This document provides information about the Metronet Information Literacy Initiative (MILI). MILI aims to improve information literacy skills among teachers and students. It does this through professional development for teachers and library media specialists on integrating information literacy standards into classroom teaching. MILI's goals are to influence the teaching of research, increase awareness and use of Web 2.0 tools, and encourage more collaboration between teachers and library media specialists on teaching the research process. The document discusses key aspects of information literacy and 21st century skills, as well as trends in technology, business, and education that demonstrate the need for these skills. It provides an overview of MILI's focus on research, reliable resources, and responsible use of

Google SketchUp for Media Architecture CommunicationMichael Vallance
Media Architecture Communication with Google SketchUp engages students in a formal design procedure, develops 21st century literacy skills, and achieves a high level of cognitive recognition. Moreover, implementing new mobile technologies such as the iPad in the second decade of the 21st century may indeed be a catalyst for change in pedagogy and learning. Of course, as mobile technologies (hardware and software) are becoming ubiquitous in both learning and community spaces the best use can only be assessed through research and practice. One of the challenge for researchers worldwide is to determine how communication processes alter, how learning benefits and how teaching changes when multiple-media-enabled mobile IT are commonly available. Moreover, the challenge of transmedia communication radically alters the identity of academics involved in technology-enhanced design and communication. The foreseeable ubiquity of augmentation, ambient technologies, and near field communication requires academics to implement inter-disciplinary courses. Media Architecture Communication academics can begin that change as instructors and researchers of Information Science.

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.
