This document discusses the role of technology in 21st century education. It argues that education should prepare students to be active, successful members of society. Students should gather information independently and collaborate with others, while teachers provide guidance. Learning involves hands-on activities and discovery rather than just memorization. Technology is an important tool that provides easy access to information and allows for different learning styles. It can enhance skills like research that students will need in future education and careers.
Roles and functions of educational technology in 21st Century educationKirigaya Kazuto
The term “21st century” has become the central part of educational thinking and planning for the future. Administrators and Teachers are actively searching for ways to prepare students for the future, and the educational system has been evolving faster than ever before. Creating a 21st century education system is about making sure that all students are prepared to succeed in a competitive world – a world with plenty of opportunities for highly skilled individuals and limited options for everyone else.
Globalization has opened up the world and allowed people to connect in new and exciting ways. We blend traditions and create unique belief systems and also transmit our values and cultures without the expectation of them being adopted by our audience. As always, at its core, the role of education is to prepare students to become active, successful, and contributing members of society.
Instruction should be student-centered
Instead of passively receiving information, the students would gather information on their own, under the guidance of their teacher. Different learning styles are encouraged, and students have an enhanced sense of motivation and responsibility.
They engage in many different types of hands-on activities, as well as demonstrate learning in many differentways. Learning is about discovery, not the memorization of facts.
In order to prepare students to play their role in the 21st century society we are a part of, the following can be considered when deciding how education will look in our schools and classrooms.
Education should be collaborative
Students must learn how to collaborative with others. Students should be encouraged to work together to discover information, piece it together, and construct meaning and should learn how to recognize the different strengths and talents each person can bring to a project, and change roles depending on those attributes. Schools should also be collaborating with other educational institutions around the world to share information and learn about different practices or methods that have been developed.
Learning should have context
Students are encouraged to learn in different ways, the teacher still provides guidance as to the skills that need to be acquired. The teacher can make a pint of helping students to understand how the skills they are building can be applied in their lives. Students will be so much motivated to learn something that they can se the value in. We need to take a more general approach and teach them the skills that they are useful in any situation.
Technology is a tool, a way for fact-based learning and allows students to do a lot of the research using the internet and various tools. The Role of Technology in 21st Century Learning:
1. Technology allows for24/7 access to information
2. Constant social interaction, and
3. Easily created and shared digital content.
Educational technology is the use of both physical hardware, software, and educational theoretic to facilitate learning and improve performance by creating, using, and managing appropriate technological processes and resources.

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.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
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.

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.

can see the value in. lessons have little
purpose if they do not have any impact
in a students life outside of the school.
6. Technology is a tool, away for fact-
based learning and allows students
to do a lot of the research using the
internet and various tools. And at
the same time these students are
leaning very valuable research skills,
which they can transplant at high
level of education at universities and
beyond.
10. 1. IMPROVEMENT OF TEACHING
Educational technology analyses the process of teaching
thoroughly. It tries to find out the different variables of teaching their
interlinks effect upon each other, Relationships, theories of teaching
phases of teaching principles of teaching, maxims of teaching etc, by
developing the theories of teaching, it helps in improving the quality of
education.
2. ANALYSIS OF THE TEACHING-LEARNING PROCESS
Educational technology aims at analyzing the process of teaching-
learning thoroughly, it tries to find out the different variables of teaching
their interlink effects upon each other, relationship etc.
3. IMPROVEMENT OF LEARNING
Educational technology analyses the process of learning and the
related theories. It facilitates more and more of learning in less time. It
takes the help of various empirically established generalizations from
psychology, sociology, physical sciences, engineering etc.
11. 4. ENHANCING GOALS OF EDUCATION
The objectives of education are being reviewed and
revise with the passage of time. Educational technology helps in
finding out the right objectives, everything in this universe is
undergoing tremendous changes and with a very speed.
5. TRAINING TO TEACHER
The changed type of environment with new curriculum and
new materials is to be handled by the teachers, right type of
training to the teachers is the need of the hour. Educational
technology can render its valuable help in the training of
teachers also.
6. DEVELOPMENT OF CURRICULUM
Keeping in view the objectives of education, which have
been finalized by education technology thereafter, cones the
question of developing right type of curriculum. Only a suitable
type of curriculum will help in the attainment of goals.
