Presentation made by IASA Associate Director Dr. Richard Voltz for teachers. The purpose of this presentation is to motivate teachers to engage students more in their own learning and to inform teachers of the various technology tools that are available to them to use in the classroom.
What am I good at?
What do I enjoy doing?
What values are important to me?
The journey to success begins with the question “What do you want to do?”
Except you no one else can define success for you. For Donald Trump, success meant making lots of money. For Ted Turner, it meant building a media empire that could challenge the major networks. For Albert Einstein it meant unraveling the secrets of the universe. For mother Theresa it meant ministering to the needs of the destitute in India.
You won’t really succeed unless the things you accomplish bring you pleasure and satisfaction.
Ken Kay (EdLeader21), Bill Taylor (St. George's), and Chris Thinnes (Curtis School) discuss EdLeader21's 7 steps and share examples of transformative practice from public and private schools. From a panel at the NAIS Annual Conference, 2013.

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.

Continued growth in technology strains school and district technology policies. The F2F and virtual networks we foster for ourselves are our best support!
“ Does it work?” None of us likes to think of ourselves as getting older. But the bewildered question of an adolescent who is flummoxed by the sight of an object us old people take for granted certainly makes us feel old. What lead up to this question requires a bit of context. Nancy was scheduled to speak to a group of school principals in a nearby community. It has become our practice to include students from the high school where we work in our presentations, whenever possible, in order to introduce student perspectives to the audience. Three tenth grade students, Coraima, Susana, and Mariana, accompanied Nancy to this presentation because she has known them since kindergarten. The girls participated in a unique project that involved looping with the same classmates and teachers from K-5 (Grove, 2005) so they had a deep sense of the kinds of supports they received during their early schooling years. As the four of them entered the room where the professional development meeting would take place, the girls stopped and let out an audible gasp. “ Does it work?” asked Coraima. Nancy looked to the front of the room to see what Coraima was referring to, and then silently contemplated her own mortality. Coraima was referring to the chalkboard. Given that there was a piece of chalk in the tray, Nancy was able to answer in the affirmative. She watched as the three teenagers approached the board and took turns making tentative marks with the chalk. “It’s soft,” said Mariana. Nancy realized at that moment that the girls had never had a chalkboard in their classrooms, only whiteboards and dry erase markers. More recently, they have become acquainted with interactive smart boards and document cameras. Their only experiences with chalk were of the sidewalk variety, where the rough surface requires more pressure and a firmer stroke. And as members of a digital generation, their syntax reflected a world view of communication tools as active, not passive.
Considering all the advances that have occurred in the last 115 years, it is disturbing that education has changed so little. Beyond the superficial alterations, much remains the same. The teacher stands in front of the room, lecturing about content the students are supposed to know, while students are supposed to passively absorb all the information. In fact, that’s an even more ancient belief—John Locke first forwarded the notion of tabula rasa (blank slate) in 1690.
In English, students chose a worthy cause and established a Facebook page with information about it. A goal was to get at least 20 people to “Like” it. This provided great feedback to students, especially when asked for more information. Students were able to continue to refine their pages based on what others were commenting on. This assignment was the creative component for the question. Students also wrote a formal essay in response to the question. The next slides are examples from this portion of the assignment.
This was the schoolwide essential question for 9 weeks.
This standards are listed in the handout.
