This document summarizes three articles about new educational technologies:
1) A class at the University of Southern Mississippi uses webcams, Skype, and Bluetooth to allow students doing student teaching to attend lectures remotely. This allows them to keep their jobs while student teaching.
2) "Virtual Desktops" allow multiple users to share one PC and have their own virtual workspace without interfering with others. This could reduce school costs by cutting PC costs by 70% and electrical consumption by 90%.
3) The University of Washington uses videoconferencing to reach dental students in rural areas and help them with their dental school work remotely. Engineers aim to make the technology seamless so students can focus on their work rather
Technological advancements have grown beyond the expectations of humans. The truth is that
the society is at the top of technological progress and thus, attention is greatly shifted from a
technological advancement to the other. In almost every aspect of human life, technology use in
one way takes the lead (Pylyshyn, Zenon and Liam 119). Different societies convincingly
embrace the need and the impact of computers in daily operations. This essay Education by
Computer – A Better Way will elaborate how computers and technology in general have
enhanced the education process.

EFFECTIVE WAYS CLOUD COMPUTING CAN CONTRIBUTE TO EDUCATION SUCCESSacijjournal
Cloud computing and education sounds ambiguous on the face of it. Naturally, it’s because, very few individuals, publishers and users alike come from the education sector. In most cases, cloud computing is only associated with businesses and how they can leverage their efficiencies. Just to introduce how the cloud deserves a place in our current education institution, it’s important to reiterate the education philosophy. Its essence is knowledge. It’s this knowledge which brings advancement, achievement and success. However, there are several things which make these parameters unattainable. In blunt language,this is failure. Small classrooms, lack or resources, short-handed staff, lack of adequate teachers…the list is endless. One way or the other, cloud computing can be utilized to improve education standards and activities. The end result will be to curb the above problems and instead, boost performance.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

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.
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.

Educational Technology
1.
2. Inthe article by Trang Pham-Bui , from
Channel 13 news in PASCAGOULA,
Mississippi a new and upcoming
technology in the educational world is
discussed which could revolutionize the
education degree at colleges all across the
world!
3. In the article an education class at the
University of Southern Mississippi, uses
webcams on laptops, a SKYPE
conferencing account, and Bluetooth
headsets to communicate with soon to
be teachers, whom are doing their
student teaching/teacher’s aide time.
The article follows one student in
particular.
4. Marie Ann Fell, a senior at USM had this to
say about the new technology: quot;I'm able to
work full time and go to college, and to
able to get hands-on experience to see if
this is truly what I want to do with my life,“.
This technology allows students to keep
their jobs without having to go to lectures at
school because the professors can see
everything the student is doing with the
webcam, and can communicate instantly
via the Bluetooth headset.
5. This article discusses a new
educational technology called
“Virtual Desktops” according to the
article multiple users can share one
PC, and do all of their own stuff on the
virtual desktop without interfering with
the other students whom as also
sharing the same PC.
6. The article goes on to list quite a few
advantages of the virtual desktop that
could help several schools, especially
during the hard economic times. Some
of the advantages are: Cuts PC costs by
70%, Compatible with standard PC
technology, Drastically reduces IT
complexity, Slashes electrical
consumption by 90%. The only downfall is
it costs approximately $70 per seat.
7. The articles says that seven of the top ten school
districts in the United States have agreed to use this
new technology to cut costs, which they can then use
on the advancement of other services that need
assistance within the school as well. With these seven
school districts added that makes more than 1,500
school districts using the virtual desktop software, with
many more in negotiations to use it as well. To see a
demonstration on how this virtual desktop works click
the link below:

rating_systems_with_3d_virtual_desktop/
8. In this article by Elisa Casey, the University
of Washington’s RIDE (Regional Initiative
for Dental Education) is discussed. The
dental professors at the school had been
working for 5 years to be able to reach
students in the rural, and under-served
areas of Washington, and help them with
the work in the dental school.
9. UWTV video engineer, Noah Pitzer said: “It’s
our job to raise the level of
videoconferencing within the classroom to
near-television standards by incorporating
multiple cameras, high-quality audio and
seamless transitions for the users. We hope
to lessen the barrier of technology so that
people feel more connected and forget
the distance.” This is good, so that the
student can focus more on the work, and
the lesson.
10. According to a lot of students and
administrators at the school this new
videoconferencing and distance
learning is working, and it is helping the
people in these rural and underserviced
areas get the dental work they’ve both
needed and had been lacking for so
long.
11. In conclusion there are a lot of new
technologies out there that are making
education easier, better, more efficient
and overall more enjoyable for both the
student and the teacher. The three I
mentioned here are not nearly all of
them, and I am sure there a thousands
more in the works that will change the
face of education forever, and I for one
am looking forward to it…a lot!
