The document discusses the history of science and technology in India. It explains that science is the systematic study of the natural world through observation and experimentation, while technology is the practical application of scientific knowledge. In ancient India, developments included shipbuilding, calendars, mining, and medicinal plant knowledge. After colonization, the Spanish and Americans influenced growth in these fields. Prominent Indian scientists like Raman, Bhabha, and Abdul Kalam contributed pioneering work. Today, India sees increasing private investment and policy support driving the growth of science and technology, though low incomes and infrastructure pose challenges to development.

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 French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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.

2. WHAT IS SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY?
SCIENCE- It is the intellectual and practical activity
encompassing the systematic study of the structure and
behavior of the physical and natural world through
observation and experiment.
TECHNOLOGY- It is the application of scientific
knowledge for practical purposes, especially in industry.
3. Is Technology related to Science?
Technology is the practical
application of science. Without
science, technology can not be
developed . In other words
science is the theory behind the
technology.
4. HOW DOES SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY MAKE
THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE IN?
Science and technology has been of a great help to
mankind to make their lives better. Technology provides to
us a better knowledge, faster ways of locomotion and
communication.
Better knowledge-computers have replaced books in the
present world. A lot can be learned over the internet. It
helps in doing lot of research on information for projects
quickly rather than going to library.
5. Faster way of locomotion – Nowdays, ways of locomotion such as car ,motorcycle, train and
airplanes has facilitated our lives as opposed to ships in the olden time which used to take a lot
of time to reach the destination . The airplane presently the fastest means of travel is very
comfortable and safe among the rest of the ways of locomotion.
communication-When we talk about communication ,the telephone, and the internet come into
our mind .
Their uses are essential to the society ,and it has become much easier to communicate by
telephone than by mail used in the olden days. The mail which was a slow means of
communication has been replaced by a much faster means now.
People can pay bills by the internet in a safe way.
6. SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
INTRODUCED IN INDIA IN THE PAST.
Jawaharlal Nehru ,the first prime minister of India had initiated reforms to
promote higher education ,science, and technology in India.
Education- the Indian institutes of technology- conceived by a 22 members
committee of scholars and entrepreneurs in order to promote technical
education in India. More IITs were opened in Bombay, Madras, Kanpur and
Delhi in the late 1950s and the early 1960s. Five Indian institute of technology
were listed among the 10 science and technology schools in Asia.
Space research organization- beginning in the 1960s close ties with the
soviet union enabled the Indian space research organization to rapidly
develop the Indian space program and advanced nuclear power in India.
7. Advancement in engineering-development of Roads.
Advanced metallurgy- production of steel in India.
Advanced textile manufacturing- production of cotton in India.
