporary digital threats can be met by universities, if they compete. The Digital Campus explores how a change of mind-set along with a digital campus can offer universities the opportunity to ensure that they can compete and excel in the contemporary digital environment. And it also offers an answer to an age old problem – how to maintain and leverage a vibrant university community after its members leave the campus. - See more at: http://precedent.co.uk/our-thinking/reports/the-digital-campus#sthash.DtIXHSEn.dpuf

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

natural resource?
South Africa
OUR YOUTH
25
86%
population average age shifts from
from 14 to
Age 15 & Over who can read and
write
School equipped with Libraries
<10%
7.5-million South Africans are out of work. Young
people are worst affected, with over half of 18- to
25-year-olds unemployed
9. The Existing Playing Field
The National Education Infrastructure Management System of DoE shows that of
24929 Schools assessed in South Africa:
7883 have flush toilets and 1000 have no toilets at all
Only 2482, less than 10% have Equipped Science Laboratories
Fewer that 15% have Electricity
7.5% have a stocked library
Only 1 in 5 children in Grade 5 can read on a Grade 5 level
Less than half of all learners who enter Grade 10 go on to complete matric and
DoE estimates that the first year university throughput is not 40%
Education in South Africa receives the biggest share of the country's budget.
R165 billion was allocated to the Department so Basic Education and of Higher
Education and Training for 2010/11, R17 billion more than in 2009/10.
10. The Existing Playing Field
The following backlog is being experienced with regard to curriculum spaces at
schools across South Africa:
446 Replacement of mud, wood, prefabricated and metal structures
514 Schools to be provided with sanitation
714 Schools to be electrified
1,069 Schools to be provided with water
4,050 Sports facilities
13,617 Computer centres
14,989 Libraries
15,368 Multipurpose rooms
15,435 Nutrition centres
16,516 Administration blocks
12. Mission Statement (Got Game):
Putting the youth in touch with
resources to fuel their ambitions
13. The Existing Playing Field
Game is a social enterprise with the intent to build an application and e-commerce site – designed by
social entrepreneurs – to provide an online communal aggregation hub – allowing like minded
individuals and youth to publish their ideas, concepts, trade their goods and skills for commercial
gain + contributing a percentage to building schools, parks and hosting of a K12 educational
platform.
Got We believe that we have the opportunity to create a blend of corporate and youth sponsored
initiatives that will broaden the horizons for many hopeful young people who are seeking an
opportunity to showcase their worth through launching and supporting sustainable projects in their
surrounds.
The common thread that ties us all together is access to social media technology via mobile internet
as there are more registered cell phone handsets than there are bank accounts, university diplomas
We have used this common thread to form the basis for communication, collaboration and trade. It is
our expectation to grow this community to more than one (1) million active users across Sub-Saharan
Africa, Spain and the United States.
The youth are engaging more and more in a global village where they network and cross borders via
Facebook and other platforms to share their photos, news and experiences. We would like to take
this a step further an allow them to use this network to gain access to employment and funding
resources and opportunities that are currently under utilized. There are many young people living in
cities or rural areas that have no idea of the funding or resources available to them to support their
ideas and these ideas often die even before they have had the opportunity to blossom.
28. The Collaborative Approach on
Education
There is no need to wait for Schools Connectivity Projects to succeed to reach
the kids who need us most.
We will provide a learning platform that will allow learners interactive literacy
apps as well as access to advance beyond the classroom level through our
unique delivery and support method.
Saving teachers valuable time in finding digital resources that support teaching
and learning across the curriculum.
Safer search online search results.
Intuitive and easy to use, requiring little or no training.
Eliminating risk of copyright-infringement. Teachers have the freedom to use,
edit or repurpose resources any way they like.
Compatibility with commonly used educational software and tech.
Expertise and support from an established
organization, Cambridge University Press.

Extends learning opportunities beyond the classroom.

35. Enablement via the pop up
The Pop Up is a Digital Hub that offers a collection point for skills,
knowledge and expertise and innovation to foster growth and to assist the
facilitation of skills transfer and education in a single location
The Pop Up allows many to work without barriers, creating, using and
passing on knowledge for the benefit of all - students, businesses, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), senior citizens and the indigenous
community.
The Pop Up works well in supporting broadband reach for operators,
representing new avenues to increase ARPU as well as Social Impact.
The Pop Up through its technology bridges the digital divide by allowing
trainers and trainees, Universities and Students, Financial Institutions,
NGO’s and entrepreneurs to engage online or offline through programs
that can service communities to gain improvement in their daily lives
36. Opportunities in Services sector
The service sector represents only 25 per cent of the labour force in
developing countries compared with more than 67 per cent in the industrial
nations.
This sector is as amenable to stimulation by government policies as
agriculture or manufacturing, and it also provides impetus for the growth of
other sectors.
India has adopted an innovative, low-cost, self-employment strategy to
expand availability of long-distance telecommunications services by
setting up small private telephone and fax centres throughout the country.
Informal private service enterprises in construction, commerce, food
catering, repair and transport have vast growth potential
Sites such as elance.com, guru.com, odesk.com, getafreelancer.com,
sologig.com represent some of the
