Technology is present in our everyday lives from e-mail to e-Commerce from Internet to Instant Messaging from Youtube videos to video conferencing from social networking to Skyping from texting to online textbooks. Technologies bring together the seemingly disparate concepts of ease and complexity. Compared to just ten years ago, we have much more ease in accessing information, resources, and multimedia, but keeping up with emerging technologies can be complex and overwhelming. Knowing what technologies your students have and how they can be leveraged to increase students' success in college can be intimidating. Emerging technologies such as social networking, multi-media sharing, collaborative workspaces, and mobile technologies are significantly changing the nature of learning and learner expectations for interaction, access, and engagement. Learning center professionals need to leverage emerging technologies in ways that can enhance they ways in which we deliver services, create resources, market our centers, manage and train staff, and evaluate our centers. This pre-conference institute will address the following:
Provide a practical guide for how to best understand and evaluate the usefulness of emerging technologies;
Introduce participants to some free technology resources that can help learning center professionals maximize their resources and outreach to students;
Discuss best practices in implementing technology innovations in learning centers; and
Help participants devise a plan for how to choose the technology tools that will help them meet their goals in managing their learning center.
Ong Meng Foong was teaching children English in the rural areas for 4 years. Ong Meng Foong dedicated most of the time to teach English to urban children instead. Not all families staying in the cities could afford English tuition, hence, Ong Meng Foong taught basic English and basic ukulele lessons to some poorer Children.

By contrast to often celebratory accounts of teaching contemporary digital media literacies, my thesis describes how the technological and material inequalities between students at a government and an independent school became mirrored in digital portfolios.

A Design Development and Research Conference 2014 presentation for a co-authored paper exploring two students' cases in very different formal and extra-mural contexts and the workarounds both made when preparing digital self-presentations and online portfolios.
Learners' relationships in class, and outside it, are important contributors to their self-presentation in e-portfolios as Visual Arts learners or performances in other roles.
I explore a cross-section of five e-portfolio examples from 29 learners. I describe the varied relationships and identities their choices reflect. Understanding these aspects is relevant for helping address a gap in research literature.
It is also important for educators to cater for in their design of e-portfolio syllabi. In particular, educators must do their best to ensure that e-portfolios do not simply amplify the privileges of richly-resourced learners or reflect the paucity of under-resourced ones.
This presentation explores the aspects of significance that are reflected in the extent, type and variety of design choices that Visual Arts learners make in designing e-portfolios. These include; attitudes to the disciplines in the school subject, relationships in constructing the e-portfolio and orientation to current and future audiences. A pedagogic reflection suggests that Visual Arts educators include these aspects when teaching e-portfolio curricula. Reflecting on their art, potential collaborators and audiences may help learners make more coherent choices.

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.

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.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.
High school staff's Web 2.0 and abundant digital media feedback
1. Abundant Digital Media at a Private High School A Report on Research Questionnaire Feedback Travis Noakes This report sums up feedback from 14 South African private High School educators to a presentation on Abundant Digital Media * . It raises concerns from their feedback and gives high-level recommendations for school management on Web 2.0 curriculum support. Due to research ethics requirements, the identity of the private school and its educators must remain confidential. July, 2010 Prepared by Travis Noakes, a PhD in Media Studies (UCT) candidate * View it at www.slideshare.net/TravisNoakes/get-ready-for-abundance-culture-at-high-school

3. Questionnaire Completion The Breakdown Travis Noakes Concern #2 Relatively few staff returned a completed survey, despite being encouraged to do so by the executive. The survey is unlikely to be representative. Concern #3 Few staff from school management returned completed questionnaires. Addressing the opportunities and hazards posed by abundant digital media may not be a priority for the school’s leadership.
6. 2. Will Abundant Digital Media Change Formal Education? The Likeliest Answer. Travis Noakes Concern #6 Although most educators believe it will have an impact, initial research fieldwork would suggest that few are prepared for this impact.

8. 3. Rate the Scope for Including Abundant Digital Media Software in Your Subject Curricula? Travis Noakes Concern #7 No feedback from educators in these subjects: Afrikaans, French, Latin and Xhosa. History. Music. Computer Studies. Mathematics. Physical Education. Concern #8 Are the educators that see scope in using Web 2.0 tools using them?
9. 4. Do The Benefits Of Using Abundant Digital Media Outweigh The Hazards For Students? Travis Noakes Concern #9 Just under 43% of educators are worried that the benefits of abundant digital media are not more than its hazards.
10. 5. Rate Your Attitude Towards Using Free Software in the Classroom? Travis Noakes Concern #10 While most educators have a positive attitude towards using free software in the classroom, they may not know how or why to teach with it.
